A Team Misconduct Foul (TMF) can be assessed against a team for conduct that violates Spirit of the Game by any team member or spectators considered as partisans for the team.

The TMF can be assessed regardless of whether the infracted team makes any call, although teams are encouraged to make violation calls in order to directly communicate about issues and minimize the need for observers to issue TMFs without a call.

The first two TMFs issued to a team are warnings with no associated penalty.

A third or subsequent TMF for a team in a single game results in a Misconduct Penalty against that team.

There is no limit to the number of TMFs or Misconduct Penalties a team can accrue during a game.

TMFs do not carry over beyond the game in which they are issued.
