ejection, the coach or player will be suspended for the
remainder of the season and will not be eligible for All
Stars.

areas adjacent to the field; bagging trash and setting it
out for disposal. Any coach
not performing these duties will be suspended for one (1)
game.

day(s). Any coach that does
not have the concession stand properly staffed on his/her
assigned day(s) will be suspended for one (1) game.

All
suspensions may be appealed to the Competition Committee.
To allow
time for fact-finding and consideration by the Competition
Committee, appeals must be directed to the Competition
Committee by the team’s Head Coach not less than two (2)
days before the coach or player’s next scheduled game.
If the coach or player’s next scheduled game is less
than two (2) days from date of suspension, the Competition
Committee must be notified by team’s Head Coach immediately
after the game in which the suspension occurred.
