Responsible Organization

A disciplinary case is typically carried out within an organization, usually within a national federation, but occasionally, a regional association may also manage it.

The Disciplinary Administrator is responsible for overseeing the process in accordance with the hierarchical principle. Depending on the case, the decision is made on whether or not the offender will be sanctioned.

By FIFA regulations, there are various types of sanctions, e.g., fines, rewards return, suspensions for a certain number of matches, etc. The sanctions in COMET are categorized in the same manner as those in FIFA.

The player receiving a red card is sent off from the field and automatically suspended from the next match. For every person who gets a red card, once the match is set to ‘PLAYED’, COMET automatically inserts a new disciplinary case. It adds an active sanction, "Suspension for a certain number of matches," where the number of suspended matches is set to one (or as many as the Association rules require). In most cases, no other additional action is required.

While the player has an active sanction, he will be marked in red for the next match. Mouse hovering over his name will inform you of the reason his name is marked red. He will appear on the list like the other players when the sanction expires or is closed.

If, for any reason, the player receives an additional sanction or is suspended for more matches than just one, the user with the appropriate roles and permissions must search for their disciplinary case and update the existing sanction or add new sanctions.
