Coincidental Penalties Outcome To correctly apply the rules in basic coincidental penalty situations. Coincidental Penalties for Intermediate Referees

A coincidental penalty situation occurs when a MINOR / BENCH MINOR or a MAJOR / MATCH penalty is assessed to BOTH TEAMS at the SAME STOPPAGE of play. Coincidental Penalties for Intermediate Referees

Coincidental Penalty Situations 13:00 A4 = Minor (2) B7 = Minor (2) 12:00 A6 = Minor (2) B9 = Bench Minor (2) 11:00 A8 = Major (5) B3 = Major (5) 10:00 A2 = Match (5) B5 = Major (5) Coincidental Penalties for Intermediate Referees

Important Note #1 Rule 4.2(c) When a player is assessed both a Minor penalty and a Major penalty at the same time, the Major is served first. Example: 12:00 A4: 5 + 2 Coincidental Penalties for Intermediate Referees

Important Note #2 Rule 4.12(e) When a Minor penalty and a Major penalty are assessed at the same time against two different players of the same team, the Referee is to report the Minor as being the first penalty assessed. 12:00 A4: 2 12:00 A6: 5 Coincidental Penalties for Intermediate Referees
