Sportsmanship and Standards of Conduct: Each athletic director, superintendent, principal and coach whose school participates in a tournament is charged with the important role of teaching the highest principles and standards of general behavior. The school administrator should never overlook any opportunity to remind and emphasize tactfully the need and value of proper respect for their opponents regarding their organized cheering activities, the decision of set officials and the importance of desirable and proper conduct both at home and away. We are sure that you concur with the Board of Directors in its belief that considerable effort should be exerted by tournament directors to promote the highest principles of sportsmanship in tournament sets. You are urged to give the officials your utmost cooperation in helping them to keep rowdy and unsportsmanlike conduct entirely absent from the tournament. If there should be any patrons unwilling to accept the principles of good sportsmanship or are some who desire to view the game while under the influence of intoxicating beverages, you should see that those individuals are evicted from the field.
