SECTION VIII PLAYOFF POLICY

The following formula will be used to establish the number of teams that would qualify for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) “post-season play” based upon the total number of teams in each classification. The same formula will be used by sports that do not use classifications. The purpose

of this is to create an equitable and fair number of teams that make the playoffs for each classification. *1 team - Class Representative for Section VIII to New York State Regional

games

2 teams - 2 team bracket **3 or 4 teams - 3 or 4 team brackets

5 – 8 teams - 4 team bracket 9 – 12 teams - 6 team bracket

13 – 16 teams - 8 team bracket

17 – 24 teams - 12 team bracket

25 – 32 teams - 16 team bracket 33 – 36 teams - 18 team bracket

37 – 40 teams - 20 team bracket

This would allow for a minimum of 50% of the teams/schools that offer a specific varsity sport to qualify for post season play.

Match Protocol

A. Home team supplies the practice volleyballs for both teams. Minimum of 10 will be needed for each team. If you cannot supply that amount, please phone the opposing school so they can bring their own.

B. Provide a proper warm up area.

C. The home school is responsible for providing a certified or competent score keeper and a Libero tracker.

D. Line judges should be trained and ready for the match.

E. Have someone welcome the visiting team upon entry to your "home".

F. Show them where the restroom facilities are and give them one-half of the volleyball court.

G. Game time is the actual scheduled match play time (as it has always been). Officials will call for captains 15

minutes prior to scheduled game time and begin the formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up.

If a team does not arrive in time to accommodate a 20 minute warm-up prior to their formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up, they will receive 10 minutes prior to the formal pre-game warm-up.

For the match immediately following (whether it be varsity or JV), the visiting team is entitled to 20 minutes prior to their formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up if they so desire. However, if a team is not there in time for their allotted 20 minutes, they come under the time constraints elaborated above – receiving no more than 10 minutes prior to the formal 12 minute pre-game warm-up.

Tie breaking Procedure for Playoffs Girls Volleyball

1st tie breaker: Head to head competition. For example: If team “A” beats team “B” in five games and Team “B” wins in four games, team ”B” gets the play-off spot. 2nd tie breaker: The number of wins against the teams who finished ahead in the conference.

3rd tie breaker: Number of league matches won against play-off teams in your classification, one at a time beginning with the number one seed. For example: If one of the tied teams beat the top seed in four games and the other team beat that same team in five games, the team that won in four would get the play-off spot.

4th tie breaker: Total number of sets lost against play-off teams, one at a time beginning with the

number one seed. 5th Tie Breaker: The committee will flip a coin if it is for seed position only.

In the event of a three way tie: The total number of sets won and lost between the three tied teams will be used.

6th tie breaker: A “PLAY IN” Match will take place. It will be played at the school that was originally seeded higher by the volleyball committee. This will only occur if it is for a playoff position and all others means of breaking the tie have been exhausted.

Responsibilities and Guidelines for

Athletes and Coaches Participating in

Regional and Championship Contests

39

Introduction Any New York State Championship must achieve a standard of Excellence which places it beyond criticism either

from an organizational or educational point of view. In essence, each championship represents all of New York

scholastic sports and if, for any reason, something disrupts a championship, then the impact of such disruption

will be felt by the NYSPHSAA, Inc. and its member schools. What appears at present to pose the greatest threat

is the misbehavior of athletes or the lack of supervision responsibilities by coaches while attending such

championships.

Code of Conduct for Athletes I. Use of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and other drugs (unless prescribed by a physician)

will not be tolerated.

2. All curfews and bed checks will be adhered to as set up by the supervisor or coach in charge.

transporting vehicles, field and courts, locker rooms, etc. Athletes or the school that they represent will

be held financially responsible for any damage that they incur.

occupying of each room and again before check-out.

5. Athletes must use transportation authorized by their section and school to and from the event.

6. There will be no gambling of any kind.

General Guidelines

I. Athletes should stay in groups when traveling or sightseeing. DO NOT TRAVEL ALONE or leave the

group.

2. Athletes should make sure the supervisor/coach knows where they are, who is with them, and when they will

return when leaving the general area of the contest.

3. Dress for all trips should be neat, clean and socially acceptable. Athletes are representing their Section as

well as their own school district. All actions reflect on these institutions.

Violation· Penalties If an athlete violates an established rule, the coach or supervisor in charge has the responsibility of disciplining

the athlete using the following guidelines:

I. If the violation is prior to the contest or event, the athlete will not be allowed to compete in the contest or

further contests. The Section and home school will be notified and a recommendation from the Section for

disciplinary action will be given.

2. If the violation is after the contest or event, the home school will be notified and a

recommendation from the Section for disciplinary action will be given.

3. If a situation becomes intolerable, the parents and school will be notified immediately and arrangements

will be made to transport the athlete home, at Section/school expense, and in

the custody of a Section/school representative. If proper action is not taken by the home school, sanctions may

be imposed by the Section and/or State Association against the athlete or school district.

I have read and understand the Code of Conduct.

Such instruction and practice shall be held only during the season designated for that sport.

Athletes who switch from one sport to another sport are permitted to count conditioning practices toward their new sport as follows (excluding bowling, golf, and rifle): 1. Sports with less than ten (10) practices for the individual before the first contest will be allowed to carryover three (3) days. 2. Sports with ten to fifteen (10-15) practices for the individual before the first contest will be allowed to carry over four (4) days.

SPORTSMANSHIP: The Association recognizes and appreciates that the influence and responsibility of the school administration with regard to good sportsmanship extends to all levels of competition. However, it must also be seen that the NYSPHSAA has been vested with the responsibility to ensure that all contests under its jurisdiction are conducted satisfactorily. This standard applies to all regular season and post schedule play. As of July 1, 2013, the Dignity for All Students Act (Dignity Act-Section 52.2, Part 80 and 57-4) is to provide all public school students with an environment free from harassment, bullying (including cyber bullying) and discrimination, as well as to foster civility in public schools. The Dignity Act focuses on the prevention of discrimination behaviors, including harassment/bullying through the promotion of educational measures meant to positively impact school culture and climate, which includes the interscholastic programs.

SECTION VIII SPORTSMANSHIP POLICY The NYSPHSAA and Section VIII recognizes and appreciates that the influence and responsibility of the school administration with regard to good sportsmanship extends to all levels of competition. However, it must also be seen that the NYSPHSAA and Section VIII has been vested with the responsibility to ensure that all contests under its jurisdiction are conducted satisfactorily. This standard applies to all regular season and post season play. As of July 1, 2013, the Dignity for All Students Act (Dignity Act-Section 52.2, Part 80 and 57-4) is to provide all public school students with an environment free from harassment, bullying (including cyber bullying) and discrimination, as well as to foster civility in public schools. The Dignity Act focuses on the prevention of discrimination behaviors, including harassment/bullying through the promotion of educational measures meant to positively impact school culture and climate, which includes the interscholastic programs. The High School Athletic Association of Section VIII established the Sportsmanship Committee as a sub-committee of the Athletic Council to address incidents of unsportsmanlike conduct and flagrant misconduct. The purpose of the Sportsmanship Committee is to take proactive measures in an effort to minimize inappropriate behavior at all Section VIII events and to promote positive sporting behavior throughout the county.

A. What is to be reported:

1. A Player who is ejected from a contest for flagrant misconduct and/or unsportsmanlike conduct.

2. A Spectator who acts in a disruptive abusive or inappropriate manner. 3. A Coach who conducts himself/herself in an inappropriate or unsportsmanlike manner. 4. An Official who demonstrates unsportsmanlike conduct or inappropriate behavior

unbecoming of a sport official. 5. A School that permits spectators to conduct themselves in an abusive, disruptive or

harassing manner. This also includes schools that do not provide adequate supervision at home or away contests to control their spectators.

B. Responsibility for reporting:

1. Coaches must report all incidents to their respective athletic directors, even if only one player/team was cited for misconduct.

2. Athletic Directors must file reports with the Office of the Executive Director within 24 hours of any disqualification, ejection or incident of unsportsmanlike behavior.

3. Officials must file reports with the Office of the Executive Director within 24 hours of any disqualification, ejection or incident of unsportsmanlike behavior.

C. Reporting Procedure:

1. All unsportsmanlike incidents are to be reported by the coach (or by both coaches) to their respective athletic directors immediately following the contest.

2. The Athletic Directors of both schools involved are to file reports with the office of the Executive Director as soon as possible, but no later than the morning following the contest/incident (or the next school day).

3. The Officials assigned to the contest are to file a report with the Office of the Executive Director as soon as possible, but no later than the morning following the contest/incident (or the next school day).

4. The Office of the Executive Director will forward copies of all reports to the Sportsmanship Committee Chairperson, Sport Coordinator and the appropriate VP of Male/Female Sports.

D. Committee Actions: 1. All member schools including individuals representing member schools who are involved in unsportsmanlike

conduct are subject to consequences deemed appropriate by the Sportsmanship Committee. a) The Sportsmanship Committee may recommend action in instances of unsportsmanlike conduct and is

authorized to recommend consequences which may include, but are not limited to: Censure, Reprimand, Suspension, Loss of Eligibility, or any other actions that are deemed appropriate by the Sportsmanship Committee.

2. All recommendations of the Sportsmanship Committee will be filed with the Office of the Executive Director and forwarded to the Athletic Director(s) of the school(s) involved.

49

3. All actions of the Sportsmanship Committee are subject to review by the respective Athletic Director(s). Schools may impose additional consequences.

4. Copies of all reports of the Sportsmanship Committee shall be kept on file with the Sportsmanship Chairperson, the Executive Director and the Sports Coordinator.

E. Penalties:

1. Player Expulsion: Any player who commits a serious violation of game rules or takes part in flagrant misconduct during play shall be subject to ejection from the contest and disciplinary action. Ejection from a contest results in mandatory one (1) game suspension from the next regularly scheduled contest, including post-season play. Disqualifications from one season will carry over to the player’s next season of participation. Any player suspended from participation may not be on site or involved in any capacity (spectator, timekeeper, scorekeeper, etc.) on the day of suspension. Failure to comply will result in additional sanctions being levied against the individual, coach and/or team.

2. Second Occurrence of Misconduct: In the same sport – NYSPHSAA requires a two game suspension for the second (2

nd) ejection and a third (3

rd) ejection

in the same sport will result in the loss of the season. Any person (coach, player, spectator, school official, etc.) who is ejected from a second contest in the same sport for unsportsmanlike conduct shall require the Sportsmanship Committee to review the matter. This may lead to more severe disciplinary action including suspension for the remainder of the season. Such disciplinary action could carry over into subsequent sports seasons. Additional consequences may also be recommended by the Sportsmanship Committee.

3. Intentional Physical Contact by a Player: Any member of the squad who strikes, shoves, kicks or makes other physical contact with the intend to annoy, harass or intimidate an official, another player, a spectator, coach, school district employee or supervisor, etc. shall be expelled from the game immediately and banned from further participation in all sports for a period of time to be determined by the Section not to exceed one year from the date of the offense. NOTE: Members of the squad include players, managers, score keepers, timers, and statisticians. The incident must be reported to the Office of the Executive Director who will in turn forward to the Sportsmanship Committee and respective Sports Coordinator. Consequences may include but are not limited to: Censure, Reprimand, Suspension, Loss of Eligibility, or another action that is deemed appropriate by the committee.

4. Team Members/Non Participant/Pre-or Post-Game Misconduct: Any act of unsportsmanlike/flagrant misconduct by either a team member, non- participant before or after (pre and post-game) will be excluded from play in and/or subject to removal from the site of the contest. Any player, coach or spectator who commits a serious violation of the sportsmanship rules or takes part in flagrant misconduct as a non-participant after the contest has concluded (post-game) will be suspended from participation in or attendance at the next regularly scheduled contest including the post-season.

5. Spectators: Any spectator who acts in a disruptive, abusive or unsportsmanlike manner may cause the game to be suspended or the spectator removed from the site. A letter from the Sportsmanship Committee may be sent to the appropriate Athletic Director(s), Building Principal(s) and Superintendent(s). Continued incidents of disruptive behavior may result in additional disciplinary action by the Sportsmanship Committee.

6. Coaches: Any coach excluded by a certified official from an interschool competition for unsportsmanlike conduct, including taunting, is ineligible to coach any interschool competition in that sport until after the next previously scheduled contest at the same level (e.g. junior varsity, varsity, etc.) has been completed. In individual sports a multi-day contest is considered to be a contest. Disqualification from one season carries over to the next season of participation. The coach may not be present at the game site nor communicate in any manner during the contest with any person present at the site. NOTE: "Not being physically present at the site" means a 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. Any coach that does not serve the penalty for violating the Sportsmanship Standard will be ineligible to participate in the next two regularly scheduled contests. If the coach continues to not serve the penalty, the matter will be referred to the Section for further action. If the coach is involved in the NYSPHSAA play-offs, the matter will be referred to the Executive Director of the NYSPHSAA.

7. Intentional Physical Contact: A coach who strikes, shoves, kick or makes other physical contact with the intent to annoy, harass or intimidate another person (e.g. official, another coach, player, fan) shall be expelled immediately and banned from further participation or

50

coaching in all sports for a period of time to be determined by the section not to exceed one year from the date of the offense.

8. Officials: An official who demonstrates inappropriate or unsportsmanlike conduct will be reported to the Sportsmanship Committee. The Sportsmanship Committee may recommend disciplinary action to be taken against the official by the official’s organization.

9. Taunting: Taunting includes, but is not limited to, any actions or comments by coaches, players, or spectators which are intended to bait, anger, embarrass, ridicule or demean other players, coaches, or game officials. Included in this is conduct that berates, needles, intimidates, or threatens based on gender, ethnic origin or background and conduct that attacks religious beliefs, size, economic status, speech, family special needs, or personal matters. Examples of taunting that would lead to ejection include, but are not limited to, physical and verbal intimidation outside the spirit of the game (“trash talking’), reference to sexual orientation, “in-the-face confrontation” by one player to another, standing over, straddling a tackled or fallen player, etc.

10. Bench Clearing: If an altercation occurs during a contest and members of either team leave their respective bench or sideline area or playing positions, and go onto the playing field/court participation area, they will be immediately ejected from the contest for unsportsmanlike behavior.

F. Due Process: 1. Students, coaches and schools have the right to be heard by the Sportsmanship Committee. However, appeals will only be held in regard to a misapplication of the sport rules and/or an ejection of a misidentified player. This right must be claimed within 24 hours of the incident occurring and must be made to the Office of the Executive Director of Section VIII. All actions of the Sportsmanship Committee may be appealed by a member school. Any such appeal will be heard by the Section VIII Athletic Council. Approved - September 2016
