Law 12: Fouls and Misconduct
No changes except for: Slide-Tackling. CMASL is a Slide-Tackle Free League.
Therefore, ALL Slide-Tackles are Fouls.
The Penalty for an otherwise ‘IFAB legal’ Slide-Tackle: The player committing a Slide-Tackle is given a Yellow Card and an Indirect Free-kick is awarded to the opposing team. For a Slide-Tackle that would be a foul under IFAB Rules there are no changes to the IFAB Rule.
Further explanation of the Slide-Tackle rule for Referees:
A slide in itself is NOT a foul, a Sliding-Tackle IS. A Slide that is committed outside of any opponents ‘playing distance’ is NOT a Sliding-Tackle. Any Sliding-Tackle that would otherwise be considered ‘LEGAL’ under IFAB rules is penalized with a Mandatory Yellow Card and an Indirect Free-Kick. Any Sliding-Tackle that would be considered ‘ILLEGAL’ under IFAB rules shall be penalized as per IFAB rules (No card, Yellow Card or Red card all at the discretion of the Referee and a Direct Free-Kick for the opponent).
