Code is a requirement for my participation in a USA Boxing event as an Official. An Official is defined

as a referee, judge, timekeeper, computer tech, clerk, or weight master. I also recognize that this Code

does not establish a complete set of rules that prescribes every aspect of appropriate/inappropriate

behavior.

1. I will act in a manner consistent with the spirit of fair play and responsible conduct. Neutrality is of the

utmost concern.

2. I will comply 100% with the neutrality rule and not officiate any bout that involves a participant from my

current or former Region(s). I must notify the Ring Captain of any conflict so that the next neutral

official can take my place. The only person that is authorized to make an exception, and only if there is

a shortage of officials, is the Ring Captain. [USA Boxing rule 107.4 (6) Conflict of Interest Rule]

3. I will remove myself from working a bout if I'm assigned to work a bout where a conflict exists such that

there is a bias or partiality to any of the participants, i.e., including, but not limited to being related to or

having worked in a coaching/training capacity with any of the participants. We MUST attempt to avoid

any situation where it might APPEAR that a boxer has an advantage by your involvement as an official

on that bout.

4. If I am related to a boxer or if there is a boxer to whom I am very close that is competing in this event I

must eliminate myself from officiating in this boxer's weight class.

5. I am here to work as an Official and only in the capacity of an Official. I will not work as a coach or as a

second for the duration of this tournament.

I acknowledge that my failure to comply with the Official's Code of Ethics set forth in this document by

USA Boxing may result in my immediate dismissal as an official from this event and that additional

disciplinary action may be applied against me for such inappropriate behavior.

I pledge to uphold the spirit of this Code, which offers a general guide to my conduct as a participant as an

official in this USA Boxing event.
