SUFFOLK & IPSWICH LEAGUE
Explanation as to how Sportsmanship marks are derived.
Marks are determined solely on disciplinary marks, each caution/dismissal or misconduct is given a tariff, this goes against the club and is divided by the number of games played by each club to give a total mark.
See below table of offences and tariffs awarded to each, the next column gives the rationale for the tariff.
| CODE | OFFENCE | TARIFF | REASONING |
| CI | Unsporting behaviour FA sub codes
AA – Adopting an aggressive attitude
|
5 | Easily committed, hence low tariff |
| C2 | C2 – (Sin Bin) – Shows dissent by word or action – Sin Bin
C2 – Shows dissent by word or action, (non-playing ) |
10 | Obviously dissent which needs to be
banished from the game |
| C3 | Persistently infringing the laws of the game | 5 | Basically, the same as C1 |
| C4 | Delays the restart of play | 5 | Simple offence |

| C7 | Deliberately leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission | 5 | Simple offence |
| S1 | Serious Foul Play | 15 | Out of control challenge |
| S2 | Violent Conduct | 20 | Usually, a premeditated action |
| S3 | Spitting at an opponent or official | 30 | Abhorrent behaviour and has no place anywhere on a football field |
| S4 | Denies The Opposing Team A Goal Or an Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity By Deliberately Handling The Ball | 10 | Minor cheating |
| S5 | Denies An Obvious Goal Scoring Opportunity To an Opponent Moving Towards the Player’s Goal By An Offence Punishable By A Free Kick Or Penalty Kick | 10 | As above |
| S6 | Uses Offensive or Insulting Or Abusive Language And/or Gestures | 30 | Action that needs eradicating from the game |
| S7 | Receiving A Second Caution In The Same Match | 10 | Self explanatory |
