I.
Rules
A. Flagrant “1” – unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent. The
opposing team is awarded two free throws and possession.
B. Flagrant “2” – unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an
opponent. The opposing team is awarded two free throws and possession and the
player committing the foul is automatically ejected.
C. Any player who commits two Flagrant “1” fouls in the same game will be
automatically ejected.
II.
Review Process
A. The League Office will review all flagrant fouls (“1” and “2”) and will have the right,
following review, to reclassify a flagrant foul or to classify as flagrant a foul not
called flagrant during a game.
B. In addition, the League Office maintains the right to impose a fine and/or suspension
upon any player who commits a flagrant foul at any time during the Regular Season
(regardless of whether the point levels described above are reached) or during an
Exhibition or Playoff Game.
C. The League Office will consider the following factors (as well as any other relevant
facts and circumstances) in determining whether to classify a foul as Flagrant “1” or
Flagrant “2”, to reclassify a flagrant foul, or to impose a fine and/or suspension on
the player involved: how hard the foul was; the outcome of the foul (e.g., whether it
led to an altercation); and the level of the injury sustained by the player who was
fouled.
III.
Discipline
A. Regular Season Flagrant Foul Guidelines – A player will receive one point for
Flagrant 1 fouls and two points for Flagrant 2 fouls. If the player’s season total
exceeds 5 points, he will receive an automatic suspension following the game in
which his point total exceeds 5 points and for each additional flagrant foul committed
during that season, as follows:
•
Player at 4 points commits a Flagrant 2 foul: automatic 1 game suspension
•
•
•
Player at 5 or 6 points commits a Flagrant 1 foul: automatic 1 game suspension
Player at 5 or 6 points commits a Flagrant 2 foul: automatic 2 game suspension
Player at 7 points or more commits a Flagrant 1 or 2 foul: automatic 2 game
suspension
