**Sportsmanship**

Young impressionable minds may be observing your behavior and this could have a significant impact.  An NANBF athlete or official is a role model, whether they choose to be or not.  Anything less than a positive role model is unacceptable by NANBF guidelines.  It is important that you conduct yourself as a professional at all times.

Mental, physical or verbal confrontation with competitors, NANBF officials, event staff or fans
Verbal threats, taunts, or gestures based on race, creed, ethnic origin, gender, religion or sexual orientation
Profane language, display of anger or lewd behavior
Having to be removed from a NANBF sponsored event
Use disrespectful or derogatory comments, cheers or gestures
Criticize officials in any way – display of anger, use of profanity
Incite fans, competitors or staff.
