Misconduct

In any of the following situations, the Tournament Manager may have to warn a team member that a disciplinary report may be issued:

• A team member behaves offensively towards any of the tournament organisation staff
• A team / team member breaches Terms of Participation, for example:
  • A team refuses to leave the dressing room at the time indicated in the run sheet
  • A team decides to change the arrival time at the stadium
  • Repeated breach of the Technical Zone rules
  • Repeated breach of the warm-up rules
  • A team has too many people in the team bench area and the extras refuse to leave
  • Repeated breach of the Terms of Participation media rules (pre or post-match activities)
  • A team does not attend a planned event without having informed the Tournament Manager.
  • A team refuses to wear the kit that has been assigned for the match.

• Based on the Terms of Participation, the Tournament Manager may have the authority to assign consequences to teams, or be required to report misconduct to the tournament host organisation. The list offers some examples of misconduct that might need to be addressed, and it is important to check the Terms Of Participation for each event for other expected behaviours.
