RULES & CONDUCT
World Series Code of Conduct:
Zero Tolerance
Head coach is responsible for: assistant coaches, players, and spectators.
1. If a spectator gets ejected from a game, the head coach goes as well.
2. If an assistant coach gets ejected, the head coach goes as well.
3. If a head coach gets ejected, player related to coach goes as well. If no relation, current pitcher is to go.
These rules are to make a better experience for all. Getting ejected from a Youth Sports Tournament is not teaching tomorrows leaders anything but bad behavior.
These rules can be altered by the director depending on the severity of the incident that resulted in ejection.
