- 1st Warning: NCGLL has issued an individual/team/program its first warning regarding its behavior or other issue.
- 2nd Warning: NCGLL has issued an individual/team/program its second warning regarding its behavior or other issue.
- Probation: NCGLL has issued a 2nd warning regarding: A) a repeated offense related to the 1st warning or B) for a separate unrelated issue. Program representatives will be required to meet with the NCGLL's Review Committee before being permitted to apply for membership the next year.
- Suspension: Programs that receive a 3rd warning of any kind during the course of the season will be allowed to honor the remainder of their schedules, so as not to penalize the other teams, however, they will be prohibited from participating in additional/special events throughout the year (i.e. All Star Game). Program representatives will be required to meet with the NCGLL’s Review Committee before being permitted to apply for membership the next year.
- Expulsion: After due consideration, and based upon repeated unacceptable actions/behavior, the NCGLL is given no other option but to expel all of the Program’s teams from the League for a minimum of one (1) year.
