Tuesday Open MOD (formerly Co-Rec Division) Rules

26.1 Slide tackling is not allowed in the Tuesday Open Mod Division. Goalkeepers are exempt from this rule while playing inside the goal box and instead will be held to the usual and customary rules and regulations of the goalkeeper position.
The first offense will result in a Yellow Card (unless deemed serious foul play or other Red Card offense) and a verbal warning by the referee to both teams that all subsequent slides that endanger another player will result in ejection of offending players. Players ejected for a dangerous slide will be reported on the game sheet as having received a Red Card for dangerous sliding. The offending player’s Player Identification Card will be returned at the end of the game and no penalty other than expulsion from the current game shall be imposed under this rule unless the Officiator determines the play to be serious foul play or the victim of the slide was injured and unable to continue play for the duration of the game.
In the event of serious foul play or an injury that prevents the victim from continuing to play for the duration of the game, the Officiator will forward the offending player’s Player Identification Card to the league office and the Judicial Committee will determine the consequence beyond the current game suspension. The player will be notified of any suspension and/or fine.

26.2 Sliding (going to ground with your body) to make a play on a ball is allowed in the Tuesday Open MOD division when the slide does not endanger or make contact with another player and does not engage a player currently in possession of the ball.

26.3 Contact from behind with force is not allowed in the Tuesday Open MOD Division. The first offense will result a Yellow Card (unless deemed serious foul play or other Red Card offense) and a verbal warning by the referee to both teams that all subsequent contact from behind with force will result in ejection of offending players. Players ejected for contact
from behind will be reported on the game sheet as having received a Red Card for reckless play. The offending player’s Player Identification Card will be returned at the end of the game and no penalty other than expulsion from the current game shall be imposed under this rule unless the Officiator determines the play to be serious foul play or the victim of the reckless play was injured and unable to continue play for the duration of the game.

In the event of serious foul play or an injury that prevents the victim from continuing to play for the duration of the game, the Officiator will forward the offending player’s Player Identification Card to the league office and the Judicial Committee will determine the consequence beyond the current game suspension. The player will be notified of any suspension and/or fine.

 Bicycle and scissor kicks are not allowed and will result in a yellow card if no player contact is made and will result in a red card in the case of contact or injury of another player.

Unlimited substitutions are allowed and players may re-enter the game at any stoppage time with approval from the Referee.

FIFA rules will be followed with the exception of the above stated changes.

The Greater Seattle Soccer League reserves the right to suspend, fine, and/or expel players or teams without refunds.
