FIGHTING AND PLAYER/COACH/SPECTATOR MISCONDUCT ON COURT OR OFF COURT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AT ALL JAMBER BASKETBALL EVENTS. The court referee/officials have final say in all player fouls and or misconduct. Once a personal, intentional or technical foul is issued any further player misconduct could lead to an ejection and continued physical altercations after the whistle can be viewed as fighting. If the first action is deemed excessively violent any parties involved may be suspended. Fighting will be defined as any deliberate action taken by an individual to cause physical harm to another player, spectator, coach or official.
If a referee witnesses player(s) engaging in a fight, an immediate ejection can/will follow. An ejection carries a penalty of suspension for the players/parents/coaches involved for the remainder of the tournament. The suspended parties then cannot participate in any more games for the remainder of the weekend as a player, coach or spectator. With regards to the suspended individuals if a second instance of player misconduct follows anywhere inside an event facility, the tournament director has the authority to eject the whole team.
