WMG 2013 Code of Conduct


The WMG 2013 requires all players, coaches, officials, parents and spectators to abide by a

"Code of Conduct" that embodies basic common sense principles, demonstrates consideration of

others, and reflects well on the Games.

Individuals and/or teams participating in the Games, as well as members of their retinue, that fail

to abide by the Code of Conduct will be subject to ejection and disqualification from the Tourna-

ment in the future.

The directors of the Tournament reserve the right to report violations of the Code of Conduct to

the board of directors of relevant leagues and associations.

Coaches, Managers and Coordinators are ultimately responsible to ensure compliance with the

Code of Conduct during The Games and are expected to promote behaviour consistent with The

Games philosophy.

The Code of Conduct

Players, coaches, officials, parents and spectators are to conduct themselves in a manner that

"Honours the Games" demonstrates respect for others and is consistent with the business-like

operation of The Games for the benefit of everyone involved.

Sportsmanship and the concepts of fair and honourable play are essential to the overall success

of The Games.

The emphasis on winning should never be placed above the value of good sportsmanship, the

concepts of fair and honourable play, or the spirit of The Games.

Poor sportsmanship, taunting, trash talking, fighting or other unbecoming behaviour on the part of

players, coaches, parents or spectators will not be tolerated.

Unsportsmanlike conduct will result in a penalty, but officials are authorized to handle such con-

duct in their reasonable judgment based on the circumstances, including ending the game (which

will be treated as a forfeit by each team regardless of "who did what"). Poor sportsmanship may

also result in ejectment from the game or the facility.

1

12

WMG 2013 Code of Conduct


Only head coaches, managers or coordinators are permitted to address the officials; and are ex-

pected to do so in a courteous manner. Adults involved with the game are not permitted to openly

or maliciously criticize, badger, harass, or threaten an official. Derogatory comments are unac-

ceptable and subject to discipline, including ejectment.

Alcohol is not permitted at the WMG 2013 venues.

Officials are expected to conduct themselves as professionals and in a manner that demonstrates

courtesy and fairness to all parties while exercising their authority on the field.

Eligibility requirements, such as age and previous level of participation, must be followed. They

have been established to encourage and maximize participation, as well as promote safety. The

Games rely on the good faith of coaches, managers, coordinators and players as well as their

representations regarding age during the registration process.

We expect all coaches, managers and coordinators to understand the rules of the tournaments

and communicate them to members of the team and the team's entourage.

Head coaches, managers or coordinators may report any issues regarding officials and/or other

teams to field managers, Games directors or their representatives. We will use reasonable efforts

to address any concerns with such officials as appropriate in discretion.

Please be advised that WMG 2013 directors expect compliance with this Code of Conduct and

the "Honour the Game" philosophy to obviate the need for investigative activity or to adjudicate

disputes. Such activity represents a major distraction from efforts to oversee an enjoyable event

and a fun day of games for everyone.

WMG 2013 directors reserve the right to adopt and implement such other rules or regulations as it

determines are necessary or appropriate to further the goals and objectives of The Games.

Thank you for your help in promoting these principles and the "Honour the Games" philosophy.

WMG 2013 Charity Partners


WMG 2013 Charity Partners

WMG 2013 as part of its inclusive approach to the sports communities has selected two charities

- the Irish Cancer Society and the Irish Heart Foundation to be its official partners for The Games.

These charities will be involved in many aspects of The Games and with the many participants

and their families that visit our events.

All participants are encouraged to support the work of those charities. We would hope contacts

will be developed in the run up to The Games and participants and their families will seek to learn

more about the marvellous work the charities do.

There will be an opportunity for participants to make a voluntary donation to the charity funds at

certain locations.

Your support and contribution is very much appreciated by all involved with the WMG 2013 and

with the charities.
