| Should any officials have an incident involving the post game handshake, unsporting behavior by fans or game participants, or any compromise of their personal safety during or after an MIAA tournament game, please write a report of the incident. Reports should be written immediately after the incident by each official or the crew (all should sign a single common report). It is imperative that we document ALL incidents. The report should only include the facts of what happened and be void of opinions, beliefs, etc. Officials should provide a copy of their reports to the local board secretary, Mike Hammond and myself. Mike and I will see that the MIAA gets a copy and will also provide Peter Carroll copies prior to the 3/27 meeting with Jim Peters of MIAA. We are aware of several incidents in just the first three days of the tournament and have received reports. Please share these instructions with the officials on your board. Thank you.

To simplify the search, enter only the school’s name: for example “Milford” and then select the appropriate school for the list. |
