PRACTICE AT CHAMPIONSHIP SITE(S):
No arrangements for practice at competition sites are allowed by the CCS once the site of the Tournament has been announced.  See the "General Tournament Information" Section of the CCS Tournament Guide for the specific policy.  Schools found in violation of this rule may be barred from further participation in the Section Play-offs.

ADMISSION PRICES:
General Admission - $7    Senior Citizens - $4    Student Discount (w/ ASB card) - $3    Children (under 12) - $2

GAME BALL:
BADEN is the "Official Tournament Ball," will be provided by the CCS and will be used exclusively throughout the Tournament.

SPORTSMANSHIP:
It is essential that all competition be completely within the bounds of GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP.  Therefore, any player or coach who is disqualified from a Play-off contest for flagrant misconduct or unsportsmanlike behavior shall be disqualified from all remaining contests in that sport that season.

FACULTY SUPERVISION:
Adequate student/spectator supervision MUST be provided by each school participating in the Tournament.  School administrators/faculty who attend the contest in this regard should introduce themselves to the CCS Site Director, and tell him/her where they will be located throughout the contest in case their assistance is required.  It is the responsibility of the school supervisory personnel to prevent and correct any inappropriate behavior of their schools' students and spectators.

CHAMPIONSHIP T-SHIRTS / PARTICIPANT PINS:
The Championship T-Shirts Order Form is located in the APPENDIX of the CCS Tournament Guide.  T-Shirts will be available at the seeding meeting for $12.00 each; orders can also be faxed/mailed to the CCS office.  Participant Pins are also available for sale ($1 each), while supplies last.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS AND COACHES:
The CIF-Central Coast Section is well aware that many other school and non-school activities (AP tests, SAT/ACT tests, proms, plays, holidays, senior trips, religious days, etc.) may occur during CCS Play-offs.  The CCS tries to avoid as many conflicts as possible; however, with so many activities available for today's student-athlete, it is not reasonable to assume that all such activities can be taken into account, and thus, CCS Play-off events will go on as originally scheduled.  Participants and coaches are therefore expected to plan in advance for such possible scheduling conflicts and make those difficult choices as to which events will take precedence for that individual.  Generally, although it is ultimately the personal choice of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s), an academic activity should take precedence over an extra-curricular event.
