Here's a little quote directly from the playoffs article over at www.mlsnet.com "Slightly different disciplinary rules also kick in upon the start of the MLS Cup Playoffs on Wednesday, Sept. 25. Any suspensions for yellow card points earned in a player's last regular season game will not carry over into the Playoffs or into the 2003 season. However, all red card suspension will carry over into the postseason. Also, any red card suspensions received during the postseason will follow a player (if applicable to a new team) into the next League season." So, Marco (and anyone else in yellow card point rouble) will be free and clear if he can avoid a red card and would be available for out first playoff game.
