A.10 - Spectator Conduct
In the event of disruptive or threatening
behavior on the part of any spectator, relative, parent, guardian, or
coach at any USAR sanctioned event, the referee is empowered to address
a first offense by enforcing sanction #1 detailed below. For additional
infractions, the tournament director, or USAR official in attendance,
either of their own accord or at the request of the referee, is
empowered to enforce sanctions #2 and #3 as warranted.
- For the first offense: violator may watch, but not speak, while the athlete’s match is being played.
- For the second offense: violator may not watch the athlete’s match, but may remain within the building.
- For the third offense: violator will be
removed from the club for the duration of the tournament, and pertinent
authorities advised of the restriction. If a given situation so
warrants, the tournament director or USAR official may invoke this
sanction immediately and without previous offenses - in the interest of
safety.
