*Changes are designated with bold type.*
Outdoor Rule 33b-e has been revised to clarify that yellow and red card suspensions from the player’s next game of equal or higher handicap cannot be served in consolation games, first-round games in subsidiary tournaments, or shootouts; and that such suspensions in USPA Events cannot be served in Club Events.
RULE 33 – UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT
e. As used in this Rule 33, the meaning of the terminology “next game of equal or higher handicap” depends on whether the incident precipitating the suspension or yellow flag status in question occurs during or after a Club Event or during or after a USPA Event, as those terms are defined in the USPA Tournament Conditions. When a player is suspended for all or any part of his or her next game of equal or higher handicap or receives an enhanced yellow flag status for that game as the result of one or more yellow flag(s) or a red flag issued to him or her during or after a Club Event, that suspension (including any unserved time in the penalty box) or enhanced yellow flag status must be served or accepted in the player’s next game of equal of higher handicap in a Club Event or a USPA Event that is not a consolation game, the first round game in a subsidiary event, or a shootout. When a player is suspended for all or any part of his or her next game of equal or higher handicap or receives an enhanced yellow flag status for that game as a result of one or more yellow flag(s) or a red flag issued him or her during or after a USPA Event, that suspension (including any unserved time in the penalty box) or enhanced yellow flag status may only be served or accepted in the player’s next game of equal or higher handicap in a USPA Event that is not a consolation game, the first round game in a subsidiary event, or a shootout.
