• first yellow card: minus 1 point;
• indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
• direct red card: minus 4 points;
• yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;

Only one of the above deductions were applied to a player in a single match.

Team	Match 1	Match 2	Match 3	Points
	2								1				−3
	1				4								−5
	2				2				1				−5
			1		5		1		3				−16
