20. SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVE AT POST SEASON ACTIVITIES
(BY-LAW ARTICLE I: Policy; Sect. 10)
Athletes participating in NHIAA sponsored post-season activities must have a school designated adult
supervisor in attendance at the event throughout the athletes' participation in such event. The school
designated adult supervisor must be authorized by the high school principal. The school designated
adult must be a member of the faculty and staff of the school, preferably an administrator. This person
should have the authority and skills to deal with issues that could arise during a tournament event to
include dealing with coaches, student athletes, and fans. In individual sports it is permissible (although
not recommended) for the principal to name a non-faculty person such as a parent as the school
designated adult representative to supervise an individual student athlete. The school designated adult
must sign in with the tournament director prior to the start of the competition (the sign in sheet is
sometimes kept at the pass gate). In the case of a non staff person for an individual tournament, written
authorization from the principal must be provided to the tournament director. It is an expectation that
the school representative be present throughout the event. Failure to comply will cause a
team/individual to be excluded from the tournament event.
21. 50/50 RAFFLES:
Fifty/Fifty drawings are permitted by the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association; at the
site of an NHIAA member school hosting any round of an NHIAA tournament event(s). Fifty-fifty
raffles will not be permitted at "neutral sites" that are not NHIAA Member School sites.
22. JEWELRY AND BODY PIERCING RULE:
No jewelry, which includes body-piercing objects, shall be worn. No team warning for jewelry
violations will be issued during the indoor track championships. All athletes competing while wearing
jewelry will be disqualified. Religious medals must be properly secured under the uniform.
Medical alert medals are not considered jewelry. The alert should be visible. When the medal is
attached:
1. to a bracelet made of metal or an unyielding material, it shall be taped to the body.
2. to a bracelet made of a pliable material, it is not required to be taped to the body.
3. to a necklace, it shall be taped to the body. 5
4. Dermal Piercings - These piercings are inserted into the skin and require a medical procedure to
remove them. The decorative part screws onto the pin or screw that protrudes from the skin. Even
with a bandage over it would seem to pose a potential hazard.
23. ELECTRONIC DEVICES:
Personal electronic devices are prohibited in the competition area at all times, including while warming
up. Violations may result in a disqualification.
24. TOURNAMENT EVENT POSTPONEMENTS (WEATHER):
Neutral Site During the Week: The decision to postpone a tournament event during the week
will be made by the NHIAA. Schools, Supervisor of Officials, Game Directors, Police and Trainers
will be notified by the NHIAA.

should be directed to him directly, and he will rule on your protest. If you do not agree with his
