Red Cards & Suspensions

• Red Card & Return To Play Processes:

  • A red card report will be submitted by the referee(s) after their shift and submitted to Soccer Spectrum.

    • Suspension periods and fines for Red Cards that are not escalated to NTX Soccer will be determined by Soccer Spectrum. The red card report and any relevant data relating to the ejection will be reviewed and a decision sent out to the offending player within 48 hours stating their suspension period and fine amount. Players receiving red cards over the weekend will be contacted the first following business day. 
      
      

    •  Referees reserve the right to escalate any red card to NTX Soccer at their discretion. Red cards escalated to NTX Soccer must be appealed and cleared through NTXSoccer.org via the suspensions & appeals process before a new ID card can be printed and the player returns to play at Soccer Spectrum 
      
      

    • Spectrum does not utilize VAR to overturn referee decisions. VAR is used at Soccer Spectrums discretion for security and safety measures only. 
      
      

  • A red card ends the offending players current and active NTX membership and a new card must be purchased after the suspension period is up and any relevant fines are paid. A player may not return to play until their suspension period has been fulfilled and any relevant fines paid. Red card suspensions and restrictions apply across all divisions, leagues, and days. Fines may be paid in person or over the phone at (972)-644-8845. 
    
    

  • Requests, complaints, information, and appeals relating to red cards may be sent to [e-mail]
