What are the rules for coach dress and behaviour at sanctioned events?

• Dress code: at all sanctioned events coaches wear long pants, shoes, and a shirt, t-shirt, golf shirt or polo, with no hat. At other events coaches must dress appropriately.
• Behaviour: coaching behaviour must follow the IJF regulations at "A" and "B" sanctioned events, and a record of offending coaches is kept on a standard form.
• Safe sport: at sanctioned events all Safe Sport related policies are enforced, including the Athlete Protection Policy, the Code of Conduct and Ethics and the Event Discipline Policy.
• Hansoku-make: a competitor disqualified by Hansoku-make for an unethical action contrary to the spirit of sport is disqualified from the entire event (all age groups, all days).
