An appropriate shirt is to be determined as per local school policy. Also, there shall be no body paint. Face paint is allowed.
SPORTSMANSHIP
The following statement shall appear in regional and state tournament programs:
Good sportsmanship is conduct which imposes a type of self-control involving honest rivalry, courteous relations and graceful acceptance of results. School spirit is a reflection of those attitudes and behavior. Spectator etiquette requires that we refrain from displaying any action to taunt opponent’s fan section such as carrying flags around the court and stopping to taunt the opponent’s fan section. This may lead to competition among observers which is mistakenly under the guise of good sportsmanship. Spectators are asked to remain in their designated fan section. Approaching the opponent’s fan section for the purpose of taunting and baiting will not be tolerated. Also, carrying of flags around the court will NOT be allowed! The use of profanity at ANY TIME will NOT be tolerated.
Good sportsmanship shall be defined as those qualities of behavior which are characterized by respect and genuine concern for others. Awareness is expected concerning the impact of an individual’s influence on the behavior of others. Good sportsmanship is viewed as a concrete measure of the understanding and commitment to fair play, ethical behavior and integrity.
NOISEMAKERS & CONFETTI
The Board of Directors has banned the use of artificial noisemakers at all indoor Association sponsored tournaments, including horns, bells, clapboards and drums used for such purposes. Confetti has also been banned because of the potential fire hazard and excessive clean-up work involved between sessions. Tournament managers are instructed to confiscate such articles at the door.
TEAM ALLOWANCE

Team payments will be distributed at the end of the school year.
HOUSING
State Tournament managers will make motel arrangements for the out-of-town schools.
