Exceptions to these rules will be found in Article IX of the by-laws.
|
||
|
Article VI -- Rosters
|
|||
| A. |
Completed rosters must be available to the President by December 1st of the playing season.
Final Roster by January 15. These rosters shall include the players' names, ages, school

|
||

|
||
|
Article VII -- Responsibility of the Home Team
|
|||

The home team must provide two adults (over eighteen) to serve as the official scorebook

|
||
|
Article VIII -- Schedules
|
|||
| A. |
A game schedule will be sent to each association by the President before the season and
will be strictly followed.
|
||
| B. |
Cancellations and rescheduling of games done for the convenience of either or both teams
will incur penalties of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per game to be paid to the officials'
association. Changes for convenience made within forty-eight hours of the game will result in
paying the full fees to the officials' association. Member associations are not responsible
for changes necessitated by weather conditions, by school closings or by the loss of a gym due
to non-scheduled school events.
|
||
| C. |
Any changes in scheduling must be approved by the Division Coordinators, the President
and by the coaches of both teams involved.
|
||
| D. |
Teams will make every effort to reschedule cancelled games. The decision whether a game
will be forfeited or not rescheduled without penalty to either team remains with the
President.
|
||
|
Article IX -- Special Rules
|
|||
| A. |
Games will consist of four quarters lasting seven minutes for both Jayvee and Varsity games with a stopped
clock. Any overtime period will be an additional three minutes.
|
||
| B. |
There will be no backcourt defense at any time during the entire game when the defensive team
has a lead of fifteen (15) or more points. After one warning an official may assess a
technical foul to the coach, resulting in two free throws and possession to the other
team. The officials are encouraged to use their discretion in these cases and the
technical foul will not be assessed as a conduct foul to the coach. This rule is to be
brought to the attention of the officials before the game.
|
||
| C. |
The three-(3) point shot rule is in effect for all games.
|
||
| D. |
All players on each team must participate in the game unless there is an issue of injury,
illness or disciplinary action. Failure to do will result in a forfeit if documented in
the official scorebook. If a player is in uniform and sitting on the bench but will not
be playing, then her coach will so inform the opposing coach before the game. There is
no mandatory playing time for any player.
|
||
| E. |
Any coach receiving a technical foul for misconduct or any coach ejected from a game must be
reported to Division Coordinators and the President by that coach's association in a
timely manner following the game. Any coach ejected from the game is to leave the premises
immediately and is suspended for, at a minimum, the team's next game. Failure to observe
the suspension will result in a forfeit.
|
||
| F. |
If no officials are present thirty (30) minutes after the scheduled start of the first
game (usually the Jayvee game), the games will be rescheduled. If only one official is
present, it is the decision of that official whether or not the game is to be played.
|
||
|
Article X -- Academic Eligibility
|
|||
| A. |
The Mid-Maryland Girls' Basketball Association adheres to the Academic Standards of
Extracurricular Activities (Eligibility) approved by the Frederick County Board of
Education on 2/19/96. A player becomes ineligible with one or more "F's" or a GPA below
2.0. A player does not become ineligible at an interim marking period although she may
regain eligibility at that time. A player loses or gains eligibility on the day the
report card or the "interims" are issued.
|
||
| B. |
The primary responsibility of enforcement of eligibility standards rests with the
individual associations. All changes in eligibility status are to be reported to
Division Coordinators and the President. The President will resolve any disputes
concerning eligibility.
|
||
| C. |
Any player suspended from school may not participate in a Mid-Maryland game until she is
re-instated at her school. Any player used in a game when she is considered to be
suspended by her school will cause her team to forfeit that game.
|
||
|
Article XI -- Player Conduct
|
|||
| A. |
The Association strongly supports competitive and clean behavior. It is recognized that
in a competitive situation and in a challenging game emotion is high. Members of the
varsity and jayvee teams are expected to conduct them in a proper and sportsmanlike
manner regardless of how rough the game seems or what the outcome may be. They will
respect the other players, the officials and the spectators. The following behaviors
include some of the violations that may result in a player's being suspended for her
next game or for additional sanctions thought to be necessary by the Association. As a
rule, if the behavior is seen as unsportsmanlike, the association for which she plays
should take the first appropriate disciplinary action. Such behaviors include but are
not limited to;
The member associations, through their directors and coaches, have the primary
responsibility of assuring the sportsmanlike behavior of players, coaches and fans.
The Association may offer guidelines and suggest sanctions but, at the time of the
offense or when the objectionable behavior occurs, the officials in the gym will hold the
directors or the coaches responsible for resolving the problem.
|
||
|
Article XII -- Protests
|
|||
| A. |
Protests will be decided by the Board of Directors or a panel selected by the President.
The member association making the complaint will be called the applicant and the alleged
association (team) in violation will be the respondent. The applicant will make his protest
to the President in writing, with a copy to the respondent, within five days of the alleged
violation. If the President cannot address the complaint, it will be given to the Vice
President. Officers cannot serve on a panel if their teams are party to the protest. A
twenty-five dollar ($25.00) fee will accompany the protest and will be refunded if the protest
is upheld. The Board will promptly call a panel hearing with the interested parties required
to attend and to present evidence covering the issue in question if the Board so chooses. A
written decision from the panel will be final.
|
||
| B. |
The five- (5) day time period will be determined by the delivery of the protest to the
President or by postmark if mailed. Penalties will be restricted to warnings, forfeiture
of game(s), suspension of player(s) or suspension of a coach.

The above configuration was created based upon records from past seasons, geographical alignment
and historical rivalries. During the 2006-07 and the 2007-08 seasons, a grandfather provision
allows any girl who has played in Mid-Maryland prior to the 2006-07 season to remain with her
original team. St. John’s is an independent Catholic team that is not affiliated with any one
school. The St. John’s draw area includes players from St. John’s Regional Catholic School,
Mother Seton Catholic School, the Academy of the Visitation and St. Thomas More Academy. St.
John’s may also recruit players who are members of any Catholic parish in Frederick County.
These players, however, must tryout for their own draw area team and must be cut prior to trying
out for St. John’s. Girls playing for St. John’s in one season are grandfathered with St. John’s
in the next season. The cases of other students who attend other parochial schools or who are
home schooled and who wish to play in Mid-Maryland will be decided on an individual basis.
In the event that a re-districting may change a particular draw area, a player may
continue with her original team. Players desiring to change to a new draw area team
must be approved by both the losing and gaining teams and by the President.
A coach must have been coaching for at least one year with an association before his
daughter(s) may leave her home draw area to play for her father.

APPENDIX B
TOURNAMENT SEEDING |
|||
|
Each division will host its own post-season tournament. At the Spring 2006
meeting of the League, a method of improving competition known at relegation was
adopted. Jayvee division records will determine which one or two teams will
move to stronger or weaker divisions in the following season. These new alignments
will be determined at the post-season meeting.
Seedings for post-season tournaments will be based upon division records (most wins or fewer losses). If necessary tiebreakers will be used in the following order;
If weather forces the compressing of a tournament schedule as in 2005, the first
measure used will be the elimination of lower seeded teams.
All regular season rules and procedures remain in effect without exception in post-season tournament play. |
