13 EUC Disciplinary Protocol Disciplinary Protocol DSC 1 InTRoDUCTion DSC 1.1 The EUSA Championships should be enjoyed by all participants, as is reflected in the oath of the competitors and officials: On behalf of all students; I promise that we shall take part in this Championship, respecting the rules which govern it, in the true spirit of friendship, fair-play and sportsmanship, for the honour of our country and our University and for the progress of the European University Sports Movement. In the name of all the judges and officials, I promise that we shall officiate in this Championship with complete impartiality, respecting and abiding by the rules which govern it, in the true spirit of sportsmanship. DSC 2 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. However, circumstances have arisen in some EUSA events where individuals and teams have allowed their behaviour to fall below an acceptable standard. This document sets out some guidelines for athletes and for organising committees. 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. 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 EUSA 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 village 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 300 Euros will be imposed. That University may not participate in any future EUSA 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 Executive Committee of EUSA who may, at their discretion, ban that University from all EUSA competition for a period of 1 or 2 years. In such circumstances a report will be submitted to the rector of that University setting out the reasons for the punishment. DSC 2.7 In all cases, the Executive Committee reserves the right to give further consideration to all disciplinary issues and impose additional penalties if appropriate. EUC Disciplinary Protocol 11

14 EUC Disciplinary Protocol DSC 3 DSC 4 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, organising committees organise a range of social opportunities for visiting sports people to fully enjoy the championship. The following should act as a guide for teams: DSC 3.1 Violence or threatening behaviour at EUSA championships will not be accepted. Incidents where law enforcement agencies are involved may lead to athletes being banned from competition or asked to leave the village. Teams may be asked to leave if group behaviour falls below acceptable standards. In such examples a report will be considered by the Executive Committee of EUSA who may ban an institution from subsequent EUSA events. A report will be submitted to the rector of that University setting out the circumstances of the behaviour. DSC 3.2 Where a University is involved in damage to property at an EUSA event, compensation for damage will be sought by the organising committee, with the support of EUSA and the National Federation. 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 organising committee, 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 EC representative, remove the University from the remainder of the competition. This matter will then be referred to the Executive Committee for consideration of further sanctions. APPEAl DSC 4.1 Each year a report will be submitted to the Executive Committee, 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 Executive Committee, where a sub-group will be established to hear the appeal. A fee of 300 Euros 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. EUC Disciplinary Protocol 12
