USSF is an affiliate of FIFA. If your State soccer association which issues you your player pass is a USSF affiliate, then you are bound by the game suspension rules. If you had to show your "card" to play, no matter where you played you acknowledged that you were bound by the affiliation to the State, USSF & FIFA.
r2c,
I continued to research this issue and found the following USSF document. It is quite clear on how the USSF wants this handled.

MEMORANDUM
To: State Associations
Professional Leagues
From: Alfred Kleinaitis
Manager of Referee Development and Education
Subject: Mandatory Suspension Following Dismissal
Date: October 22, 2002
FIFA Circular 821, dated October 1, 2002, reminds all national associations that any player dismissed from the field is to be
automatically suspended from the next match of the competition in which the player was dismissed.
This mandatory suspension is to be enforced for
all dismissals (red cards) regardless of the reason and will include send-offs for receiving a second yellow card as well as for actions leading directly to the dismissal. The duration of the suspension can be extended beyond one match by the competition authority.
All national associations are reminded in particular that they may not seek to avoid this binding instruction by passing "exceptional rules," i.e., a provision which creates any sort of exception.
The automatic one-match suspension may
only be waived if it is proven that the referee dismissed the wrong player in a case of mistaken identity.
In no case may the decision of the referee be modified after the game, as is clearly stated in Law 5 of
The Laws of the Game.

Thanks for the post NR. Even this memo is our federation's reminder to all USSF affiliates that FIFA has sent out a memo that reminders everybody that they are bound by FIFA's misconduct policy.

The loophole is; "from the next match of the competition in which the player was dismissed." When players are ejected in the final match of an invitational tournament, when do they serve their suspension? TN has taken the stance, for players holding a TSSA player card, that the suspension is served the next match that the team plays as long as the match was on the team's schedule BEFORE the ejection was earned.

True, and as you know most areas do not do it as TN has chosen. I can tell you that NV does not do it that way and our midwest friend "huh?" has stated that this is also not the way it is handled in his area.
However, to my knowledge CA comes darn close to the TN method, if not doing it the same way. They want a report from the event and the player pass taken and mailed to their state office, then a suspension is handed down.

I think that we can agree that any state association can be harsher than the minimum requirement, but also that any state which choses not to give a suspension for a red card earned in an event which ends is not in violation of the USSF/FIFA circular.
