STANDARDS OF PLAY

      

             

The Nike Harvest Cup has established a committee to handle all disciplinary matters pertaining to this tournament. The following is a brief outline of what will be expected of all players and coaches who participate in this year's tournament. If you need any assistance, contact the Venue Captain at your field. If you don't receive a satisfactory response, please contact the tournament director.

1. All players and coaches will be expected to demonstrate the highest standard of sportsmanship throughout the tournament.

2. Any player given a red card or any coach/administrator ejected from a game, will not be permitted to participate in the remainder of the game in progress. The Disciplinary Committee will decide if there will be any additional game suspensions. The committee will have complete authority to decide, after the initial game, the number of games a player or coach will be suspended for each red card offense. A referee report (written or verbal) will be used whenever possible to help determine final outcome. These judgments will be made after reviewing the severity of the offense for which the red card was given and the decision will be final.

3. One point will be deducted for each red card or coach/adminsitrator ejection received. A team may be assessed negative points for a game if appropriate.

4. All coaches are responsible for the conduct of their players, parents, and friends while the team is at the tournament both on and off the field.

5. No alcoholic beverages or smoking shall be permitted in the immediate vicinity of the playing site. No person shall be permitted to appear on, or in the vicinity of, the playing site in an intoxicated condition. Breaking the law is under the jurisdiction of the Irvine Police Department and UC-Irvine Campus Police, not the tournament management team.

All red card ejections and other disciplinary actions involving players, coaches, spectators or team will be reported to the appropriate state association(s).
