In the proceedings to suspend or expel, the member so charged shall have the right to vote.

SECTION B: SUBSTANCE ABUSE

Purpose: To maintain the integrity and high standards of the NBBA presented to the public at large and to promote a positive image of the game of beep baseball.

  • Definition:

Substance abuse is defined as the excessive use of alcohol and/or any use of controlled substances during any game or related function of any sanctioned NBBA tournament or event, including the World Series.

  • A minor found under the influence or in possession of alcohol will be in violation of the controlled substance By-law and shall be treated in the same manner as the fore stated By-law.
  • A Coach or Team Manager that knowingly allows a minor to consume or possess alcohol will be in violation of the controlled substance By-law and shall be treated in the same manner as the fore stated By-law.
  • Penalty:

Any NBBA member under the influence of alcohol to the point of being disruptive at any sanctioned event will be given a warning and could be asked to leave the premises for a first offense. The second offense will result in a one-game suspension at that tournament, or the next NBBA sanctioned tournament in which his team participates. If a third offense occurs, the member will be suspended for the remainder of that tournament and all of the next tournament in which his team participates. In case of a fourth offense, the NBBA board will take the situation under consideration and will be given full power to pass appropriate punishment including membership expulsion. Any infraction will remain on record for 2 years from the date of the infraction during which time additional infractions will be cumulative. If a member does not incur additional infractions in that 2 years, the slate will be clean. Any NBBA member discovered with controlled substances in his possession, or found under the influence of such substances, will be suspended for that tournament. A second offense will result in NBBA board action with possible NBBA membership termination. Note: All disciplinary actions shall be given in writing to the offending member, his team and the NBBA.

  • Re-admittance:
