1. We are here to have fun. Yes, there will be a champion, but we are all winners if we can walk out of the arena with no injuries.
2. Our Liquor License is very important to the SJAA, if we lose it because someone breaks the rules, we all lose, including the kids who we give bursaries and other financial assistance to. Strike one, you (and maybe your entire team) are out.
3. Our rules surrounding safety, and safety equipment are also very important; much like the Liquor License, our Event Insurance is a needed entity, and without it, this event, and the beneficiaries from it do not occur.
If anyone is expelled from this event, they and/or their team may not be allowed back into any SJAA events in the future; this will be determined by the Directors of the SJAA.
To be reinstated, a $100 donation to the SJAA will be required prior to the review.
