Sportsmanship
The ASAA, through the tournament committee, wants to significantly increase the awareness of and
recognition of individual acts of sportsmanship demonstrated by tournament participants, with a
sportsmanship pin. A sub-committee of five people will attempt to “cover” as many games/sites as
possible and will be making presentations to deserving individuals at the conclusion of that game. The
traditional Team Sportsmanship Award will be recognized in the weeks shortly after the tournament and
sent out from the ASAA office.
Rules/Policy
It is incumbent upon all coaches and participants to be aware of ASAA policy as identified in the ASAA
Handbook. Specifically for this event, these policies include player eligibility (pp 37-38), supervision (pg
51) and basketball (pp 79-89).
Discipline and Misconduct
Breaches of the ASAA Code of Ethics are treated seriously and, as hosts, we are required to immediately
report to the ASAA office any breaches that come to our attention. A portion of the ASAA Code of Ethics
states “Any conduct, including, but not limited to ejections, fighting and drugs and alcohol use, that
results in dishonor to the athlete, the team, the school or the ASAA will not be tolerated” (pg 29).
Grievance Committee
All ASAA provincial championship hosts will convene a discipline/appeal committee. The committee will
have the authority to address issues of a serious nature that may occur before, during or after a
provincial championship match, or to hear appeals of the automatic suspension resulting from an ejection
(see ASAA 2014/2015 Policy Handbook). The committee may include, but not be limited to, the
tournament chairperson, an official and two coaches not in conflict with the issue. Coaches wishing to
volunteer may do so at the coach’s meeting.
