Spectator Code of Conduct

Spectators should:

-Consistently give positive feedback to players and others.
-Welcome opponents.
-Present positive comments before, during and after the game. Both student and adult spectators must demonstrate courtesy and good sportsmanship by positive cheers of encouragement for their team, not against the opposing team. This is evidenced by the absence of booing and vulgarities.
-Be helpful to others (i.e. willingly offer information about the game, score, scheduling, venue locations, etc. to onlookers)
-Spectators must also show proper acceptance of officials’ judgment.

Please note: Artificial noisemakers are not permitted during provincial championship tournaments/events. These noisemakers may include but are not limited to: air horns, cowbells, plastic tube horns, garbage can lids, etc. The provincial championship host shall have the authority to eject from the competition facility individuals who, following a warning, refuse to comply with this requirement.

Sportsmanship Pins

Sportsmanship is vitally important and highly valued by the ASAA. Therefore, pins will be handed out throughout the Championship to competitors, coaches, parents & spectators who exhibit outstanding displays of integrity, fair play, and good sportsmanship in their words & actions. The sportsmanship committee, consisting of the tournament chairpersons, the ASAA commissioner, the officials, and non-wrestling teachers/coaches, will decide who receives these pins.
