ATTENTION GAME OFFICIAL: The CCS and NCS have high expectations of players, coaches and fans regarding sportsmanlike behavior. In order to monitor these expectations, we need your assistance. This form is REQUIRED to be completed and returned to your Commissioner of Officials in the event of any:

DISQUALIFICATION (game exclusion), PENALTY OR EJECTION for flagrant, unsportsmanlike conduct, bench fouls or other misconduct of a serious nature committed by anyone associated with a contest you officiate. It is our expectation that you will enforce all rules related to player and coach behavior. Players who's action requires the submission of an incident report are subject to suspensions in accordance with CCS and NCS policy. Therefore, the filing of this report within 24 hours is important.

This form is REQUIRED to be filed within 24 hours of any incident (such as described above as well as on page two of this form where you will find specific CCS or NCS by-law language) during any pre-season, league or CCS or NCS Playoff contest in which any CCS or NCS member school is participating. The MACPOLO Assignor shall forward this report electronically to the CCS and NCS Office as soon as possible after it has been submitted.

ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES must be reported on incident reports, but will not be submitted to CCS or NCS unless requested.

BYLAWS, SPORTSMANSHIP SECTION: PLAYERS EJECTED FROM CONTEST (a) In all contests prior to CCS or NCS Playoffs, any player ejected from a contest for unsportsmanlike behavior will be disqualified from participating for a minimum of one contest, with such disqualification taking effect at the team's next contest. If the contest from which the player was ejected is the last contest of the year for that team, the above-stated disqualification would carry over to that team's first (1st) regularly scheduled league contest the following year. Any such player who participates in the next contest following his/her ejection will be treated as an ineligible player for that contest. Any player may appeal the disqualification to his/her respective League. Each League shall establish appellate procedures pertaining to the eligibility of student-athletes who are ejected from an interscholastic contest. (b) Any player ejected from any CCS or NCS Play-off contest because of flagrant misconduct or unsportsmanlike behavior shall be excluded from participating in the remainder of the playoff contests in that sport during that season. Official(s) ejecting the player will automatically be required to submit a written report to the CCS or NCS Commissioner. Any school principal may appeal the disqualification to the CCS or NCS Commissioner if they believe that the student was ejected due to an error in identification or do not believe the student was ejected as a result of flagrant misconduct or unsportsmanlike behavior. The CCS or NCS Commissioner, in conjunction with the League Commissioner for that school, shall review the case and make a final determination.SECTION: COACHES EJECTED FROM CONTEST (a) In all contests prior to CCS or NCS Play-offs, any coach ejected from a contest for unsportsmanlike behavior will be disqualified from any coaching activities for a minimum of one contest, with such disqualification taking effect at the team's next contest. If the contest from which the coach was ejected is the last contest of the year for that team, the above-stated disqualification would carry over to that team's first (1st) regularly scheduled league contest the following year. Any such coach who engages in any coaching activity in the next contest following his/her ejection will be referred to his/her League for disciplinary action, and the contest in which his/her team competed will be subject to forfeiture. Any coach may appeal the disqualification to his/her respective League. Each League shall establish appellate procedures pertaining to coaches who are ejected from an interscholastic contest. (b) Any coach ejected from any CCS Play-off contest because of flagrant misconduct or unsportsmanlike behavior shall be excluded from participating in the remainder of the playoff contests in that sport during that season. Official(s) ejecting the coach will automatically be required to submit a written report to the CCS or NCS Commissioner. CIF BYLAW 522. PHYSICAL ASSAULT: Any student who physically assaults the person of a game or event official shall be banned from interscholastic athletics for the remainder of the student's eligibility. A game or event official is defined as a referee, umpire or any other official assigned to interpret or enforce rules of competition at an event or contest. A student may, after a lapse of 18 calendar months from the date of incident, apply for reinstatement of eligibility to the State Executive Director. INCIDENTS OCCURING IN VIOLATION OF THESE BYLAWS OR GENERALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS OF SPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR IN ANY CCS or NCS HIGH SCHOOL CONTEST (pre-season, scrimmage, league games, CCS or NCS Playoffs) MUST BE REPORTED AND SUBMITTED TO THE CCS or NCS IMMEDIATELY BY THE COMMISSIONER OF OFFICIALS!
