Arenas are our playing fields and are for competitors, officials, authorised Team Managers, handlers, and photographers.
- Do not approach any competitors or officials whilst they are within an Arena.
- Do not use inappropriate language or gestures.
- Do not tamper with or move signs, fences, or PA equipment.
- Authorised Team Managers are the only people to talk to Referees. Any protests must be made verbally to the Sectional Referee within 5 minutes and followed up in writing, on the appropriate form, within 15 minutes. Impolite protests or protests outside these timeframes will not be accepted.
- Event staff and/or a Referee may ask anyone, including authorised club personnel, to leave the Competition Arena. If you are asked to leave you must do so immediately.
Your inappropriate behaviour may result in penalties for your club and for those competing for your club.
