Home and Away + Neutral Sites

 Teams should strive for a one third split between all venues  If no neutral site games, it should be a 50/50 split between home and away

Neutral sites: When appropriate, may be utilized to minimize travel and provide:

 Better options for referee scheduling  Better league management and oversight  Improved observation and identification for the Kentucky and/or U.S. Youth Soccer Region II ODP

15

Travel Considerations

 If teams are travelling more than two (2) hours, games should not kickoff prior to 11am or after 5pm

Time Zones

 Game time will be listed as local time of the site

Scheduling Kickoff Times

 Game times should be set on the odd hours, for example 9am, 11am, 1pm, etc.

16

26

Accumulative Yellow Cards

 Any player who receives five (5) yellow cards or coach who receives three (3) documented, in referee’s official game report, warnings in three separate games over the course of a single playing season shall be suspended for the next played KPL game.  Two (2) yellow cards received during the same game will count as one (1) red card ONLY for accumulative suspension purposes.  It is primarily the responsibility of the club or team to follow ethical practices in enforcing this penalty.  The Director of Competition will track yellow card accumulation. This is an automatic suspension and not subject to a hearing.

27

Accumulative Red Cards Any coach, manager, team official or player receiving two (2) ejections in a single playing season may be suspended from participating in any further KPL games during that season. A KPL Disciplinary Hearing may be required.
