How are penalty points determined and why are points taken off the teams standings once the penalty points have reached a certain level?
Penalty points are determined by the rules of the North Texas State Soccer Association and based on the referees report. These points accumulate over the course of the playing season, and once a team has reached 30 penalty points, 3 points are taken from their standings. This is our way of asking you to keep your teams under control. Three (3) points from a teams standings can and has kept teams from post season play. We understand that some referees give cards that teams do not always agree with, but why do other teams that have the same referee not get the cards. Its all a matter of how a team plays the referee, and the teams way of dealing with it. At fifty (50) penalty points a team is sent to the North Texas State soccer Association for further discipline and cannot be allowed to participate in any post season play.
