DISCIPLINARY PROTOCOL

DSC 1 INTRODUCTION DSC 1.1 The event should be enjoyed by all participants, as is reflected in the oath of the competitors and officials (as defined in PRO

1.1.9 and PRO 1.1.10) DSC 1.2 Both competitors and officials are seeking, at all EUSA events, to perform to the best of their ability and to respect others. This

document sets out some guidelines for athletes and for OC.

DSC 2 BREACHES OF DISCIPLINE DURING COMPETITION In most cases, match officials deal with disciplinary incidents on the field of play, within the rules as set out by the governing body for

that sport. The following sanctions may apply in EUSA events: DSC 2.1 In incidents where a player is dismissed from the field of play (in particular for violent conduct against an opposing player)

the player will miss the next match in the tournament, according to Technical Regulations and ESF/ISF regulations. In extreme circumstances, the SCAC may ban a player from the remainder of the competition.

DSC 2.2 Where a player exhibits violent or threatening conduct towards an official, it is likely that the player will be banned from the remainder of the competition, and from any future events. The SCAC will determine the degree of severity of the punishment, which will reflect the severity of the conduct.

DSC 2.3 Where a team exhibits violent or threatening behaviour towards officials or opposing teams, the SCAC may place a warning about its future conduct. Failure to exhibit good behaviour for all remaining matches may result in the team being banned from the remainder of the competition.

DSC 2.4 Where a team is banned from the competition for either persistent unacceptable behaviour on the field of play, or for extreme examples of violent or threatening behaviour, the delegation will be expected to leave the athlete accommodation site at the earliest possible opportunity, as agreed with the SCAC.

DSC 2.5 Where a team is banned from a competition for violent or threatening behaviour, a fine of minimum 300 EUR will be imposed by EUSA EC. That University may not participate in any future event until the fine has been received by the EUSA office. This punishment may also be imposed where the behaviour in the last match of a tournament falls below acceptable standards.

DSC 2.6 In cases of teams being banned from competition, the SCAC will submit a report to the EUSA EC who may, at their discretion, ban that University from all events for a period of minimum 1 year. In such circumstances a report will be submitted to the rec-tor of that University and to the NUSA setting out the reasons for the punishment.

DSC 2.7 In all cases, the EUSA EC reserves the right to give further consideration to all disciplinary issues and impose additional penalties if appropriate.

DSC 2.8 Any Participating team or competitor (in individual event), after being confirmed by the draw, shall participate in all scheduled matches. If the team or competitor misses any of the scheduled matches, they will be disqualified from the event and a fine of maximum 500 EUR will be imposed by the EUSA. That University (represented by the participating team or competitor) will not have the right to participate in EUSA events until the fine has been received by the EUSA. In addition, the SCAC will submit a report to the EUSA EC who may, at their discretion, ban that University from all EUSA events for a period of minimum 1 year. In such circumstances, a report will be submitted to the rector of that University and to the NUSA setting out the reasons for the ban.

DSC 3 BREACHES OF DISCIPLINE OUT OF COMPETITION It is hoped that competitors will be able to enjoy themselves while taking part in a EUSA competition. The Association is founded on

encouraging students from across Europe to get to know each other, develop a greater understanding of each other’s culture and to enjoy fair and competitive sport. For this reason, the OC organises a range of social opportunities for visiting sports people to fully enjoy the event. The following should act as a guide for teams:

DSC 3.1 Violence or threatening behaviour at event will not be accepted. Incidents where law enforcement agencies are involved may lead to athletes being banned from competition or asked to leave the accommodation site. Teams may be asked to leave if group behaviour falls below acceptable standards. In such examples a report will be considered by the EUSA EC who may ban an institution from subsequent EUSA events. A report will be submitted to the rector of that University and to the NUSA setting out the circumstances of the behaviour.

DSC 3.2 Where a University is involved in damage to property at a EUSA event, compensation for damage will be sought by the OC, with the support of EUSA and the NUSA. In extreme circumstances EUSA reserves the right to fine institutions or impose a ban from future events until the issue is resolved.

DSC 3.3 In circumstances where the supporters of a University are behaving in an unacceptable manner in the view of the OC, the OC may remove the supporters from all venues associated with the event. Where supporters refuse to leave or continue to behave in an unacceptable manner the OC may, in conjunction with the EUSA representative, remove the University from the remain-der of the competition. This matter will then be referred to the EUSA EC for consideration of further sanctions.

DSC 4 APPEAL DSC 4.1 Each year a report will be submitted to the EUSA EC, in order to monitor standards of behaviour and severity of sanctions. In

all circumstances, Universities on whom sanctions have been imposed may appeal to the EUSA EC. A fee of 300 EUR must be paid at the time of the appeal, which will be refunded if the appeal is successful. Any expenses relating to the appeal (such as attendance at the appeal by the appellant) will be covered by the University involved.
