Code of Conduct[/size]
[size=+1]Sportsmanship & Disruption to the competition[/size]
This is perhaps the most important section of the rules and all forummers are asked to read this section carefully.
[size=-1]In basic terms, participants are asked not to bring any discussion into the Forum Sevens which may disrupt the Forum Sevens.
The Forum Sevens promotes 'cross-fan' participation and sportsmanship. That is, to encourage fans from opposing bases of opinion to join forces and leave their differences at the door. This has gone a long way to ensuring the success of the Forum Sevens at Leagueunlimited.
[/size]Management takes a dim view of any participant or non-participant who shows a lack of sportsmanship. The same applies to anyone who through actions or words, damages the reputation of the Forum Sevens.
This especially applies to post-match comments and it also applies to questioning the referee decisions in the open forum.
It is imperative that players leave all arguments at the door. Any disputes between members is not to be carried into the Forum Sevens competition.
Penalties for anti-sporting behaviour can range from points being deducted to match suspensions; and possible expulsion from the competition and the forums.
Should there be excessive disruption from a participant or non-participant, anyone from F7s management may request the assistance of a site administrator.
Dispute procedure
Disputes can be brought up by team captains or delegates in the
F7s management forum or by email to
forums@leagueunlimited.com. Queries can also be sent by Private Message (PM) in the forums.
Equally, should any participants or non-participants show a lack of sportsmanship, the issue may be raised in the
F7s management forum, by
email or by PM.
