atmosphere. Please be considerate of those around you. Each
manager, coach, player, sponsor, and team follower must adhere to
true concept of competition, fair play, and sportsmanship.
Unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated either on the field or
off.
While attending a tournament, each of us is a representative of
Southern Softball. We are guests of the tournament site and our
actions reflect directly on the Southern Softball Association. Each
person involved with SSAA comply with the following:

or spectators will report it to the tournament director. The
purpose is to prevent incidents from developing into a serious
situation that would be harmful to the tournament or SSAA.

must control their players. Managers or coaches may consult game
officials, players will not take part in the discussion.
- Smoking is prohibited while on the playing field or coaches box.
- Alcoholic beverages will not be consumed or allowed in the dug-
out or on the field during the course of the game.
- Sponsors, managers, coaches, or players will be suspended for
fighting, abusive tactics, or unbecoming acts that are determined to
be detrimental to SSAA. Any person that assaults a representative
of SSAA or umpire will be barred from SSAA and may also be subject
to legal actions.
- Any report by private business of damage or abuse to property,
failure to pay motel or hotel bills will be grounds for suspension.

Association or their representatives will be subject to disbarment.
