Monetary Sanctions
As previously explained, a Disciplinary case can be opened against each entity in COMET.
For example, it can be opened against referees, coaches, clubs, but most frequently players. In addition to receiving suspensions for a certain number of matches or for a specified period, it is very common for Clubs, Players, or Team officials to be sanctioned with a monetary fine.
In accordance with the league competition rules and association disciplinary code, for each played match and round (after the referee makes it official by changing the status of the match), the system can be configured in a way to provide the following automatically:
Default amount of monetary fine for a yellow card (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
Default amount of monetary fine for a red card (direct red vs 2nd yellow)
Default amount of monetary fine for the expulsion of a team official
Furthermore, COMET can be configured to track the payment status of these fines and even prevent individuals from participating in matches until the fines are paid. If your association is using COMET for this purpose, a special console called „Monetary sanctions“ can assist users in tracking the status of all sanctions of type „Fine“.
If you have the required permissions in the system, you can access the menu option “Monetary sanctions“ listed in the „Disciplinary“ module.
The Monetary sanctions console shows two distinct tabs:
„Active – unpaid“ sanctions
„Inactive – paid/canceled “ sanctions.
The initial screen immediately displays a list of “Active - unpaid” sanctions, along with relevant details for each one. If you want to consult the list of inactive – paid/cancelled sanctions, you can do it on the same screen with a single click on the tab “Inactive –paid /canceled“. To obtain the list of monetary sanctions, you can download an Excel document by clicking the 📄 File button in the top right corner of the table. Clicking the ➡️ Right Arrow button takes you directly to the disciplinary case details, where you can view, edit, close, or delete the case/sanction if you have the required system permissions to perform these actions.
To narrow down the selection, the list of active sanctions allows you to search by date and filter the list by any of the data table columns. If you would like to obtain the sanctions for a certain period of time, the System allows you to specify a range of dates (based on the date of the Disciplinary Case) and press the „Search“ button (see image below). The list will display only the sanctions that match your criteria.
