OBR 9.5.2-3 Par. 4. If a player or coach receives a post-game ejection they must proceed directly to the club house and are NOT allowed to observe any part of the remaining game. They are to be placed under strict observation for three hours and write three hundred times, "I will be nice to umpires." For failure to complete their assignment in the required time limit, they shall be sent home until the next game. If they should happen to pass "GO" they shall receive $200.
