SPORTSMANSHIP RULES

SPORTSMANSHIP

As an adult coed league, our league wants to promote both competitveness and sportsmanship in order to give all of our players the ability to come to the fields and have fun playing softball. We also want to provide an environment where family, fans and children can come to the fields and watch games without fear of constant vulgarity and unsportsmanlike conduct. Please join us in continuing to make our league one of the best coed leagues in the state of Pennsylvania.

Any team that continually exhibits unsportsmanlike behavior will first be given a warning by the league and any subsequent unsportsmanlike behavior by that team will result in permanent removal from the league. Unsportsmanlike behavior includes but is not necessarily limited to: fighting, verbal abuse or dissent toward an official or opponent, racial or ethnic slurs, inappropriate comments or behavior that may be construed as sexual arassment, profanity, obscene gestures, flagrant and violent play, taunting, trash talk, baiting, cheating, throwing or abusing equipment, destruction of field or league property, physical intimidation or abuse of an official or opponent, unauthorized leaving of a team bench area, striking or physically abusing an official, opposing coach, or player, intentionally inciting participants or spectators to violent or abusive action and using profane or unduly provocative language or action toward officials, opponents or spectators.
Any player on the roster of a team that is permanently removed from the league must petition the league for reinstatement. A player may be reinstated and play for another team in the league if said player was not involved in any of the incidents that led to their team being removed from the league. As the responsibility of the manager is to control his/her own team, managers of removed teams will not be allowed reinstatement.
Any player that throws a punch on or around the field or parking area will result in an indefinite suspension from the league.
Taunting, physical intimidation, profanity towards an opponent, league official or an umpire and destruction of property on field premises and adjoining areas (parking lots) will not be tolerated. Any of these acts will result in an immediate ejection of the offending player plus a one game suspension in league play. A second infraction will result in a one year suspension. A third infraction will result in permanent removal from the league. Infractions are NOT limited to one season.
Any comments by players intimating physical harm to an opposing player will not be tolerated. Any comment related to "targeting" or "open season" on an opposing pitcher will not be tolerated. Making a physical move towards an opponent or opponent bench area with intent or physical contact beyond normal game play will not be tolerated. Any player purposely hitting at the pitcher with the intent to injure in the judgment of the umpire will not be tolerated. A first infraction will result in an immediate ejection of the offending player(s) and a three game suspension in league play. A second infraction will result in permanent removal from the league. Infractions are NOT limited to one season.
Umpires have the right to throw a player or manager out of a game for consistent verbal abuse and/or physical confrontation. If a player(s) is ejected, the player(s) must leave the field and may not sit in the stands or anywhere within the Complex. The ejected player will serve at least a one-game suspension on the next scheduled game. Egregious infractions may stipulate a longer ejection as voted on by the League Ethics Board or at the recommendation of the District Umpire-In-Chief.
An ejection in any area ASA league or tournament will be honored by the Chester County Coed Softball League. A first ejection will result in at least a one-game suspension in our league. (see above rule for egregious infractions) A second ejection within the same year will result in at least a suspension for the current season and the next season. A third ejection within the same year will result in permanent removal from the league.
Player poaching is considered a serious offense by this Association and any team or individual found to have committed a poaching violation shall be subject to removal from the league without refund. What is player poaching? It is the practice where a team manager or team player will approach rostered players from other teams. Those players are already committed to their first team, but they will still be asked directly and try to and persuade them to switch teams. This is unethical and unsportsmanlike. We do not condone this behavior.
The League Ethics Board will have the sole responsibility of voting on rules pertaining to team/player behavior in the league. A majority vote will pass or revoke any rule brought before the board. The League Ethics Board will also vote on the status of any player or team that exhibits continued unsportsmanlike behavior and for egregious infractions.
