What happened: The policy All players enter the 2026 season with a clean slate, though violations will carry into later seasons.

Why it matters: Coaches must attend league meetings when a player approaches the suspension threshold, while clubs with excessive violations face increased fines. A player with only one violation will receive half of the fine back after the season.

By the numbers: The framework targets five foul categories and imposes a one-game suspension at three violations in a season.

What to watch: Enforcement and appeals will determine how consistently the new threshold affects player availability during the 2026 season.
