2011 Copa América disciplinary record

In the 2011 Copa América, the main disciplinary action taken against players came in the form of red and yellow cards. Any player picking up a red card was expelled from the pitch and automatically banned for his country's next match, whether via a straight red or second yellow. After a straight red card, FIFA would conduct a hearing and could extend this ban beyond one match. If the ban extended beyond the end of the finals (i.e. if a player was sent off in the match in which his team was eliminated), it had to be served in the team's next competitive international match(es).

Teams were given a certain number of points—15 in the first stage, 5 in the quarter-finals, and 10 points for the remaining four teams—from which points were deducted depending on the infraction. The team that advanced past the first stage with the most points was awarded the trophy. Teams that dropped below zero points were excluded from winning the award.http://www.conmebol.com/export/sites/conmebol/Docs/Copa_America_2011/fair_play_-_reglamento.pdf Copa América Argentina 2011: Trofeo Fair Play - Reglamento Copa América Argentina 2011: Fair Play Award - Regulations Spanish CONMEBOL 12 July 2011 InfractionPoints deducted Booking of a player (yellow card)1 point Expulsion of a player (red card)2 points Suspension per game1 point Delay of game at the start of restart of a match2 points Misconduct of the players and/or coaching staff1 point Recidivism of misconduct2 points Incomplete team1 point Abandonment of the gameExclusion OthersCase-by-case judgement The four semi-finalists (Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela) were the only teams considered for the Fair Play Award. After a post-match brawl in the semi-finals, Paraguay and Venezuela were excluded from winning the award. Peru and Uruguay finished the tournament with the same number of points. Since Uruguay had fewer players handed a red card during the tournament, they won the Fair Play Award.http://www.conmebol.com/copaamerica/El-Fair-Play-fue-tambien-para-la-Celeste-20110724-0008.html E-planning 2011-07-25 2011-09-09 https://web.archive.org/web/20110909062410/http://www.conmebol.com/copaamerica/El-Fair-Play-fue-tambien-para-la-Celeste-20110724-0008.html dead TeamIP Initial pointsD1 Day 1 deductionsD2 Day 2 deductionsD3 Day 3 deductionsQF Quarter-final deductionsSF Semi-final deductions3/F Third-place match or final match deductionsTotal PAR15−4−5−2+5−7+10XXN/A PER15−4−0−7+5−2+10−6−38 URU15−1−6−2+5−5+10−3−58 VEN15−5−0−2+5−5+10XXN/A References External links Disciplinary Record
