I find it very poor of ASA to not have this rule. Very silly.

It's a rule of equity. Simple as that.

Huh? Oh, a legal term.

Getting back to useful questions.

1) Is the ejection immediate? IOW, no further action by that player counts?

2) What is the difference between malicious and flagrant? NFHS defines malicious as "excesive force". ASA does not define either.
Malicious in a dictionary means "having or showing a desire to cause harm to another person".

If this is a hijack, tell me and I'll repost separately.
