(ii) causing him/herself to become blinded as to the position of other players and/or

the umpire may (whether or not a warning has previously been given) remove the player from the Court and the player removed shall observe other players from the sideline for a period at the discretion of the umpire (the player may not enter the court again until after the second goal is scored). The umpire has absolute discretion to exercise this rule as many times as he/she deems necessary during the match.
