During our first season in the IFFC (04-05), the Barbarians decided as a team, by vote, to issue a number of individual fines for various indiscretions. The intention at that time was to help instill some discipline into some areas where we seemed to be getting a little lax. After some modifications, the management team approved the following fines and amounts. If you are found to be guilty of any of the following, the associated fine should be paid to the Treasurer (Dirk) without any undue delay in other words "just buck up and admit you screwed up". Ideally, we will play the entire season without having to issue any of these fines!! In fact, some of these fines have never needed to be enforced! Let's keep it that way and
HAVE A GREAT 2006-07 SEASON!!!!
Punctuality -
Failure to be at the ground for a match at least 20 minutes prior to the scheduled kick-off time 40 RMB fine. To avoid any dispute over the actual time, the "official time" will be kept by the Treasurer (or another member of the management in his absence). Please phone Lee as early as possible if you are going to be late. Unusual circumstances will be taken into consideration if you communicate early with Lee.
Communication -
Failure to inform Lee that you are unavailable for a match at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled kick-off time 40 RMB fine. Please respond to Lee's emails or text-messages promptly, so we know who to expect at the match.
Commitment
If you fail to turn-up for a match without any prior communication or just cause 100 RMB fine. You're really letting the rest of the team down.
Yellow Card
50 RMB fine. If you feel that the yellow card is unjust and you wish to appeal, the Disciplinary Committee (DC) consisting of Lee, Keith and David C. will decide immediately following the match whether the fine will be enforced. Members of the DC will be substituted by other team members prior to the match if they are not present.
Red Card (via 2 Yellow Cards)
200 RMB fine. The same procedure for appeals will be employed.
Red Card (Immediate Expulsion)
250 RMB fine. The same procedure for appeals will be employed.
