participate in the championship. If a team does not have a band present, it may provide a tape of
the institution’s fight song to be played at the first timeout of each game. Bands may not use
electronic amplification, unless the band comprises 10 members or less, and the amplification is
reasonable.
The display of banners is subject to the approval of the games committee. Host institution
personnel are responsible for ensuring that the content and placement of banners is appropriate.
The host institution should play electronic music from the time the doors open until the bands
begin warming up.

test negative.

that point). In the deciding game (game 5), the media timeout is called at eight (8) points. Once
one timeout has been called in a game, no other electronic timeouts may be requested. Each
