USASF Professional Responsibility Code 2019-2020 9.0 | Page 39

By associating one or more team rosters to a USASF sanctioned event
and by attending said event, you accept the terms and conditions of
event compliance. You agree to abide by and uphold the standards of
compliance. Furthermore, you understand that failure to do so may
result in disqualification at the event and further disciplinary action by
the USASF.
The rosters you provide to the event producer, electronically and in
print, become the official record for your program at this event. It is
your obligation to ensure that the information included on each roster is
accurate. This includes, but is not limited to, the name, date of birth and
age for all athletes.
Providing a USASF Official roster that contains inaccurate, false or
fraudulent information is a violation of the Professional Responsibility
Code. All members are subject to disciplinary action for not adhering
to the age grid and/or not providing an accurate USASF Official Roster.
Omission of athlete information, intentional or accidental, constitutes
non-compliance.
Compliance statements of understanding:
I understand that:
1. Providing a USASF Official roster that contains inaccurate,
false or fraudulent information is a violation of the Professional
Responsibility Code and subject to Disciplinary Action.
2. All Program Owners and all members listed on any USASF
Compliance Cover Sheet and Official Roster(s) are subject to
disciplinary action for not adhering to the age grid and/or not
providing an accurate USASF Official Roster.
3. Any athlete that performs or competes at a USASF Sanctioned event
that is not listed on the roster or is not a member of the USASF may
also face future ineligibility status.
4. Athletes who perform at USASF Sanctioned events but are not listed
on the roster are considered ineligible athletes. Teams that perform
with ineligible athletes are subject to disqualification in addition to
disciplinary sanctions.
5. It is my responsibility to monitor and enforce the USASF Sanctioned
Event warm-up room requirements within our program for owners,
coaches, personnel and athletes. Failure to do so will result in
disciplinary sanctions.
6. Accuracy of the age displayed in the member profile is ultimately the
responsibility of the program. Regardless of who enters the athlete
information or uploads proof of age documentation, the program
representative must verify the information provided is true and
correct. Investigation of age eligibility will be handled on site at
the event. Failure to upload documentation prior to the event may
result in disqualification and further disciplinary sanctions.
7. It is my responsibility to report any change to an Official USASF
Roster after the event begins to the event producer prior to the
team taking the floor. This typically applies to replacements
or substitutions because of injury or a no-show. Regardless of
the reason for the change to the roster, it must be reported and
documented.
8. Teams from our program must compete in the correct Division (DI
or DII) when a split occurs. Furthermore, if any one of our teams
compete in a DI event or split when we qualify for DII, regardless
of our official “opt-in” status in our USASF Member Profile, our
program will no longer be eligible for DII status for the remainder
of the season. (Exceptions apply to World Bid events that are
associated to a DII only event.)
9. The program I represent and its affiliated members, including
owners, coaches, athletes and personnel must adhere to the:
a. Professional Responsibility Code
b. Athletic Performance Standards
c. Sportsmanship Code of Conduct
10. Disciplinary penalties may include fines, suspension and/or
revocation of membership.
I certify that the information listed on any and all rosters associated to
this USASF Sanctioned Event is in full compliance. It reflects the proper
division and all athlete profiles indicate their correct date of birth, correct
gender and meet the requirements for the current season USASF age grid.
