9. CODE OF CONDUCT
9.1 A Code of conduct has been introduced by the Association and relates to all National
Championship events under their direct control. The Association reserves the right to conduct
a full enquiry into all reported incidents and take whatever action is deemed to be appropriate
in the circumstances. Copies available from the EIBA and can be downloaded
www.eiba.co.uk/championship-rules/code-of-conduct-national-competitions.pdf.
9.2 All complaints regarding the Code of Conduct shall be reported to the Area Coordinator within
7 days of the alleged incident.
9.3 Disciplinary Action: The Code of Conduct escalation process will be as follows: If the Area Coordinator cannot resolve the dispute between the two sides amicably; then the
matter will be escalated to the Regional Coordinator. If the matter still cannot be resolved at
this level, then the matter will be escalated to the Performance Lead whose decision will be
final.
If the matter is deemed serious enough for disciplinary action to be involved, then a full
investigation will be organised by the Director of Performance involving an independent
investigation committee. This will be communicated in writing to both parties. Following this, a
player against who a judgement has been made has the right to appeal using the EIBA Ltd
Appeals procedure.
9.4 Abuse to the person: A player shall not abuse in any way whatsoever, any other person during
the course of a game.
9.5. Abuse of Equipment: A player shall not cause wilful damage to any equipment whatsoever
during the course of a game.
9.6 Drug and Alcohol Abuse: No player shall cause himself/herself to be unfit to play through either
drug or alcohol abuse during the course of any event under the direct control of the Association.
Reference will need to be made to the Association’s Anti-Doping Policy.

Team (Sides) Championships are played on a knockout principle.
An Umpire should be used in preference to a Competent Person for all rounds.
Where a Club with only 1 rink is involved, one of the following options will apply at the discretion
of the one rink club: (i) the ties may be played in consecutive sequence.
(ii) in “two home, two away” events, the second “home” four of the one rink Club may play on
an approved neutral green.
(iii) three “fours” (where applicable) may play on their opponents green if available.
In all Championships, Clubs more than 100 miles apart by road will play on a neutral green as
near as possible halfway between the two, playing all rinks at the same venue. The home team
will find the venue and arrange the umpire with a start time as close to 10am as possible shall
be agreed by both clubs. Costs shall be shared. Games may also be played home and away
by mutual agreement.
