Code Of Conduct (Page 2 of 3) in pdf

Dress of representatives is most important, particularly at receptions and other

ceremonies. If not in uniform, competitors should at all times be smartly

dressed. Team uniform must be worn whilst travelling and when directed to do

so by the team manager. Dress for practice is important, REMEMBER THE

INTERNATIONAL RULES ON COSTUME WHICH INCLUDES PRACTICE

DAYS. You are being watched and ‘possibly assessed’ every time you go to

the floor during practice and training sessions.

Exhibition programs must be well rehearsed and ‘ad lib’ displays are not

10.

acceptable. All skaters chosen for international events are expected to have an

exhibition program not a competition program and they may be asked at any

time to give an exhibition. Care must be taken in consultation with the team

manager and your trainer, to ensure as far as possible that programs are

suitable and are not similar to those of other competitors.

11.

The allocation of rooms will be carried out in the best interest of all competitors,

so as to ensure the maximum amount of rest without disturbances. Should you

decide to celebrate remember that when you are returning to your rooms you

must be quiet as other members of the team and residents in the hotel may be

sleeping. Until the conclusion of all the competitions, competitors, trainers and

officials should take the greatest care to avoid disturbance or noise at nights,

so to give all competitors maximum amount of rest.

12.

A tidy hotel room makes for an efficient team member. Make sure you are tidy

at all times, be self-sufficient, and look after yourself and your belongings. Do

not expect to borrow any items from another person, it may be all right the first

time but repeated borrowing loses friends.

13.

Although you may be given a timetable before the event, check and check

again that your practice and competition times have not changed. Times being

altered is common at international events. Do not rely on others to get you to

the stadium on time for practice or competition.

14.

Skate maintenance and equipment is your problem. You must not go away

without the equipment being in first class order. Spare wheels should already

have the ballraces fitted so that if necessary you can change wheels quickly.

Toe stops should also be checked, your equipment is your own responsibility

not that of an official, trainer or parent.

Music – Make sure you carry your own music at all times, with spare copies at

15.

different speeds should there be a problem with the stadiums equipment when

you arrive for first practice. If your music is on CD or mini disc you should also

have a taped copy available as not all stadiums have all facilities. Your music

should be clearly marked with your name, event and country and whether it is

short, long, OSP or freedance.

16.

When selected to skate abroad you will be informed of what the total costs will

be. You will also be informed as to how much, if any, the Federation will

contribute towards these total costs. You must pay for extra food, drinks,

telephone calls or anything else that you may want. This will be your

responsibility from the time you leave the country until you arrive back.

Remember do not put extras on your room bills at hotels, if you do they are

your responsibility, and will not be paid by anyone else. These costs would

have to be paid for before you leave the hotel.
