the game is forfeited to the team with the surplus players 2-0 regardless of the final score.
2. There are no limits on the number of substitutions.
3. Substitution can only take place with the explicit permission of the referee.
4. Slide tackles are not permitted and can result in a foul against or even a yellow card at the discretion of the referee.
5. Sliding to retrieve or gain possession of the ball, even when there are no opposing players nearby, is not allowed. This rule does NOT apply to goalkeepers.

Yellow and Red Cards
1. At the referee's discretion, a player being shown a yellow card may also have to be substituted off for 10 minutes. The team plays with the same number of players.
