CODE OF CONDUCT- Lastly, coach, we are relying on you to set a good example for your players and coaches to follow. Please be mindful that referees are people making judgment calls. They may make mistakes. Coaches do have the right to ask questions and make comments. Interaction between coaches and refs should be on a cordial, professional level. Please let your fans know that at no point are they allowed to come onto the playing surface to confront referees directly. Doing so will result in them being ejected without a refund. In the event that a fan or coach is asked to be removed, they must do so promptly (2 minutes). If the fan or coach refuses to leave, the game will be called at that point in favor of the other team, despite the score. NO FIGHTING will be tolerated. This can result in the game being called immediately and the players involved being removed from the remainder of the event. Fighting may also result in Law Enforcement on-site taking action. Excessive trash talk or taunting will not be tolerated. Cursing and Racial slurs will not be tolerated. These things will lead to immediate technical fouls.
