participate in the championship. If a team does not have a band present, it may provide a tape of

the institution’s fight song to be played at the first timeout of each game. Bands may not use

electronic amplification, unless the band comprises 10 members or less, and the amplification is

reasonable.

The display of banners is subject to the approval of the games committee. Host institution

personnel are responsible for ensuring that the content and placement of banners is appropriate.

The host institution should play electronic music from the time the doors open until the bands

begin warming up.

Participating teams are limited to a maximum of 15 players in uniform.

A team’s bench limit is 22 and team benches will be set at 16. If an institution wishes to include

its own team doctor in the bench area, that individual must occupy one of the 16 chairs and is

included in the limit of 22.

Participant passes will be provided for a maximum of 22 institutional representatives.

Three all-access credentials will be provided for the institution’s administration.

DRUG TESTING

Student-athletes who compete in this championship may be subjected to drug tests in accordance

student-athletes who have consented in writing to such testing are initially eligible for this

championship; and thereafter, student-athletes who are tested shall remain eligible only if they

test negative.

ELECTRONIC TIMEOUTS

Electronic timeouts will be used for tournament matches regardless of television coverage (live or

tape-delayed). In all matches, in a nondeciding game (games 1 through 4), the media timeout is

called when the leading team reaches 15 points (if no timeout has been called by a team before

that point). In the deciding game (game 5), the media timeout is called at eight (8) points. Once

one timeout has been called in a game, no other electronic timeouts may be requested. Each

coach will be permitted to call two timeouts per game. All timeouts (electronic or coach-called)
