Accumulated Yellow Cards console

On the upgraded Accumulated Yellow Cards tab on the Competition screen, this console provides Competition Administrators and Managers better insight and more control over accumulated yellow cards generated and managed within the competition.

Competition administrators have complete information and control of all accumulated yellow cards generated and managed within competitions. 

To access the console:

• Open specific Competition

• Click on the Accumulated Yellow Cards tab

The console for Yellow card management contains all relevant information about every accumulated yellow card given in current or relevant competitions, including:

• information about a single accumulated yellow card given in current or relevant competitions

• information on the status of accumulated yellow cards (if it is served in a match) - hover over the text to check match information

• information on the status of accumulated yellow cards (active/inactive)

• information on whether the person holding the yellow card is currently suspended; this column will always state ‘No’ in case the card is already marked as SERVED or is INACTIVE

Yellow card management

After selecting the yellow card(s) from the console, there are 4 actions the user can perform:

1. Serve:

• Select the YC you want to serve

• Hit the ✖ Serve button

• After this option is chosen, the dialog will appear

• Choose the match where the person has served the suspension via the dialog shown

• Hit the 💾 Save button

The serve option can only be used if selected cards are not already served and belong to the same person.

2. Clear:

Users can mark the selected yellow cards as ‘'not served,’' i.e., clear the ‘'served’' status if needed. The ‘'clear option’' will make YC relevant for accumulated yellow card calculations.

• Select the served YC you want to Clear

• Hit the 🗑 Clear button

• After choosing this option, a pop-up dialog with a warning message will be displayed.

• Hit the Yes button if you want to deactivate the serving of the YC.

 The clear option can only be used if selected cards have already been served.

3. Activate:

Users can activate the inactive yellow cards, making them relevant for calculating accumulated yellow cards.

• Select the inactive YC you want to activate

• Hit the ✔ Activate button

• After choosing this option, a pop-up dialog with a warning message will be displayed.

• Hit the Yes button if you want to activate the deactivated YC.

The activate option can only be used if selected cards are inactive.

 4. Deactivate

Users can deactivate active yellow cards, making them irrelevant for accumulated yellow card calculations.

• Select the active YC you want to deactivate

• Hit the ➖ Deactivate button

• After this option is chosen, a pop-up dialog with a warning message will be displayed.

• Hit the ☑️ Yes button if you want to deactivate the active YC.

The deactivate option can only be used if selected cards are active.

The calculation of accumulated yellow cards

How to use the Deactivate action (an example):

If a specific club has left the competition and the user needs to deactivate all yellow cards for that club, this functionality lets you deactivate them in a single action.

• Filter the YC data table by club name

• Hit the Select All button

• Hit the ➖ Deactivate button

Please note that the Select All button selects only the item displayed on the page. If you need to select more YCs at the time, adjust the ‘Items per page’ option.

Reset Yellow Cards on Competition Round

As an alternative to using the Accumulated Yellow cards console, you can configure resetting the yellow cards after specific competition rounds. To do so, you can use Reset Yellow Cards checkbox on Competition Round, which, if enabled, deactivates all accumulated yellow cards at the end of that round. It is most commonly used in elimination competitions, e.g., in quarter finals, so that players are cleared before the semifinals.

This reset is triggered automatically once a match in that round is finalized (set to PLAYED or CANCELLED), but only if all other matches involving the same clubs in that round are also finalized. At that point, all accumulated yellow cards for players and officials of those clubs are cleared.

Only persons who are currently registered with the club will be included in the reset. If a player or official is no longer registered (i.e., has no confirmed registration), their yellow cards will not be reset automatically and must be handled manually.

Be careful when scheduling matches across rounds. If some matches are played earlier or later than expected, the reset might be applied sooner than intended, potentially affecting player eligibility.
