1. Violent conduct is defined as the commission of a violent act against an
opponent, official, spectator, teammate or other individual(s) when in or
out of play. A player or coach is guilty of violent conduct if he/she uses
excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not in the play.
He/she is also guilty of violent conduct if he/she uses excessive force or
brutality against a teammate, spectator, official or any other person.
Violent conduct may occur either on the field of play or outside its
boundaries, whether the person is in play or not.
2. Abusive language is defined as harsh or insulting language or profanity
directed towards another individual.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPEjection Appeal Process
• WIAA staff interpret the playing rules in all sports. If
a school is considering an appeal of an ejection or a
protest of a rule, the WIAA staff overseeing that sport
must be contacted, NOT the local assignor for that
sport. The role of the assignor is simply to assign
officials to contests.
• Who should be contacted:
– WIAA staff who oversees that sport
– Administrator of opposing school
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPEjection Appeal Process
19.13.2 Ejections resulting from a judgment call that resulted in an
ejection, may be appealed. School approved video evidence, submitted
by the principal or designee, may be used to determine whether an
ejection was due to incorrect judgment on the part of the ejecting contest
official.
A. For regular season events, the principal/designee of the ejected person
must contact the WIAA administrative staff within one (1) school business
day after the conclusion of the contest in which the ejection occurred to
verify an incorrect judgment call that resulted in the ejection. Providing
the WIAA administrative staff finds an incorrect judgment call backed by
video evidence, the principal/designee may appeal only the suspension
to the school’s league. If the school is not a member of a league, the
appeal will be filed directly with the WIAA District Board.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPEjection Appeal Process
1. The video must be submitted within one (1) school business day after
the conclusion of the contest during which the ejection occurred.
2. The video submitted must clearly document the situation/play in which
the ejection occurred.
3. The WIAA administrative staff will have a minimum of two (2) school
business days in order to make a decision regarding the appeal.
4. The decision of the WIAA administrative staff regarding the ejection is
final.
5. If the next contest in which the ejected person will be suspended is
less than two (2) school business days from the conclusion of the
contest during which the ejection occurred, the appeal must be heard
by a Games Committee (refer to 19.13.3).
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPEjection Appeal Process
B. Provided the steps in 19.13.2 have been met, the principal or designee
may stay the suspension, but may not vacate the ejection, and will
report his/her decision and rationale to the school’s league.
1. If WIAA administrative staff review cannot be completed prior to the
next regular season contest or a Games Committee (refer to 19.13.3)
is not available, the suspension must be fulfilled.
2. If the suspension is fulfilled, an appeal can still be processed, with the
potential to remove the ejection from the individual’s record and the
school ejection count.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPEjection Appeal Process
C. The hearing procedures, as outlined in 27.0.0, shall be followed. The
league shall review and either affirm the decision of the
principal/designee with the understanding that the one (1) contest
suspension shall not be assessed or overrule the decision of the
principal/designee, whereby the ejected person shall be required to
serve the one (1) contest suspension. Any league action shall be in
writing and specify the reasons for the league decision. Failure of a
school for any reason to enforce the regulation and/or decision of the
league will be considered a school violation.
D. For postseason qualifying contests and/or state contests, any appeal
will be heard by the Games Committee (refer to 19.13.3), providing the
appeal was approved by the school principal/designee. A decision will
be given no later than two (2) hours before the next event in which the
ejected person might participate.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPEjection Appeal Process
• Be specific, let us know what we are looking for in the video.
– Provide time stamps
– Provide uniform number(s)
– Provide location in the frame or on the field
• Call with extenuating circumstances
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPGames Committee
Each Event Manager shall appoint and name a Games
Committee for all postseason contests. The Games
Committee will be on site or readily accessible by phone
for all postseason qualifying and/or state contests.
Participating coaches will be informed of the process
and makeup of the Games Committee prior to each
postseason event.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPGames Committee
A. The Games Committee may be composed of no fewer than
three, nor more than five, members. Games committee members
may include 1) the event manager or designee; 2) the head official;
3) a coach, athletic director or school administrator not involved in
the appeal; and may include 4) the official scorekeeper or 5)
another event staff member.
B. The Games Committee members may not have a conflict of
interest with the teams/individuals involved with the appeal.
C. The Games Committee may assist the event manager as needed
and be immediately available to him/her at all times during the
event.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPGames Committee
D. The Games Committee will act as an arbitration board to review
an appeal of an ejection due to incorrect judgment.
E. Providing the Games Committee overturns a judgment call that
led to an ejection, the suspension may be vacated.
F. The decision of the Games Committee is final.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPVideo of Non-Ejection
• The staff and Board are committed to consistent and
fair rulings when faced with unique circumstances.
• The WIAA Executive Board is considering an
amendment that, after watching a video submitted
by a school to appeal a suspension, would give the
WIAA staff the ability to suspend a participant or
coach if their behavior warranted ejection but was
unseen by the officials working the contest or to
increase the suspension based upon behavior
following the ejection.
2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPTrack and Field DQ vs. Ejection
• Unacceptable Conduct – Athlete is disqualified from the current
event and able to compete in the remainder of the meet.
o A judgement call may not be appealed by video.

which could bring discredit to the individual or his/her
school.
• Unsporting Conduct – Athlete is disqualified from that event
and cannot compete in the remainder of the meet.
o If video evidence is available, appeal can be filed with the
head official and a Games Committee will hear the appeal.
o Examples: Disrespectfully addressing an official, flagrant
behavior or use of profanity, directed toward someone.

season play and those games count toward league
standings in determining postseason play access.)

2019-20 FALL WORKSHOPWIAA Online
What do Coaches need to do?
After creating an account to accurately manage important WIAA
initiatives, coaches are required to update their scores on
MaxPreps after each game and are directed to enter their stats
after each game throughout the season. Once inside your coach
admin, you will see a checklist to update your Schedule, Roster and
Scores throughout the season.
What do Athletic Directors need to do?
Because each WIAA member school is required to keep their scores
accurate on MaxPreps, the AD needs to ensure each team coaching
staff has access to enter scores or enter the scores themselves.
AD's currently not using MaxPreps should visit MaxPreps.com
or contact MaxPreps by phone (800-329-7324 x1) or email
at support@maxpreps.com to sign up or get access.
