Does this "Yellow Card', that they read at the beginning of the game, state when it is appropriate for the crowd to cheer or not cheer during the game? (Ex-Bad call...During free throws) Do they hold up the card when, whoever it is, feels the crowd is being unsportsmanlike or out of control? Either way, I agree with the fact that it would kill the spirit and spontaneity of the game. I can't even imagine the fan's outcry if Region 6 ever did this I'm really curious about this "Yellow Card" and why they implemented it in the first place.

Some "genius" in Region 1 decided that the region had a problem with fans intimidating players, coaches, and officials. Before every contest a statement is read. It is fairly lengthy. The jist of it is you are being watched. If administration feels you are trying to intimidate any player, coach, or official, an administrator at their discretion will issue you a yellow card. A yellow card is a "warning". If you get this "warning" your name will be sent to all of the athletic directors in the region. If you attend another game in the region and an administrator at the game feels you are "acting badly", you can be given a "red card" as a two time "offender". This can result in having your privilege to attend Region 1 activities taken away.

Some schools are very relaxed in implementing this...I know the 'original-District 2' schools allow you to cheer and be expressive (to a positive extent) during games.

Thanks Run4Fun2009.....This sounds like a big hassle! Has this unconvention approach to crowd management worked? Has there been a noticeable change in how fans react? Sounds like just one more thing for the administrators to worry about!
