1. If the referee ejects a person from a BAYS game, that person will be automatically suspended from participating in their next BAYS game. This suspension applies to regular season games, Presidents’ Cup, BAYS playoffs, or MTOC events. If the ejection was for violent conduct, fighting, abusive/derogatory language, or certain forms of serious foul play, the suspension may be for longer. Details about the ejection must be filed immediately in the game report,, which is automatically sent to the Ejection Director. If a suspended person participates in a game for which their suspension applies, the team will forfeit the game, and this violation will be referred to the Respect Committee.     

2. If a person receives a second ejection during a season, the matter will be referred to the Respect Committee, which may subject the offender to additional discipline.

3. When the Ejection Director receives a report of an ejection, there are five possible outcomes:

   1. Leave the suspension at one game.

   2. Increase the suspension to two games for a more serious offense . 

   3. If the Ejection Director considers an ejection offense to be more egregious or if there are more than two ejections in a game, the Ejection Director shall refer the situation to the Respect Committee.

   4. If the Red card violation is for “Used Offensive, Insulting, or Abusive Language - directed at referee” the referee is required to also submit the offense as a RAP violation in the game report. The Ejection Director will refer this situation to the RAP Committee.

   5. If the Ejection Director believes the ejection to be unjust, the suspension may be removed.

4. A club official may request reconsideration of a suspension to the Ejection Director. The request for reconsideration must be received no less than 3 days before the suspension is scheduled to be served. The reconsideration does not stay the suspension. The Ejection Director or Respect Committee will review and either affirm or modify the decision. .

5. Consequences of Misconduct and Fracas
   If a member or members of a team, any person responsible for the team, or a team’s spectators engage in misconduct or violations of the Codes of Conduct, before, during, or after a game, the offenders will be subject to discipline by the Respect Committee.
   Coaches should file an online Game Feedback Report about the misconduct that will get routed to the Second Vice President as well as to Club officials who will investigate the matter.
   The Mass Youth Soccer Misconduct Matrices will be used to help determine the reporting entities, course of action, and consequences of incidents of verbal, physical, or sexual misconduct.

6.  If a player leaves the bench area to take part in a fracas and is ejected by the referee, he shall be subject to additional discipline, by action of the Respect Committee. 

The Ejection Director and Respect Committee’s decisions are final within BAYS.
