    MATCH VS TOURNAMENT (approved at July 2016 CC meeting)

    Approved in Girls Volleyball the following definition of a match so there is clarification between a match

    and tournament:

    A match should consist of sets in a best of 3 of 5 format, all 25 point games. Dual and tri matches are

    consistent with the definition of a match.

    A tournament is 4 or more teams that participate in a pool play and bracket format is not a match. A

    bracket can consist of best 2 of 3 or single set rounds. Scoring options are starting at 0-0 or 4-4 going

    until 25 points or a cap.

    SECTION IX BY LAWS Unsportsmanlike Conduct Rule

    Revised by Section IX Sportsmanship: The NYSPHSAA and Section IX recognizes and appreciates that the influence and responsibility of the

    school administration with regard to good sportsmanship extends to all levels of competition. However, it must also be

    seen that the NYSPHSAA AND Section IX has been vested with the responsibility to ensure that all contests under its

    jurisdiction are conducted satisfactorily. This standard applies to all regular season and post schedule play.

    I. Coach:

    Any coach excluded by a certified official from an interschool competition for unsportsmanlike conduct is ineligible to coach any interschool competition in that sport until after the next previously scheduled contest at the same level

    (e.g. junior varsity, varsity, etc.) has been completed. The coach may not be present at the game site. NOTE: “Not

    being physically present at the site” means the disqualified coach is not to be present in the locker room, on the

    sidelines, in the stands or site area before, during or after the game/meet.

    1. A coach who strikes, shoves, kicks or makes other physical contact with the intent to do so to another person (e.g. official, another coach, player, fan) shall be expelled immediately and banned from further participation or coaching

    in all sports for one year from the date of the offense.

    1. The coach of the player(s) who was ejected will notify his/her Athletic Director of the incident on the same day that it occurred. The Athletic Director will then contact the League Coordinator to confirm that the player(s) will not be

    allowed to participate in the school’s next scheduled game/games as above.

    II. Player:

    1. Any member of a squad ruled out of a contest for unsportsmanlike conduct or for a flagrant foul will have the following occur:

    A. First Ejection – that player(s) cannot attend or participate in the next scheduled contest in that sport. If the season has

    ended the player(s) cannot attend or participate in the next scheduled contest in his/her next season of participation.

    B. Second Ejection – that player(s) cannot attend or participate in the next two scheduled contests in that sport. If the

    season has ended the player(s) cannot attend or participate in the next two scheduled contests in his/her next season of

    participation.

    C. Third Ejection – that player(s) cannot attend or participate in any remaining scheduled contests for the remainder of

    that sports season. If the season has ended the player(s) cannot attend or participate in the next three scheduled contests in

    his/her next season of participation.

    Please note: Disqualified from one season carry over to the next season of participation. Section IX By Laws

    1. Any member of the squad who strikes, shoves, kicks or makes other physical contact with the intent to do so to an official shall be expelled from the game immediately and banned from further participation in all sports for one year

    from the date of the offense. NOTE: “Member of the squad” includes player, manager, scorekeeper, timers,

    statisticians.

    III. Official:

    1. Unprofessional conduct on the part of official such as, but not limited to, taunting, baiting, use of profanity, shall be reported by a school administrator from the aggrieved school to the Section Executive Director. A request will be

    made to the appropriate sport officials’ chapter to investigate the incident and to report their action to the Section in a

    timely manner.

    1. The official who ejected the player(s) or coach shall notify the League Coordinator prior to 12:00 Noon the following day of the name(s) of the player(s) or the coach and the infraction(s). The League Coordinator shall notify the Athletic

    Director of the offending school.

    Section IX Coaches Code of Conduct

    In order to ensure that the principles of sportsmanship, fair play, skill

    development, and mutual respect among players, coaches, officials and spectators

    are the primary considerations governing competition in Section IX, the following

    Code of Conduct has been established and adopted.

    Each coach shall:

    1. Know the rules and abide by them. Instruct team members in the rules

    and coach his team in such a way as to motivate each player to compete

    according to the rules at all times.

    2. Respect the game officials and refrain from questioning their decisions in a

    disrespectful or abusive manner. No negative comments in media.

    3. Ensure that all facility rules and regulations are followed by the players,

    coaches and spectators, respecting at all times the property of others.

    4. Assist the game officials in maintaining control of spectators during the

    games when necessary.

    5. Respect the coaches and players of the opposing team and demonstrate

    appropriate gestures of sportsmanship during the play of the game and at

    its conclusion. Be humble and generous in victory. Be proud and courteous

    in defeat. Teach each player, especially through personal example, to be

    humble and generous in victory and proud and courteous in defeat.

    6. Maintain emotional and physical control, avoiding the use of abusive

    language or profanity, humiliating remarks, gestures of ill temper, and

    physical assault upon another individual.

    7. Instruct team support personnel (e.g., assistant coaches, managers,

    scorebook keepers, and timekeepers) in their responsibilities in accordance

    with established rules and procedures.

    8. Realize, accept, and practice the principle that a team’s reputation is built

    not only on its playing ability, but also on its sportsmanship, courtesy and

    conduct.

    NYSPHSAA GUIDELINES FOR EMERGENCY CANCELLATION & DECLARED EMERGENCIES

    EMERGENCY CANCELLATION ‐Cancellation of school(s) or cancellation of an interscholastic athletic contest(s): If an event is postponed, it will be rescheduled at a date and time mutually agreed upon by both school districts according to the policies of the league, and/or conference and/or Section. If there is a dispute on a rescheduled date or time, the league president (if there is one) or Section Executive Director, in accordance with Section policy, will make the final determination. If a contest cannot be rescheduled, the contest will be declared as a “no contest”. Therefore, no win or loss will be recorded on the team’s season record. Sections will adjust the seeding procedure to ensure no negative impact will be imposed in the seeding procedure. DECLARED EMERGENCY POLICY ‐ In the event an emergency is declared by a BOCES or governmental agency at the local, state and/or national level the NYSPHSAA policy will be: LOCAL and COUNTY (included in this category are league, conference, Section, BOCES, etc) o If a local emergency is declared, schools will be expected to adhere to the constraints placed on the local school districts. In the event the postponement of scheduled interscholastic contests is required, the rescheduling of these contests will be determined by the league, conference or section policies. STATE ‐ If a state emergency is declared, all schools/school districts will determine whether they should postpone scheduled contests. o If a school/school district determines it is in its community’s best interest to postpone a scheduled contest, that is a decision that rests with the Chief School Officer of both schools after consulting with each other. Nevertheless, if one Chief School Officer decides it is in the best interests of his/her school not to play, the contest will be postponed and rescheduled when and if possible. o If an interscholastic athletic event is postponed, it will be rescheduled at a date and time mutually agreed upon by both school districts according to the policies of the league, and/or conference and/or Section. If there is a dispute on a rescheduled date or time, the league president (if there is one) or Section Executive Director in accordance with Section policy will make the final determination.

    o If a contest cannot be rescheduled, the contest will be declared as a “no contest”. Therefore, no win or loss will be recorded on the team’s season record. Sections will adjust the seeding procedure to ensure no negative impact will be imposed in the seeding procedure.
