This section refers specifically to Professional Responsibility at USASF Sanctioned Events . It is important to note that items in other sections may also apply to actions at USASF Sanctioned Events .
ITEM 1 : Roster Omissions Omission of an athlete on the roster , intentional or accidental , constitutes non-compliance and will result in disqualification at a Sanctioned Event .
ITEM 2 : Roster Changes during the Sanctioned Event It is the responsibility of the All Star Program , via owner , coach or other personnel , to inform the Event Producer of any roster change ( s ) made after the event locks or after the team has checked-in AND prior to the team taking the floor . If an athlete that is not listed on the roster takes the floor , the team is considered to have competed out-of-compliance and will result in disqualification at a Sanctioned Event .
ITEM 3 : Right to initiate Disciplinary Review for Event Disqualifications Any member receiving more than one disqualification at a Sanctioned Event per season , is subject to a 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 .
