Eastern Rockies Sideline Code of Conduct

Last Updated on Thursday, 28 January 2010 22:38

Statement of Policy

All Eastern Rockies Rugby Union (ERRFU) clubs, players, coaches, match officials, administrators, and supporters are considered to be ambassadors of the sport of rugby. As such, every club, player, coach, match official, administrator, and supporter in ERRFU is expected to behave with dignity at all rugby events. Rugby prides itself in following the spirit as well as the letter of the laws and of not tolerating any unsporting behavior of any kind. Clubs, players, coaches, match officials, administrators, and supporters should not tolerate antisocial or irresponsible behavior of any sort which would reflect negatively on the image of their club, Eastern Rockies RFU, USA Rugby, or the sport of Rugby in general.


Prohibited ConductExamples of conduct that would be considered in breach of the Code of Conduct are: use of rude, vulgar or obscene language or gestures, throwing objects onto the field of play or otherwise interfering with the progress of the match, destruction of property, refusing to remain behind five meter barriers surrounding the field of play, or unreasonable verbal harassment of players or officials. These types of conduct are not acceptable before, during, or after a match. Each club is responsible for the conduct of its supporters and may be penalized for the actions of those supporters.

Discipline ProcessThe referee(s) assigned to the match, any official of the participating clubs, or any official of the Eastern Rockies RFU may cite a club or specific individuals for violations of the Code of Conduct.
The violation must be reported to the Chair of the Eastern Rockies RFU Disciplinary Committee within 24 hours of the incident. The report must contain a description of the incident(s) or circumstances and include the date, venue, and the names of the individuals involved.

PenaltiesThe Eastern Rockies Discipline Committee will review the submitted report, gather additional information as necessary and will issue its findings with a reasonable time frame. Penalties resulting from a violation of the Code of Conduct  by a player and/or club may be financial and/or probationary. The range of penalties varies on the conduct involved and the number of times each has been involved in violations of this Code of Conduct. Penalties may also involve civil authorities, if appropriate. Appeals of decisions reached by the Discipline Committee will follow those procedures detailed in existing Discipline Procedures and Regulations.
