How do yellow and red cards work?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yellow card: you leave the playing surface immediately and can return after 7 minutes of playing time in the lightning round, or 10 minutes in finals. You may be replaced by another player at any time. Second yellow card: a second yellow card offence means the umpire shows you a red card. Red card: you leave the playing surface for the rest of the match and cannot be replaced for that match. Suspension: two yellow cards or a red card brings an automatic one match suspension, served straight after the match. If it happens in a finals match, it is served after that match or in the first match of the competition in the next year you take part. The tribunal can increase any suspension.
