**  Permanent Penalty (10 games or more becomes permanent penalty)

 

NOTES:  Overall, not a bad season at all for penaltys, partially because of several manager changes.  The new managers must keep in mind the overusage situations of their teams for next season, as they will be there to monitor everything for the whole year.  See Constitution for further explanation on overusage penaltys.

 

Best,
