Code of Conduct​

We expect the following behavior and ethical standards at all RECF-sanctioned events:

  • Act with integrity, honesty, and reliability
  • Behave in a respectful and professional manner with all event participants, attendees, and RECF staff members
  • Exhibit maturity and professionalism when dealing with difficult and stressful situations
  • Respect individual differences
  • Respect the facility and equipment provided at an event
  • Follow all rules as listed in the current game manual(s)
  • Operate as student-centered teams according to the RECF Student Centered Policy
  • Prioritize safety in actions and design
  • Demonstrate good sportsmanship, which includes supporting your alliance partners

These expectations apply to, but are not limited to team members, mentors, parents, any adult associated with a team, event partners, and volunteers. The RECF Code of Conduct may also apply to behavior outside of RECF-sanctioned events where inappropriate actions are related to an event or participating individuals. 

Repeated or egregious violations of the expectations in this Code may result in consequences up to the disqualification of the team or organization from the current event and/or future events, and potentially removal from the program after review by the REC Foundation.

Teams that have not checked in and completed inspection 45 minutes prior to the beginning of the qualifying matches will be dropped from the roster so that the match list may be run. Teams that are running late must contact the event partner prior to this cut off if they do not wish to be dropped.

Reminders

  1. Please supervise all team members; we are guests of Makaha Elementary School.  Teams are restricted to the Event area. 

  2. There should be no running in the pit or tournament areas.  Please be careful about creating tripping hazards with packing crates

  3. Please keep the pit area clean.

  4. Charging tables will be available; bring your own power strip and extension cord.

  5. Please do not bring your own game set and/or field unless you were requested/confirmed to do so.  

  6. Please review guidelines for the engineering notebook;  judges will be hard pressed to search for the required documentation if you include extensive additional pages such as the history of your program, powerpoint reprints, etc.
