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 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 35-38),
supervision (pg 42) and basketball (pp 67-76).
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 28).
Grievance Commitee
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 2008/09 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.
