~2017 Sooner Classic Championship ~ PROPER CONDUCT POLICY We have a very high standard of conduct at the Sooner Classic. The fact that you have been accepted to attend the Sooner Classic says that we feel you are a quality person, who will maintain a team that will be a role model for quality teams everywhere. Your conduct on the field, in the hotels and around the City of Tulsa will ensure that your team will be welcomed back to the Sooner Classic for many years to come. We must clearly define what we are looking for as Proper Conduct We will not tolerate intimidation of any form, either on the field or off. Trash talking or similar actions connected with your team will lead to penalties. Game officials are instructed to remove players from the game for 2 plays on a FIRST TIME OFFENSE for any form of physical or verbal intimidation and a 15 yard penalty will be marked off. Upon a SECOND TIME OFFENSE the player will be ejected from the game...no DEBATE...NO APPEALS...FINAL. You as Head Coach must also control your parents; they must know their actions in the stands will have an effect on their football team. If there is any single incident involving the parents/fans of your team, the Sooner Classic Marshall has the authority to stop the play of the game and your team will forfeit the game. This could cause not only the loss of a championship, but also future trips to the Sooner Classic. You as Head Coach must also conduct yourself on and off the field. If you have a problem with a game official, conduct yourself properly; you wouldn t want your team to finish the tournament without you. Sincerely, Mark Farquhar, President UYFA

SPECIAL RULES & REGULATIONS Sooner Classic is a 2 game guarantee Oklahoma Secondary School Rules along w/ INFC preferences Refer to www.soonerclassicfootball.com for complete rules When the players check in Friday night, a wristband will be placed on their wrist. You as Head Coach are responsible for your players keeping their wristbands on for the entire duration of the tournament. If one comes off keep it and notify a tournament official immediately. Losing a wristband is grounds for disqualification. This is a weighted tournament. Do not bring a player that is over the weight limit and expect them to play. The rules are set in place for the player s safety. Ring size has been added to the player registration form. You as Head Coach are responsible to make sure this is filled out. It s been proved too difficult to try to get players ring sizes after the championship games. Having this filled out in advance will ensure the rings are ordered immediately after the tournament. If ring size is missing, the player will receive the largest size available. If a size is ordered that is not available, we will order the next size available. Extra rings can be ordered for coaches and parents. We would need those sizes immediately following the game. The price for additional rings will be announced asap. I as head coach have read the above and agree to be responsible for my team.
