Coaches Only one (1) Board-approved coach for each squad will be credentialed. Advisory Schools not presently competing on an interscholastic basis, but entering individuals, are advised to read carefully the Procedures Coaches Appointed to Accompany Teams or Individuals to NJSIAA Championships in the NJSIAA Handbook. Tournament Directors will disqualify any contestant who is accompanied by someone in a coaching capacity who is not properly certified and appointed by the Board of Education. A properly appointed coach will thereafter be subject to the Rules and Regulation -- Rule 2, Section 11 Out-of-Season Practice. If a substitute coach is used, written authority from the school s Principal must be presented.

3 NJSIAA Fencing Tournament Regulations 1. A school which arrives after the close of check-in will be disqualified from the competition immediately, unless the Tournament Director has been notified. Fencing will begin within thirty (30) minutes of the close of check-in. 2. All bouts will be fenced with electrical equipment. Each men s team and each women s team must bring a complete set of working electrical scoring equipment, including a 50 extension multiple tap extension cord, weights, shims, and a stopwatch for each foil and epee squad. It is the responsibility of the team coach to obtain or borrow said equipment. All equipment must be clearly labeled with the school s name. Any school failing to provide functioning scoring equipment may be disqualified at the Tournament Director s discretion if the circumstances present a delay in conducting the tournament in a smooth and efficient manner. 3. The failure of a foil or epee squad to be able to provide the appropriate weight, shims, and stopwatch will result in a squad yellow card. Any subsequent issuing of a yellow card to an individual fencer will result in a red card against that fencer. 4. Each fencer must have at least two (2) working electrical weapons and two (2) working body cords with him/her at each bout. 5. Fencers should only fence in their pools (e.g. A strip, B strip, or C strip). No credit will be given for bouts fenced on the wrong strip. Fencing on the wrong strip will result in a 0-0 defeat for the offending fencer. Any subsequent violation will result in that squad s elimination from the tournament, and the subsequent loss of any win-loss records for both the squad and its individual members. The bout order will be fenced C-C, B-B, A-A. 6. Any number of substitutes may be used. Substitutions will be permitted at all levels. Substitutions must be reported directly on the strip. The substitute shall remain in the reported position until such change has been made. Substitutes and fencers may not change levels (i.e. strips) once they have competed on a given strip, but may re-enter. In the event of a fencer withdrawing because of a certified injury, the line-up may be changed by moving fencers to the next higher strip. This can only be done between relays, 7. All team and individuals entering a tournament must be accompanied by their coaches or certified faculty members from their schools who are directly responsible for them. Coaches must check-in their fencers and be present for the entire competition. 8.

Each school participating in a tournament will provide for the care and treatment of its athletes within the school s policy as in effect during the regular season. When games are scheduled at pre-determined sites, schools should not assume that the home school trainer will be available, and should therefore, prepare for the care of their athletes. NJSIAA may assign athletic trainers for state final events to assist with emergency situations. 2. The athletic emergency procedure of the host school will be in effect during the tournament which should include the establishment of a line of communication for emergent situations. NJSIAA Infectious Disease Policy The infectious Disease Policy provides that if an individual gets someone else s blood on his skin, protective gloves should be worn to wipe the blood off with a disposable towel using soap and water. Note: If any blood gets on an opponent s uniform during competition or a teammate s uniform during practice, it is not necessary to clean the uniform at that point unless the opponent or teammate has an open cut or un-skinned area, or the blood is on a part of the uniform which might come in contact with mucous 4

5 membranes. If the student-athlete does have an open cut or un-skinned area or believes the blood might come in contact with mucous membranes, then the uniform should be wiped with soap and water. NJSIAA Alcoholic Beverages and Illegal Substances Policy 1. Players and coaches involved with alcoholic beverages and/or illegal substances before, during, or after the game, at the game site or on school property, including chartered buses, shall be suspended from NJSIAA tournament play for one year and be denied any championship rights. 2. This action was taken in support of the fact that such actions concerning alcoholic beverages and illegal substances are in violation of New Jersey State statues. This Alcoholic Beverages and Illegal Substances Policy will be strictly enforced. NJSIAA Sales and Solicitations Policy 1. Only NJSIAA promotional items will be sold at NJSIAA sponsored events. For the season, T-Rific Tees is the designated vendor. 2. Solicitations, sale of publications or products, or similar activities are not permitted without prior authorization from the NJSIAA. 3.
