Sportsmanship The ASAA, through the Tournament Committee, will significantly increase the awareness of and recognition of individual acts of sportsmanship demonstrated by tournament participants. A subcommittee 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 shortly after the tournament by the ASAA. 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 35-38), supervision (pg 46) and basketball (pp 73-83). 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 dishonour to the athlete, the team, the school or the ASAA will not be tolerated (pg 27). Grievance Committee There are two key functions of the Grievance/Discipline Committee at ASAA provincials. The first function is to deal with matters that occur during competition, typically discipline/conduct issues, and appeals that may arise from ejections. The second function is to handle any other matters that arise that require dispute resolution. 6
