ARTICLE VII PROTESTS/RESOLUTION COMMITTEE

This section is designated to provide the members of the Moore League with a method to resolve grievances between Moore League members. Attempts to resolve grievances should first be made through direct communication between the schools involved. Whenever a school has a grievance regarding another school’s actions it is strongly suggested that multiple methods of contact be used. E-mail, telephonic, and letters are all possibly methods. However, E-mail provides verification of communication. The Moore League Secretary should be copied on all E-mails to maintain a permanent record.

1. The Moore League Resolution Committee is a standing committee comprised of three

(3) members. The school of the Moore League President, the school of the Moore League president-elect and the school of the Moore League Past President will each send one member to serve on the committee. The member must be a Principal, Assistant Principal, Athletic Director or Activities Director.

2. It is the function of the Resolution Committee to meet with the schools involved in the resolution, to allow each school to explain their position on the grievance, determine responsibilities, identify possible solutions, negotiate solutions between the schools involved and, when appropriate, dispense disciplinary action.

3. When the school involved in the resolution, either petitioner or respondent, is a member of the Resolution Committee, they will excuse themselves and be replaced on the committee, for this case only, by an alternate selected by the Moore League Secretary.

4. When both schools involved in the resolution are members of the Resolution Committee then they will excuse themselves and be replaced on the Resolution Committee, for this case only, by two alternatives from other Moore League schools. Each school involved in the resolution may select one alternate to serve on the Resolution Committee.

8

5. The Resolution Committee will meet to address a conflict, usually one hour prior to the regularly scheduled Moore League meeting. If either school is unable to attend at that time an alternate time will be arranged by the Secretary of the Moore League. If the petitioning school does not attend the Resolution Committee meeting, then it will be assumed that they are dismissing their grievance. If the responding school does not attend the resolution committee meeting, it is assumed that they are admitting to the grievance and will accept the decision by the Resolution Committee, although they retain the right to appeal to the entire Moore League as long as there are no time constraints.

6. If either school wishes to appeal the decisions by the Resolution Committee they may appeal it to the full body of the Moore League at the next regularly scheduled Moore League meeting.

7. When there is a time constraint involved there is no appeal and the disciplinary action taken by the Resolution Committee will stand. (i.e. no Moore League meeting is scheduled and it is not feasible to schedule a special Moore League meeting.)

8. When an appeal is taken to the Moore League, the appeal discussion will typically be allowed a maximum of 20 minutes. The time will be allocated in this order: 5 minutes Petitioning School 5 minutes Responding School 5 minutes Resolution Committee Findings 5 minutes Questions by League Schools

9. Each school will be allotted one vote on the appeal to uphold or to overturn the decision by the Resolution Committee.

10. Any school may bring an issue before the Resolution Committee by contacting the Moore League Secretary who will coordinate the committee.

11. The Moore League Secretary should keep a copy of all grievances sent to him/her to maintain an on-going record.

12. The Moore League Secretary may bring issues before the Resolution Committee when there are excessive grievances regarding a single school or when a complaint becomes continuous causing an ongoing concern.

13. Any action taken by the Resolution Committee will be reported at the next regularly scheduled Moore League meeting.

14. Possible disciplinary actions taken by the Resolution Committee imposed on a school

may include but not limited to: Financial responsibility for stadium rental, workers, referees,

transportation Playoff restrictions

9

Cancellation games Forfeiture of games Forfeiture of home games Forfeiture of future seasons Suspension from the League

It is understood that disciplinary actions taken by the Resolution Committee should be progressive in nature and that the disciplinary actions should match the severity of the offense. (5/03).

Sec. 1. A grievance shall be filed in writing by the Principal of the protesting school to

the President of the League no later than one week after the alleged cause of the grievance has been discovered.

Sec. 2. Before the filing of an official grievance, the Principal of the protesting school

shall notify the President of the League and the Principal of the other school or schools involved in the intention to register a grievance, along with a statement of the points upon which the protest is based.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENTS

Sec. 1. The Constitution of the League may be amended at any meeting by a two-thirds

(2/3) majority of the total voting membership provided notice of the proposed amendment has been sent to all members of the League two (2) weeks in advance.

Sec. 2. The Bylaws may be amended or added to by a simple majority vote at any

meeting providing the proposed change has been submitted to all members of the League in writing two (2) weeks in advance. (2/97)

(9/11) Sec. 1. The home team shall be responsible for reporting changes in league schedules to

Moore League Secretary. The athletic directors of the schools involved in the requested change must mutually agree to the change and notify the League. Secretary

In the event of inclement conditions, the officials of the home school are sole judges as the fitness of the field for play prior to the arrival of the game officials and must notify the traveling team as early as possible if the game is to be called off. The Athletic Director of the visiting school must be notified of any postponement by the end of the lunch for day contests and before 30 minutes prior to close of school for night contests. No game may be postponed after the dismissal of either school unless the grounds have been rendered unfit for play. After the contest has begun the head game official has the sole responsibility for determination of suitability of field conditions for play.

Sec. 2 Friday night League football contests may be scheduled as Saturday afternoon games by mutual agreement between schools involved.

Sec. 3. At all contests held inside of a gymnasium, the bleachers behind the team benches

should not be pulled out, and the area should be clear of all spectators. (The exception would be if the bleachers are needed, because of an overflow from the other side.) (9/99)

Sec. 4. The home school shall have at least one administrator or designee in charge of

supervising all Moore League contests being conducted on the home school site. Support personnel and faculty members may be used to assist in their obligation but are not to be used in lieu of an on-site administrator or designee. (6/95) Failure to comply with this provision will afford the coach of the visiting team the right to delay the start of the contest until such time as he/she is assured that adequate supervision has been provided. (Maximum time 20 min.) In the event that adequate supervision is not provided the visiting coach shall have the right to file a grievance as provided by Article VII, Section 1 and 2 of the Moore League Constitution.

Sec. 5. Adoption of League schedules constitutes a binding contract. Any member

school that is included in the master schedule for a given season of sport must field a team (the term “team” includes minimum number of athletes needed to constitute a team as defined in the National Federation rules) and complete the season in that sport or be subject to action by the League Resolution Committee.

20

a. Schools must make every effort prior to the preliminary scheduling

process to determine whether or not they will field teams in all sports for that season of sport and will designate at which levels they will participate. Timely entries to the Master Schedule are critical and as follows: Fall Sports submitted no later than Oct. 1. Once committed and included in the master schedule, schools have one week (7 days) after the official start of practice during each sport season, as defined by the CIF-SS to notify the League Secretary of any changes. Schools not meeting the above deadlines may be subject to League action that would prohibit home games for that school.

b. Schools fielding teams and not appearing for regularly scheduled contest

will:

1. Pay any and all expenses incurred by the other school, such as officials’ fees, stadium rentals, transportation, etc. (CIF-SS Bylaw 151.2). Payment shall be made by the final Moore League game of the sport involved.

2. Be not scheduled at the offended school the following season. The offending school shall pay officials’ fees for that “Home Game” on the road.

Sanctions could include disallowing the Varsity sport from entering CIF competition and/or preclude the offending team from league competition the following season (Team suspension). (5/03)

Sec. 6 The host school of any League event has the prerogative to establish the policies

pertaining to the conduct of the event when League Bylaws do not govern. (4/70)

period of twelve calendar months. If qualified, they may compete on a lower level of competition during subsequent seasons of sport, if a 214 has been granted.

Sec. 5A A student, permitted by the principal to return to the school compelling the

disciplinary transfer, may be granted unlimited athletic eligibility by the Moore League if the student did not participate in any athletic program at the transfer school; compete for the transfer school; and, at the time of the transfer, conditions for return were established by the school administration that include, but are not limited to:

22

A) Satisfactory attendance criteria B) Applicable behavior standards C) Academic performance standards; and

Principal’s approval of the return based upon documented evidence provided by the transfer school that the student satisfactorily complied with all conditions for return. (3/14)

Sec 6. A student who does not earn a C average shall become ineligible for the next grading

period. However, a student who does not earn a C average shall be given the opportunity to apply for a once per year Probationary Period for the succeeding grading period.

BYLAW ARTICLE – VII

SPORTMANSHIP (9/11)

Sec. 1. Officials are League representatives and their decisions are subject to the review

and criticism by the League only. Principals and coaches are responsible for seeing that officials are treated with courtesy by school officials, students and spectators. The home school shall provide a host to care for the needs of the officials. It will be the responsibility of each coach to see that no bench personnel commit actions that might be disrespectful or inciting to spectators.

There are many ways to get around the working of the ruling in strict interpretation; however, the intent of the rule was to develop a wholesome atmosphere and good sportsmanship. Players should not address any remarks or comments to their opponents; they may encourage, support or root for their own teammates as much as they like.

Sec. 2. League member schools shall be responsible for the conduct of their own spectators at all contests.

Sec. 3. No mechanical noisemakers, firecrackers, etc., shall be permitted in the stands,

gyms, or pools. Sec.4. It shall be the duty of the principals of member schools which violate any

regulation of the League or the CIF to immediately forfeit the contest, or contests, in which the violation(s) occurred. Notice of forfeiture(s) shall be sent in at once to the League President and League Secretary.

Sec. 5. There shall be no scouting of teams during practice sessions and/or scrimmages. Sec. 6. League member schools shall not at any time during the conduct of pre-league or

league competition, display signs or conduct spirit leaders (cheers and songs) designed to discredit or downgrade opponents. All song and spirit leaders activities are to be designed and organized to create an atmosphere of good sportsmanship. The spirit of this section is to be maintained throughout all scheduled pre-league and league competition. (10/94)

Sec. 7. No noisemakers (other than instruments used by the band) are permitted at any

pre-season, league or CIF contest. The band is allowed to play during time outs, before/after the contest, halftime or other breaks in competition.
