CODE OF CONDUCT FOR TOURNAMENTS, CONTESTS AND EVENTS

Section 1. The KJCCC follows the same Code of Conduct as that of the NJCAA.

a. Violations of the Code of Conduct shall be referred to the commissioner for action.

b. Code of Conduct: The basic principles of the National Junior College Athletic Association stand for the highest ideals in sportsmanship. One of the primary objectives of competition is to develop and foster respect for fellow participants, coaches, officials and spectators. With this in mind, since it is fundamental to the continuance of the activities sponsored by the NJCAA that the rights of the majority shall not be jeopardized by the actions of a few, this Code of Conduct has been adopted.

(1) Basic responsibilities:

(a) Participants shall recognize their responsibility for proper conduct at any tournament, contest, or event sponsored by the NJCAA or by its member colleges.

(b) Coaches shall recognize and assume responsibility for the actions of themselves and their team members.

(c) The host for any activity sponsored by the NJCAA shall establish all procedures deemed necessary for the encouragement of proper conduct of the participants in the activity. This shall include publicizing the Code of Conduct in advance of the sponsored activity so that the responsibilities of each participant shall be clearly understood before the event begins. Each coach who has participants competing in the event shall be responsible for informing each member of the code.

(2) Regulations of conduct:

(a) Any participant who appears at any activity under the influence of alcohol/drugs shall be subject to disciplinary action by the officials sponsoring the activity.

(b) The responsibility for property damage shall be determined. Those responsible for such destruction shall be called to account for such actions and shall arrange for financial settlement to the party or parties concerned.

(c) Participants are obliged to show proper consideration for the rights and welfare of others.
