Did you know that you can appeal red cards?
If you received a red card during a game and disagree with the charge, you can request a hearing
The accused shall submit a written request to the League within 3 days of receiving a dismissal.
୭ Within 48 hours contact the league in which you got the Red Card to find out "why" you were dismissed. They will inform you if the Dismissal has been passed on to the District. Note that Dismissals will be passed on to the District if the incident was directed at a Game Official or involves registration issues. If it has been sent to the District contact the District to find out why you were dismissed.
୭ Once verifying why you were dismissed, you may disagree with the charge and can at that time request a hearing. Requesting a hearing is done by submitting a Request in writing which can be sent to the EODSA office by Express Post or registered mail, or can be hand delivered to the EODSA Office. It must be traceable. The Request should be accompanied by the $100.00 request for hearing fee.
୭ If you discover that you agree with the dismissal and the referee report then you will be accepting the mandatory penalty as outlined in the Ontario Soccer Rules and Regulations. At this time there is nothing you need to do except wait to find out what games you are suspended for.
