RRAC Emergency Plan

RRAC Emergency Plan

In the event of a disruption, game officials have authority under the playing rules to suspend play for any reason. In the event of a disturbance of such character and proportions that it disrupts the game, the following actions should be taken.

  1. The referee shall call a halt to the game (official's time out) and instruct each team captain to send his teammates to their respective benches. Coaches will make special efforts to see that players do not become involved in the disturbance by holding them in their respective team areas, or upon instruction, taking them to their respective locker rooms.
  2. The referee will make note of the time and ball possession. The clock operator will freeze the game clock at that point. This being accomplished, the officials will return to the sidelines. The referee must make himself available to the game administrator for further instruction.
  3. The game administrator and the school's crowd control representative will assume responsibility immediately after teams and officials have cleared the court. Under no circumstances are players, coaches, or officials to become involved in the action.
  4. Should the disturbance be of such proportions that a long delay is imminent, or such that it threatens the involvement and safety of players, coaches or officials, the teams and officials will be isntructed by the game administrator to return to their respective locker rooms.
  5. Teams and officials will remain in their respective locker rooms until the disturbance has been brought under control.
  6. The game administrator will notify the referee after order has been restored, making play possible. If not, the facility will be cleared of spectators and the doors locked so that the game may resume.
  7. The teams when returning to the floor/field will be allowed a five-minute warm-up period. Following that, the game will resume from the point it was stopped.
  8. Shoud the disturbance be of such proportions that further play would be impossible, status of the game shall be determined by the Commissioner in consultation with athletic directors of the involved teams.
  9. The RRAC will follow each individual member institution's emergency plan when there are conference contests or conference championships that take place on those campuses.
  10. All details of any emergency at a campus location or at a neutral site competition between RRAC members will be forwarded to the RRAC office as soon as possible.
