• Avoid Unsportsmanlike Conduct: Do not engage in any unsportsmanlike conduct such as booing, taunting, refusing to shake hands, or using profane language or gestures.
• Health and Well-being: Avoid any behaviors that could endanger the health and well-being of athletes.
• Conflict Resolution: Play by the rules and resolve conflicts without hostility or violence.
