4 Coaches Role The Coach is the Backbone of the Competition No team may compete in CyberPatriot until there is first a responsible adult willing to accept the following responsibilities. (1) Competitor Protection. The coach is responsible for the protection and safety of their team s competitors while involved in CyberPatriot activities. Access to minor students in a way that protects them, respects parental prerogatives, and follows legal statutes (e.g., Children's Internet Protection Act), is the coach s responsibility. As the gate keeper for contact with the competitors, the coach is accountable for the interaction of mentors or technical advisors to the competitors. (2) Competition Integrity. Ensuring the integrity of the competition is essential to the fairness of the competition. Once the competition begins, the coach must ensure that their competitors receive no assistance, except between competitors on the same team. The coach upholds the guiding and operating principles of the competition at the team level. (3) Official Point of Contact. The coach is the official point of contact for a team. Official CyberPatriot competition and other correspondence is provided to coaches for further dissemination to their teams. It is key during competition that coaches monitor their for up-to-date information that competitors will not receive directly. The role of official point of contact cannot be delegated to the mentor. (4) Abide by the CyberPatriot Coaches Agreement. 4
