SPORTSMANSHIP POLICY
Good sportsmanship and cooperation are both anticipated and expected. All team members are expected to aid in controlling teammates’ and team followers’ conduct. Poor sportsmanship could result in either a Technical, Intentional, or Flagrant foul against the team. Acts such as fighting, taunting, intimidating or verbally attacking a tournament official, player or spectator may lead to removal of that player, team and/or spectator from the tournament. Any ejection from the entire tournament will result in a suspension from the next year’s JamFest, at a minimum. Decisions made by tournament officials are final, and are not subject to review by video or other recordings, or other sources.
AUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT & APPAREL
No player shall be allowed to wear a guard, cast, hard brace or other potentially dangerous equipment on his or her elbow, hand, wrist, finger, or forearm, including equipment made of hard leather, plastic, plaster or metal - even if the equipment is covered with soft padding. Soft braces, sleeves and wraps will be allowed unless they pose a danger to other players. In addition, jewelry and hair clips will not be allowed. As always, JamFest retains the right to disallow any equipment or apparel that it judges to be dangerous or inappropriate.
CROWD CONTROL
The Team Captains are the only people, other than the Players, whom are permitted to address the Court Monitor. Any Fans or Parents whom negatively address a Court Monitor or any other tournament official shall be assessed a technical foul to their team.
ELIGIBILITY ISSUES
All high school and college players are encouraged to check with their coaches and/or athletic directors about participating in JamFest and the potential effects on their eligibility. JamFest is not responsible for determining a particular athlete’s eligibility under National Collegiate Athletic Association or applicable high school association rules.
