[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 908695, member: 20605"] I pinched the idea of a making the card Black off a number of other sports... A Black Card in fencing is issued for a serious rule infraction and results in immediate disqualification A Black Card in badminton is the same, immediate disqualification A Black Flag in FIA motor racing is immediate disqualification Gaelic Football also uses a Black Card but its between the Red and the Yellow, and the player can be subsituted As a said earlier, I was simply floating an idea I had seen in another sport, in this case, Ice Hockey Their sin bin is called The Penalty Box.. and it literally is a box... [IMG]https://aviewfrommyseat.com/thumb/kmooneyh182-20150213123821.jpg[/IMG] Their Penalty Box is two minutes for a minor infraction. If a team scores a goal while an opponent is serving a [B]non-coincidental[/B] minor penalty, the penalty is cancelled and the player may return to the ice. AIUI, "non-coincidental" means that if the penalty is incurred in the scoring of a goal, that goal doesn't bring the player back, the next one does. In reality the Ice Hockey rule is a bit more complicated than that when it comes to double (more serious) penalties, I can explain it if you wish but I wasn't thinking of using it here anyway. What I had in mind was the preventing of the situation we had last week where France copped a YC (an unjustified one IMO) and while the player was off, NZ scored three converted tries. [/QUOTE]
