Regular Season Caution Accumulation
A player who accumulates five (5) yellow cards over the course of the MLS Regular Season shall be suspended from the next Regular Season game in which he is eligible to appear and fined $250.

League Fair Play Table

MLS Teams are assessed fair play points and ranked in the fair play table as follows:

• 4 points for each caution point received (e.g. 5 cautions = 20 points)
• 10 points for each red card earned (e.g. 5 red cards in a year = 50 points)
• .5 points for each foul committed (e.g. 400 fouls = 200 points)
• A reduction of 15 points for every game played by a team without their receiving either a yellow or red card, or a member of their team being a recipient of MLS Disciplinary Committee action in conjunction with that game (e.g. 3 "clean" games = -45 points).

The team with the least amount of points at the end of the regular season will be awarded the Kraft Team Fair Play Award.
