The GAA has announced that yellow cards incurred under the experimental new rules will not have effect the disciplinary records of players outside the competition in which the cautions were awarded.
Yellow cards, therefore, issued during the January provincial competitions will not carry over to the national leagues, while cautions in the latter will not effect players in the Championships.
A GAA statement added: “This only applies to Category 1 (yellow card) infractions and … penalties incurred for red card offences will apply across relevant competitions.”
