the team representative will be notified by mail or phone. Suspensions
carry over to all leagues and tournaments played at either Oakwood
facility. |

Any player receiving a second red card may be suspended for the remainder of the
league session with no refund of fees. | | C. |
Any "major suspension" (8 weeks or

his/her drivers license for on-file purposes. Failure to do
so will jeopardize reinstatement.
