Blue card
The blue card is a disciplinary card in various sports with very different meanings.
Bandy
The blue card is used in the Bandy to indicate a time penalty. The player who receives the blue card must leave the field for 10 minutes. During the time penalty, he must stay at the penalty box, which is near the center line, and wait for his penalty time to expire.
Handball
The blue card in handball was introduced by the IHF with the rule change on July 1, 2016. It signals a disqualification with a written report as a penalty for serious fouls (e.g. assault) or grossly unsporting offenses (e.g. insults). Before the introduction of the blue card, this penalty was displayed like the usual disqualification with the red card . Verbal information to the team officials was necessary: This often led to confusion, especially in the audience. After the rule change, the red card will continue to be shown to the guilty player; then the blue card is displayed at the referee in the direction of the player's bank to inform everyone about the additional report. In contrast to the red card, a blue card initiates disciplinary proceedings.
Youth football
The blue card is used especially in Austrian youth football to indicate a time penalty . It is used instead of the yellow card , as the warning is given orally in Austrian youth football . The referee shows the blue card because of a violation of the game rules and unsportsmanlike behavior. The player has to leave the field for five or ten minutes, depending on the age group.
Each player can only be given a time penalty once, a second blue card is shown in connection with a red card (blue-red card) and leads to permanent exclusion from the game. There is no further penalty that affects an upcoming game, for example.
The Blue Card is also used for football in the Vatican City , friendship tournaments and especially in recreational sports.
Roller hockey
A blue card means a time penalty in roller hockey . It will be shown in the event of serious fouls by the goalkeeper, a player or the head coach by the main referee. This is a personal punishment. If the goalkeeper or a player receives a blue card, he must sit down on one of the chairs set up between his team bench and the timekeeping table and fully serve his time penalty. At the same time, the team has to play less with one man (“power play”). If the same player receives another blue card, he has to serve another two minutes from that point in addition to his time penalty. He can then be put back into the reserve bench and then put back into play, unless it was his third blue card. If a goal is scored against the team that has been punished with a power play, the team may complement each other with another player on the field of play. If the coach receives a blue card, his team must take down a player and play undernumbered for two minutes. However, since the coach is not excluded in time and there is no penalty for the player, the player is allowed to sit on the reserve bench and does not have to take a seat at the timekeeper's table. He can also switch with another player at any time. If a goal falls against the team, the shortage is over. A team must have three players on the field. If a time penalty has been imposed and there are only two players left on the field, the team must bring a player from the reserve bench onto the field. If there are no more players, the game will be stopped prematurely by the referees.
If the goalkeeper, player or head coach receives the blue card three times, that person will be excluded from the rest of the game. The main referees also show the person concerned the red card. The person must leave the field and the surrounding area.
Quidditch
In the event of a formal rule break. If a player receives a blue card, he must be in the penalty box for one minute.
During this time, the respective team has one less active player on the field. He may either leave the penalty box as soon as the minute of playing time has passed or as soon as the opposing team has scored. When leaving the penalty box, the player is deemed to have dismounted from the broom and must carry out the knockout procedure "Back to hoops".
The player has to go back to his own rings and touch either the rings or the bars on which they stand. It is important that the person uses his or her body to touch it and not just the broomstick or the like. Once the knockout procedure has been completed, they can participate in the game again.
Blue cards do not stack with other cards. In the case of a blue card, the ball in question is always handed over (quaffle or bludger) if the fouling player was in possession of the ball.
