List of Suspension Scopes
The suspension is a formal football punishment in the form of a ban on participating in one or more matches and attending them. The Suspension may be imposed on a player or an official.
Competition - suspends a person in the same competition or in a competition under the same parent as the competition in the sanction disciplinary case
Competition type - suspends a person in a competition of the same type as the type of the competition in the sanction disciplinary case
Competition element - suspends a person only in a single Competition Element without affecting other competitions within the same Parent Competition, as is the competition element of the sanction's disciplinary case
Age category - suspends a person in the competition of the same age category as the age category of the competition in the sanction disciplinary case
IDs of age categories should be the same, as there is a seniors category for some tenants under one ID, while others are under a second ID, for the national team under a third ID. Those categories are not considered the same.
Sport - suspends person in competition of same sport as is the sport of the competition of sanction's disciplinary case (please, note that international competitions are divided from national competitions because AFA's default suspension scope is sport, but persons suspended in AFA should not be suspended in CONMEBOL competitions)
Organization team type - suspends person in national team competitions if sanction's disciplinary case is connected to a national team competition or suspends person in club competitions if sanction's disciplinary case is connected to a club competition (please, note that this scope makes sense for usage only in CONMEBOL and CONCACAF and it also differentiates between friendly and official competition types since suspension in an official match should not suspend person in the friendly match and vice versa)
Organization age category - a person is marked as suspended only in matches of competitions within the same organization and age category.
Organization - Makes a person suspended only if the organization of the disciplinary case equals the organization of the match/competition.
Organization hierarchically - a person is suspended only if the organization of the disciplinary case equals the organization of the match/competition, or if the organization of the disciplinary case is hierarchically above the organization of the match/competition. The organizations in the hierarchy are searched only under the same tenant as the tenant of the match/competition (i.e., a confederation or world federation suspension is ignored for domestic matches and vice versa).
Tenant - suspends a person in any competition managed by the same tenant (most tenants are either National associations or Confederations, and each manages their own competitions)
All - suspends a person everywhere (in domestic and international competitions). This option should be used with caution, as it may affect other tenants in a multi-tenant environment.
