CLARIFICATION: Some individuals have penalty points from yellow and red cards for regular-season games. If these individuals receive an additional card during the tournament game(s), these individuals would have an accumulation of penalty points and would have a minimum one game-sit out due for the next scheduled tournament game.
However, if the situation occurs during the last tournament game, then these penalties carry forward to Fall 2008 for the individual and would require the minimum of the 1 game sit-out at the first opportunity that the team plays their first game.
