USASF Professional Responsibility Code 2017-2018 7.0 | Page 10

C. It is the obligation of the Event Producer to investigate and resolve to their best efforts any reports of infractions/violations. Failure to address
reported infractions at the event could result in noncompliance hearing for the Event Producer. It is also within the scope and jurisdiction for
the event producer to enforce coaches and program owner sportsmanship conduct outlined in this document, expectations when contesting
a rule or judging decision. All Event Producers must report any legality violations that resulted in disqualification via the USASF Regional
director within 72 hours of the event. It is the obligation of the Event Producer to notify the Disciplinary (via the Regional Director) if the
actions that resulted in the disqualification are so egregious that further disciplinary review is necessary. Additionally, for any member receiving
more than one disqualification per season, the USASF officials will implement disciplinary review hearing. In the case of a third disqualification
within the current season, the member will be placed on membership restriction until a formal review by the disciplinary committee takes
place. If the restriction is a result of repeated age violations the entire program will be suspended until the disciplinary committee reports their
findings. In the event the suspension is levied on an individual member the suspension would only apply to the member. Once a suspension is
issued by the USASF the disciplinary hearing has 60 days to issue a final decision.
D. Members will refrain from and prohibit the use or participation in pornographic material in conjunction with anything related to All Star Cheer
or Dance including social media.

the athlete to another program. Soliciting athletes for the purpose of recruiting them utilizing social media while at a USASF sanctioned event such
as texting, Facebook messages, or on any other social media outlet is prohibited. Handing out any type of advertisement, but not limited to
business cards, brochures, flyers on cars, T-shirts, banners, etc is prohibited.
