Unsportsmanlike Conduct

[sixofdiamonds]

Players, managers, coaches, and spectators are expected to conduct themselves in a sportsmanlike fashion at all times. Any player, manager or coach who conducts themselves in an unsportsmanlike manner before, during, or after a game will be ejected from the game and/or the grounds and receive a mandatory 1-game suspension. Belligerent behavior will be subject to additional game suspensions from the game umpire and/or the league office which may include an indefinite league ban. Any spectator affiliated with a Softball America team who conducts themselves in an unsportsmanlike manner will be asked to get themselves under immediate control and/or leave the ball field grounds. If said individual fails to maintain control or leave the grounds, the team will be warned to get that spectator to comply or the umpire will walk off the field, call the police if need be, and declare a forfeit on the team that is affiliated with the offending individual. Any individual or team that repeatedly violates league behavioral protocol will be instructed to play their softball elsewhere.
