Dear Sports Weekend participants and guests,

For over 60 years, the ACYOA has strengthened the spiritual and social bonds amongst Armenian youth. One of the goals of Sports Weekend is to provide a forum for our youth to grow in their faith through worship, athleticism, and fellowship. It is the hope of the Central Council that the dignity and integrity of the ACYOA and the Armenian Church is upheld during the course of the weekend.

All participants and guests attending any activity affiliated with Sports Weekend will be held accountable for their actions. In an effort to insure a safe and enjoyable weekend for all, the following guidelines will be enforced by the Sports Weekend Committee and respective venue security/police departments throughout the weekend:

• Participants must be at least 18 years of age to attend Sports Weekend. No minors will be permitted in hotel rooms unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• Proper dress and language are expected at all times.
• Any acts of vandalism, destruction of property, or misuse of facilities, at any of the respective venues, will not be tolerated. Those found responsible for such behavior will be held financially liable.
• Destructive behavior of any sort will not be tolerated.
• Excessive noise in common areas of the hotel will not be tolerated.
• No alcohol from the outside may be brought into any of the facilities.
• The consumption of alcohol by those under the age of 21 is strictly prohibited by law, and will be dealt with in accordance with local state law.
• The use and/or distribution of controlled dangerous substances will not be tolerated and will be referred directly to the local police department.
• Any other illegal activity, as stated in the local Statutes, will be referred to the local police department for investigation and adjudication.

The hotel and any venues affiliated with Sports Weekend reserve the right to evict and/or take legal action against anyone who is disorderly or who causes damage to any property.

Individuals or chapters responsible for damages to any property or furnishings will be responsible for its repair or replacement. Any individual who disregards or is in violation of the aforementioned guidelines will be subject to disciplinary action including, but not limited to, forfeiture of weekend privileges and dismissal.

No refunds will be given to individuals who are dismissed. We hope that you understand the reasons for these guidelines, and ask for your cooperation in insuring a healthy, safe, and enjoyable weekend for all.
