The policies apply to all students, adults, and authorized persons attending the

tournament. Participants shall respect all rules and practices at all times. Partici-

pants violating any of the conduct rules may jeopardize their ability to participate,

pense. Participants and other authorized individuals attending the MIST 2014

National Tournament automatically accept terms and conditions outlined in the

MIST 2014 Code of Conduct.

Tournament Authority: Staff members of the MIST National Tournament are the

DC MIST organizers and volunteers (distinguished by a red or blue sash, accord-

ingly). Any questions/comments/concerns may be directed to a volunteer. Any

matters requiring escalated involvement may be directed to the organizers.

times from arrival at the tournament until departure from the tournament. Par-

ticipants should be prompt and prepared for all activities. Participants are re-

quired to attend all general sessions and activities assigned, including workshops

Islamic manner. Any acts that can be deemed reckless, irresponsible, or immoral

will result in disciplinary action. Causing bodily harm and/or having possession of

weapons, defacing/stealing property, and violating the sanctity of the tournament

professional manner.
