   2. Understand that the fundamental purpose of the IAHSEA is to create and support a community for students.

   3. Be an active member of the IAHSEA Discord, meaning keeping abreast of all information announced through the Discord, including announcements, roster submissions, and schedules.

   1. Use appropriate language at all times 

   2. Not use content streams, media, or social outlets to distress any member of any team. 

6. Field a competitive team for all scheduled events. 

   1. Schools are allowed one forfeit per season without penalty.
