A. GMSA has established a points system to track teams with disciplinary problems. Any GMSA team who reaches a cumulative point total of nine (9) will be subject to team probation.  Points are accumulated through any sending off violation throughout the course of a season. Points are equivalent to the "class" of offense as dictated in section V.  (All Class One offenses are equal to one (1) team probation point. All Class Two offenses are equal to two (2) team probation points; and so on.)

B. When a team accumulates a total of nine (9) points in one season, that team is placed on probation for the following season. At that time, the team will be required to post a $200 bond at least two weeks prior to start of the season. If the team fails for provide the bond, the team will not be included on the schedule for the coming season.  The team is also automatically declared ineligible for the league tournament held during the following season.  

C. If the team does NOT accumulate five (5) team probation points during the probationary season, and avoids all class three (or higher) offenses, over the specified time frame, the $200 bond will be returned at the end of the probationary period.

D. However, if the team DOES accumulate five (5) or more team probation points over the specified time frame, OR receives a red card (ejection) for an offense of class three status or higher (i.e., fighting), the $200 bond will be forfeited to the league. The team will also be expelled from the league immediately for at least one full season. Any games remaining in the current season will be cancelled, and will not be rescheduled. Refunds of lost registration fees will not be given to team members for any reason.

E. If a team is allowed to return to GMSA following an expulsion, it will be subject to the same probationary criteria as described in section 7B.
