Tricky cases
What is "captains only"?
The referee talks only to the captains; others who approach are warned.
Are single yellows carried to the next stage?
No. They are cleared.
What happens to a player who fakes their impairment?
A ban of one to four years.
Is the appeal fee returned if upheld?
No. Only the fine is, except for mistaken identity.
Why the rule exists
Fixed minimums make discipline the same at every tournament.
