| − | When a rule is broken, the guilty player is given one or more '''“PP” (Punishment Points)'''. The punishing action that will be taken against that player depends on how many PPs he has accumulated.

| | | | |
| − | When some offenses are made at different times, the newer PPs are added to the older ones to determine the new punishment, even if the previous offenses already brought to action.
