USSSA United States Specialty Sports Association Excelling in Multi-Sports Programs   RULES OF CONDUCT   It is the purpose of the United States Specialty Sports Association to conduct the best possible Tournaments from all aspects. To Achieve this objective the USSSA must have the cooperation of each player, manager, coach and sponsor.   We are guests in the city that the tournament is conducted, and nothing should occur that would reflect adversely on your team, players, our host city, or the United States Specialty Sports Association. Therefore, it is required that all teams in the tournament comply with the following rules: Team managers must have full control of their players at all times. The means on and off the field, course, or court. In case of disputed play or decision, team managers or captains may consult with the game officials. The other players and coaches or sponsors are to be kept out of the discussion. Managers, coaches, and players are not to fraternize with spectators while participating in an event. At no time will any participants be allowed to smoke while participating in any USSSA event. At no time will participants be allowed to drink or have in their possession any alcoholic beverage while participating in any USSSA event. Managers are to report any unsportsmanlike or derogatory acts by players or spectators to the tournament director. The purpose here is to prevent any serious situation developing that would be harmful to the tournament. Managers, coaches, players, sponsors, and teams are liable for suspension by not adhering to the tournament rules in effect. This could mean suspension for a game, games, tournament or a longer duration depending on the act or violation. A player, coach, manager, or sponsor, may be suspended for fighting, abusive tactics, or unbecoming acts that are detrimental and not in the best interest of the United States Specialty Sports Association and tournament play. Be careful of your conduct. Be sure that no action occurs that could reflect adversely on your sponsor, team, or division. Remember that the wrong actions of even one player can reflect upon your entire team and the various sporting programs.
