in the qualifying competition, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after two cautions in two different matches, as well as after the fourth and any subsequent caution;
-
in the final tournament, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after two cautions in two different matches.
Cautions expire on completion of the preliminary round, but pending yellow-card suspensions are carried forward to the main round.
Cautions expire on completion of the main round, but pending yellow-card suspensions are carried forward to the play-offs.
