• Appreciate and applaud an exhibition of fine play or good sportsmanship by any player or team.
• Accept the decision of the officials.
• Refrain from going onto the field at any time particularly at the end of the contest.
• Be considerate of the injured on both teams.
• Do not make abusive remarks or use unacceptable language.
• Respect the opponent's campus.
• Never belittle an opponent or cheer his/her misfortune.
• Never direct abusive remarks at individual players during a contest.
• Never boo a penalty.
