Andy,
Does this mean if a team earns a second yellow card, they're disqualified?
If these cards are being done "soccer style", I'd like to propose a soccer style ammendment. During the World Cup and other two stage FIFA competitions, a player's yellow cards carry on throughout each phase of the competition. This means that if a player picks up a yellow in game one, and as well in game two, he is disqualified for game three. However these cards do not carry over to the second round of competition.
When it comes to the elimination rounds, an entire alliance could be disqualified for a yellow card earned by a single team in a qualification round match. That's why I propose that a team only be allowed 1 yellow card for each round of competition (qualfication and elimination).
Since the referees still have the discretion to award a red card at any point, I don't see this as a huge restriction. Any team who tries to take advantage of the fact that the cards have been reset, could easily be assessed a red card. I'd just hate to see a second offense, which only warrants a warning, be the demise of an entire alliance.
