PRACTICE AT
CHAMPIONSHIP SITE(S):
| No arrangements for practice at competition sites are
allowed by the CCS once the site of the Tournament has been announced by CCS.
See "General Tournament Information"
Section of the CCS Tournament Guide for specific policy. Schools found in violation
of this rule may be barred from further participation in the Section Play-offs. |
|
RAIN-OUT PROCEDURES:
- CCS has the final
responsibility for determining whether a match will be played. If a CCS staff member
is not on site, the Site Director will telephone the
CCS office. The decision will be based on the field conditions and the safety of the players. If the field
is safe to use, the game will be played unless the authorities with whom arrangements were made to use the field make a
decision to the contrary.
- If at all possible, the decision to re-schedule a
match will be made within two hours of the scheduled starting time of the match. If re-scheduled, the
match will be played the following day (unless this falls on a Sunday). The rain-out procedure for
completing the Tournament is to play day-by-day, with the exception of
Sundays.

participating in the CCS Tournament to review
CCS Sportsmanship Information.
- Coaches and Captains will meet
with the Site Director 30 minutes prior to game-time to remind them of the importance of good sportsmanship and to make
certain their Administrator has reviewed this information with them in the past week.
- Administrators from both schools in each
contest will attend a mandatory meeting with the Site Director 15 minutes prior to game time.
- The coach cannot
represent the school at this meeting.
- Any player or coach who is ejected from a CCS Tournament
contest for FLAGRANT MISCONDUCT or UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR will be disqualified from all
remaining contests in that sport that season.

IMPORTANT
NOTICE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AND COACHES:
| The CIF-Central Coast Section is well aware that
many other school and non-school activities (AP tests, SAT/ACT tests, proms, plays,
holidays, senior trips, religious days, etc.) may occur during CCS Play-offs. The
CCS tries to avoid as many conflicts as possible; however, with so many activities
available for today's student-athlete, it is not reasonable to assume that all such
activities can be taken into account, and thus, CCS Play-off events will go on as
originally scheduled. Participants and coaches are therefore expected to plan in
advance for such possible scheduling conflicts and make those difficult choices as to
which events will take precedence for that individual. Generally, although it is
ultimately the personal choice of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s), an
academic activity should take precedence over an extra-curricular event. |
