Re: DU vs CC Gold Pan Weekend!!
How do you think that?
OK...
1) He got in a fight.
2) He got penalized for that, which includes a 5 minute major and an automatic 10 minute misconduct with accompanying game disqualification.
3) A game disqualification requires an automatic one game suspension per NCAA rules.
4) That means he can NOT dress tonight.
Clear enough?
Thank you for straightening me out Chris. You're clearly smarter then me.
Just read over the rules (see below). I don't feel as bad for being confused. The PA announcer said it was a game misconduct. He didn't say anything about a DQ. In this case he should have said a game misconduct and a game DQ. Fighting has become a rare event at the college level. I wasn't aware that punching was an automatic DQ.
A game misconduct penalty involves the suspension of a player, coach
or other non-playing persons for the balance of the game; however, a
substitute is permitted to replace a player immediately. The offending
player, coach or non-playing persons must leave the bench and playing
surface immediately and may not communicate with or contact team
personnel in any manner until the game is completed. Any contact with
game officials is prohibited.
Medical personnel cannot be assessed a game misconduct penalty.
A player who is assessed a game misconduct penalty is suspended for
the remainder of that game only. The player shall be allowed to play in
the team’s next scheduled game.
The referee shall describe to the captain the violation that caused the
misconduct penalty if requested to do so.
HR-44 RULE 4 / PENALTIES
Disqualification Penalties
SECTION 5. a. A disqualification penalty involves the removal of a player,
including a goalkeeper, for the remainder of the game plus a major
penalty, and may be assessed before the start of the game, during or
after the game.
When coincidental disqualification penalties are assessed against an
equal number of players of each team, the teams then shall be permitted
substitutions on the ice for the penalized players.
The offending player may not go to the penalty bench and may
not, for the duration of the penalty (including any progressive gamedisqualification
penalty), occupy any area designated or reserved for
players, and may not communicate or contact team personnel in any
manner for the duration of the disqualification penalty(s). A substitute,
other than a spare goalkeeper, must enter the penalty bench immediately
in the place of the disqualified player(s) and enter the game after the
five-minute penalty(s) has elapsed.
A player may be assessed more than one disqualification penalty in
a game.
b. The progressive game-disqualification structure shall be:
1. First disqualification penalty—that game plus one.
2. Second disqualification penalty—that game plus two.
3. Third disqualification penalty—that game plus three.
4 Fourth disqualification penalty—that game plus four.
(The progression shall continue after the fourth disqualification penalty.)
c. Progressive game-disqualification penalties shall carry over to the next
season for players with remaining eligibility.
d. The team of the disqualified player(s) shall be permitted to dress a
substitute player or players (equal to the number of disqualified players)
in the next scheduled game.
A player who receives a disqualification penalty in any game (including
exhibition games) shall not be permitted to play in the team’s next played
regular-season or tournament game against an NCAA member institution.
Exhibition games
Sadly, I live in Parker and go to all of the CC home games, but almost never go to the games at Denver, which is much closer.
