    SECTION IX VOLLEYBALL COMMITTEE SECTION 9 CHAIRPERSON AND MHAL REPRESENTATIVE MATCH VS TOURNAMENT (approved at July 2016 CC meeting) Approved in Girls Volleyball the following definition of a match so there is clarification between a match and tournament: A match should consist of sets in a best of 3 of 5 format, all 25 point games. Dual and tri matches are consistent with the definition of a match. A tournament is 4 or more teams that participate in a pool play and bracket format is not a match. A bracket can consist of best 2 of 3 or single set rounds. Scoring options are starting at 0-0 or 4-4 going until 25 points or a cap.

The coach may not be present at the game site. NOTE: “Not being physically present at the site” means the disqualified coach is not to be present in the locker room, on the sidelines, in the stands or site area before, during or after the game/meet.

    1. A coach who strikes, shoves, kicks or makes other physical contact with the intent to do so to another person (e.g.

    2. Respect the game officials and refrain from questioning their decisions in a

    disrespectful or abusive manner. No negative comments in media. 3. Ensure that all facility rules and regulations are followed by the players,

    coaches and spectators, respecting at all times the property of others. 4. Assist the game officials in maintaining control of spectators during the

    games when necessary.

    5. Respect the coaches and players of the opposing team and demonstrate appropriate gestures of sportsmanship during the play of the game and at its conclusion. Be humble and generous in victory. Be proud and courteous in defeat. Teach each player, especially through personal example, to be humble and generous in victory and proud and courteous in defeat.

    6. Maintain emotional and physical control, avoiding the use of abusive

    7. Instruct team support personnel (e.g., assistant coaches, managers,

    scorebook keepers, and timekeepers) in their responsibilities in accordance with established rules and procedures.

    8. Realize, accept, and practice the principle that a team’s reputation is built

    not only on its playing ability, but also on its sportsmanship, courtesy and conduct.

    NYSPHSAA GUIDELINES FOR EMERGENCY CANCELLATION & DECLARED EMERGENCIES

    EMERGENCY CANCELLATION -Cancellation of school(s) or cancellation of an interscholastic athletic contest(s): If an event is postponed, it will be rescheduled at a date and time mutually agreed upon by both school districts according to the policies of the league, and/or conference and/or Section. If there is a dispute on a rescheduled date or time, the league president (if there is one) or Section Executive Director, in accordance with Section policy, will make the final determination. If a contest cannot be rescheduled, the contest will be declared as a “no contest”. Therefore, no win or loss will be recorded on the team’s season record. Sections will adjust the seeding procedure to ensure no negative impact will be imposed in the seeding procedure. DECLARED EMERGENCY POLICY - In the event an emergency is declared by a BOCES or governmental agency at the local, state and/or national level the NYSPHSAA policy will be: LOCAL and COUNTY (included in this category are league, conference, Section, BOCES, etc) o If a local emergency is declared, schools will be expected to adhere to the constraints placed on the local school districts. In the event the postponement of scheduled interscholastic contests is required, the rescheduling of these contests will be determined by the league, conference or section policies. STATE - If a state emergency is declared, all schools/school districts will determine whether they should postpone scheduled contests. o If a school/school district determines it is in its community’s best interest to postpone a scheduled contest, that is a decision that rests with the Chief School Officer of both schools after consulting with each other. Nevertheless, if one Chief School Officer decides it is in the best interests of his/her school not to play, the contest will be postponed and rescheduled when and if possible. o If an interscholastic athletic event is postponed, it will be rescheduled at a date and time mutually agreed upon by both school districts according to the policies of the league, and/or conference and/or Section. If there is a dispute on a rescheduled date or time, the league president (if there is one) or Section Executive Director in accordance with Section policy will make the final determination. o If a contest cannot be rescheduled, the contest will be declared as a “no contest”. Therefore, no win or loss will be recorded on the team’s season record. Sections will adjust the seeding procedure to ensure no negative impact will be imposed in the seeding procedure. o The NYSPHSAA will follow all appropriate directives and will determine whether interscholastic athletic competition will continue for its member schools. NATIONAL - If a national emergency is declared, the NYSPHSAA will follow all appropriate directives and will determine whether interscholastic athletic competition will continue for its member schools. o Sectional Championships - If a declared emergency is called during sectional events, the Section will make the determination whether to continue play after consulting with all appropriate health, NYSED and governmental agencies. o NYSPHSAA Championship - If a declared emergency is called during NYSPHSAA events, the NYSPHSAA will make the determination whether to continue play after consulting with appropriate health, NYSED and governmental agencies. Please note: Member schools should go to the NYSPHSAA web site (www.nysphsaa.org) or your Section web site for specific directions and instructions.
