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: Direct Free Kick and minimum Yellow Card.
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 with a minimum of a League required Yellow Card or a Red card at the discretion of the Referee and a Direct Free-Kick for the opponent).
