Students who participate on both varsity and junior varsity teams may not play in a number of contests that exceed the maximum number allowed for that sport in a week or season. Students may not compete on both a varsity and junior varsity level against the same school on the same day. Except as set forth in Regulation .03 of this chapter, school athletic teams may not participate in any contests representing their school. Member MPSSAA schools may not play or practice on Sundays.

Individual students or teams representing a member MPSSAA school shall participate only in games, meets, or tournaments which are conducted by appropriate educational institutions. Member MPSSAA schools may not enter competition preliminary to a college or professional game. A varsity or junior varsity team member of the previous season may not participate in interscholastic competition and in intramurals or school sponsored athletic programs in the same sport outside the sport season.

Students and member schools may participate in summer camps that are sponsored by the local school system. MPSSAA member schools and coaches may not require school personnel or students to participate in a summer camp. Participation in summer camps is strictly voluntary and does not have any bearing on seasonal participation. It is a violation of the out-of-season practice rule established in Regulation .03 of this chapter for coaches of member MPSSAA schools, while affiliated with a camp that is not sponsored by the local school system, to conduct any form of team or group practice involving their school. A member MPSSAA school may not provide school uniforms or equipment for students who attend a camp outside of the defined sports season in Regulation .03 of this chapter. Competitors. Member MPSSAA schools shall only practice with or play against high school teams that: Ensure fair competition, athlete safety, and appropriate supervision by a responsible entity; Maintain athletics as an integral part of the total educational program; Promote academic progress; Develop leadership; and Deter exploitation of students. High school teams that meet these purposes include high school teams that: Are members of a state interscholastic athletic association recognized by the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS); Have been approved to play members of a state interscholastic athletic association recognized by the NFHS; Are members of an athletic conference that: Formally adopts the standards of competition as established by the Maryland State Superintendent of Schools as part of its constitution and bylaws; and Has enforcement authority; or Represent a school that verifies compliance with standards of competition as established by the Maryland State Superintendent of Schools.

Failure to comply with these regulations shall constitute a violation which will result in the following penalties against the member MPSSAA school and either the student or the coach, or both. Depending upon the severity of the violation, more than one penalty may be imposed against the member MPSSAA school, student, or coach, or all of the above. Penalties shall be imposed in the order listed below: Against a member MPSSAA school: First — Declare forfeit of all games in which the violation occurred. Second — Declare the member MPSSAA school ineligible for championship honors for the current school year in the sport in which the violation occurred. Third — Declare the member MPSSAA school on probation for one school year which shall render the school ineligible to compete in any approved State meet or tournament for that year. Fourth — Impose additional penalties as may seem justified in the particular case considered. Against a student: First — Declare the student to be ineligible for the next 60 school days following the date the student was found to be in violation. These 60 school days will carry over into the next school year if the violation occurs during the second semester. Second — Declare the student to be ineligible to compete in the sport in which the violation occurred during the subsequent season. Third — Impose additional penalties as may seem justified in the particular case considered. Against a coach: First — Censure.

Fourth — A report of the hearing and decision in the local school system shall be forwarded to the Executive Director of the MPSSAA. Fifth — The MPSSAA Executive Director, in consultation with the appropriate committees, or the Executive Council of the MPSSAA, shall review the report of the local hearing and decision in the local school system. The MPSSAA Executive Director shall either accept the penalty imposed or modify the penalty in accordance with this regulation. Penalties imposed by local school systems for violations of local school system rules adopted in accordance with Regulations .01B and .02B shall be uniform with the penalties designated in Regulation .05A of this chapter. Appeals. A member MPSSAA school, student, or coach may appeal the imposed penalty within 30 days and request a hearing before the Appeals Committee of MPSSAA. The Appeals Committee of the MPSSAA serves in a quasi-judicial capacity. The membership of the MPSSAA Appeals Committee shall include one representative from each district in the Association and a representative from the Association of Secondary School Principals. Five members will constitute a quorum. The MPSSAA Executive Director shall notify the Appeals Committee of the hearing and establish a date, time, and hearing site. The appealing school, student, or coach, or all of the above, shall be notified of the date, site, and time of the hearing. The MPSSAA Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee shall present the case to the Appeals Committee on behalf of the MPSSAA. The principal of the involved school, the student, or coach, or all of the above, shall present grounds for appeal. If appropriate, the local school system's supervisor of interscholastic athletics involved in the appeal may present the case. The MPSSAA Appeals Committee shall convene in closed session and vote to deny or uphold the appeal or modify the penalty. A majority vote is required to deny or uphold an appeal or modify the penalty. The MPSSAA Appeals Committee shall report its findings to the concerned parties. Any party aggrieved by the MPSSAA Appeals Committee decision may appeal the decision to the State Superintendent of Schools within 30 days after receipt of the Appeals Committee decision. The State Superintendent of Schools, upon examination of the facts, may, in his or her discretion, allow the appeal and appoint a special committee of three local superintendents of schools to hear the appeal. The committee of superintendents may deny or uphold the appeal or modify the penalty. Unless otherwise ordered by the State Superintendent of Schools, the application for appeal to the State Superintendent of Schools may not stay the enforcement of the MPSSAA Appeals Committee decision, or excuse the person affected thereby from complying with its terms. The decision of the committee of local superintendents of schools is final. A member of the MPSSAA Appeals Committee or the committee of local superintendents of schools may not hear an appeal if that member has offered advice, made a recommendation, rendered a decision, or in any other way participated in the case being appealed. For the purpose of parity in competition in meets and tournaments administered by the MPSSAA, member schools shall be divided into classifications based on enrollment. If, in this calculation, two or more schools with equal enrollments fall between two classifications, they shall be placed in the lower classification. The local superintendent of schools shall submit to the MPSSAA Executive Director a report on the actual school enrollment of students in Grades 9, 10, and 11 in each of the member MPSSAA schools as of September 30, in each even-numbered year. The MPSSAA Executive Director and Classification Committee shall present a recommendation for classification of member schools for each MPSSAA-administered sport to the MPSSAA Board of Control for adoption. Classification shall be determined every 2 years based on the September 30 enrollment of the previous year. When the MPSSAA Board of Control adopts classifications for member schools, the classifications shall remain in effect for the next 2 school years. A new member MPSSAA school that opens or a member school whose enrollment is significantly changed by growth or consolidation during the two-year period shall be placed in the proper classification by the Classification Committee. “Significantly changed” means a decrease or an increase in enrollment of more than 25 percent. This new placement shall affect only the involved school and may not affect the classification of other member schools. When a member MPSSAA school does not have all three grades included in the enrollment figures upon which the classification is based in the even-numbered year, but will have all three grades in the following odd-numbered year when classification becomes effective, the enrollment figure shall include the existing grades and average of the current class sizes applied to each projected grade. The MPSSAA games or tournament committees representing all of the districts shall administer and supervise tournaments in the various sports at the district, regional, and State level. All participating schools shall abide by the rules established by each MPSSAA tournament committee. Although certain aspects of a tournament may vary from year to year, the following basic policies shall be observed by all tournament committees: The tournament may not interfere with local board of education policy. A member MPSSAA school or local school system may decide whether or not to participate in the tournament. A member MPSSAA school shall compete in its classification when the tournament is so structured. Certified and approved officials' organizations shall be assigned games in a fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory manner. All awards and recognition shall conform to Regulation .08 of this chapter. MPSSAA tournament committees shall make every effort to establish game sites to avoid extensive travel for participating teams. All policy and procedure changes for State tournaments shall be subject to the approval of the MPSSAA Executive Council with the Association Tournament Committee serving in an advisory capacity. Emergency decisions on tournament policies and procedures may be made by the MPSSAA Executive Director. When a student is found ineligible during the progress of a tournament, the contest last played shall be forfeited, and the team which was defeated shall take its place. “All-star teams” or best “individual athlete” awards may not be selected from approved tournaments. Sports at the State tournament level shall be governed by approved game rules. If a team or any students participating in a State tournament contest leaves the field of competition before completion of a contest, or fails to continue play when eligible to do so, or is guilty of misconduct detrimental to the tournament, then the team, coach, or students may be suspended from further participation in the current tournament, and from the same tournament in the succeeding year, upon the determination of the tournament committee and the Executive Director. The rules of the MPSSAA do not provide authority to order games replayed. Protests arising from decisions and interpretations by officials during the game will not be considered. Officials' decisions and interpretations are final. Expansion of any sport to the State level shall be recommended by the State Board of Control of the MPSSAA and approved by the State Superintendent of Schools after consultation with local superintendents of schools. Tournament rules and procedures established by the MPSSAA may be appealed on behalf of a student, coach, or school by a local superintendent of schools to the State Superintendent of Schools. The appeal shall be adjudicated by a committee of three local superintendents of schools appointed by the State Superintendent of Schools. The decision of the committee shall be final. Awards may be made as follows: A school, school related, or nonprofit group may purchase and present to a student for athletic achievement a school insignia, medal, pin, or similar article; Awards from outside the school may be given to individual athletes or school teams provided the awards are approved by the local superintendent, meet MPSSAA guidelines, and the presentation is made at a school-approved function. Recognition of student athletes and teams, other than through awards, shall be limited to appreciation banquets approved by the local superintendent. Students or teams representing a member MPSSAA school shall participate only in contests conducted by educationally related organizations. Member MPSSAA schools may not compete in any contest in any other state if either school's participation violates the regulations or established policies of either state's high school interscholastic athletic authority. Sanctioning Guidelines. Sanctioning for Interstate Competition. Member MPSSAA schools may not compete in any of the following contests unless the contest has been sanctioned by each of the interested state authorities through the NFHS: Any interstate meet in which four or more schools participate; Any competition involving schools from three or more state athletic associations; Any interstate two school contest which is not sponsored by a NFHS state association or a state member school; Any interstate two-school contest which involves travel outside the United States of America; or Any interstate two-school contest, regardless of distance to be traveled, which is sponsored by an individual or an organization other than a member MPSSAA high school. A school or school system that wishes to serve as a host for an interstate contest shall file the appropriate sanction request form prior to the first play date and at least 15 days prior to the event for events within the first 2 weeks of the season. Schools participating in interstate contests shall use the National Federation contract form furnished by the MPSSAA Executive Director. In all interstate contests, each participating school shall follow the rules of the host state athletic authority. Sanctioning for Intrastate Competition. Member MPSSAA schools may only compete against other member MPSSAA schools or schools approved through the Standards of Competition. Approval of the MPSSAA Executive Director is required for any intercounty contest involving more than three teams and sponsored by a non-member educational institution. The host school shall file the appropriate sanction request form with the MPSSAA Executive Director prior to the first play date and at least 15 days prior to the event for events within the first 2 weeks of the season. Member MPSSAA schools may host intercounty contests involving only other member MPSSAA schools or schools approved through the Standards of Competition without sanctioning approval. MPSSAA Sanction Guidelines. The following criteria shall be met for sanction approval by the MPSSAA: The competition may not determine a regional or national championship; The competition is not preliminary to a college or professional game; The competition is sponsored by an educational institution or similar nonprofit organization; Participation in the event is within the United States of America, does not involve loss of instructional time, and complies with the local school system policies and procedures for school-sponsored travel; and All awards shall comply with Regulation .08 of this chapter. Students who have not used or are not using their athletic skill as players for financial gain, or who have not competed under assumed names as players, shall be considered amateurs. Employment as an instructor, counselor, or official may not be considered a violation. Students who have ceased to be amateurs in a particular sport may not represent their school in interscholastic athletics in that sport. Students who have lost amateur standing may apply for reinstatement to the MPSSAA Appeals Committee after the lapse of 60 days. The 60 days shall commence with a letter of determination from the local superintendent of schools. Students may not lose amateur standing by playing with or against professional players as long as they do not receive pay for their services. Students shall lose their amateur status in a particular sport if they sign a professional contract in that sport. Proposed written amendments to these regulations may be submitted only by a member MPSSAA school, local superintendent of schools, MPSSAA committee, or the MPSSAA Executive Director. Proposed amendments shall be received by the MPSSAA Executive Director at least 45 days before the annual meeting of the MPSSAA Board of Control. Upon receipt, proposed amendments shall be referred to the Constitution Committee for appropriate action and recommendation. Notice of the proposed amendments shall be sent to each member MPSSAA school, local superintendent of schools, and the State Superintendent of Schools at least 15 days before the annual legislative meeting of the MPSSAA. Ratification of the proposed amendments shall require a majority vote of the delegates present at the annual legislative meeting of the MPSSAA. Amendments approved by the MPSSAA shall be forwarded to the State Superintendent of Schools who will receive recommendations from local superintendents of schools before the State Superintendent of Schools submits recommendations to the State Board of Education. The amendments approved by the State Board of Education shall be in effect according to the date established by the Board.
