IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS

Due to the concerning increase in the number of incidents that have been reported this year, UBC REC has adjusted parts of its Supplementary Discipline System (SDS) to address the rise in unsportsmanlike and dangerous behavior. UBC REC has found that solely informing captains of these consequences with regards to the SDS process has not been effective. With both the frequency and severity of these increasing this year, UBC REC feels it is in the best interest of all participants to inform themselves of both the process and consequences regarding inappropriate behavior. Please refer to the following document for more information.
Feb. 1 2013 - SDS Changes
