PREFACE 

MISSION STATEMENT OF THE KHSAA 

The KHSAA shall establish, promote and deliver the highest 

quality interscholastic athletic programs and activities in an 

effi cient and progressive manner that emphasize participation, 

safety, sportsmanship and integrity to enhance the educational 

experience of the student-athlete. 

The Board of Control and Staff of the Kentucky High School 

Athletic Association are looking forward to the 2010-2011 school 

year with excitement and enthusiasm. Maintaining quality athletic 

programs has been an Association goal since 1917 and the KHSAA 

has enjoyed the support and involvement of the membership in this 

endeavor since that time. 

It is a time of great and exciting change with the Association. In 

addition to a new Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner Angela 

Passafi ume, In House General Counsel Chad Collins and Information 

Technology Director Rob Catron have given the organization new 

ideas and a fresh perspective. Such information is essential as the 

Association moves forward with development of the many programs, 

activities and initiatives. 

Under the leadership of Julian Tackett, the Association’s seventh 

Commissioner, the goal of consistently operating the Association 

in accordance with sound business practices continues to ensure 

fi ancial stability. The Association has a unique opportunity to further 

expand participation and recognition opportunities to studentathletes 

as a result, a task the leadership is quick to embrace. 

Interscholastic athletics not only builds character through 

competition and sportsmanship, but it also serves as the number 

one dropout prevention program nationwide. If the Association has 

the opportunity to provide these opportunities to students while 

helping member school districts meet educational goals, it should 

use every available resource at its disposal to do so. 

The KHSAA will continue to face the usual challenges that 

confront any regulatory organization. The Association rules and 

regulations are solid philosophically and refl ect the vote and wishes 

of its member schools. The Commissioner and staff will continue 

to interpret and enforce any and all regulations approved by the 

membership and the Kentucky Board of Education. School personnel 

are to be commended for doing an outstanding job overall of 

complying with Association rules, policies and directives. 

The KHSAA is designated as the agency to manage high school 

athletics in Kentucky. Ensuring a fair and equitable environment for 

participation remains the primary focus for the Association. 

HANDBOOK REVISIONS FOR 2011-12 

Customary revision has been made to the Handbook in terms of its 

format and content. The Board of Control and the staff spent much 

of the past year focusing on the accuracy and intent of the rules and 

rules interpretations of each section of the Handbook. 

CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS 

1) Bylaw 5 academic requirement was amended to ensure that 

year to date progress is maintained by student-athletes even 

in systems where courses and subject areas change during the 

school year. 

2) Bylaw 25 was amended to change the game count in 

basketball to eliminate tournament counting exemptions. 

3) Bylaw 25 was amended to change the game count in 

volleyball to eliminate tournament counting exemptions 

4) Bylaw 25 was amended to remove the automatic requirement 

of ineligibility for tournament play from the penalty provisions 

for exceeding contest limits. 

5) Bylaw 27 was amended to comply with the provisions of 

HB327 in the Kentucky General Assembly, 2009 regarding the 

KHSAA Sports Safety Course. 

CASE SITUATIONS 

Many of the past interpretations were modernized in the terms 

of the way they are presented, without change in the application 

of the rule. Lengthy paragraphs were converted to lists for 

easy reference and for clarity. In addition, the order of the case 

situations under many bylaws were revised to allow for the case 

situations to correspond to the order of the bylaw sections. 

It should be noted that these revised interpretations refl ect past 

action in specifi c inquiries made to the Association. However if 

confl icts exist between the printed provision of the Constitution or 

Bylaws and these interpretations, the wording in the Constitution 

and/or Bylaw shall supersede the case studies. 

The following key revisions were made in 2010-2011 and are in 

effect in the interpretations: 

1) The Board of Control revised the penalties for ejections to 

concur with their July, 2011 decision to increase the penalty 

for ejection from a contest. The minimum penalty is now 2 

additional games for players (beyond the original ejection 

date) and 3 additional games for coaches (beyond the original 

ejection date) 

2) Substantial changes were made to the interpretations in 

Bylaw 25. 

Under the provisions of the Constitution that allow the Board 

to waive the period of ineligibility for disbarred competitor, the 

Board of Control allowed baseball, softball and tennis to start 

play approximately 10 days earlier so that any school that has to 

discontinue athletics due to the new testing system will not be 

placed at a disadvantage. This is also critical when the baseball 

and softball seasons shorten in 2014 due to the movement of 

Memorial Day within the corresponding date calendar. 

Interpretation BL-25-17 was substantially changed to refl ect the 

lack of defi ned limitations in Bylaw 25 on what coaches can do 

during the off-season. Previously the interpretations were overly 

restrictive as they were interpretation only (and not part of the 

rule) and could not therefore stand legal challenge. They were 

changed to allow the coach to be present with the studentathletes 

in many cases, versus the students being forced to seek 

instruction and assistance from nonschool coaches. 

BACKGROUND OF THE HANDBOOK 

This handbook is published as a service to the member schools and 

constituents of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association. During 

the year, interpretations are revised or changed and are published 

in KHSAA publications and posted on the KHSAA web site, www. 

khsaa.org. A great deal of time and effort has been spent revising 

sections of the Handbook including the bylaw interpretations, and 

clarifi cation of tournament rules and regulations. As always, should 

there be any questions or clarifi cations, feel free to direct them to 

the Association staff. 

Information printed in the directory of member schools is based 

upon completion of the periodic update and subsequent changes 

submitted in writing, via electronic means or telephone. These 

changes are refl ective of the information submitted by the member 

schools prior to Aug. 29, 2011. Each member school was notifi ed 

through its Principal and Athletic Director regarding the procedure 

for making changes. 

Information contained in the offi cials’ directory is based on 

offi cials licensing and re-licensing prior to Aug. 29, 2011. Licensing 

continues in all sports into the school year, with a higher licensing 

fee for offi cials not re-licensing prior to July 1. If a member school 

has any doubt as to an offi cials’ status, they should to contact the 

Association offi ce prior to contracting the offi cial to work a contest 

or check the KHSAA web site for information. 

School personnel are invited to inform the Association of any 

changes or inaccuracies by updating information through the 

“Member School Only” link on the Association website. Enrollment 

fi gures listed are based upon the annual report from the Kentucky 

Department of Education following the second month of the 2009- 

2010 school year, and are the fi gures which have been used to 

separate schools in the classifi ed sports. The enrollment is doubled 

for schools enrolling only one sex when classifying cross country, 

football and track in order to make comparisons to coeducational 

schools. 

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE 

In 1917 the principals of a few schools organized the Kentucky 

High School Athletic Association to regulate, develop and purify 

high school athletics. Since then each high school accredited 

by the Kentucky Department of Education has been eligible to 

join through application by the Principal and the approval of the 

local Superintendent. In 2011-12, there are 278 members of the 

Association. The Association is a self-managing entity through 

which the schools work cooperatively for the betterment of the total 

program. Delegates designated by each member school Principal 

make the rules and regulations. 

The general control is lodged with a Board of Directors, generally

referred to as the Board of Control, fourteen of which are elected 

by the member schools, and an additional four members appointed 

by the Kentucky Board of Education. The Association is operated 

under the direction of the Kentucky Board of Education and 

the Commissioner of Education. The Board of Control selects a 

Commissioner for the Association and the Commissioner hires such 

assistants as deemed necessary to administer the many details 

of the program in compliance with the 1971/1987/2008 Federal 

Court Decree. The duties and authority of the Commissioner are 

defi ned by the Constitution and Bylaws. These are as binding on the 

Commissioner and staff as they are on the member schools. 

CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF 

CONTROL 

The Board of Control has adopted a strategic plan in effect through 

the 2010-2011 school year. These declared values are considered 

when making Association decisions. The values are the basis for the 

Association philosophy and are the building blocks for the future. 

1) The opportunity for participation for all student athletes. 

2) Strong leadership at all levels within the association. 

3) Education and the role of athletics in that process. 

4) Sportsmanship and citizenship. 

5) Quality of the total program. 

6) Integrity of the membership. 

7) Professionalism and effi ciency within the organization. 

8) Fairness and consistency as it relates to the enforcement of 

rules. 

9) Accountability of the student athlete. 

10) Preservation of the heritage of interscholastic athletics. 

Following the development of these values, the Board of Control 

adopted the following goals to drive the Association operations 

through the 2010-2011 school year. 

1) Continue current successful strategies that maintain and ensure 

fi nancial stability. 

2) Operate as a support base developing plans to educate the 

member schools and affected constituencies of the policy, 

procedures, and activities of the Association. 

3) Ensure adequate staffi ng of KHSAA administration and 

continued Professional Development. 

4) Continue to monitor and audit compliance guidelines of member 

schools through the regulations set forth by the Association and 

other entities. 

5) Formulate and monitor strategies to enhance and promote the 

programs of the Association, the preservation of its history and 

the traditions of interscholastic athletics. 

6) Emphasize and promote good sportsmanship/citizenship and 

conduct at KHSAA interscholastic sponsored events and other 

activities involving coaches, offi cials, athletes and spectators. 

7) Evaluate the composition and operations of the Board of 

Control and communication systems to ensure inclusion of the 

membership. 

With these goals and objectives in mind, the Board of Control has, 

in consultation with the Commissioner, developed the following as 

goals for the Commissioner. 

1) Continue to maintain fi scal responsibility through sound 

fi nancial practices to include retiring the debt on the KHSAA 

offi ce building. 

2) Continue to address current educational and athletics trends 

that impact the KHSAA membership such as gender equity, 

school funding and size, public and non-public school issues 

and contest safety. 

3) Conduct outreach programs by scheduling required regional 

meetings for principals and other school personnel regarding 

the regulations, operations and programs sponsored by the 

Association. 

4) Continue to enhance and implement electronic communications 

systems for the benefi t of the KHSAA membership and other 

educational partners. 

a) use website, e-mail and scoreboard to communicate and 

distribute information to member school personnel. 

b) communicate special program information such as Board 

meeting agendas, tournament information and other 

Association activities. 

5) Continue development of the KHSAA Museum and Dawahares/ 

KHSAA Hall of Fame. 

a) Maintain quality programs to maximize attendance and work 

to continually improve the overall production and experience 

for the Hall of Fame inductees and those in attendance at the 

banquet. 

b) Host regional seminars throughout the state to service the 

constituency. 

KHSAA 2010-2011 ANNUAL SUMMARY REPORT

the 2010-11 school year. Five of these schools enroll girls only and 

six have only boys. Two hundred seventy-eight schools joined the 

Association for the 2009-2010 school year. 

A complete report will be submitted to the membership at the 

2011 Annual Meeting of schools.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Following are frequently asked questions that may assist you in 

your day-to-day responsibilities. Questions and answers were 

taken from the Case Situations section of the Handbook. Please 

refer to the entire Case Situations section to further assist you. 

May students have more then four years (eight (8) 

semesters) of eligibility in order to participate in 

interscholastic competition after being promoted from 

grade eight(8)? 

No, a student is eligible only for the fi rst four years (eight (8) 

semesters) after initial promotion from grade eight (8), even if 

they do not participate in athletics. 

May a student who is repeating a grade (below grade 

nine) play interscholastic sports for the middle school / 

junior high school? 

That determination is left to the discretion of the local site based 

decision-making body for the school in accordance with adopted 

SBDM policies. It has been determined and reaffi rmed by the 

Department of Education that the Association’s jurisdiction is 

presently limited to the member high schools of the Association 

and not the related middle or junior high schools. However, those 

students who are repeating a grade at any level are prevented 

in all situations from representing a KHSAA member school in a 

contest at any level (grades 9-12) during the year being repeated 

whether or not that student played interscholastic sports at any 

level during the fi rst year in the grade. 

How are credit hours and credits computed when a student 

changes from a traditional format to an alternative 

format school (i.e. 6 hour day to block schedule day) or 

vice-versa? 

A student’s eligibility status must be determined by converting 

either to or from the traditional system when dealing with 

transfer students. This must be done in accordance with accepted 

policy for computing graduation progress, and no special 

consideration can be given to student athletic participants. 

Further details on credit conversion and determination are 

contained in Case BL-5-3 in Case Situations related to the 

Bylaws. 

Whatever policy or conversion is adopted must be approved by the 

School Based Decision Making organization at the school and 

must be in place for all students and not restricted to athletes. 

What is the transfer rule (Bylaw 6)? 

Bylaw 6, Transfer Rule, states that any student who changes schools 

after enrolling in grade 9 and after participating in a varsity 

contest in any sport, shall be ineligible for one year from the 

date of enrollment. The Commissioner has very limited authority 

to waive the period of ineligibility under the circumstances 

outlined in Bylaw 6 and in the Due Process Procedure. 

What is the responsibility of a coach who has been ejected 

from a contest or is serving the mandatory suspension 

for being ejected? 

When a coach is ejected from a contest or suspended following 

a previous ejection, that person is to leave the vicinity of the 

playing area. In football and soccer for example, this means 

to leave the fi eld and stadium area; in basketball, this implies 

leaving the gym altogether; in other sports, completely leaving 

the venue. This is important so as to discourage potential 

confl ict during the remainder of the game. During a suspension 

from coaching, the coach is not to be at the game site for any 

contest. 

How shall requests for rulings be made? 

They shall be made in writing to the Commissioner, with all 

pertinent information given. Rulings will not be made on 

hypothetical cases, nor will they be made by telephone or 

through electronic mail. Offi cial rulings will only be made in 

writing. While the staff will strive to interpret the bylaws to 

aid schools in the administration of the athletic programs, any 

written ruling shall supersede and take precedence over any 

verbal interpretation. 

Are cheer coaches required to meet the sports safety 

course, medical symposium and coaching education 

requirements? 

Yes, the head coach in cheer (or both coaches if co-coaches are 

chosen) shall meet the same requirement as all sports coaches as 

outlined in Bylaw 27 including coaching education completion 

and biennial attendance at the medical symposium. 

Can student athletes from the same school participate 

together in the summer? 

Yes. As long as the participation is not in confl ict with KHSAA 

Bylaws concerning Recruitment (10), Limitation of Seasons 

(25), Dead Period (26), etc. Schools are reminded that KHSAA 

catastrophic insurance is not in effect during summer and/or 

out-of-season play. Note: July 15 is the fi rst offi cial in season 

practice date for a fall sport (see Bylaw 25 for other offi cial 

practice dates.). 

How are students transferring from out of state schools 

treated under Bylaw 6, Sec. 1? 

Students transferring from out of state schools are subject to the 

provisions of Bylaw 6 if they participated in any varsity game 

in any sport at any out of state school following enrollment in 

grade nine (9). 

Do parents have options relative to holding students back 

in grade eight? 

Kentucky Department of Education regulations place the 

responsibility for promotion or retention of a student on school 

personnel and not parents. Once “promoted” from the eighth 

grade, a student’s four consecutive calendar years (8 semesters) 

of athletic eligibility begins. 

A student repeating the eighth grade may not represent a high 

school team at any level. In addition, if parents make the choice 

to retain a student in the eighth grade after the student has 

been promoted by school personnel, then that student will lose 

his or her senior year of eligibility. 

Will the KHSAA recognize the “direct placement” of a 

student into a Kentucky school by a foreign exchange 

agency for the purpose of granting athletic eligibility? 

No, if a student is “direct placed” into a Kentucky school, that 

student will not be allowed to have the one year ineligibility 

period waived under Bylaw 7. The intent and spirit of the 

foreign exchange exception to the ineligibility period is to have 

students placed into schools on a random basis. This is further 

evidenced by the requirement that agencies must place students 

in Kentucky schools on a random basis in order to appear on the 

approved agency listing. 

For purposes of this bylaw, Direct Placements are those placements 

in which either the student or the sending organization in the 

foreign country is party to an arrangement with any other 

person, including school personnel, for the student to attend a 

particular school or live with a particular host family. Exchange 

agency representatives cannot serve as a host family for a 

student-athlete. 

It should be noted that foreign exchange students should be 

randomly placed at a variety of schools. Excessive or multiple 

student placements at one school will be scrutinized. 

Where are the rules on playing out of state schools? 

Bylaw 23 details the requirements for sanctioning and rules for 

KHSAA opponents with specifi c procedures detailed in CS BL 

23-1. 

Can a student practice or play before being ruled 

eligible? 

No. Bylaw 9 states that unless a student is eligible to participate 

in the team’s next contest, that student may not practice. This 

includes any time frame during the limitation of seasons and 

includes any participation in the two allowable scrimmages.

school’s status as an approved secondary school.

approval of the Kentucky Board of Education. Schools that originate 

from sources other than herein described shall remain in a candidacy 

status for a two-year period and shall be ineligible for postseason

of full membership. 

1) If approved by the Commissioner, the school on probationary 

status is allowed to exhaust any contest contracts that were 

signed prior to joining the KHSAA. The candidacy school may 

therefore, if approved, occasional compete non-member school 

in a contest during this period provided there was prior written 

agreement. However, once those contracts are exhausted, the 

school in candidacy status will not be able to compete against 

non-member schools located in Kentucky. 

2) The playing season in all sports will end for schools in candidacy 

status at the end of the regular season in each sport, and the 

school on candidacy status will not be eligible to compete in 

postseason play against other KHSAA schools until the end of 

the two-year period.

rules. In the sports of cross country, golf, swimming, tennis, 

track and fi eld, and wrestling, it is not necessary that the 

out of state opponents be members of the state association 

where the school is located,. The KHSAA staff can assist in 

communicating with the other state association if the KHSAA 

member school needs verifi cation prior to scheduling. 


contest against an out of state team that is not schoolbased? 


member school from participating in a contest against a nonschool 

team from out of state. 

Case C-VIII-9 - May a KHSAA member school participate 

in a contest against a non-US team (foreign) team? 

Yes, provided such event is 1) sanctioned within the policies 

and procedures of the National Federation of State High 

School Associations sanctioning rules and regulations, 2) in 

compliance with Bylaw 23, Section 2, and 3) is approved by 

the KHSAA in compliance with published instructions and 

procedures. 

Case C-VIII-10 - Are KHSAA schools required to use 

form GE14 for scheduling contests or to make written 

amendments to contracts in the case of contract 

postponement/cancellation? 

No. However, the association will not arbitrate or attempt to 

intercede in any dispute regarding a cancelled contest or 

other logistic dispute if the contest does not involve a properly 

completed and executed GE14 or its electronic equivalent 

using an alternative scheduling system. Included in the proper 

requirements are the proper signatures of the Principal or 

Designated Representative of the member schools. 

In addition, the association will not arbitrate or attempt to 

intercede in any dispute regarding a cancelled contest or other 

logistic dispute if scheduling amendments are agreed by the 

parties, but not executed in writing between the schools. 

Contract amendments verifi ed by electronic mail exchange that 

modify prior properly executed contract forms will be reviewed 

and assistance offered by the Association as necessary. 

Case C-VIII-11- What does the expression “corresponding 

date” mean as it relates to scheduling contests and 

how does it it relate to contract enforcement? 

Corresponding date charts are published for all KHSAA sports 

in an effort to aid athletic administrators in planning future 

schedules. It should be noted that contracts cannot be enforced 

by the Association that call for “corresponding dates” rather 

than specifi c playing dates.

Constitution

BYLAWS of the KENTUCKY HIGH SCHOOL 

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 













BYLAW 1. RESPONSIBILITY FOR ELIGIBILITY 

The Principal of a school shall be held ultimately responsible in 

all matters in the school that concern eligibility, and inter-school 

contests. The Principal of each member school may annually 

designate an individual at the school to serve as the Designated 

Representative for the purpose of conducting the interscholastic 

program at that school. The Principal or Designated Representative 

shall sign all forms requiring authorized signature. If a member 

school principal fails to make the designation prior to August 

31, the building principal shall automatically be the Designated 

Representative for the current year. 

Case BL-1-1- What role does the Principal play in the 

management of the Association and the regulation of 

eligibility in the member school? 

The Commissioner and Board of Control expect the member 

school principal to be ultimately responsible for all aspects 

of the athletic program, whether it is rules enforcement and 

reporting or eligibility certifi cation. It is important that each 

member school through its Principal exercise the principles 

of institutional control detailed in Bylaw 33 in order for the 

Association to continue as a fully functioning membership 

organization. 

Case BL-1-2- What are the student eligibility requirements 

as mentioned in the KHSAA bylaws? 

The KHSAA student eligibility regulations are Bylaws 2 (Physician’s 

Certifi cate), 3 (Age), 4 (Enrollment), 5 (Minimum Academic 

Requirement), 6 (Transfer Rule), 7 (Foreign Exchange), 8 

(Contestant on Other Teams, Post Season and All-Star Games), 

9 (Other Eligibility Requirements and Regulations), Bylaw 

10 (Recruitment), 11 (Practice of Sportsmanship), and 12 

(Awards). The applicability of some of these regulations (i.e. 

Bylaws 6 and 7) may differ based on participation in a Sport vs. 

Sport-Activity. See Case BL-6-9. 

BYLAW 2. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, PARENTAL CONSENT 

AND INSURANCE 

Sec. 1) Physical Examination and Parental Consent Requirements 

The Superintendent or Principal shall have each student who 

is trying for a place as a participant on an athletic team or 

cheerleading squad present a physician’s certifi cate certifi cation 

signed by a physician, physician’s assistant, advanced practice 

registered nurse, or chiropractor if performed in the scope of 

practice (as defi ned in KRS Chapter 312) which shall state that 

he or she is physically fi t to participate without undue risk. The 

parent’s consent for the child’s participation and acknowledgment 

of receipt of the eligibility rules as promulgated by the Association 

and Kentucky Board of Education regulations in writing shall also 

be required on KHSAA Form GE04. 

Sec. 2) Requirement for Insurance 

A student, prior to participation or trying for a place on an 

athletic team or cheerleading squad shall have in place medical 

insurance with coverage limits up to the deductible of the KHSAA 

Catastrophic Insurance program and that insurance shall remain 

in force throughout participation. It shall be the responsibility of 

each member school to ensure and certify that each student has 

insurance coverage throughout the school year. 

Case BL-2-1- Is it permissible for a student to participate 

in interscholastic athletics (sport or sport activity) 

during the defi ned limitation of seasons (Bylaw 25) 

without a physician’s certifi cate or written parental 

permission? 

No. Bylaw 2 requires the student to have a physician’s certifi cate 

and written parental consent and acknowledgement of the 

rules before he/she may participate in interscholastic athletics. 

The forms are provided by the KHSAA for the member schools 

and are available on the KHSAA website (GE04). The physician’s 

certifi cate is valid for one year from the examination date. 

Decisions as to the requirement for participants in out of 

season activities are at the discretion of the member school. 

Case BL-2-2- Is it permissible for other health care 

providers to perform the physical exam for high school 

athletics in addition to Medical Doctors and Doctors of 

Osteopathy? 

Yes. The exam approval form, KHSAA Form GE04, shall be 

signed by a physician, physician’s assistant, advanced practice 

registered nurse, and may also be signed by a chiropractor if 

performed in the scope of practice (as defi ned in KRS Chapter 

312). 


in interscholastic athletics (sport or sport activity) 

during the defi ned limitation of seasons (Bylaw 25) 

without medical insurance? 

No, it is a requirement to have medical insurance up to the 

Catastrophic Insurance deductible prior to trying out, 

practicing, or participating for a KHSAA member school during 

the defi ned limitation of seasons (Bylaw 25) in any sport or 

sport activity. Each member school and school district shall 

take the necessary steps to make sure that each of its studentathletes 

is insured to the limits of the deductible on the KHSAA 

Catastrophic policy, which is currently $25,000. Decisions as to 

the requirement for participants in out of season activities are 

at the discretion of the member school. 

Case BL-2-4- What is a participant as defi ned by Bylaw 2? 

A participant is a person desiring to be a member of the school 

team in a sport or sports activity and to compete in that team’s 

scrimmages or contests. This applies to all sports and sport 

activities, including cheer, whether competitive or in-game 

support. 

BYLAW 3. AGE 

Sec. 1) Age Restriction 

Pursuant to KRS 156.070 (2) (e), a student who becomes nineteen 

(19) years old before August 1 shall be ineligible for interscholastic 

athletic competition. A student who becomes nineteen (19) on or 

after August 1 shall remain eligible for the entire school year. 

Sec. 2) Waiver Provision 

The Ruling Offi cer and the Commissioner may waive the provisions 

of this bylaw and the student shall be eligible for high school 

athletics in Kentucky if the written documentation is provided to 

clearly demonstrate that the student: 

a) Qualifi ed for exceptional children services and had an individual 

education program developed by an admissions and release 

committee (ARC) while the student was enrolled in the primary 

school program; 

b) Was retained in the primary school program because of an ARC 

committee recommendation; and 

c) Has not completed four (4) consecutive years or eight (8) 

consecutive semesters of eligibility following initial promotion 

from grade eight (8) to grade nine (9). 

The Ruling Offi cer and the Commissioner shall not adopt 

administrative procedures that allow for waiver of this rule under 

any other condition. 

Case BL-3-1- Why is there an age restriction? 

To ensure equality of competition and opportunity, a standard 

must be established at some point to determine the cutoff date 

for age eligibility. Use of a specifi c cut-off date gives notice to 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

all parties involved in interscholastic athletics and maintains 

equality of participant eligibility between schools. 

An age limitation requirement: 

1) Provides commonality between student-athletes and schools 

in interscholastic competition; 

2) Inhibits “redshirting” or failing to make normal progress 

through school; 

3) Allows the participation of younger and less experienced 

players; 

4) Enhances the opportunity for more students to participate; 

5) Promotes quality of competition; 

6) Avoids over-emphasis on athletics; and 

7) Helps to diminish the inherent risk of injury association with 

participation in athletics. 

Case BL-3-2- Are rulings related to Bylaw 3 (Age) 

appealable through the KHSAA Due Process Procedure 

other than the published exception stipulated in KRS 

156.070? 

No. Bylaw 3 as approved by the Kentucky Board of Education 

expressly prohibits appeals concerning this bylaw. In addition, 

with the adoption of HB215 from the 1998 Legislative Session, 

the Kentucky General Assembly has placed this provision in 

KRS 156.070 in the form of state law with the only exception 

being the provisions passed by the 2007 Kentucky General 

Assembly. 

Case BL-3-3- How can a principal verify the age of a 

player? 

The Principal can refer to the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the state 

in which the player was born. In the absence of a state record, 

he/she shall refer to the earliest available school enrollment 

and census records. 

Case BL-3-4- What is the primary school program as 

used in KRS 156.070 (2) (e) as amended by the 2007 

Kentucky General Assembly? 

KRS 158.031 and 704 KAR 3:340 defi nes “primary school 

program” as “that part of the elementary school program 

which children are enrolled from the time they begin school 

until they are ready to enter the fourth grade” (PK-3). 

BYLAW 4. ENROLLMENT 

Sec. 1) Maximum Number of Semesters 

a) A student promoted from grade eight (8) to grade nine (9) 

shall have four (4) consecutive calendar years of eligibility from 

the date of fi rst promotion by the school provided the student 

is eligible according to this and all other Association bylaws. 

The eligibility shall conclude with the completion of the spring 

sports season following the fourth year. No additional eligibility 

may be granted in a case where the grant would allow a student 

to compete in all or part of the fi fth competitive season in a 

single sport following the initial promotion by the school from 

grade eight (8). 

b) The Ruling Offi cer and the Commissioner through the Due 

Process Procedure, may grant additional eligibility in the case 

where it has been documented by the attending physician, 

Principal and Superintendent that severe illness or injury has 

prevented the student from receiving necessary education 

services and the right to an education has therefore been 

impacted rather than simply the loss of athletic privilege. The 

grant of eligibility may only be made in the cases in which the 

student-athlete would remain eligible by all other Association 

bylaws. This provision shall not include additional eligibility 

strictly for loss of participation due to sports related injuries. 

No additional eligibility may be granted in a case where the 

grant would allow a student to compete in all or part of the 

fi fth competitive season in a single sport following the initial 

promotion by the school from grade eight (8). 

Sec 2) Ineligibility for Repeating Students 

A student having been enrolled in the fourth (4th) grade or in any 

grade through twelfth (12th) shall not be eligible for interscholastic 

athletics at the high school level (grades 9 through 12) for more 

than a total of one (1) year in each grade and applicable eligibility 

shall begin in the fi rst year enrolled in that grade. A student 

repeating a grade for any reason is ineligible to participate in 

interscholastic athletics at the high school level (grades 9 through 

12) during the second year in that grade. The penalty for violation 

of this rule shall be the loss of one of the four years of eligibility 

after being promoted from grade nine (9). Policies regarding the 

participation of repeating students at the levels of play below high 

school interscholastic athletics shall be determined by the school 

council pursuant to KRS 160.345 (2) (i). 

Sec 3) Eligibility for Participation While Enrolled Below Grade 9 

A pupil in grades 4-8 may play on the high school team if that 

participation is not in confl ict with Section (2) above, and the time 

so played shall not be counted on the eight (8) semester limit. 

EXCEPTION: A student below grade nine (9) may not participate 

on the varsity team in contests in the sports of football or soccer, 

and a student enrolled below grade seven (7) may not participate 

on the varsity level in wrestling. The provisions of this restriction 

shall not apply to non-varsity teams participating in these sports. 

Sec. 4) Responsible Parties 

Any public elementary or secondary school or school employee or 

offi cial who knowingly allows participation of an ineligible player 

under the provisions of this bylaw, or who, through reasonable 

diligence, should have known of that ineligibility, shall be 

considered in noncompliance with state accreditation standards or 

guilty of willful neglect of duty or breach of contract. This provision 

shall apply not only to coaches, but also to personnel supervising 

coaches including an athletic director, an assistant principal, 

a principal, an assistant superintendent, a superintendent, or a 

school board member. 

Sec. 5) Requirement for Enrollment 

On Friday of each grading period, a student in grades nine (9) 

through twelve (12) shall be enrolled as a full-time student in at 

least four hours of instruction as provided in Kentucky Board of 

Education regulation 702 KAR 7:125 (of the six hours of instruction 

required) or the equivalent of four hours of instruction acceptable 

to graduation at the member school he or she desires to represent 

in order to be eligible for athletics. 

Sec. 6) Deadline for Enrollment 

A student shall have enrolled as a bona fi de full-time undergraduate 

student no later than twenty (20) school days after the beginning 

of the semester to be eligible during that semester. 

Sec. 7) Enrollment Elsewhere 

A student who is enrolled or connected with any other school than 

the one he or she represents shall not take part in any contest. 

In the case of an all-boys high school, girl cheerleaders from 

affi liated neighboring girls school may be accepted. 

Case BL-4-1- Why is there a requirement that limits 

the number of semesters and stipulates a maximum 

participation requirement? 

Without a clearly defi ned limit, avenues remain open for redshirting, 

deception, legal maneuvering, and other athleticsdriven 

motivations for a student to remain in school rather 

than proceeding on into college or into the work force thereby 

denying the participation of a student who is otherwise “next 

in line” to play. 

A maximum participation requirement is in place because it: 

1) promotes timely progress toward graduation by discouraging 

students from delaying or interrupting their high school 

education; 

2) disallows students to enroll for one single semester each 

school year to increase athletic ability and skill; 

3) diminishes risks stemming from unequal competition; 

4) places emphasis on the year-long academic mission of the 

school; 

5) promotes harmony and fair competition among member 

schools by maintaining equality of eligibility affording each 

student the same number of semesters of athletic eligibility; 

6) increases the number of students who will have an 

opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics; 

7) is conducive to the prevention of red-shirting; 

8) helps avoid exploitation by coaches or boosters who otherwise 

might seek to obtain transfers or to delay a student’s normal 

progress through school; and 

9) prevents displacement of younger student-athletes by older 

students wishing to protract unfairly their high school careers. 


Case BL-4-2- Is it permissible for a school district or 

member school to adopt additional stipulations 

regarding enrollment and residence that are more 

stringent than KHSAA rules? 

Yes. While a school or school district cannot establish a standard 

that is more lenient than the KHSAA requirements, a school or 

school district may set other residence requirements. School 

and school districts may choose to address issues including 

but not limited to a strictly defi ned feeder pattern for its 

middle schools to high schools, permanent residence location 

requirements and other issues which are deemed by that 

school or school district to be needed. For those requirements 

which are more stringent than the KHSAA rules, the KHSAA 

will not be involved in enforcement of those regulations. 

Case BL-4-3- How is the determination made regarding 

eligibility under Bylaw 4 when a student comes in 

from a non-member school system in Kentucky or 

when promotion/retention records are not available? 

Students enrolling at KHSAA member schools after having been 

enrolled in non-KHSAA school districts (home school, nonmember 

school) are placed into the proper class according 

to documented procedures within the school district of the 

KHSAA member school. From that point, the provisions of 

Bylaw 4 apply and the student will have only one year of 

eligibility per remaining grade, and shall meet the provisions 

of all other KHSAA bylaws. 

Case BL-4-4- When is a waiver available under Bylaw 

4, Sec. 1 and are there legal provisions for gaining 

additional semesters for those students retained by 

the parents or due to athletic injury? 

Unless basic education services are not available to the studentathlete 

due to illness or injury, each student shall be limited to 

four consecutive years of opportunity for participation in high 

school sports. Without this clearly defi ned limit, other athleticdriven 

motivations for a student to remain in school rather 

than proceeding on into college or into the work force exist 

and thereby deny the participation opportunity of a student 

who is otherwise “next in line” to play. Additional semesters 

are available only in tightly crafted exceptions contained in the 

bylaw. 

Holding a student back and allowing the student to practice or 

play sports is strictly prohibited and goes against the basic 

principles of fair play. In addition, the repeating student at any 

level is prohibited from practice or play, and beginning with 

the fi rst promotion from grade eight (8), the four-year count 

of eligibility has begun. According to OAG82-473 opinion, 

the promotion and retention of students in all grades are the 

direct and sole responsibility of the Principal through policy 

developed by the local board of education. There are no 

provisions in the bylaws for other types of repeating in order 

to allow for additional semesters due to sports related injuries. 

Kentucky Department of Education regulations place the 

responsibility for promotion or retention of a student on school 

personnel and not parents. Once “promoted” from the eighth 

grade, a student’s four consecutive calendar year (8 semesters) 

athletic eligibility period begins. 

Verifi cation and documentation as to the retention/promotion 

decision is solely the responsibility of school personnel and will 

be based solely on the written record by the school in which 

the student was enrolled at the time of retention or promotion. 

Documentation of the promotion/retention decision may include 

such things as STI/Infi nite Campus records or other written 

documentation and shall always be available for review until 

the student graduates. 

The necessary written verifi cation shall come from the attending 

physician at the time of the injury or illness that resulted in 

deprivation of educational services. 

The KHSAA Board of Control reaffi rmed in July of 1999 that 

athletics is indeed a privilege and not a right, and in fact, 

waivers shall only be granted in the case where the right to 

basic education services is impacted due to illness or injury 

rather than simply the loss of athletic privilege. 

Case BL-4-5- Is it permissible for students to have more 

than four years (eight (8) semesters) of eligibility in 

order to participate in interscholastic competition 

after being promoted from grade eight(8)? 

No, a student is eligible only for the fi rst four consecutive years 

(eight (8) semesters) after initial promotion from grade eight 

(8), even if they do not participate in athletics during one or 

more of those years. 

The four consecutive years of eligibility in Bylaw 4, Section 1 

begin upon the earlier of “promotion” from the eighth grade 

or enrollment in grade nine. For example, if a student enrolls 

in the ninth grade after completing the seventh grade, the four 

consecutive years of eligibility begin upon date of enrollment 

in the ninth grade 

Case BL-4-6- Is it permissible for a repeating student 

to represent a KHSAA member school under any 

conditions in interscholastic athletics? 

No. Student-athletes may not represent a member school as a 

participant at any level if they are repeating a grade. 

Case BL-4-7– Is it permissible for a student who 

is repeating a grade (below grade nine) to play 

interscholastic sports for the middle school / junior 

high school? 

That determination is left to the discretion of the local school 

based decision-making body for the school in accordance with 

adopted SBDM policies. However, those students who are 

repeating a grade at any level are prevented in all situations 

from representing a KHSAA member school in a scrimmage 

or contest at any level (grades 9-12) during the year being 

repeated whether or not that student played interscholastic 

sports at any level during the fi rst year in the grade. 

Case BL-4-8- Is it permissible for students below grade 

nine (9) to participate for a high school team? 

Yes, in sports except for football, soccer and wrestling, provided 

that the elementary school, middle school or junior high school 

where the student is enrolled is under the direct administrative 

supervision of the same board of education as the member 

school the student desires to represent. If the local Board of 

Education has an adopted and enforced defi ned feeder pattern 

for the middle/junior high school students under the Board, 

participation at the high school level is restricted to the schools 

within that pattern (feeder school). See Case Situations BL- 

4-10 and BL-4-11 for special restrictions regarding football, 

soccer and wrestling. 

Case BL-4-9- Is it permissible for a local school board to 

place restrictions and limits on participation in sports 

other than football, soccer and wrestling? 

No. KRS 156.070 (2) bans the KHSAA or Kentucky Board of 

Education from implementing any prohibition on 7th and 8th 

graders participating in high school sports, and as interpreted, 

leaves that determination to the Local Board of Education or 

SBDM Council. However, that same statute and subsequent 

Attorney General Opinions specifi cally ban a prohibition against 

students playing on more than one school-sponsored team at 

the same time. Specifi cally exempted from this statute are the 

sports of football, soccer and wrestling, whose participants 

may be restricted if they are enrolled below grade nine. 

Students enrolled below grade nine (9) may not participate 

at the varsity level in football or soccer, and students below 

grade seven (7) may not participate in wrestling at the varsity 

level. Further defi nitions concerning “varsity level” in football, 

soccer and wrestling are contained in interpretations. 

Case BL-4-10- What restrictions are in place in football 

and soccer for students below grade nine (9)? 

Students in grades seven (7) or eight (8) within a feeder school 

or within the local system may not participate in any activity 

(practice, scrimmage or game) designated by either team as 

“varsity (fi rst team)” in football or soccer. These 7th and 8th 

grade students may not wear the game uniform (in whole or 

part), or be involved in pre-game activities or any other contest 

related activity prior to, during or after a varsity scrimmage or 

contest in the sports of football or soccer. Only those students

Bylaws Bylaws 

enrolled in the member school and in the 9 th grade or above 

may be involved in those activities or wear the uniform or other 

school clothing in the proximity of the team area. Students in 

grades seven (7) or eight (8) may not participate (practice, 

scrimmage or play) on non-varsity (freshman, junior varsity, 

etc.) level teams in football or soccer if any member of the 

team they are representing or the team they are competing 

against is enrolled in any grade above grade ten (10). It is 

the obligation of the school desiring to allow the seventh or 

eighth grade student to participate with the non-varsity team 

to ensure compliance with this provision. Students below 

grade seven (7) may not participate (practice, scrimmage or 

play) on any high school level team (freshman, JV, varsity) in 

football or soccer. The original provisions of this legislation by 

the Kentucky General Assembly were in place to protect these 

students from unnecessary exposure to potential injury due to 

maturation differences, in both practices and games. 

Case BL-4-11- What restrictions are in place in wrestling 

for students below grade (7)? 

Students below grade seven (7) within a feeder school or within 

the local system may not participate in any activity (practice, 

scrimmage or game) designated by either team as “varsity 

(fi rst team)” in wrestling. These students below grade seven 

(7) may not wear the game uniform (in whole or part), or be 

involved in pre-game activities or any other contest related 

activity prior to, during or after a varsity scrimmage or contest 

in the sport of wrestling. Only those students enrolled in the 

member school and in the 7 th grade or above may be involved 

in those activities or wear the uniform or other school clothing 

in the proximity of the team area. The original provisions of this 

legislation by the Kentucky General Assembly were in place to 

protect these students from unnecessary exposure to potential 

injury due to maturation differences, in both practices and 

games. 

Case BL-4-12- What does the expression “full-time 

student according to regulations promulgated by the 

Kentucky Board of Education” mean in Section 3 of 

Bylaw 4? 

The KHSAA requires students to be enrolled as full-time students 

according to the rules and regulations of the Kentucky 

Department of Education (KDE). The KHSAA expects all of 

its member schools to comply with all applicable rules from 

KDE, but the KHSAA does not become involved in enforcement 

of regulations or policies that are not a part of the KHSAA 

Handbook or other duties directly charged to the KHSAA 

through relevant regulations. The stipulation requires that 

students shall be enrolled as a full-time student (in at least 

four hours of instruction (240 minutes) out of the six hour 

instruction day) per day earning credits toward graduation. 

Case BL-4-13- For the purposes of Bylaw 4, when is a 

student enrolled at a KHSAA member school and how 

is enrollment verifi ed for a student? 

A student is enrolled at a KHSAA member school when that 

student sits for class in the new school. 

The student may be considered enrolled at the school that 

is receiving the state funding for that student. (i.e. the ADA 

appropriation or SEEK funding) 

In the case of a school that does not receive state funding, 

enrollment shall be verifi ed by documented proof of full-time 

attendance at the school. 

Case BL-4-14- How do Bylaw 4, Section 5 and Bylaw 5, 

Section 3 relate to schools with nontraditional (block) 

schedules? 

A student shall be enrolled as a full-time student (four of six 

hours) in the member school or defi ned feeder school within 

the restrictions of Bylaw 4, and passing in four full credit 

hours (240 minutes) worth of classes as defi ned in Bylaw 5. 

For example, if a student were attempting four full credits 

of one and one-half hours each, he/she would need to pass 

three (four and one half hours) worth. As another example, 

the periods are 80 minutes; he/she would need to pass three. 

It is imperative when interpreting this rule that the amount 

of credits attempted and class length is considered when 

determining the eligibility of a student-athlete as the student 

shall pass 240 minutes of class (four full credit hours). 

Case BL-4-15– What are the primary motivating factors 

in Bylaw 4, Sec. 3 and 4 requiring full-time enrollment 

at a member school? 

A student enrollment requirement promotes loyalty and school 

spirit which lends itself to cohesion of the student body; helps 

promote amateurism by drawing athletes only from each 

school’s normal student population; avoids professionalism 

and over-emphasis on athletes; discourages “team shopping”, 

which wrongfully skews the relationships among studentathletes 

and coaches; and secures role models for other 

students. An attendance requirement also helps ensure that 

students will adhere to a school’s attendance plan that, in turn, 

prompts students to maintain the academic standard required 

for participation and promotes graduation in a common time 

frame. 

Case BL-4-16- Under what conditions may the twentyday 

requirement contained in Bylaw 4 be waived? 

When it can be shown clearly that the student was prevented 

from enrolling during the twenty-day period because of 

circumstances beyond his/her control. 


for a member school while enrolled in another school 

that does not offer a particular sport? 

No, a student shall be enrolled as a full-time student and receiving 

credit through the member school at which participation 

is desired, or be a student at a “feeder” school in the same 

school district as defi ned within Bylaw 4 and its interpretations. 

Specifi c guidance as to the feeder pattern defi nitions can be 

found in Case Situations related to Bylaw 10. 

Case BL-4-18- Is it permissible for a student enrolled 

at a private or parochial school below grade nine to 

represent a member school in competition in grades 

9-12? 

Yes, if that student is enrolled as a full-time student at a “feeder” 

school as defi ned within Case Situation 10-3 (9). This provision 

requires a student to be enrolled in a school under the same 

local Board of Education as the member school at which 

participation is desired, and participation opportunities are 

further restricted if that local Board of Education has a defi ned 

feeder pattern for the schools under its jurisdiction. If the 

student is enrolled at a school that is not under the same local 

Board of Education, participation at the high school level is 

not possible. 

Case BL-4-19- Is it permissible for a student enrolled 

at a private or parochial school below grade nine 

to represent a school in competition exclusively for 

students below grade nine? 

That decision would be left to the local Board of Education of 

the public school district or its related School Based Decision 

Making organizations. 

Case BL-4-20– Is it permissible for a home-schooled 

student to participate in interscholastic athletics at a 

KHSAA member school? 

No, unless that student is also enrolled full-time (minimum four 

hours of instruction) at that local high school or under that 

local Board of Educatio. In order to represent a member school, 

a student shall be a full-time student at a KHSAA member 

school or at a feeder school under the same local Board of 

Education as the member school. 

Case BL-4-21– Are there rules regarding a home-bound 

student participating in interscholastic athletics at a 

KHSAA member school? 

Yes. In order to represent a member school, a student shall be 

a full-time student at a KHSAA member school or at a feeder 

school under the same local Board of Education as the member 

school as defi ned within Bylaw 4 and its interpretations. In 

accordance with 704 KAR 7:120, Section 2, part (6), “Eligibility 

for home/hospital instruction shall cease if the student works 

or participates in athletic activities.” Schools and school 

districts are reminded that a student who practices or plays 


in an athletic scrimmage or contest is no longer able to be in 

home bound instruction once such participation occurs. 

Case BL-4-22– Is it permissible for a student enrolled 

in an alternative, A6 or other type program school 

to participate in interscholastic athletics at a KHSAA 

member school? 

No, not unless that student is enrolled full-time (minimum four 

hours of instruction) at that local high school or under that 

local Board of Education for which they desire to participate. 

The A6 and other alternative-type schools are separate entities 

with their own unique school identifi cation numbers and data, 

and as such, are considered to be outside the scope of students 

who can participate for another school. In order to represent 

a member school, a student shall be a full-time student at a 

KHSAA member school or at a feeder school under the same 

local Board of Education as the member school as defi ned 

within Bylaw 4 and its interpretations. 

BYLAW 5. MINIMUM ACADEMIC REQUIREMENT 

Sec. 1) Proper Grade Level Requirement for Students in All School 

Districts 

On the fi rst day of each school year, a student shall be at his or 

her proper grade level. To be considered to be at the proper grade 

level, a student shall have been enrolled as a full-time student 

during the previous grading period, and shall be on schedule to 

graduate with his or her class on the fi rst day of school. For the 

verifi cation of this provision, all course work, including summer 

and correspondence work, shall be complete by the fi rst day of the 

school year for the student body. 

a) Eligibility During First Year Following Initial Enrollment in Grade 

Nine (9) 

For a student in the ninth grade to be considered to be on 

schedule to graduate, that student shall have been promoted 

from grade eight (8) to grade nine (9), and be in compliance 

with all other bylaws. 

b) Eligibility During Second Year Following Initial Enrollment in 

Grade Nine (9) 

For a student in the second year following initial enrollment 

in grade nine (9) (normally grade 10) to be on schedule to 

graduate, that student shall have received twenty (20) percent 

of the requirements of the school/district for graduation prior 

to the fi rst day of the second year following initial enrollment 

in grade nine (9), and be in compliance with all other bylaws. 

c) Eligibility During Third Year Following Initial Enrollment in Grade 

Nine (9) 

For a student in the third year following initial enrollment in 

grade nine (9) (normally grade 11) to be on schedule to graduate, 

that student shall have received forty-fi ve (45) percent of the 

requirements of the school/district for graduation prior to the 

fi rst day of the third year following initial enrollment in grade 

nine (9), and be in compliance with all other bylaws. 

d) Eligibility During Fourth Year Following Initial Enrollment in 

Grade Nine (9) 

For a student in the fourth year following initial enrollment 

in grade nine (9) (normally grade 12) to be on schedule to 

graduate, that student shall have received seventy (70) percent 

of the requirements of the school/district for graduation prior 

to the fi rst day of the fourth year following initial enrollment 

in grade nine (9), and be in compliance with all other bylaws. 

Sec. 2) One-time Reinstatement of Students Failing to Meet Normal 

Progress Requirements 

a) One-time Reinstatement of Students Failing to Meet Normal 

Progress Requirements and being ineligible for one school year. 

The eligibility of a student failing to meet the provisions 

of subsections (a) through (d) above may be reinstated a 

maximum of one time. This reinstatement is possible by the 

student passing twenty-fi ve (25) percent of the requirements of 

the district for graduation during the year he or she is ineligible. 

He or she, upon reinstatement, shall remain eligible as long as 

he or she passes twenty-fi ve (25) percent of the requirements of 

the district for graduation during each subsequent year. 

b) One-time Reinstatement of Students Failing to Meet Normal 

Progress Requirements and being ineligible for one semester. 

The eligibility of a student failing to meet the provisions of 

subsections (a) through (d) of Sec. 1 may be reinstated a 

maximum of one time in schools operating on a two-semester 

credit recording system. This reinstatement is possible by the 

student passing fi fteen (15) percent of the requirements of 

the district for graduation during the semester in which he 

or she is ineligible due to the provisions of Sec. 1. He or she, 

upon reinstatement, shall remain eligible as long as he or she 

passes fi fteen (15) percent of the requirements of the district 

for graduation during each subsequent semester or becomes 

compliant with Sec. 1 above. Eligibility to practice and compete 

in contests shall be effective with the fi rst day of the semester 

following the recording of the requirements to the student’s 

permanent record. 

c) One-time Reinstatement of Students Failing to Meet Normal 

Progress Requirements and being ineligible for one trimester. 

The eligibility of a student failing to meet the provisions of 

subsections (a) through (d) in Sec. 1 may be reinstated a 

maximum of one time in schools operating on a three-trimester 

credit recording system. This reinstatement is possible by the 

student passing ten (10) percent of the requirements of the 

district for graduation during the trimester in which he or she 

is ineligible due to the provisions of Sec. 1. He or she, upon 

reinstatement, shall remain eligible as long as he or she 

passes ten (10) percent of the requirements of the district for 

graduation during each subsequent trimester or becomes 

compliant with Sec. 1. Eligibility to practice and compete in 

contests shall be effective with the fi rst day of the trimester 

following the recording of the requirements to the student’s 

permanent record. 

Sec. 3) Continual Progress During the School Year 

On a weekly basis, a student shall be making continual progress 

during the school year in order to be eligible to participate in 

athletics during the subsequent week (Monday through Sunday 

period) and through the next opportunity to examine grades in 

this manner. Absent any other determination, this weekly check of 

grades shall be conducted on each Friday of each grading period 

or on the last day of classes preceding that particular Friday if no 

classes are conducted on that particular Friday. Special tests or 

recitations shall not to be given for the purpose of making the 

student eligible. 

To be making continual progress, a student shall have passed in 

four hours of instruction units as defi ned by Kentucky Board of 

Education regulations (of the six hours of instruction required) 

during the previous credit period that closed during the school 

year (trimester or semester). To be making continual progress the 

student shall also be passing cumulatively for the current credit 

period in at least four hours of instruction as defi ned by Kentucky 

Board of Education regulations (of the six hours of instruction 

required) or the equivalent of four hours of instruction acceptable 

to graduation. 

Sec. 4) Pre-Secondary School Students 

A pre-secondary school student (grades 4-8) participating in 

athletics representing a KHSAA member school shall be passing in 

at least two-thirds of the subjects in which he or she is currently 

enrolled and be in compliance with all other bylaws in order to 

be eligible. 

Case BL-5-1- Why is there a Minimum Academic 

Requirement as contained in Bylaw 5? 

Participants in the interscholastic athletic program are expected 

to be student-athletes. High school sports are not intended 

to be a “farm team” for college and professional sports, but 

a complementary activity to the total learning experience. 

Standards shall be in place to ensure that in addition to sports 

participation, a student shall be on schedule to graduate 

with his/her class. As class systems change (block and other 

alternative schedules), these requirements shall be continually 

reviewed to make certain that all students are meeting the 

necessary requirements to graduate from high school and be 

positive contributors to society. Athletics serves as a deterrent 

for many students to become involved in less-desirable 

elements of society. A young person shall be a student fi rst and 

an athlete second. 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

Case BL-5-2- Is it permissible for a school district or 

member school to adopt an academic standard that 

is different from the KHSAA Minimum Academic 

Requirement? 

Yes. The school or school district cannot establish a standard 

that is lower than the KHSAA minimal standard, but a school 

or school district may set a higher requirement. The KHSAA 

requirement for participation is that a student shall be at 

proper grade level, and on schedule to graduate in order to 

be eligible for interscholastic athletics and make continual 

progress during the school year. 

Schools are strongly encouraged to be sure that the normal 

promotional requirement for advancement to the following 

grade concurs with eligibility requirements for that grade. This 

will help ensure that students promoted to the next grade are 

in fact eligible in that particular grade and that the locally 

adopted standard does not fall below the requirements of 

Bylaw 5. 

Case BL-5-5- How are credit hours and credits computed 

when a student changes from a traditional format to 

an alternative format school (i.e. 6 hour day to block 

schedule day) or vice-versa? 

A student’s eligibility status shall be determined by converting 

either to or from the traditional system when dealing with 

transfer students. This shall be done in accordance with 

accepted policy for computing graduation progress, and 

no special consideration can be given to student athletic 

participants. 

In the case of a school raising or changing its graduation 

requirements, according to past meetings of guidance 

counselor focus groups, this conversion can be done by taking 

the number of credits required for graduation under the new 

system, dividing it by the number of credits required under the 

old system, then multiplying that result by the number of credits 

earned in the old system to give the student an equivalent 

number to be used in determining standing. For students 

changing from a traditional to a block system, or vice versa, it 

can also be done by taking the number of credits possible per 

year under the new system, dividing it by the number of credits 

possible per year under the old system, then multiplying that 

result by the number of credits earned in the old system to give 

the student an equivalent number to be used in determining 

standing. 

For students who have been in multiple school systems with 

multiple credit systems, the process can be done by taking 

the academic record of each school year, dividing the number 

of credits earned at the school of that particular year, by the 

For those requirements which are a higher requirement than the 

KHSAA minimum standard, the KHSAA will not be involved in 

enforcement of those regulations. 

Case BL-5-3- Are subjects or credit hours involved in the 

Scholarship Rule (Minimum Academic Requirement)? 

Credit hours (commonly referred to as Carnegie units) as 

applicable to graduation are the standard of measurement 

to be used for determining eligibility. To be eligible, a student 

shall be passing currently in the required number of full-credit 

subject hours applicable to graduation and shall be at his/ 

her proper grade level according to Bylaw 5. However, their 

equivalent in units of credit accepted for graduation may be 

substituted. All credit calculations are based on totals at the 

time the credit is recorded to the transcript. In the case of end 

of course assessments, determination shall be made once the 

fi nal credits are applied in compliance with state regulations. 

Case BL-5-4- How is Section 1 of Bylaw 5 interpreted to determine eligibility of a student on the fi rst day of school? On 

the fi rst day of school, guidance counselors or other personnel shall use the following chart to determine eligibility 

based on the local districts requirements for graduation. 

Any number of credits required which cannot be matched directly to the credits of the school shall be rounded to the next possible number. 

For example, if 9.45 is required, but the school only gives half and full credits, 9.5 would be required. If that same school only gave full 

credits, 10 would be required.

number of credits possible to have been earned that particular 

year at that school, and then taking that fractional value times 

the number of credits possible at the new school. Doing this 

calculation for each year and then adding together the results 

yields an “apples to apples” comparison in terms of credits 

needed by a student to be on schedule for graduation. 

The policy or conversion shall be approved by the School based 

Decision Making organization at the school and shall be in 

place for all students and not restricted to student-athletes. 

Case BL-5-6- Is it permissible for summer school or 

correspondence courses to satisfy the academic 

requirements of Bylaw 5, Section 1? 

Yes, due to the fact that the verifi cation date under Bylaw 5, 

Section 1 is the fi rst day of school, summer school or accredited 

correspondence courses may be used to make up a failure 

or defi ciency in the academic work of the preceding year. 

The course(s) shall be completed, grade received and credit 

recorded prior to the fi rst day of school for the student body. 

In addition, schools shall be mindful of recent changes in the 

core-content requirements for the NCAA Clearinghouse as 

certain correspondence courses previously acceptable for credit 

may not be acceptable within the core curriculum required for 

certifi cation. Though this does not at this time impact high 

school eligibility, it creates the scenario where a credit may 

apply to high school graduation, but not be applicable to 

college admission or qualifi cation. 


Case BL-5-7- If a student is ineligible at the beginning 

of the school year according to Bylaw 5, Section 1, can 

this student become eligible during the school year? 

Yes. A student may be reinstated at the end of the semester/ 

trimester depending upon the school academic curriculum 

provided that there are opportunities for the entire student 

body to add permanent credits to the transcript at those 

breaks. Schools with a semester setup (where credits are 

recorded at the end of each semester) have reinstatement 

opportunities at the end of the semester. Schools with a 

trimester setup (where credits are recorded at the end of 

each trimester) have reinstatement opportunities at the end 

of each trimester. Schools with a year-long calendar where 

credits are only recorded at the end of the year do not have 

a mid-year reinstatement opportunity for athletes ineligible 

on the fi rst day of school. A student-athlete who is ineligible 

due to failing to maintain normal progress as defi ned in 

Section 1 may have eligibility reinstated for the following and 

subsequent semesters/trimesters/years providing he/she meets 

all provisions for reinstatement in Bylaw 5. 

Case BL-5-8- Is it possible for a student to be eligible 

according to Bylaw 5 during the senior year and yet 

not graduate? 

Yes, depending upon that particular student’s class load and 

progress, he/she could be eligible by Sec. 1 of this bylaw, 

complete the required number of courses each year including 

the fi nal year, and still not graduate, and yet remain eligible 

throughout the year. This bylaw represents a minimum 

standard, and as such, schools are empowered to make a 

tougher regulation that could prevent such an occurrence. 

Case BL-5-9– When do schools perform the weekly grade 

check to determine the continual progress provisions 

of Bylaw 5? 

Each year, when a school applies for membership, school 

representatives are to designate the one specifi c day of each 

week that grades will be checked, and eligibility will then be 

determined for the subsequent week (Monday through Sunday 

period). 

Case BL-5-10– How is weekly eligibility determined for 

students who were not passing at the last grade check 

prior to breaks during the school year? 

Until school has resumed and a school has checked grades on 

the fi rst weekly grade check opportunity, any student who was 

not passing four hours of instruction as of the last valid grade 

check is not academically eligible. That student however, may 

be eligible if during the interim prior to the next weekly grade 

check, grades recorded to the permanent record are offi cially 

posted to indicate that the student did in fact pass in four 

(4) hours of instruction as required. Schools are cautioned to 

remember that KHSAA Bylaw 9 states that any student not 

eligible to play in the team’s next scrimmage or contest is not 

eligible to practice with the squad. 

Case BL-5-12– How is academic eligibility determined 

during the summer after July 15 and prior to the start 

of school? 

The academic record of each student desiring to participate in 

practice or competition in contests or scrimmages after July 15 

and prior to the start of classes in the fall shall be checked to 

ensure that the student is on schedule to graduate per Bylaw 

5, Section 1. If the student’s grades and credits in any offering 

are not a part of the permanent record, those grades or credits 

may not be used to determine eligibility. In accordance with 

Bylaw 9, a student who is not eligible to participate in contests 

or scrimmages is not eligible to practice or play. 

Case BL-5-13- Is there a special academic rule for those 

students below grade nine (9)? 

Yes, Bylaw 5, Section 4 contains specifi c language relative to the 

participation of students below grade nine (9). 

BYLAW 6. TRANSFER RULE- DOMESTIC STUDENTS 

Sec. 1) Domestic Student Transfer 

Any student who has been enrolled in grades nine (9) through 

twelve (12) and has participated in any varsity contest in any sport 

at any school following enrollment in grade nine (9) and who then 

transfers schools shall be ineligible for interscholastic athletics at 

any level in any sport for one year from the date of enrollment in 

the new school. 

The Ruling Offi cer and Commissioner have discretion (but are not 

required) to waive the period of ineligibility set forth above if one 

or more of the following exceptions in Section 2 has been met. 

Determinations of whether a student shall be granted a waiver 

pursuant to this rule shall be based on the circumstances existing 

as of the date of enrollment at the new school. 

Sec. 2) Discretionary Exceptions for Waiver 

a) BONA FIDE CHANGE IN RESIDENCE- The period of ineligibility 

may be waived if there has been a bona fi de change in residence 

by the parents and student that precedes a student’s change of 

schools. 

For purposes of this bylaw, a bonafi de change of residence 

means the moving of the permanent residence of the entire 

family of the student and the student’s parents from one school 

district or defi ned school attendance area into another school 

district or defi ned school attendance area prior to a change in 

enrollment of the student. A student who becomes emancipated 

does not have a bona fi de change of residence by virtue of his 

or her emancipation and change of residence for purposes of 

this bylaw. 

b) DIVORCE- The KHSAA shall not recognize a legal separation as 

grounds for waiver of the provisions of this bylaw. The period 

of ineligibility may be waived in the event of a dissolution of 

marriage (i.e. a fi nal and legally binding divorce decree from 

a court of competent jurisdiction) of the parents and a change 

in the residence of the student pursuant to a court order 

granting custody of the child to one of the parents with whom 

the student shall reside. In the event joint custody is awarded 

to both parents, for purposes of this bylaw, the student shall 

initially be eligible where either parent resides. 

The eligibility of a student may be restored one-time if, after 

establishing eligibility and complying with the initial court 

order granting joint custody, a student relocates to permanently 

reside with the other custodial parent. The grant of eligibility 

shall only apply to the member school in which the residence 

of the custodial parent is located. After this one time move by 

the student to the other custodial parent all subsequent moves 

between parents shall require a period of ineligibility of one 

year. 

c) CHANGE OF CUSTODY- The KHSAA shall not recognize 

guardianship or similar arrangements made, for purposes 

of this bylaw. The period of ineligibility may be waived if it is 

shown that custody of the student has been taken from one or 

both parents and given to the other parent or a third person 

by a court of competent jurisdiction and under circumstances 

indicating: (1) the parent(s) are unfi t or (2) the court fi nds that 

the health and welfare of the student would be better served by 

the change in custody. 

d) DEATH- The period of ineligibility may be waived in the event 

the death of one or both of the student’s custodial parents 

creates the circumstances that the transfer to another secondary 

school is deemed appropriate. 

e) BOARDING SCHOOLS- The period of ineligibility may be waived 

on a one-time basis for students entering a boarding school on 

a full time basis as a boarding school student. 

f) NON ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION FOR AN ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR- 

The period of ineligibility may be waived in the event that the 

transferring student did not participate in an interscholastic 

contest at any level in any sport while enrolled in grades nine 

through twelve at the sending school during the entire academic 

school year immediately preceding the change in schools. 

g) REASSIGNMENT BY BOARD OF EDUCATION- The period of 

ineligibility may be waived if the student has changed schools 

through a properly documented reassignment of the Board 

of Education to another school. To meet this exception for a 

reassignment, reasons for the assignment may include the 

closing or opening of a school due to consolidation, merger, 

opening of a new school, or another type or opening or closing or 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

assignment through KRS 158.6455 or other applicable adopted 

regulation. That assignment may be to the public school district 

should a private, parochial or independent school close. 

h) TRANSFER FROM NON-MEMBER SCHOOL – The period of 

ineligibility may be waived for a student transferring from a nonmember 

school located in Kentucky whose athletic participation 

has been limited primarily to other non-member schools. 

i) MILITARY ASSIGNMENT- The period of ineligibility may be waived 

for a student transferring in a situation where documentation 

is presented to verify that the change in education and living 

arrangements is directly related to an order from any branch 

of the United States military service, including the reserve 

components. 

Sec. 3) Specifi c Restrictions Resulting in Denial of Waiver 

Satisfying of one of the exceptions (Section 2, a through i) shall 

not be considered valid and a waiver of the period of ineligibility 

shall not be granted: 

a) If the change in schools is to nullify or circumvent the actions of 

representatives or rules of the previous school or if the student 

left the sending school under penalty which would have resulted 

in the student’s ineligibility at the sending school; 

b) If the satisfying of one of the exceptions occurs after the 

enrollment at the new school; 

c) If the change in schools is motivated in whole or part by a desire 

to participate in athletics at the new school; 

d) If the satisfying of one of the exceptions is used or manipulated 

for the purpose of gaining athletic eligibility; or 

e) If the satisfying of one of the exceptions by the student and 

the parent(s) does not reasonably precipitate a transfer to the 

new school. 

Sec. 4) Other Transferring Student Restrictions and Procedures 

a) The Commissioner’s offi ce may appoint or hire a committee or 

investigator to conduct any inquiry or investigation concerning 

any issues arising under this bylaw or any other bylaw. 

b) If any member school fi les a written objection to the factual 

validity of the certifi cation before the conclusion of the period 

of time to which the period of ineligibility would normally apply, 

along with the specifi c, detailed basis for the objection, then a 

complete investigation shall be conducted by the KHSAA and a 

ruling shall be issued through the Commissioner’s offi ce. 

c) A student enrolled in grades 4-12 who has participated in a fi rst 

team game shall not be eligible to represent a second member 

school during that school year unless that student would qualify 

for a waiver of the period of ineligibility in accordance with 

provisions (Section 2, a through i) above. 

d) A student is ineligible for athletics in this state if he or she 

transfers from another state if the student was or would have 

become ineligible in the state from which he or she transfers. 

Case BL-6-1- What is the transfer rule (Bylaw 6)? 

Bylaw 6, Transfer Rule, states that any student who changes 

schools after enrolling in grade 9 and after participating in 

a varsity contest in any sport, shall be ineligible for one year 

from the date of enrollment at the new school. There is only 

limited authority to waive the period of ineligibility under 

the circumstances outlined in Bylaw 6 and the Due Process 

Procedure. 

Case BL-6-2- Why is there a transfer rule? 

Nearly every state has a transfer rule to protect the integrity 

of the interscholastic program. These rules are necessary for 

several reasons including, but not limited to, the following 

principles: 

1) these rules prevent and deter transfers due to recruiting or 

athletic reasons; 

2) these rules protect the opportunities of bona fi de resident 

students; 

3) these rules provide a fundamentally fair and equitable 

framework for athletic competition in an academic setting; 

4) these rules provide uniform standards for all schools to follow; 

5) these rules support the educational philosophy that athletics 

is a privilege which should not assume a dominant position in 

a school’s program; 

6) these rules keep the focus of educators and students on the 

fact that students attend schools to receive an education fi rst, 

and participate in athletics second; 

7) these rules maintain the fundamental principle that a high 

school student should live at home with parents or custodian 

in the event of parental death or incapacitation, and attend 

school in the school district in which they reside; 

8) these rules reinforce the view that a family is a strong and 

viable unit and as such is the best place for students to live 

while attending high school; 

9) these rules serve as a deterrent to students running away 

from, or avoiding discipline that has been imposed; and 

10) these rules prevent manipulation of a residence change 

or other exception solely or primarily for the purpose of 

interscholastic athletics participation and serve to ensure the 

integrity of the rules adherence process. 

Case BL-6-3- What is the procedure for requesting 

a ruling on a student who has transferred in to a 

member school? 

The Receiving School is the KHSAA member school in which the 

student is enrolled and for which he/she is requesting eligibility. 

The Sending School is normally the most recent school in which 

this student was enrolled and participated in interscholastic 

athletics. However, for students who have attended multiple 

schools, the Sending School is the last school at which the 

student participated in varsity athletics after enrolling in grade 

nine (9).The following process will be utilized for students who 

transfer into KHSAA member schools following initial entry in 

grade 9. 

1) The Principal or Designated Representative of the Receiving 

school shall initiate the process of requesting eligibility by 

completing KHSAA Form GE04. The Principal or Designated 

Representative shall adhere to all instructions and verifi cations 

contained in that form, and ensure that the form is distributed 

to all required parties including the receiving school; and 

2) The Principal or Designated Representative of the Receiving 

School shall be responsible for submitting the form and all 

required documentation to the KHSAA. Upon receipt, the form 

will be reviewed by the Commissioner’s Offi ce and a ruling 

will be issued. 

Case BL-6-4- Is there any special documentation that 

needs to be sent along with the transfer request when 

the member school sends the request to the KHSAA? 

In many cases, there will be additional material that needs to be 

sent, and it is dependent upon which exception to Section 2 of 

the Transfer Rule that the member school desires to request. 

If the exception desired relates to the bonafi de change of 

residence provisions, additional written documentation may 

be required to accompany the form to verify the circumstances 

surrounding the bonafi de change which may include sales 

documents, contracts or rental agreements.. It may also be 

required that certifi cation be presented regarding the future 

use of the former residence in specifi c cases. 

If subsection (b) (Divorce) or subsection (c) (Custody change) 

exceptions are being requested, copies of fi nal court orders 

clearly showing the need for a change in schools due to the 

action of the court may be required. 

If subsection (e) (Boarding School) exceptions are being 

requested, a copy of a letter(s) from the Principal(s) or Court 

Order may be required to be submitted. 

If subsection (g) (Reassignment by Board of Education) exceptions 

are being requested, copies or the adopted Board of Education 

policies as well as meeting minutes may be required to be 

submitted. 

If subsection (i) (Military Assignment) is being requested, copies 

of the military orders may be required to be submitted. 

Case BL-6-5- What is the period of ineligibility under 

Bylaw 6 and restrictions during that period? 

The period of ineligibility under Bylaw 6 is one full year of 

ineligibility beginning on the date of enrollment at the new 

school. If a student seeking a waiver of the one year period is 

granted such waiver, and the conditions change during the one 

year following enrollment at the new school, a new ruling may 

be issued. The expectation of the published exceptions is that 

the circumstances resulting in the waiver continue to exist for 


one year. It is the obligation of school personnel to monitor the 

facts surrounding students receiving the waiver, and report to 

the Association if the circumstances change in order to request 

a new ruling. 

If an ineligible student participates in interscholastic athletics 

during the usual period of ineligibility, the KHSAA may toll 

the one year period of ineligibility after the anticipated 

expiration date in an amount of time equal to the time the 

student participated while ineligible. For example, if a student 

participates in interscholastic athletics for six months during the 

usual period of ineligibility, the KHSAA may toll the period of 

ineligibility after the anticipated expiration date for six months. 

Depending on the circumstances of each case, this time might 

be applied immediately after the expiration of the normal oneyear 

period of ineligibility or delayed until a particular sports 

season. This interpretation is necessary, fair and reasonable 

because the ineligible student may have participated in and 

affected the outcome of games, including tournament games, 

that cannot be replayed and deprived properly eligible student 

of opportunities to participate that cannot later be restored. 

Case BL-6-6– At what point are the facts to be determined 

when a ruling is to be made in a Bylaw 6 case? 

Determinations of whether a student shall be granted a waiver 

pursuant to this rule shall be based on the circumstances 

existing as of the date of enrollment at the new school 

Case BL-6-7– When is a student enrolled at a KHSAA 

member school for the purposes of Bylaw 6? 

A student is enrolled at a KHSAA member school when that 

student sits for class in the new school. 

In addition, a student may be considered enrolled at a KHSAA 

member school when the student registers at the new school, 

is on the student enrollment listing of a member school, and 

not on the listing of another school. 

In the case of enrollment during periods when classes are not 

being held (i.e. summer), the student may be considered to 

be enrolled at the new school when formal application has 

been made and accepted as verifi ed by the new Principal. The 

student shall also at that time be offi cially withdrawn and off 

the enrollment listing of the former school. 

Case BL-6-8- What is a domestic student as defi ned in 

Bylaw 6? 

A domestic student is a resident of one of the fi fty United States 

or the District of Columbia. All other persons shall be subject to 

the provisions of Bylaw 7, Non-Domestic students. 

Case BL-6-9- What does the word “sport” as used in Bylaw 

6 represent with respect to athletic participation and 

the applicability of Bylaw 6? 

The Board of Control has directed that the provisions of Bylaw 

6 that call for participation in a varsity sport as a determinant 

restricts application to those sports which the KHSAA sanctions 

and these are separate and apart from Sports Activities. 

“Sport” includes baseball, basketball, cross country, football, 

golf, soccer, softball (fast pitch), swimming, tennis, indoor and 

outdoor track, volleyball and wrestling. Sport Activities include 

bowling and cheerleading. Bylaw 6 and 7 do not apply to those 

students whose participation is solely in Sport Activities. 

Case BL-6-10– Is there a link between Bylaw 6 (Transfer 

Rule) and Bylaw 10 (Recruiting) as for the enforcement 

by the Association? 

No. These are separate and distinct bylaws. However, it is 

possible that a transferring student could have a change in 

residence or meet another documented exception and still be 

ineligible if a Bylaw 10 violation is determined in the case. And, 

the absence of a Bylaw 10 violation (recruiting) does not relate 

to the enforcement of Bylaw 6. 

Case BL-6-11- Is a student immediately eligible who has 

played interscholastic sports (varsity, grades 9-12) 

when he/she moves in from out of state and the family 

has also moved? 

No, each student who changes schools after enrolling in grade 

nine and representing a varsity team shall be ruled eligible in 

order to try-out, practice or play with / for the team. 

If a student has played for an out of state school or an in-state non 

member school and has represented that school at the varsity 

level against other schools in interscholastic competition, then 

the student is subject to the provisions of Bylaw 6. 

Case BL-6-12- What is a boarding school as defi ned in 

Bylaw 6, Sec. 2(e)? 

A boarding school is defi ned as a school that has an enrolled 

resident boarding school population in the ninth through 12 th 

grades of at least ten (10) percent of the full-time student body. 

A boarding school shall have appropriate dormitory facilities 

to house, feed and provide general living accommodations for 

boarding students, and shall have properly trained supervisory 

personnel on duty at all times. 

A boarding school shall be recognized as a boarding school in its 

own literature and shall be verifi ed by the Kentucky Department 

of Education or the Southern Association of Colleges and 

Schools. A boarding student, to qualify for the exception, shall 

spend at least an average of fi ve (5) days per week living and 

boarding on campus while school is in session. 

Only those schools that qualify as boarding schools as defi ned 

herein may provide any assistance for room and board to 

students who participate in interscholastic athletics and only if 

such assistance is based on fi nancial need. In no other schools 

may room and board expense be included in the determination 

of school expenses and fi nancial need. 

Case BL-6-13- Are there restrictions on coaches or 

other individuals within a school being involved with 

students who are seeking the exception under Bylaw 

6, Sec. 2(e)? 

Coaches and other individuals employed by or associated with 

a boarding school’s athletic program shall not serve as the 

boarding supervisor or otherwise live with boarding students 

in school housing. 

Case BL-6-14- What verifi cation is desired by the Ruling 

Offi cer/Hearing Offi cer/Commissioner when a student 

is seeking eligibility under Bylaw 6, Sec. 2(e)? 

The Ruling Offi cer/Hearing Offi cer/Commissioner may seek 

verifi cation that the move to or from the Boarding school is 

by directive of the Principal (sending) or an order from a court 

of competent jurisdiction in order for exception (e) to apply. 

There may also be addition evidence requested to support the 

request for a waiver. 

Case BL-6-15- Is it required that students who have not 

competed for a complete school year have a transfer 

form completed? 

Yes. Even if the school has knowledge that the student would 

qualify for exception (f) of Sec. 2 of Bylaw 6, a transfer form 

shall be completed so that this can be verifi ed in writing. The 

same is true of athletes who enroll at a receiving school and 

subsequently do not play during the next calendar year. Even 

though the rule allows for them to be eligible after one year, a 

transfer form shall be completed. However, if the student has 

not competed for an entire school year as verifi ed on the form, 

no ruling from the KHSAA is necessary and the student may be 

considered eligible. 

Case BL-6-16- How are magnet schools and board 

selected program enrollments interpreted with regard 

to Bylaw 6, Sec. 2 (g)? 

The Association attempts to ensure that its regulations are 

not an inhibitor to a school trying a creative, magnet, and 

traditional or other type of special program for student or 

school improvement. Representatives of those local boards of 

education shall ensure that the listing of magnet, traditional, 

ROTC, and other selective, board approved and designated 

programs are submitted to the Commissioner’s offi ce where 

they will remain on fi le to ensure the accurate processing of 

such requests. 

Case BL-6-17– Does Bylaw 6, Sec. 2(g) allow for automatic 

exception waiver of the period of ineligibility for 

students transferring due to the provisions of No Child 

Left Behind? 

No, there is no specifi c exception enumerated within the rule. 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

However, transfers in these situations are handled on a case 

by case basis through the KHSAA Due Process Procedure by 

reviewing exception (g) of Bylaw 6 and documentation will 

be requested as to the directive from the Superintendent 

regarding such transfer and the specifi c school to which the 

student is assigned. 

Case BL-6-18- How is Bylaw 6 interpreted in the case of a 

school consolidating or splitting into multiple schools? 

The action by the local Board of Education in the opening of a new 

school or closing of the old schools will automatically apply the 

provisions of Bylaw 6, Section 2, exception (g) without forms 

needing to be processed by the KHSAA. 

When multiple schools are consolidated within a district, the 

students entering the consolidated school are considered 

eligible at the consolidated school under this exception, 

provided they are eligible to attend the consolidated school per 

local board of education policy. Subsequent to the fi rst day of 

school, the KHSAA transfer rule provisions shall apply. 

In the case of a member school splitting into multiple schools 

within a district, the students shall be eligible at the school 

assigned by the board of education or the school where the 

student fi rst attends within the district if such attendance and 

eligibility is allowed under local board of education policy.. 

Subsequent to the fi rst day of school, the KHSAA transfer rule 

provisions shall apply. 

Case BL-6-19- How is Bylaw 6 applied to out of state 

students, and does exception (h) in Section 2 of Bylaw 

6 apply to students transferring from out of state 

schools? 

Students transferring from out of state schools are subject to the 

provisions of Bylaw 6 if they participated in any varsity game 

in any sport at any out of state school following enrolment in 

grade nine (9). 

Exception (h) is not available for students transferring from out 

of state schools. “Non member school” in Bylaw 6, Sec. 2 (h) 

means a school located in Kentucky that is not a member of 

the KHSAA. This exception was passed by the KHSAA member 

schools in an effort to accommodate students who had been 

enrolled at small schools located in Kentucky that were not 

members of the KHSAA and had participated against similarly 

situated schools. 

Case BL-6-20– Is there a special exception allowing for 

a waiver of the period of ineligibility for students 

transferring due to a change in military status for the 

custodial parent(s)? 

Yes. Exception (i) in Section 2 specifi cally allows for eligibility 

to be granted in the cases where it can be documented that 

the change in education is directly related to an order from 

any branch of the United State military service, including the 

reserve components. Specifi c verifi cation may be requested, 

including but documentation of a Permanent Change of Station 

or Change of Duty Status. 

This exception may also be applicable in the case where transfer 

is made necessary by implementation of the Interstate Compact 

on Education Opportunity for Military Children. 

Case BL-6-21- What does “reasonably precipitate” mean 

under Bylaw 6, Sec. 3 (e) and can a student delay 

enrolling at the receiving school if the family changes 

residence during the middle of a grading period? 

The bonafi de change of residence exception in Bylaw 6, Sec. 2(a) 

is not available if the change in residence by the student and 

the parents does not “reasonably precipitate” the transfer to 

the receiving school (see Sec. 3 (e)). “Reasonably precipitates” 

means, among other things, that a student cannot delay 

transferring after a change in residence for an unreasonable 

amount of time. 

The “reasonably precipitates” provision gives the Ruling Offi cer/ 

Commissioner discretion to waive the period of ineligibility 

under Bylaw 6, Sec. 2(a) if the change in residence occurs at 

a point during a grading period (semester) when the student 

would incur academic diffi culties to transfer schools provided 

that the student transfers schools at the next available grade 

period (semester) break. A student who delays transferring until 

after that time will not have had a change in residence that 

“reasonably precipitates” the transfer of schools. 

The “reasonably precipitates” provision also gives the Ruling 

Offi cer/Commissioner discretion to waive the period of 

ineligibility under Bylaw 6, Sec. 2(a) if the change in schools 

is due to a change in military orders for the custodial parent(s) 

of the student-athlete as verifi ed by the documented change in 

orders provided by the particular branch of service. 

In addition, it should be noted the “reasonably precipitates” 

language also refers to the timing of the transfer as it relates to 

any documented exception. The rule as written and interpreted, 

calls for the exception being satisfi ed (i.e., residence change, 

divorce, custody action, etc.) to occur fi rst, and thereby result 

in the need to change schools. The documented exceptions are 

not published to provide a guide for circumvention of the oneyear 

period of ineligibility, but rather to show that there are 

instances where changing circumstances necessitate a change 

in schools. 

Case BL-6-22- Is it permissible for a student who changes 

schools during a season to represent a second school in 

the sport that year? 

No, he/she is ineligible under the provisions of Bylaw 6, Section 

4 (c). The Ruling Offi cer/Commissioner may waive the period 

of ineligibility only under the specifi c enumerated exceptions 

outlined in Bylaw 6, Section 2. 

BYLAW 7. TRANSFER RULE- NON-DOMESTIC STUDENTS

Sec. 3) Students Not Coming Through Exchange Programs 

Any student desiring to participate in athletics who does not meet 

the criteria listed in Bylaw 7 may seek a waiver of the one-year 

ineligibility period through the KHSAA Due Process Procedure. 

Case BL-7-1- What are the approved programs for 

Foreign Exchange Students? 

Students placed in KHSAA member schools by the United 

States Department of State may be declared eligible by the 

Association. In addition, the Board of Control has adopted 

the list provided by the Center for Standards of International 

Educational Travel (CSIET). For more information, contact 

the CSIET website by going to http://www.csiet.org/. An 

agency may be removed from the listing at any time for noncompliance

Case BL-7-2- Will the KHSAA recognize the “direct 

placement” of a student into a Kentucky school by a 

foreign exchange agency for the purpose of granting 

athletic eligibility? 

No, if a student is “directly placed” into a Kentucky school, that 

student will not be allowed to have the one year ineligibility 

period waived under Bylaw 7. The determination concerning 

direct placement is made based on the facts present at the 

time of the ruling. The intent and spirit of the foreign exchange 

exception to the ineligibility period is to have students placed 

into schools on a random basis. This is further evidenced by 

the requirement that agencies shall place students in Kentucky 

schools on a random basis in order to appear on the CSIET 

approved agency listing. 

For purposes of this bylaw, Direct Placements are those 

placements in which either the student or the sending 

organization in the foreign country is party to an arrangement 

with any other party, including school personnel, that arranges 

for the student to attend a particular school or live with a 

particular host family. Direct placements shall also include any 

situation where any placement agent is also acting as the host 

family. 

Case BL-7-3- How does a foreign student not coming 

through an agency request eligibility? 

A foreign student who does not come through an approved 

Foreign Exchange Agency shall directly apply to the KHSAA for 

an eligibility determination under the documented provisions 

of the KHSAA Due Process Procedure. The Hearing Offi cer has 

the discretion (but is not required) to recommend a waiver of 

the period of ineligibility per the KHSAA Due Process Procedure. 

Appeals of this type should be directed to the KHSAA, 2280 

Executive Drive, Lexington, KY 40505. 

BYLAW 8. BASKETBALL/FOOTBALL CONTESTANTS ON 

OTHER TEAMS, POST SEASON AND ALL-STAR GAMES 

Any student who, after enrolling in grade nine (9), has been a 

contestant in football or basketball at any level (grades 9-12) and 

has eligibility remaining in that sport may not participate on any 

non-school sponsored team or in any all-star game in that sport 

or any variation of that sport from the fi rst day of school through 

the last scheduled contest played in that sport (including KHSAA 

sanctioned postseason) by that school unless it has been sanctioned 

by the Board of Control. 

Following the team’s last scheduled game (including post season), 

there are no restrictions on play in that specifi c sport for the studentathletes. 

Case BL-8-1- For the purposes of Bylaw 8, when are the 

seasons for basketball and football? 

For the interpretation of this rule, the basketball and football 

seasons are considered to start on the opening date of school. 

Student-athletes who have both been enrolled in grade nine, 

and participated in a contest at the high school level (freshman, 

JV or varsity) cannot participate in outside competition during 

this time. 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

Case BL-8-2- How do schools report inadvertent 

violations of this rule by a student-athlete? 

It is the obligation of a member school to promptly report any 

violation of KHSAA rules to the Commissioner’s offi ce in 

writing regardless of circumstance. The student is immediately 

ineligible to continue representing that school until the 

Commissioner’s offi ce can consider the matter. 

Case BL-8-3- Does Bylaw 8 apply to participants in any 

sport other than basketball or football? 

No. There are no restrictions on the student-athletes in sports 

other than football and basketball as it relates to outside 

competition during the season or prior to the season beginning. 

No member of the coaching staff at the high school level may 

be involved in the coaching of any student representative of 

that school in outside competition. 

Case BL-8-4– Is it permissible for a student who has not 

yet represented a school in basketball after enrolling in 

grade 9 to then play in an outside league in basketball 

during the school year prior to the season? 

Yes, Bylaw 8 does not restrict student-athletes until he/she has 

been enrolled in grade nine and played for a team in a contest 

at any level (grades 9-12) within the school. 

Case BL-8-5– Is it permissible for a football or basketball 

player who has been enrolled in grade 9 or above and 

then represented a member school at any level to 

participate in an organized outside contest after the 

start of the school year to the end of the high school 

season? 

No. From the fi rst day of school through the end of the high 

school season, these student-athletes may not compete in any 

organized game type competition setting (where score is kept 

or posted, or offi cials are present). 

These provisions do not prevent individual athletes, at his/her 

own expense from attending individual instructional activity. 

Such activity may include individual play, skill development, 

drills or “pick-up” type of scrimmage action, but players may 

not be assigned to teams or groups in these activities except in 

a random manner and the activity shall be treated at all times 

as “open” play. 

Case BL-8-6- Are there any exceptions to the participation 

restrictions in Bylaw 8 for females in fall basketball 

exposure events? 

Yes. Due to the fact that current NCAA rules allow for an 

opportunity within Bylaw 8 for boys’ basketball players with 

eligibility remaining to attend and participate in activities that 

are basketball-specifi c and a comparable opportunity does not 

exist for females due to existing NCAA rules and restrictions, 

the Commissioner and Board of Control have previously 

ruled that an exception be allowed. That exception allows 

girls’ basketball players with eligibility remaining and having 

previously participated at any level on a high school team, to 

travel to and participate in, activities during the fall NCAA open 

evaluation period for non-scholastic events. The specifi c dates 

for such a period are available through the NCAA website, and 

for 2011-2012 are October 7-9. 

Case BL-8-7- Are there any exceptions to the restrictions 

contained in Bylaw 8 for participants in offi cially 

sanctioned Olympic Development Activities? 

Yes. The Board of Control has authorized the Commissioner to 

consider, on a case by case basis, waivers to any restrictions 

contained in Bylaw 8 and Bylaw 25 that would allow 

participation by an enrolled student or employed coach in 

offi cially sanctioned U.S. Olympic Development activities. Such 

organizations as USA Basketball, USA Track and Field and other 

similar groups that have offi cially sanctioned activities can 

request, through the appropriate member school, that these 

restrictions be waived and participation allowed. 

BYLAW 9. OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND 

REGULATIONS 

Sec. 1) Graduates and College Students 

Any student who has graduated from a secondary school, or who 

has ever played on a college team, is thereafter ineligible to play 

on a high school team. 

Sec. 2) Practice of Ineligible Students 

Unless ineligible due to the provisions of Bylaw 11 (Sportsmanship, 

having been ejected from a contest), any student who is not 

eligible for competition during a team’s next contest/meet/match/ 

game shall not practice with the team. 

Sec. 3) Conduct- Student or Other Representative Under Penalty 

Any student, contest offi cial or other offi cial school representative 

who is under penalty or discipline or whose conduct discredits the 

school or the KHSAA shall not be eligible. 

Case BL-9-1- Is it permissible for a student to play on 

a school team after he/she has graduated from high 

school? 

Yes, but only to complete the spring sports season including 

baseball, softball, tennis, and track of the student-athlete’s 

senior year. Any participant is eligible to continue participating 

in KHSAA sponsored state championship competition even if 

their spring semester has ended or graduation has been held. 

Only students eligible during as of the fi nal weekly grade check 

may compete on any of the teams mentioned. 

Case BL-9-2- Is it permissible for a student who is not 

eligible to participate in a game practice with the 

team? 

No. If a participant is ineligible he/she may not try-out, practice, 

or participate in games or scrimmages until eligible and 

minimum practice periods (i.e. ten days for football) do not 

begin accumulating until the ruling is complete. In addition, 

those students may not be issued any competition equipment 

necessary for the sport or any other items specifi c to 

participation in the sport. 

Ineligible persons practicing with the team or participating in any 

manner while representing the school potentially jeopardize 

the insurance coverage, including catastrophic and liability 

insurance, of all participants and the liability coverage of the 

school and school system. The only exception to this policy is 

the allowable practice of otherwise eligible students who are 

not eligible for the team’s next contest due to the penalty for 

sportsmanship violations (Bylaw 11) 

Case BL-9-3- Does the Association have an adopted 

stance regarding sexual harassment and other 

inappropriate behavior by representatives of the 

athletic staff? 

Yes, the Board of Control has adopted the policy that if any 

complaints regarding sexual harassment or other inappropriate 

behavior are reported or discovered by representatives of the 

Association, such shall be referred to the employing school 

superintendent for action. 

BYLAW 10. RECRUITMENT 

BYLAW 10. RECRUITMENT 

Sec. 1) Foreword 

A pupil (domestic or foreign) at any grade level shall not be 

recruited to a member school of the KHSAA for the purpose of 

participating in athletics, including recruitment under the guise 

of academics. 

Sec. 2) Defi nition 

Recruiting is defi ned as an act, on behalf of or for the benefi t 

of, a school, which attempts to infl uence a student to transfer to 

a member school for the purpose of participating in athletics. A 

school offi cial utilizing an intermediary including a peer, another 

school employee, a student, a parent or a citizen, for the purpose 

of recruiting a student athlete shall be in noncompliance. 

a) An athletic coach or any other member of the school staff shall 

not infl uence a student even if the student, his or her parents or 

any intermediary from another school makes the initial contact. 

In this situation, a coach or staff member (paid or unpaid) 

should immediately refer the person(s) to the school principal. 

b) Infl uencing a student shall include the promise or instilling the 

expectation of an athletic advantage, playing time, employment 

of the student or the student’s parents or relatives, housing for 

the student or the student’s parents, scholarships or fi nancial aid 

for which other members of the student body are not generally 

eligible, or any other material or athletic reward for which other 


members of the student body are not generally eligible. 

Sec. 3) Penalty 

Any representative of a member school knowingly allowing the 

recruitment of a student for the purpose of participating in athletics 

or who should have known of this recruitment shall be guilty of 

willful neglect of duty, misconduct, or breach of contract. This 

shall apply not only to coaches, but also to personnel supervising 

coaches, including an athletic director, an assistant principal, 

a principal, an assistant superintendent, a superintendent or 

a school board member. This requirement shall also apply to 

students or their parents. 

Case BL-10-1- Why does Bylaw 10 (Recruiting) exist? 

The major reason for Bylaw 10 and its interpretations is to attempt 

to maintain a level playing fi eld. The major enforcement theme 

is not only “initial contact”, but rather is “exceeding what is 

normal and appropriate.” 

Initial contact as it applies to student-athletes can be a violation, 

but is only one of many things that can exceed what is normal 

and appropriate. One of the primary keys is not treating 

“athletes” or “prospective student-athletes” differently than 

students who are not athletes. Students are not to be singled 

out based on their potential athletic ability. 

High school athletics is not the same as colleges recruiting high 

school athletes for college athletics. High school athletics 

exist for an entirely different reason. High school coaches 

should not view high school students in the same manner as 

college coaches view high school seniors. All administrators 

and coaches shall realize that they have more responsibilities 

than the general public to understand the purpose of high 

school athletics, the principles behind KHSAA rules etc., and to 

maintain a level of understanding and purpose when dealing 

with the general public and students. 

Case BL-10-2– Who are considered school representatives 

or those with a direct connection to a member school? 

School representatives or those with a “direct connection” 

include, but are not limited to: coaches or others connected 

with the high school or high school team to include booster 

club parents and members, alumni, school board members 

and offi cers, parents of high school players, booster club 

representatives and students. 

Case BL-10-3– What are permissible contacts by 

coaches, athletic directors and other individuals 

with a connection (direct or indirect) to the athletic 

program or school? 

Permissible contacts include: 

1) Public high school representatives contacting students at 

feeder public schools (elementary, middle school, junior high 

school) where there is a defi ned feeder pattern; 

2) Non-public school representatives contacting students at 

feeder non-public schools (elementary, middle school / junior 

high school) where there is defi ned feeder pattern; 

3) A representative of the school may initiate a meeting with 

students at a school that is defi ned as a feeder school or 

meet with students who are zoned to attend that school the 

following year. This visit shall be cleared by principals of both 

schools and shall not be specifi c to athletic opportunities; and 

4) Any student or family or individual that contacts a coach 

about attending a school where he or she coaches shall 

be informed that they need to be referred to the principal, 

admissions department or guidance department if they have 

an interest. Any meeting with coaches regarding athletes or 

prospective athletes or their families shall be at the request of 

the family to the individual(s) responsible for admissions and 

shall take place at the school. 

Case BL-10-4- What is impermissible contact and what 

are some examples prior to enrollment (neither 

enrolled in the school nor enrolled in a feeder school 

under the same Board of Education) by coaches, 

athletic directors and other individuals with a 

connection (direct or indirect) to the athletic program 

or school whether or not the prospective student has 

an athletic participation record? 

A person or persons exceeding what is appropriate or normal 

or offering any incentive or inducement to a student or the 

student’s family with or without that student having an 

athletic participation record shall be considered in violation. 

Impermissible contact includes but is not limited to any contact 

between a parent or student and a member school coach or 

other athletic representative without an immediate referral 

to the appropriate school personnel (Principal, Guidance 

Counselor, Admissions Personnel or other non-athletically 

related school administration). 

The fact that a student or student’s family has shown an initial 

interest (such as signing up for mentoring, shadowing, testing 

or a facility tour) does not allow any member of the coaching 

staff or anyone else affi liated with that athletic program to be 

involved with that student until the student is fully enrolled 

at the school. 

Specifi c examples of impermissible contact include: 

1) Contact or communication concerning potential enrollment 

or athletic participation at the school, other than the initial 

referral to school administration if approached by the family 

or the student; 

2) Contact concerning potential enrollment at the school which 

is initiated by a coach or others with a connection to the 

athletic program; 

3) Contact by individuals (including the parent of a current 

player) who might be interested in the school’s athletic 

program that attempts to infl uence a student or his/her 

parents; 

4) Coaching, managing and or otherwise directing sportsspecifi 

c athletic activities in which the non-enrolled student 

is a participant outside of the scope and allowable contact 

periods contained in Bylaw 25; 

5) The use of school facilities, uniforms, transportation or 

equipment including other “school team opportunities”, 

such as tournaments and leagues; 

6) High school exhibit and or promotion space or materials 

specifi c to the schools’ athletic program or a specifi c athletic 

team; 

7) Attending grade school, junior high or middle school games 

for the purpose of evaluating specifi c student-athletes, for the 

purpose of promoting the member school’s athletic program, 

or at a time when non permitted by Bylaw 25; 

8) Contact prior to, during, or after scrimmages or contests at 

elementary schools, middle and junior high schools except 

where there is the same defi ned feeder pattern involving the 

schools; 

9) Requesting students, parents, boosters or alumni from a 

school to discuss the merits of a school’s athletic program 

with a prospective student-athlete or member of his/her 

family; 

10) Providing transportation or other inducement to take a 

qualifying examination at a school or to meet with school 

offi cials, etc.; 

11) Entering into discussions or offers of fi nancial aid whether 

or not that aid is available to the general student body; 

12) Contacting any prospective student athlete (at any grade 

level above, in or below grade 9) or his/her parents/family by 

phone, email fax, in person, by letter or by other means; 

13) Making athletic facilities (including weight rooms and other 

training facilities) available during the school year; 

14) Non-public school representatives contacting students 

enrolled at the public schools (or his/her family) without 

permission of the public school principal. Permission for 

such contact in any case, shall come from the feeder school 

principal and shall be approved by the KHSAA member school 

principal; and 

15) Public schools representatives contacting students enrolled 

at non-public schools (or his/her family) without permission of 

the private school principal. Permission for such contact in any 

case, shall come from the feeder school principal and shall be 

approved by the KHSAA member school principal. 

NOTE: It is not considered a violation for a coach or other school 

representative to have normal community contact with a 

student who attends a junior high or middle school of the

same system that is a feeder to the high school at which the 

coach is employed to coach. 

Case BL-10-5- What are some examples of impermissible 

benefi ts that may not be provided to student-athletes 

or prospective student-athletes (or his/her family 

members) by coaches, athletic directors and other 

individuals with a connection (direct or indirect) to the 

athletic program including the booster organization? 

No special benefi t may be given to student athlete or prospective 

student athletes (below grade 9, or grades 9-12) including: 

1) Money or any item of tangible benefi t or other valuable 

consideration such as free or reduced tuition, room, board, 

textbooks, or clothing during the regular school year or 

summer school; 

2) Offer or acceptance of any benefi t (fi nancial or otherwise), or 

privilege not afforded to non-athletes; 

3) Offer or acceptance of employment opportunity (including 

summer or non-school period work), or pay for work that is 

not performed or that is in excess of the amount regularly 

paid for such service; 

4) Offer or acceptance of free transportation; 

5) Offer or acceptance of a residence or housing provisions, free 

or reduced rent, moving expenses, or assistance in locating 

housing; 

6) Offer or acceptance of help in securing a college athletic 

scholarship; 

7) The host family or other community representative paying or 

the housing of a non-domestic student except for the host 

family’s primary domicile or paying any required fees for the 

transportation, registration or placement of a non-domestic 

student; 

8) Underwriting travel fees or providing transportation to a nonenrolled 

student to a school function; 

9) Special gifts including apparel representative of the school or 

school’s athletic interests; 

10) Paying the entry fee for camps or competition events for 

students to participate who are not enrolled within that 

schools’ defi ned feeder pattern; and 

11) Offering opportunities for non-enrolled students outside the 

defi ned feeder pattern to use free passes or tickets to attend 

high school athletic scrimmages or contests. 

BYLAW 11. PRACTICE OF SPORTSMANSHIP 

Sec. 1) Sportsmanship Obligation 

It is the clear obligation of principals, coaches, faculty members, 

boards of education, and all offi cial representatives of member 

schools to practice the highest principles of sportsmanship and 

the ethics of competition in all interscholastic relationships 

with fans, offi cials, players, coaches, offi cial representatives of 

member schools, and the general public. The Commissioner and 

the Board of Control shall have the full authority to suspend the 

coach, student, or any member school whose representatives 

may be convicted on competent evidence of the violation of this 

obligation. Any violation of this rule in any interscholastic contest 

shall be immediately reported to the Commissioner’s offi ce by the 

principal(s) of the school(s) involved, and by the game offi cials 

who work in the contest. 

Sec. 2) Illegal Equipment 

It shall also be considered a violation of this rule if any school 

or school representative(s) uses or allows the use of illegal 

equipment which gains a competitive advantage in the contest 

and which is expressly prohibited by the rules adopted for that 

sport. A violation of this provision may result in penalization by 

the Commissioner’s offi ce in accordance with the provisions of 

this bylaw and in accordance with KHSAA Bylaw 33, Penalties. 

Sec. 3) Requirement for Reinstatement 

Any student, coach, or offi cial team representative ejected from 

an interscholastic contest due to a violation of this obligation 

shall be reinstated by the Commissioner or one of the Assistant 

Commissioners prior to returning to interscholastic contests. Any 

student or coach using insulting language to another player or 

coach or to any offi cial in any interscholastic contest, or who has 

been ruled out of a contest because of unsportsmanlike tactics, 

shall be disqualifi ed from athletic competition until reinstated by 

the Commissioner or one of the Assistant Commissioners. 

Sec. 4) Reporting Requirement and Permanent Suspension 

The name of the student or coach shall be reported to the 

Commissioner’s offi ce by the principal of the school that student 

attends. When an offi cial disqualifi es a student or coach, he or 

she shall report the disqualifi cation to the principal or his or her 

representative and to the KHSAA offi ce. If the Commissioner fi nds 

upon investigation that the offense was suffi ciently serious, the 

offender shall be permanently disqualifi ed. 

Case BL-11-1- What is the obligation of school offi cials 

with regard to sportsmanship? 

School offi cials shall practice the highest principles of 

sportsmanship, and shall make every effort to teach this type 

of behavior to their players, members of the student body, and 

fans. Offi cials shall be protected and scrimmages or contests 

conducted in an orderly manner. A violation of this rule may be 

cause for suspension. 

Case BL-11-2- If a student or coach is ejected from a 

scrimmage or contest, who makes the report on this 

incident? 

The game offi cial(s) shall complete the ejection report via the 

KHSAA website within twenty-four hours of the ejection. 

The member school principal or designated representative of 

the school with whom the player or coach is affi liated shall 

complete the required information on the KHSAA website 

requesting reinstatement. 

These reports shall be made promptly since the player or coach 

is disqualifi ed from further competition at that level until 

reinstated by a member of the Commission. 

An offi cial or school may be fi ned, suspended or otherwise 

penalized in accordance with Bylaw 33 for failing to properly 

and timely report a disqualifi cation or request reinstatement. 

Case BL-11-3- What is the member school obligation in 

the case of an unreported disqualifi cation? 

Whether or not an ejection is reported in a timely manner 

(including ejections which occur during out of state contests), 

the KHSAA member school is obligated to impose the minimum 

suspension penalty for the ejection per Case BL-11-7 or Case 

BL-11-8. Administrators should contact the Association offi ce 

with any questions. 

Case BL-11-4- If a coach is ejected from a scrimmage or 

contest, how long is the suspension? 

The suspension is in effect for any further interscholastic 

competition on that day. (i.e., the freshman coach ejected 

during the fi rst game may not be in the gym for the subsequent 

varsity game, baseball/softball coach ejected in fi rst game of 

multiple game tournament may not be at fi eld during any 

subsequent games that day). The suspension is considered 

immediate and indefi nite at the level of play at which the 

ejection occurred. The suspended coach may not participate in 

another contest at that level (JV, Freshman, Varsity, etc.) until 

being reinstated by a member of the Commission. Following 

review, the Commission may extend the suspension. When a 

coach is ejected from a scrimmage or contest or during the 

time suspended following an ejection, the coach is to leave 

the vicinity of the playing area and remove himself/herself 

completely from the area of the playing facility. In football and 

soccer for example, this means to leave the fi eld and stadium 

area; in basketball, this implies leaving the gym altogether; in 

other sports, completely leaving the venue. An ejected coach 

may not have any further communication with the team 

members or game offi cials following the game. 

Following the day of ejection, there shall be a minimum three 

additional games/ meets/contests suspension for any coach 

ejected from a contest. 

For all adults sitting out in an individual sport such as swimming, 

track or wrestling due to suspension, the penalty shall be for 

the entire meet schedule, not for a single event. 

If the ejection was during one of the two preseason scrimmages, 

the penalty shall be served during the fi rst regular season 

contests. 

If the ejection was for the fi nal game/contest of the season and 


was NOT concerning a student-athlete, the person ejected shall 

serve the required suspension in the next varsity level contest 

at the member school of employment for the suspended 

individual. 

For the second ejection during a sports season, the suspension 

shall be a minimum four-game/contest suspension and may 

be cause for additional penalties that may suspension for the 

remainder of the season. 

For the third ejection during a sports season, the suspension shall 

be cause for additional penalties including suspension for the 


Case BL-11-5- If a player (participant) is ejected from a 

scrimmage or contest, how long is the suspension? 

The suspension is in effect for any further interscholastic 

competition on that day. (i.e., a freshman ejected during the 

fi rst game may not be in the gym for the subsequent varsity 

game, baseball/softball coach participant ejected in fi rst game 

of multiple game tournament may not be at fi eld during any 

subsequent games that day). The suspension is considered 

immediate and indefi nite at the level of play at which the 

ejection occurred. The participant may not participate in 

another contest at that level (JV, Freshman, Varsity, etc.) until 

being reinstated by a member of the Commission. Following 

review, the Commission may extend the suspension. 

Following the day of ejection, there shall be a minimum 

two additional games/ meets/contests suspension for any 

participant ejected from a contest. 

For participants sitting out in an individual sport such as 

swimming, track or wrestling due to suspension, this penalty 

shall include the entire meet schedule not for a single event. 

If the ejection was during one of the two preseason scrimmages, 

the penalty shall be served during the fi rst regular season 

contests. 

If this was the fi nal game/contest of the season, the ejection 

was for a student, and the ejected student is a senior, the full 

penalty shall carry forward to the next interscholastic contest(s) 

in any KHSAA sanctioned sport. 

If this was the fi nal game/contest of the season, the ejection was 

for a student, and this was in varsity (fi rst team) competition 

and the ejected student is not a senior, the full penalty shall 

carry over to the next season in the sport in which the student 

was participating when ejected. 

If this was the fi nal game/contest of the season, the ejection was 

for a student, and this was NOT a varsity (fi rst team) contest, 

the full penalty shall carry forward to the next interscholastic 

varsity level contest(s) in any KHSAA sanctioned sport. 

For the second ejection during a sports season, the suspension 

shall be a minimum three-game/contest suspension and may 

be cause for additional penalties that may suspension for the 


For the third ejection during a sports season, the suspension shall 

be cause for additional penalties including suspension for the 


Case BL-11-6- What is the responsibility of a coach or 

player who has been ejected from a scrimmage or 

contest and is serving the mandatory suspension for 

being ejected. 

During the suspension period of any non-player (coach, 

administrator, etc.) the coach may not be on school property 

where the contests are being played and may not be at the 

venue if contests are played at a non-school site. The nonplayer 

may not communicate with the team at any point from 

the beginning of the contest until the end of the contest. 

Suspended players may attend the contest(s), but may not be in 

the game uniform or other school identifi able clothing and may 

not participate in any sport-related activity (warm-up activity) 

prior to or during the game, and will be classifi ed as non-player 

personnel during that contest as it relates to playing rules 

enforcement. It is a local school determination as to whether 

or not this student may be in the vicinity of the bench or team 

area. This is considered a minimum penalty, and may be more 

severe if the actions of the suspended person warrant such 

treatment. 

Case BL-11-7- Does an ejection in a scrimmage have the 

same penalty as a contest? 

Yes. The two allowable scrimmages are not an “open opportunity” 

for unsportsmanlike conduct. Persons ejected from any 

scrimmage are penalized in the fi rst regular season varsity 

contests. 

Case BL-11-8- Is it a violation for a coach to remove his 

team from the fl oor or fi eld if he believes that such 

removal is for the safety of his players? 

Yes. Removal of a team from the fl oor or fi eld without the 

permission of the offi cial(s) is a violation of Bylaw 11, Practice 

of Sportsmanship. A school or school representative violating 

this rule may be suspended or otherwise penalized. 

Case BL-11-9- Is it a violation of Bylaw 11 if an offi cial 

ends a game prior the end of regulation time? 

If the game is called because of unsporting acts by any player, 

coach, team representative or other direct representative of a 

member school, it will be considered a violation of this bylaw. 

Such shall be reported by the contest offi cial to the KHSAA and 

reported by the effected schools within 24 hours of the incident. 

Offi cials will be penalized by the Association for terminating a 

contest before the normal end of regulation play without trying 

to secure the assistance of game management or security to 

rectify the problem. Such penalty will be governed by the 

Offi cials Division Licensing policies. 

Case BL-11-10- Is it a violation for school personnel to 

criticize game offi cials through the media or viceversa? 

Yes. Many times criticisms are offered with regard to offi ciating. 

Done properly, criticism through the proper channels can be 

used constructively. However, public media comments that 

criticize offi cials by name or by specifi c position are damaging 

to the recruitment and retention of offi cials. Individual 

incidents of this type will be investigated by the KHSAA and 

the school or individuals may be penalized in accordance with 

Bylaw 33. Coaches and offi cials will be held to the restrictions 

and policies concerning the use of social media, which shall be 

considered media for the purpose of applying these restrictions. 

Case BL-11-11- What is the Association’s position 

with regards to racism and other types of unethical 

prejudice? 

The KHSAA Board of Control adopted the following statement 

on racial and cultural diversity -- “The KHSAA recognizes the 

cultural diversity of its participants, coaches, offi cials and 

spectators. The Board of Control encourages each of its member 

schools to educate its participants and all parties involved in 

the sports program as to the need for a united approach to 

solving problems. Prejudice on the basis of sex, race, creed or 

ethnic origin cannot be tolerated.” 

Case BL-11-12- Are there any state laws or regulations 

applicable to offi cials and unsportsmanlike conduct? 

Yes. Action taken during the 1998 session of the Kentucky General 

Assembly (HB 90) enacted KRS 518.090 that now specifi cally 

lists the assault of a sport offi cial as a crime. Offi cials, right or 

wrong in their judgment and application of the rules, shall be 

protected and allowed to perform their duties. 

A person is guilty of assault of a sports offi cial when he 

intentionally causes physical injury to a sports offi cial: (a) Who 

was performing sports offi cial duties at the time the physical 

injury was perpetrated; or (b) If the physical injury occurs while 

the sports offi cial is arriving at or departing from the athletic 

facility at which the athletic event occurred. 

For the purposes of this section, “sports offi cial” means an 

individual who serves as a referee, umpire, linesman, or in a 

similar capacity that may be known by another title, and who is 

duly registered as or is a member of a national, state, regional, 

or local organization engaged, in part, in providing education 

and training to sports offi cials. 

A person who is guilty of assault of a sports offi cial shall, for a 

fi rst offense, be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor, unless the 

defendant assembles with fi ve (5) or more persons for the 

purpose of assaulting a sports offi cial, in which case it is a 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

Class D felony. 

A person who is guilty of assault of a sport offi cial shall, for a 

second or subsequent offense, be guilty of a Class D felony. 

Case BL 11-13- Is it a violation for a school to videotape 

an opponent without permission or use otherwise 

illegal equipment such as cleats that exceed the size 

limit in football? 

Yes. Such acts would be considered a violation of Bylaw 11, the 

practice of sportsmanship. Any school representative taping 

a contest of an opponent with which they are not currently 

engaged in competition without the permission of that 

opponent, is an unethical and unsportsmanlike act. The same is 

true of the usage of illegal equipment, particularly that which 

could lead to a competitive advantage outside the rules. 

BYLAW 12. AMATEUR/AWARDS 

Sec. 1) Amateur Status 

A student who represents a member school in an interscholastic 

sport shall be an amateur in that sport. An amateur athlete is one 

who engages in athletic competition solely for the physical, mental, 

social and pleasure benefi ts derived from said participation. 

An athlete forfeits amateur status in a sport by: 

a) Competing for money or other monetary compensation 

(allowable travel, meals and lodging expenses may be accepted); 

b) Receiving any award or prize of monetary value not approved 

by this Association; 

c) Capitalizing on athletic fame by receiving money or other gifts 

of monetary value not specifi cally approved by Section 2 or 4 

of this rule (scholarships to institutions of higher learning are 

specifi cally exempted); 

d) Signing a professional playing contract in that sport; or 

e) Accepting a nominal standard fee or salary for instructing, 

supervising or offi ciating in an organized youth sports program 

or recreation, playground, or camp activities shall not jeopardize 

amateur status. “Organized youth sports program” includes 

both school and non-school programs. 

Sec. 2) Awards 

a) Awards governed herein and received by a student-athlete 

while representing a member school include awards received 

by a student-athlete while enrolled during the academic year as 

a regular student or awards received by a student-athlete while 

representing the school at any other time. 

b) Awards received by a student-athlete participating in an 

event while not representing the school, shall conform to the 

regulations of the recognized amateur athletic organization(s) 

associated with the event. If no limit exists for the amateur 

organization, the limit shall be $300. At no time shall the 

student-athlete be permitted to receive cash for this type of 

participation. 

c) Awards presented by a member school conference, or approved 

agency shall be uniform for all team members receiving the 

award. 

Sec. 3) Impermissible Awards shall include: 

a) An individual may not receive a cash award for athletics 

participation. An individual may not receive a cash equivalent 

item (i.e., an item that is negotiable for cash or trace or other 

services, benefi ts or merchandise) for athletic participation; 

b) Gift certifi cates and merchandise items that cannot be properly 

personalized shall be prohibited; and 

c) Cash or any other award that an individual cannot receive under 

these rules may not be forwarded in the individual’s name to a 

different agency or individual. 

Sec. 4) Type of Awards 

a) Awards for recognition of interscholastic athletics participation 

(letter awards) may be presented each year by a member school. 

In addition, the school may present senior awards and awards 

in recognition of special attainments or contribution to a team’s 

competitive season (i.e., scholar-athlete, most improved player, 

etc.) 

b) Awards for participation in special events (post season 

tournaments) and established regional or national recognition 

awards (Mr./Miss Basketball, All-State, etc.) may be presented 

only by the management of the event, awards program, or by a 

school that has had or will have a team or individual participate 

in the event or sport. 

c) The total value of any award presented for high school 

competition shall not exceed $300, except awards presented by 

the Association or a member school for participation in KHSAA 

sponsored events. 

d) Schools or conferences may not present individual awards to 

student-athletes for specialized performances in particular 

contests or events or during a limited time period (i.e., “player of 

the game” or “player of the week”). However, an organization, 

business fi rm or other outside agency may recognize a studentathlete’s 

outstanding performance in a particular contest or 

during a particular time by presenting a certifi cate, plaque 

or medal valued at less than $50. It is not permissible for an 

organization to provide any other tangible item or award. 

Case BL-12-1- What is the limit on the value of an award 

received by a student-athlete for competition outside 

of the representation of his/her high school? 

These limits vary from sport to sport within the purview of the 

National Governing Body (NGB) for that sport. For example, 

golfers should check with the United States Golf Association 

(USGA), while tennis players should check with the United State 

Tennis Association (USTA). These limits are revised regularly, 

and are studied for their impact on the overall program. 

The KHSAA also recognizes the legality of such programs as 

Scholarship Management and Accounting Reports for Tenpin 

(SMART) managed for the United States Bowling Congress and 

recognizes this as a permitted NGB. 

Case BL-12-2- Does the association have a 

recommendation on how school personnel shall 

handle out of season play inquiries from athletes and 

coaches who want to enter events which offer cash 

for prizes? 

Nothing in the KHSAA Handbook prohibits a student from playing 

in such events and mere participation is not a rules violation. 

However, in light of recent situations at the high school and 

college level, we would offer several suggestions for Athletic 

Directors, Principals and Coaches to pass along to the student 

athletes. 

1) Recommend strongly that these students should not 

participate in such events. Even the appearance of possible 

“cash for play” rewards lends itself to suspicion and 

allegations of the violation of Bylaw 12 and the PERMANENT 

loss of amateur status; 

2) Remind the students of the provisions of KHSAA Bylaw 12 in 

that they cannot accept cash, gift certifi cates or things that 

cannot be properly personalized and in addition, they cannot 

have the money or prizes deferred to a later date or given in 

someone else’s name; 

3) If they insist on participation, request that event organizers 

denote a list, and post prominently such list, of those students 

who are competing in the competition, but will not be 

accepting prizes; 

4) Make sure the students understand that they may accept 

specifi c prizes up to the limit of the National Governing Body 

(NGB) for that sport, but cannot under any circumstances, 

accept a gift voucher or simply be given an amount to spend. 

Number (4) above appears to be the most frequently violated 

from the anecdotal evidence available to the Association, as 

for example, a golfer is told he can go to the pro shop, and 

spend up to $50 for fi nishing third in a tournament. This is 

not legal and potentially renders the athlete PERMANENTLY 

ineligible at all amateur levels. If for example, the prize was 

predetermined that the third place fi nisher was to receive 

a golf bag as displayed at the 18th hole, then if that bag is 

under the NGB limit for golf (assume it had a price of $80), 

then it could be accepted. But that same golfer could not be 

allowed to go spend $80 in the pro shop. While this may seem 

like a minute difference, member school representatives should 

do everything possible to protect the amateur status of our 

competitors. 


BYLAW 13. FINANCIAL AID

f) Non-Public School Governing Board– means the entity having 

oversight over the member school. For purposes of this 

bylaw, the “governing board” of a non-public school shall be 

determined by the school type. For J1 schools, the “governing 

board” shall be the archdiocese and geographic references shall 

be the counties included in the non-public school zone of the 

school. For the R1 and M1 schools, the “governing board” shall 

be as defi ned by the governance structure of the institution.

athletic achievement or ability; 

j) Has any part of the fi nancial obligation to the member school 

paid directly or indirectly by individuals outside of the student’s 

immediate family; or 

k) Does not agree to complete disclosure of fi nancial records 

as defi ned in this bylaw upon request of the KHSAA and its 

offi cials, employees and agents. 

A member school may petition the Board of Control to approve 

a program not meeting the specifi cations listed in provisions (a) 

through (h) provided that program is available to all students 

within the school based on objective criteria. 

Sec. 3) Financial Aid Restrictions and Reporting 

All member schools shall annually report detailed fi nancial aid

participates. 

Sec. 4) Special Program Review Process 

A member school may petition the Board of Control for approval 

of a specifi c program existing prior to the adoption of this rule or a 

program that can be documented to be unrelated to athletics that 

does not create an advantage to the school. 

Case BL-13-1– What are the key provisions regarding the 

awarding of aid to student-athletes and the purpose 

of Bylaw 13? 

Awards given for need-based fi nancial aid for which the student 

body is generally eligible and are therefore permissible, shall 

be determined by a neutral evaluation of the student or family 

fi nancial record by one of six agencies. The need analysis may 

not include room and board expenses. 

Awards given for achievement per prescribed standardized tests 

as detailed in Bylaw 13 (merit aid) are limited to 25% of the 

total tuition for the student each year. 

Case BL-13-2– Are member schools required to submit 

fi nancial aid information to the Association? 

Upon request, all KHSAA member schools (public and private) 

shall annually submit to the KHSAA offi ce a fi nancial aid report 

with information about awards programs, source of funds, 

awarding of funds and benefi ts to athletes. 

Case BL-13-3- Which agencies are approved to evaluate 

the needs of an applicant for need based fi nancial aid? 

The permitted agencies at press time are: 

FACTS Grant in Aid Agency (Lincoln, NE); 

Financial Aid for Student Tuition (FAST) (Wilmington, DE); 

Financial Aid Independent Review (FAIR) (Rosemount, MN); 

Independent School Management (ISM) (formerly Family 

Financial Needs Assessment, Hernando, MS); 

Private School Aid Service (PSAS) (Lakewood, OH); 

School and Student Service for Financial Aid (SSSFA) (Princeton, 

NJ); and 

Tuitions Aid Data Services (TADS) (St. Paul, MN); 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

In addition, the Board of Control may approve other agencies to 

process parental or student data for the purpose of fi nancial 

analysis. The use of any other agency not approved would 

render the aid invalid with respect to the ability to award the 

funds and remaining in compliance with Bylaw 13. 

Case BL-13-4- Which tests are permitted to be used for 

the assessment to determine merit aid under Bylaw 

13? 

The permitted tests at press time are: 

Education Records Bureau (ERB, CTP); 

High School Placement Test (HSPT); 

Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE); 

Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS, Riverside Publishing); 

Pearson Educations Assessment (PEA); 

Otis Lennon School Ability Test (OLSTAT); 

School and College Ability Test (SCAT); 

Stanford Achievement Test, 10th Edition; and 

Terra Nova (McGraw Hill). 

In addition, the Board of Control may approve other tests to be 

used for the merit assessment. The use of any other test not 

approved would render the aid invalid with respect to the ability 

to award the funds and remaining in compliance with Bylaw 13. 

Case BL-13-5– Is it permissible for funds from non-school 

sources to be incorporated into fi nancial aid awards 

for student-athletes? 

Bylaw 13 does not expressly prohibit the use of funds developed 

or raised from outside sources from being used for fi nancial 

aid programs. However, such aid shall always be managed 

and distributed exclusively by member school personnel solely 

through the member high school fi nancial aid program and 

within the limits of Bylaw 13. 

Aid given directly to students by outside entities not permitted 

in the bylaw would render the student athlete ineligible. This 

includes any aid in excess of the merit aid limits or need based 

index calculation as detailed in the Bylaw. 

Case BL-13-6- Are there restrictions on which family 

members can pay the tuition or offer fi nancial 

assistance to a student within Bylaw 13? 

Yes. Immediate family members are allowed to be involved in the 

payment of tuition and providing assistance, but this is restricted 

to the student and the student’s father, mother, brother, sister, 

step-father, step-mother, step-brother, step-sister, husband, 

wife, aunt, uncle, grandparent. 

BYLAW 14. CERTIFICATION OF ELIGIBILITY 

Sec. 1) Eligibility Lists 

The principal or Designated Representative of the school shall 

certify the eligibility of all contestants. Not later than Wednesday 

of the week preceding the week of the contest, each principal or 

Designated Representative shall mail to the other, upon request, a 

statement to the effect that the persons named are eligible, under 

the rules of the Association, to represent the school on the date 

specifi ed. This statement shall be made on the standard eligibility 

blank supplied by the Association (KHSAA Form GE15) if required 

by the game contract. Requests for the exchange of eligibility 

blanks may be indicated on the game contract form at the time 

it is signed. 

Sec. 2) Verifi cation of Eligibility 

Before certifying the eligibility of a player, a principal or Designated 

Representative shall verify the players age by referring to the vital 

statistics records of the state in which the player was born, or 

in the absence of a state record, the earliest available school 

enrollment or census record. This requirement shall apply both to 

original certifi cations, and to the certifi cation of an athlete who 

has been received by transfer from another school. 

Sec. 3) Permission to Change Certifi cation 

The statement of facts concerning a player on the eligibility 

list of his or her fi rst year of competition shall be considered 

authoritative and may not be changed in later eligibility lists for 

that year or in later years except to carry out the purposes of the 

Bylaws in providing a cumulative record, or, when authorized by 

the Commissioner to correct an error. However, nothing in this 

paragraph shall be construed as waiving the requirement in 

Section 2 of this bylaw. 

Sec. 4) Acknowledgment of Receipt of Eligibility Rules 

Prior to the certifi cation of the eligibility of a student, the 

principal or Designated Representative shall have on fi le the 

physician’s certifi cate, the parental consent, and the parental 

acknowledgment required by Bylaw 2. 

Sec. 5) Unauthorized Change 

If an unauthorized change in a certifi cation results in the use of an 

ineligible player by the school that made the change, the school 

shall be suspended from the Association as provided for in Section 

8 of Bylaw 1. 

Sec. 6) Duty of a New Principal 

A new principal or Designated Representative before certifying to 

the eligibility of his or her players, if there is reason to question 

any of the information, shall secure from the Commissioners 

offi ce, a copy of the original certifi cation for that player. If failure 

to observe the requirements of Section 2 or Section 6 of this Bylaw 

results in the use of an ineligible player, the school involved shall 

be suspended from the Association as provided for in Section 8 of 

this Bylaw. 

Sec. 7) Annual Participation List 

Each principal or Designated Representative of a member school 

shall submit to the Commissioner at the end of the school year a 

list of the names of all students who participated in any fi rst team 

contest in any sport during the season. This participation list shall 

be submitted on a form supplied by the Association, and shall be 

completed in its entirety for each student. 

Sec. 8) Certifi cation of Ineligible Player 

If any school plays an ineligible player when the facts were 

available and could have been known to a principal or Designated 

Representative, that school shall be penalized in accordance with 

the provisions of Bylaw 33. 

If a player enters a contest under an assumed name or when 

not properly certifi ed, he or she shall be permanently ineligible, 

and his or her school shall be penalized in accordance with the 

provisions of Bylaw 33. 

Case BL-14-1- How does the principal certify eligibility 

and entries? 

A roster of players and coaches is to be entered on the KHSAA 

website. Within the rules of the particular sport (detailed 

in the Tournament Rules), additions and deletions may be 

made throughout the regular season. Each sport has specifi c 

deadlines which shall be followed for postseason roster 

entries, including specifi c event entries in some sports. The 

Principal or Designated Representative should be familiar 

with the restrictions for each sport. 

The standard game contracts (KHSAA Form GE14) allow the 

member schools to request the exchange of eligibility lists 

/ rosters as a condition of the contract. This is not a state 

requirement for all contests and should be delineated in the 

contract. Exchange of eligibility lists is done using the online 

roster system. 

Each Principal shall also develop a mechanism to check 

eligibility under KHSAA Bylaw 5. 

At the close of each academic year, each member school 

shall compile an Annual Participation List which shall be 

compiled from the online roster system and shall list all of the 

individuals who competed at any level for the school during 

that school year. The list shall include name of each player 

who has engaged in a varsity contest during the year and all 

other information called for on the form. 

Case BL-14-2- If a principal unknowingly plays an 

ineligible player, shall the school be penalized? 

Each case is reviewed on its own merits whenever a student is 

found to have played while ineligible. Pursuant to Bylaw 14, 

Sec. 8, a student who enters a scrimmage or contest and is 

not eligible, when the facts were present to prevent such an 

error, the school shall be penalized in accordance with Bylaw 

33. 

BYLAW 15. REQUESTS FOR RULINGS 

BYLAW 15. REQUESTS FOR RULINGS 

The principal or Designated Representative shall direct all requests 

for rulings and interpretations to the Commissioner in writing. In all 


cases in which players are involved, the names of the players and all 

possible pertinent information shall be given. 

Case BL-15-1- How shall requests for rulings be made? 

Requests shall be made in writing to the Commissioner, with 

all pertinent information given. Rulings will not be made on 

hypothetical cases, nor will they be made by telephone. Offi cial 

rulings will only be made in writing. While the staff will strive 

to interpret the bylaws to aid schools in the administration of 

the athletic programs, a written ruling shall supersede and 

take precedence over any verbal interpretation. 

Case BL-15-2- How does the KHSAA deal with calls from 

parents or students regarding eligibility? 

The KHSAA staff prioritizes calls from the member school 

representatives. The KHSAA staff receives hundreds of phone 

calls and electronic mail messages each week from member 

schools. Because the KHSAA exists to serve those schools, 

responding to their inquiries is the top priority. The large 

volume of calls from parents and students has dramatically 

effected our ability to serve the member schools. School 

administrators will remain the fi rst and preferred contact 

resource for parents and students. The KHSAA will refer calls 

from parents or students to the appropriate school personnel, 

and ask that the administrator contact the KHSAA if there is a 

need for more clarity or a specifi c answer. 

BYLAW 16. REPORTING OF VIOLATIONS, PROTESTS PROTESTS 

Sec. 1) Reporting of Violations 

Any person wishing to report a violation of the KHSAA Constitution, 

Bylaws or Tournament rules shall do so in writing. If evidence is 

presented to warrant an investigation, the Commissioner shall 

ensure that an investigation is performed. The Commissioner’s 

offi ce shall notify the principal or superintendent of the protested 

school, telling him or her the exact nature of the charges made. 

If an investigator is appointed to gather evidence in connection 

with the protest, he shall provide a copy of the report to the 

Commissioner, and a copy shall be made a part of the offi cial 

school records with the Association and shall be made available 

to the principal or superintendent of the schools involved upon 

request. 

Sec. 2) Protests 

Protests against the decision of contest offi cials made during the 

course of game or meet shall not be considered. 

Case BL-16-1- Is it permissible for decisions of offi cials 

in athletic scrimmages or contests to be protested to 

the Commissioner? 

No. The decision of the offi cial, right or wrong, shall prevail. 

This is based on decisions made at the national level when 

protests have been referred to the National Federation offi ce. 

Case BL-16-2- How does the KHSAA review and respond 

to anonymous calls and letters? 

Bylaw 16 requires all material submitted regarding the KHSAA 

for protests and reporting of violations to be in writing. If 

such reports are anonymous, the letters shall be forwarded 

by the Commissioner’s offi ce to the school administrator of 

the school in question, with no further action taken by the 

KHSAA unless that administrator reports a violation or further 

substantiated information is received. Anonymous callers 

shall be informed that the KHSAA staff has no authority to 

act on anonymous calls unless the caller is willing to provide 

credible substantiative evidence to warrant further review. 

BYLAW 17. SUPPLYING INFORMATION 

A superintendent, principal, student, or Designated Representative 

shall, when requested, supply the Commissioner with any 

information related to the athletic program at a member school. A 

failure to comply within a reasonable time may forfeit the school’s 

membership in the Association, or the school may be penalized in 

accordance with approved Association penalty codes. Each member 

school shall annually certify that it will comply with any and all of 

the rulings of the Commissioner, Assistant Commissioners, Hearing 

Offi cer and Board of Control as they relate to the athletic program 

at a member school. This compliance shall include student eligibility 

matters, Board policy directives related to health and safety of 

student athletes, and other programs as may be instituted by the 

convened Board of Control. This certifi cation shall not apply to any 

matter on review by any court. 

Case BL-17-1- Are schools required to submit reports 

regarding the Financial Aid, Heat Index, Title IX and 

the Title IX reporting requirements, or other sports 

specifi c reports? 

Yes. In accordance with Bylaw 17, these reports are required 

to be submitted by the timelines distributed by the 

Commissioner’s offi ce. Other reports may be added as 

requirements and requested by the Board of Control with 

notice to the membership. 

Case BL-17-2- Are students or their parents compelled 

to fi le written responses or answer eligibility 

inquiries? 

Yes. In accordance with Bylaw 17, these reports are required 

to be submitted when requested as necessary to verify the 

eligibility of a student. 

BYLAW 18. COUNTERSIGNING CONTRACTS 

The superintendent, principal or Designated Representative shall 

countersign all contracts to engage in interscholastic contests. 

BYLAW 19. SUBMISSION OF REPORTS 

Each principal or Designated Representative shall fi le with 

the Commissioner, during, or at the end of each school year, all 

participation lists and all other reports required by the Association. 

A membership certifi cate shall not be issued to any school until the 

provisions of this bylaw have been fulfi lled. 

BYLAW 20. MEMBER OF THE FACULTY TO ACCOMPANY 

TEAM TO CONTESTS 

The principal or coach or another member of the faculty shall 

accompany the team to all contests. His or her expenses, when he or 

she accompanies the contestants, shall be paid in the same manner 

as those of the contestants. 

Case BL–20-1- Is the restriction on the accompanying 

of a student by the principal, coach or faculty 

representative a KHSAA regulation or state law? 

This bylaw is patterned and adopted after KRS 161.185 which 

states “Boards of education shall require a principal, coach, 

member of the faculty or a member of the administrative staff 

to accompany students on all school-sponsored or schoolendorsed 

trips.” This stipulation governs accompaniment, and 

does not supersede or replace any regulation regarding driver 

qualifi cation. 

BYLAW 21. RULES GOVERNING CONTESTS 

National Federation of State High School Association Rules shall 

govern all contests involving member schools if an offi cial set of 

rules is issued for that sport. 

BYLAW 22. SPECIFIC SPORT REGULATIONS 

Sec. 1) Girls Basketball 

The Board of Control shall sanction and sponsor a girls’ basketball 

playoff to determine a state champion. 

Sec. 2) Comparable NCAA Opportunities 

If a member school sponsors or intends to sponsor an athletic 

activity that is similar to a sport for which NCAA members offer an 

athletic scholarship, the school shall sponsor the athletic activity 

or sport for which the scholarships are offered. The athletic 

activities that are similar to sports for which NCAA members offer 

scholarships are: Girls fast pitch softball as compared to slow 

pitch. 

To qualify as having “sponsored” a sport, a school shall be able to 

demonstrate the following: 

a) If similar versions of a particular sport exist and there are 

differences in the scholarship opportunities at the NCAA level 

in that sport, a survey shall be taken of the student population 

at reasonable times and places to determine the level of interest 

in the sport(s). 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

b) If that survey reveals suffi cient interest to fi eld the normal 

squad required for play in the particular sport and if any version 

of the sport is to be played, the school shall make facilities, staff 

and other allowances to properly fi eld a team in the version of 

the sport for which the NCAA members offer scholarships. 

Sec. 3) Type of Ball to be Used 

The molded ball is the offi cial basketball and shall be used in all 

regular season and tournament games. 

Case BL-22-1- Are schools required to sponsor fast pitch 

softball if that school offers softball? 

The provisions of HB490 which amended KRS 156.070 and 

have been incorporated into KHSAA Bylaw 22, require that 

if a school offers a sport comparable to one for which NCAA 

schools offer scholarships, it shall offer the version of the sport 

in which scholarships are offered. In order for a school to 

enter a team in the slow pitch region or state championship 

tournament, that school shall play not less than ten fast pitch 

softball regular season contests, and shall also participate in 

not less than ten slow pitch contests. 

Case BL-22-2- Are schools required to have a girls’ 

basketball team if that school fi elds a boys’ team? 

Yes, KRS 157.350 makes no reference to “sponsoring” and 

states under subsection (5) KRS 157.350 (5) Any secondary 

school which maintains a basketball team for boys for other 

than intramural purposes, shall maintain the same program 

for girls. Though this regulation in particular, addresses those 

schools accepting SEEK funding, all members of the KHSAA, 

irrespective of the state funding issue, are compelled to comply 

with this requirement. 

BYLAW 23. SANCTIONS 

Sec. 1) Contests Within State 

All contests within Kentucky played by KHSAA member schools 

shall be governed by the rules and regulations established by the 

Board of Control including Article VIII of the KHSAA Constitution. 

Approval for any exemptions shall come through the Commissioner. 

The Commissioner or Board of Control shall not sanction (approve 

for play) any meet, tournament, game, or all-star contest unless a 

member school, conference, group of member schools, or coaches 

association is the sponsor. The legal sponsor shall have full control 

over planning, supervision, and disposition of fi nances. A member 

school shall not take part in any tournament, game, or contest 

from which any outside organization derives a fi nancial profi t 

from ticket sales. 

Sec. 2) Interstate Contests 

Member schools of the KHSAA shall adhere to all restrictions 

contained in the National Federation of State High School 

Associations’ sanctioning policy when playing any contest or 

scrimmage against an out of state opponent. 

Case BL-23-1- What are the rules regarding the 

sanctioning of contests with out of state teams? 

All KHSAA member schools are responsible for ensuring that 

contests are properly sanctioned. The KHSAA adheres to the 

National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) 

sanctioning policy. NFHS sanction is required if KHSAA schools 

participate in any of the following types of contests: 

1) Any interstate events involves two (2) or more schools and 

is cosponsored by, or titled in the name of, an organization 

outside the high school athletic community (e.g. a University, 

Theme Park, Athletic Shoe Apparel Company, etc.); 

2) Any event involving non-bordering state schools if fi ve (5) or 

more states are involved; or 

3) Any event involving non-bordering state schools if more than 

eight (8) teams are involved; or 

4) Any event involving two or more teams which involves a 

team from a foreign country. 

IN KENTUCKY AND NFHS SANCTION REQUIRED 

If the contest(s) is (are) to be played in Kentucky and the 

event requires NFHS sanction, the host school should go to 

the KHSAA website which will link to the NFHS website for 

completion of the forms and payment of fees. This shall be 

completed and sent to the NFHS along with the requisite fee 

sixty (60) days prior to the event to ensure the minimization 

of costs to the host school and to allow for an orderly fl ow 

of communication among all effected parties. Requests 

submitted inside of sixty (60) days will be assessed a higher 

fee. The KHSAA receives no portion of this fee. 

IN KENTUCKY AND NFHS SANCTION NOT REQUIRED 

If the contest(s) is (are) to be played in Kentucky, involves out of 

state schools and does not require NFHS sanction but involves 

only those schools in states contiguous with Kentucky, the 

host school shall ensure that the rules of the opponent’s state 

association with regard to sanctioning are followed. Some 

state high school associations (i.e. , Missouri, Tennessee, 

West Virginia) have additional requirements for schools 

participating against their member schools, and the KHSAA 

staff can assist in facilitating those requests. KHSAA member 

schools may only compete against schools from other states 

that are members of that state association. 

OUT OF STATE AND NFHS SANCTION IS REQUIRED 

If the contest(s) is (are) played outside of Kentucky and NFHS 

sanctioning is required, the KHSAA member school shall 

ensure that the host school contacts the NFHS to initiate the 

sanction process. 

OUT OF STATE AND NFHS SANCTION IS NOT REQUIRED 

If the contest(s) is (are) played outside of Kentucky and NFHS 

sanctioning is not required and involves only schools in 

states contiguous with Kentucky, no additional sanctioning is 

needed on the part of the KHSAA. Some state high school 

associations (i.e. , Missouri, Tennessee, West Virginia) have 

additional requirements for schools participating against their 

member schools, and the KHSAA staff can assist in facilitating 

those requests. KHSAA member schools may only compete 

against schools from other states that are members of that 

state association in the sports of baseball, basketball, football, 

soccer, softball and volleyball. 

Case BL-23-2- How far in advance shall NFHS sanctioning 

be requested? 

The National Federation policy states that sanctioning is required 

through their offi ce not later than sixty (60) days prior to the 

event. Inside of this time frame, the fees for processing escalate. 

For this reason, it is imperative that the requests be made early 

(start the process at least sixty (60) days prior) so that approval 

is not denied due to the lateness of the request. Requests 

submitted inside of sixty (60) days will be assessed a higher fee. 

The KHSAA receives no portion of this fee. 

BYLAW 24. FORFEITS 

Sec. 1) Use of an Ineligible Player 

If a student is declared ineligible, all contests in which he or she 

has played while ineligible shall be forfeited to the opposing team. 

Sec. 2) Failure to Play a Scheduled Contest 

If a school fails to carry out its contract to play a regularly 

scheduled contest, the contest shall be forfeited to the offended 

school. 

Sec. 3) Failure to Follow Terms of Contract 

Provisions may be made for a forfeit fee to be paid by the school 

that fails to follow the terms of a contract. The Commissioner shall 

suspend from the Association a school that fails to pay during 

the same season a stipulated forfeit fee, and the suspension shall 

remain in effect until the Board of Control removes it. 

Sec. 4) Liability to Suspended School 

If a contract is canceled by reason of suspension of the school, the 

Board of Control shall determine the fi nancial liability involving 

the suspended school. 

Case BL-24-1- Does a forfeit win/loss or game cancelled 

by mutual agreement count against the maximum 

number of games that can be played? 

If the forfeit is declared and the contacted forfeit provisions 

applied after the fi rst legal playing date, the game shall be 

counted against the win/loss record, and against the limit of 

games. 

Games canceled by school administrations and forfeit fees paid 

before the fi rst playing date do not count against records or 

limits. 


Games canceled by school administrations by mutual consent 

without forfeit provisions do not count against records or limits. 

In districts that have voted to seed in those sports that permit 

seeding for postseason placement, the majority decision 

to seed shall be interpreted and enforced as an inherent 

and immediately implied contract to play all contests upon 

implementation of the seeding plan and within the specifi cs of 

the plan. 

Seeded district games that are forfeited shall be counted against 

the limit of games and shall count on the win/loss record 

irrespective of the teams when the contract is cancelled, no 

matter what terms under which the contract is cancelled and 

whether or not a formal contract is entered into between the 

competing teams.

practice or competition until the end of the academic school 

year. 

Case BL-25-1- What is the expectation of KHSAA member 

schools as it relates to missed school time for regular 

season contests? 

The KHSAA annually solicits verifi cation through the membership 

application from school administrators that these provisions 

have not been violated in order to comply with Kentucky Board 

of Education reporting requirements. The KHSAA expects all of 

its member schools, including those not normally subject to all 

rules and regulations of the Kentucky Department of Education 

to adhere to the attendance regulations of the Department of 

Education. 

Decisions on travel (and the possible allowances or restrictions 

therein) are solely the discretion and control of the member 

school. Monitoring and defi nitions regarding the restrictions 

related to “school time” must be done at the local level 

in compliance with Kentucky Department of Education 

regulations. 

Member schools reported for violating these restrictions will 

be referred to the Kentucky Department of Education. The 

restrictions on missed school time were placed into KHSAA 

Bylaws by the Kentucky Board of Education as a reiteration 

of the necessity to prioritize school time, but are not the 

Association’s jurisdiction to enforce and apply sanction. 

This stance is necessary due to ever changing rules and 

regulations about what constitutes school time, and the fact 

that the member schools are in better position to monitor this 

regulation as they implement new and revised methods of 

delivering instruction. If further clarifi cation is needed relative 

to local policies which may be in place as to what constitutes 

School Time, please have the appropriate district personnel 

contact the Kentucky Department of Education. 

Case BL-25-2– Is it permissible for students to be 

counted present for participation / attendance at 

regular season and KHSAA district level events? 

No. Though this issue is not one over which the Association or 

its Board of Control has direct jurisdiction, KRS 159.035(2)(b) 

clearly states that the educational enhancement opportunities 

allowed by that statute may not include interscholastic 

athletics. If a student does leave school before the scheduled 

end of the day for any reason, the time missed is recorded in 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

the daily attendance log of the school as an attendance event 

for that student. Although local board policy may allow the 

student to ‘make-up’ any missed work, the absence record 

remains. 

When the student is participating in or attending an athletic 

event, the local school board (not school council) attendance 

policy controls whether it is counted as an excused or 

unexcused absence. For example, the local board policy might 

choose to record an excused absence for those students 

participating on a high school athletic team that is playing in 

a state championship and not record an excused absence for 

attendance by a non-participant. It is also possible that the 

Board policy to allow an excused absence for attendance by 

non-participants with verifi cation. The impact of excused 

versus unexcused absence is that with an excused absence the 

student may have the ability to make up the missed school 

work. 

If the school’s team is involved in a very popular event, such as 

the state high school basketball tournament, and a signifi cant 

portion of the student body will be attending the tournament 

and thus missing school, the local board has discretion as 

to whether to close school that day(s) in anticipation of low 

school attendance, and amend the school calendar to make up 

the instructional time. 

If further clarifi cation is needed relative to local policies which 

may be in place, please have the appropriate district personnel 


Case BL-25-3– Are there allowances for students to be 

counted present for participation / attendance at 

KHSAA region or state event? 

Yes. In accordance with KRS 158.070 (7) (b), any member of a 

school-sponsored interscholastic athletic team who competes 

in a regional tournament or state tournament sanctioned 

by the Kentucky Board of Education, or the organization or 

agency designated by the board to manage interscholastic 

athletics, and occurring on a regularly scheduled school day 

may be counted present at school on the date or dates of 

the competition, as determined by local board policy, for a 

maximum of two (2) days per student per year. The student 

shall be expected to complete any assignments missed on the 

date or dates of the competition. 

When the student is participating in or attending an athletic 

event, the local school board (not school council) attendance 

policy controls whether it is counted as an excused or 

unexcused absence. For example, the local board policy might 

choose to record an excused absence for those students 

participating on a high school athletic team that is playing in 

a state championship and not record an excused absence for 

attendance by a non-participant. It is also possible that the 

Board policy to allow an excused absence for attendance by 

non-participants with verifi cation. The impact of excused 

versus unexcused absence is that with an excused absence the 

student has a right to have the opportunity to make up the 

missed school work, but has no such right with an unexcused 

absence. 

If the school’s team is involved in a very popular event, such as 

the state high school basketball tournament, and a signifi cant 

portion of the student body will be attending the tournament 

and thus missing school, the local board has discretion as 

to whether to close school that day(s) in anticipation of low 

school attendance, and amend the school calendar to make up 

the instructional time. 

If further clarifi cation is needed relative to local policies which 

may be in place, please have the appropriate district personnel 


Case BL-25-4- Does the limit on consecutive day 

scrimmages or contests extend to varsity and nonvarsity 

teams and players? 

Yes. Each team at each level within a school and each studentathlete, 

shall have one day (Monday through Thursday) during 

the season when school is in session, when the team does 

not hold a scrimmage or contest nor is the individual student- 

athlete competing or playing. This restriction applies to all 

levels of play not each level of play. 

The intent of the rule is that each student-athlete shall be 

guaranteed at least one night (Monday through Thursday) 

where participation in an interscholastic scrimmage or contest 

is not required, to allow for time to properly attend to academic 

pursuits and other priorities. 

Case BL-25-5- What is the penalty if a school exceeds the 

limit of games? 

A school exceeding the limitation of games / contests / meets 

shall be penalized in accordance with Bylaw 33. 

Case BL-25-6- What are the sanctioned championships 

of the KHSAA where a championship is sponsor or the 

KHSAA otherwise sanctions? 

The Association sanctions (authorizes play) all events for which 

the KHSAA sponsors a state high school championship 

including: 

1) In the fall: cross country (boys and girls), golf (boys and girls), 

soccer (boys and girls), volleyball (girls) and football (boys); 

2) In the winter: basketball (boys and girls), wrestling (boys), 

swimming (boys and girls) and bowling (boys and girls); and 

3) In the spring: baseball (boys), softball (girls), tennis (boys and 

girls) and track (boys and girls, indoor and outdoor). 

The Association sanctions (authorizes play) all events for 

competitive cheer when the competition is conducted in 

compliance with the National Federation Spirit Guide. 

Case BL-25-7- What is the season, limit of contests and 

restrictions for non-varsity teams? 

Non-varsity teams have the same restrictions on beginning of 

practice, beginning of contests and number of games as the 

varsity teams. 

Case BL-25-8- Is there a designated “tryout” or 

conditioning period for KHSAA sports for member 

schools? 

No. Tryouts are an organized or semi-organized means of 

selecting team members for the coming season. Provisions 

of that rule stipulate a beginning date for practice, which 

implicitly prohibits practice during the school year prior to that 

date. Tryouts are considered to be part of organized practice 

and shall be held during the offi cial practice period spelled out 

in Bylaw 25. Nothing can be required between the fi rst day of 

school and the fi rst legal date for practice. 

There is also no “conditioning period” as some coaches seem to 

erroneously tell kids and parents. Student-athletes cannot be 

held accountable for missing this time outside of the limitation 

of seasons and cannot be made to “make-up” missed activity 

as it cannot be required. 

Case BL-25-9- What is a scrimmage and what is the 

purpose of allowing them in the preseason? 

A scrimmage is a semi-organized opportunity to participate 

in a sport in game conditions prior to the opening contest 

of the season. Scrimmages are designed to be controlled 

opportunities for participation NOT exhibition games. While 

many state associations prohibit preseason competition 

between schools, it is felt that this is the best means of 

acclimating to game conditions and preparing for the season 

while ensuring competitive fairness and equal participation 

opportunities. 

Case BL-25-10- What are the limitations on the allowable 

scrimmages? 

The following are the limitations and regulations on allowable 

scrimmages: 

1) Each school is limited to a total of two preseason scrimmages 

of any type against competitors not eligible to be on the 

team’s roster at all levels of play (grades 9-12) in each sport; 

2) Both scrimmages (or one if that is the school choice) shall be 

held prior to the fi rst varsity contest in a sport; 

3) The total elapsed time from the start of each scrimmage until 

the end shall be no longer than three consecutive hours (Start 

to fi nish, including any breaks) and all competition activity 

shall held at the same site. This time limit is not playing time, 

but elapsed time on the clock and starts when the fi rst team 


member at any level engages a person from another other 

team in any manner. The restriction allows for participation in 

any fashion with outside opponents for a single, continuous, 

three hour period. It is possible that the varsity, junior varsity 

and freshman teams could oppose each other in game 

simulation settings and only be charged with one scrimmage 

if the TOTAL amount of time scrimmaged for all team levels 

combined from start to fi nish is less than three hours. The 

three hour time measurement shall be suspended in the event 

that inclement weather forces cancellation after a scrimmage 

has begun and shall resume when warm-up activities resume 

following the suspension; 

4) The limitation is for all levels of play (grades 9-12) at a school, 

not each level of play; 

5) Coaches at different levels within a school (freshman, JV 

and Varsity) and at sites where many teams are present 

should coordinate the schedule of scrimmages to ensure 

that these students are given opportunities during the threehour 

scrimmage limit. The scrimmage sessions are primarily 

designed to prepare the varsity team for regular season 

play, as the entire non-varsity season can be considered 

“scrimmage-like” as no state championship competition is 

held; 

6) The scrimmage limitations include any team camp or similar 

activity held during the defi ned practice period for a sport. 

Teams attending camps at the same site should exercise 

extreme caution not to violate scrimmage limitations. The 

total scrimmage time involving team members, regardless 

of levels of play, is subject to a total time limit of three 

consecutive hours; 

7) Coaches shall be on the fi eld or in the vicinity of the playing 

fl oor or area; 

8) Schools may, at the discretion of the host school, charge 

admission, sell concessions and pay offi cials; 

9) It is recommended that offi cials be utilized for all scrimmage 

contests. If offi cials are utilized (other than coaches exercising 

normal supervisory duties), they shall be KHSAA licensed 

offi cials; 

10) All scrimmage contests shall be reported to the KHSAA if the 

Association makes requests for such reports; and 

11) Violators of scrimmage limitations and regulations may be 

penalized in accordance to the prescribed penalties in Bylaw 

25 as well as the provisions of Bylaw 33. 

Case BL-25-11- Are there any exceptions to the scrimmage 

rules contained in the Limitation of Seasons for the 

Bluegrass State Games? 

Yes. High school teams in cross country, cheer, soccer, and 

volleyball, together with their coach(es) may participate in the 

Bluegrass State Games. Such play shall not count against the 

two scrimmage limitation provided that the organizers of the 

games adhere to all health and safety recommendations of the 

KHSAA (including the Heat Index program), and provided there 

are not a limit on the number of schools that may enter. 

Case BL-25-12- Are there any exceptions to the 

restrictions contained in Bylaw 25 for participants in 

offi cially sanctioned Olympic Development Activities? 

Yes. The Board of Control has authorized the Commissioner to 

consider, on a case by case basis, waivers to any restrictions 

contained in Bylaw 8 and Bylaw 25 that would allow 

participation by an enrolled student or employed coach in 

offi cially sanctioned U.S. Olympic Development activities. Such 

organizations as USA Basketball, USA Track and Field and other 

similar groups that have offi cially sanctioned activities can 

request, through the appropriate member school, that these 

restrictions be waived and participation allowed. Such shall 

also include the Ryder Cup offi cial competition between the 

PGA of America and PGA European Tour. 

Case BL-25-13- How is the determination made as to how 

to count a game/meet/event against the Limitation of 

Seasons? 

In these sports, a game/meet/contest counts against the 

Limitation of Seasons any time a student-athlete represents 

a member school competing against any representative(s) of 

another school after the start of practice and prior to the end 

of the season as defi ned within KHSAA Bylaw 25. 

1) The following are examples of activities which would 

be subject to classifying the student-athlete as being a 

“representative” of the school: 

a) Wearing of school uniform and school-issued playing 

equipment; 

b) Transportation to or from the contest using school 

transportation; 

c) Representing the school by entering an event under the 

name of the school; 

d) Representatives of the school entering an event in which 

entries are allowed only by school representatives; 

e) Attendance of, transportation by, coaching or other 

assistance by, any member of the school coaching staff from 

that sport; or 

f) Any school vs. school competition in any KHSAA sport or 

sport activity as defi ned within Bylaw 25. 

2) After the start of practice and prior to the fi rst contest against 

an outside opponent, such activity may be classifi ed as a 

scrimmage as long as the activity is in compliance with C/S 

25-10 and within the specifi c scrimmage limitations for that 

sport. 

3) All play shall be classifi ed as the same level by all participants 

in scrimmages, contests, games, meets and tournaments 

and shall remain classifi ed at the same level through the 

completion of the event. For example, one school cannot 

classify a contest as a junior varsity game, and the opponent 

classify the contest as a varsity game or one classify the 

activity as a scrimmage and one classify it as a contest. As 

another example, a school cannot classify some games in an 

event (such as a tournament) as varsity games and others as 

non-varsity games. Events shall be constructed such that all 

competition is held at the same level for all competing teams. 

4) Seeded district contests to determine postseason bracketing 

may never be counted as non-varsity contests. 

5) It shall be counted as a contest or scrimmage if the activity 

involves competition with or against any person who is not 

on the school participation list for that gender in that sport. 

Case BL-25-14- What are the special allowances for 

counting a game/meet/event against the Limitation 

of Seasons in cross country or track or toward the 

postseason meet minimum? 

A meet shall be counted against the limit of meets in cross 

country or track (indoor or outdoor) if any of the following 

conditions exist: 

1) It is sponsored by a KHSAA member high school (or cosponsored) 

or legally conducted by an outside entity as a 

team entry event in accordance with the NFHS sanctioning 

process; 

2) An athlete is wearing the school issued uniform; 

3) A school entity pays the entry fee for the student; 

4) A school representatives accompanies the student-athlete or 

transports the student athlete to the competition; 

5) A member of the school coaching staff is present and offering 

instruction, advise, evaluation or refi nement of skills or 

exercising other duties defi ned as “coaching” within the sport 

rules; or 

6) The event by its format, allows entries or fees to be solely 

based on representatives of school based competition. 

Case BL-25-15- Is there a minimum period for team and 

individual practice in any sport other than football? 

No. Athletes in other sports are not required to have a minimum 

number of practice sessions or dates prior to competition 

against another school. 

Case BL-25-16- What is coaching as used in Bylaw 25? 

Coaching is defi ned as any activity by the coach at a time the 

athletes are participating in skills (either preparatory or specifi c 

to that sport) in a setting in which skills are taught, refi ned, or 

practiced. Coincident participation by a coach and an athlete 

in a sport such as a golf outing, where the coach and athlete(s) 

are not entered as a entry or group, or in an activity such as 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

distance running with many runners but no direct coaching, 

would not specifi cally be considered coaching. 

Case BL-25-17- What are the restrictions during the 

school year outside of the defi ned Limitation of 

Seasons (off-season) when the school’s team members 

are participants or school coaches are involved? 

The “off-season” is the period during the school year for each 

sport or sport/activity that is outside the defi ned start and end 

dates for the sport or sport/activity as detailed in Bylaw 25. 

The restrictions begin on the fi rst day of school and end on the 

earlier of the day following the last day of school or May 31; 

The following general provisions apply to the off-season in all 

KHSAA sports and sport/activities: 

1) There is no insurance coverage (catastrophic medical or 

other) expressed or implied by the KHSAA; 

2) Any restriction includes all members of the athletic coaching 

staff, paid or unpaid, head or assistant, and at all levels; 

3) No activity may be required for the student-athlete in that 

particular sport and there may be no penalties assessed, 

expressed or implied for non-participation; 

4) There may be no organized activity (where sports specifi c 

skills are being taught, refi ned, developed or evaluated) 

that is restricted solely to the members or prospective 

members of any sports team; and 

5) Nothing about these interpretations allow for the use 

of specifi c school issued football gear during this period 

except during the allowable spring practice window, and 

the use of the helmet during specifi c periods enumerated in 

other published interpretations. 

6) Nothing about these interpretations allow for the use 

of specifi c school issued baseball and softball catching 

gear during this period except during the specifi c periods 

enumerated in other published interpretations. 

7) Nothing about these interpretations change any of the 

provisions of Bylaw 8 that prohibit players in basketball and 

football from participating in an organized game for any 

other entity from the start of school to the end of the season 

(including KHSAA postseason play) 

During the “off-season”, a member of the coaching staff, member 

school representative(s), group of school representatives, or 

school or team-related booster group MAY NOT: 

1) Pay the entry fee for a team or individuals into a practice, 

league, camp or tournament; 

2) Pay other necessary fees for competition including umpire/ 

offi cial payments and game or facility management; 

3) Provide or fund transportation (school or otherwise) for 

team members to go to games, or tournaments; 

4) Allow the use of school issued apparel that contains the 

school name, nickname or other accepted likeness or allow 

the use of the school name, nickname or other accepted 

likeness in any other facet of athletic activity; 

5) Allow the use of school issued baseball and softball 

catching gear, or any football gear defi ned in NFHS Rule 1-5 

by team members. See Case Situations BL-25-19, BL-25-23 

and BL 25-24. 

6) Allow the use of the school facility for organized competition 

involving individuals eligible to be on the team’s roster at 

any level of play (grades 9-12) in each sport without the 

approval of the school principal and unless such competition 

is conducted in compliance with all local district policies as 

approved by the Superintendent; or 

7) Allow the use of the school facility for paid sports specifi c 

instruction by one or more members of the coaching staff. 

All other restrictions related to the scheduling, composition, pool 

and use of available personnel including coaches, and other 

logistical arrangements are the jurisdiction of the building 

Principal in compliance with all local district policies for any 

activity held within that local school facility or off-site activities 

where the coach and team members are simultaneously 

present, in compliance with Bylaw 1 of the Association. 

Case BL-25-18– Is it permissible for a local policy board, 

offi cials’ association impose a time limit on softball or 

baseball games at the varsity level? 

No. The NFHS playing rules establish the time frames and 

requirements. At the non-varsity level, the local regional policy 

board of the host school may establish game time or inning 

limitations for different levels below varsity. 

Any time limit (or lack of limit) adopted for baseball at any level 

shall also be applied to the same level of softball. Any time 

limit (or lack of limit) adopted for softball at any level shall also 

be applied to the same level of baseball. Time limits (or play 

limits such as a limit of innings) can only be imposed in nonvarsity 

baseball or softball games if the same limit applies to 

both sports under the jurisdiction of that policy board, 

Case BL-25-19- What are the restrictions on school 

issued sports-specifi c equipment in baseball and 

softball during the school year outside of the defi ned 

Limitation of Seasons (off-season) when the school’s 

team members are participants or school coaches are 

involved? . 

Baseball and Softball activity may not utilize school issued 

catching gear. 

Case BL-25-20- Is there a minimum period for team and 

individual football practice when practice begins for 

the fall? 

Yes. Any player, to be eligible for participating in his/her fi rst 

game or scrimmage against an outside opponent, shall have 

taken part in a minimum of ten practice periods extending 

over a period of ten days during the three weeks preceding 

participating in his/her fi rst scrimmage or contest against 

outside competition. 

Every player shall have fi ve (5) days of practice without pads to 

become acclimated to heat conditions prior to the fi rst day 

of practice with pads and shall have fi ve (5) days of practice 

in pads prior to a game or scrimmage against an outside 

opponent. Players participating in other outdoor fall sports 

after July 15 (soccer or cross country), or those serving in 

offi cial military preparedness activities after July 15 may allow 

days involved in those activities to count toward the fi ve 

required days out of pads. 

Case BL-25-21- When does contact football practice 

begin? 

The fi rst date of contact practice is based on the fi rst full day of 

classes for the student body in each school. Contact practice 

begins seven days prior to the fi rst offi cial day (which is the fi rst 

day prior to students). The following is the calendar for the next 

several years.

Case BL-25-22- What is the fi rst date for non-varsity 

football playing of contests (JV and Freshman)? 

Non-varsity games can be played beginning the day following the 

team’s fi rst regular season varsity contest. A school playing in 

week 0 could not play against a school who doesn’t play until 

week 1 in a non-varsity game until after the week 1 varsity 

game had been played. 


Case BL-25-23- What equipment can be worn, what 

activities can occur, and what restrictions are in place 

for football practice and the wearing of football gear. 

Defi nitions 

1) “No Equipment Period” activity is a period where no football 

gear, including the helmet, can be worn. 

2) “Helmet-Only Period” activity is a practice period where 

only a helmet is worn. During this helmet-only period, no full 

contact drills or other activity can occur which would result in 

a player completing a tackle, or being blocked or tackled to the 

ground. Padded and protective equipment such as pads held 

by a single player (but not blocking sleds and other structures 

designed for work with full pads) can be used. 

3) “Practice in Pads Period” is practice when the remainder of 

the football gear (other than the helmet) specifi ed in NFHS 

Rule 1-5 is worn and activity during the session is not restricted 

with regard to contact. 

The following are the allowances for the wearing of pads: 

1) From the team’s elimination from postseason play until the 

fi rst offi cial day of spring practice is a No Equipment Period. 

a) No gear may be worn. This does not preclude the issuance 

of gear to individual athletes for activities such as an all-star 

contest. 

b) There is no KHSAA catastrophic insurance during this 

period. 

2) The Offi cial Spring Practice Period as designated by Bylaw 25 

is a Practice in Pads Period. 

a) Coaches are highly advised to use the fi rst two days of this 

period for acclimation to contact and re-introduction of the 

rigors of football to the student-athletes. 

b) The KHSAA catastrophic insurance is in effect during this 

period. 

3) From the end of the Offi cial Spring Practice Period to May 31 

is a No Equipment Period. 

a) No gear may be worn. This does not preclude the issuance 

of a helmet to a student for participation in a skills combine 

as described in Case BL-25-23. 


period. 

4) From the earlier of the day following the last date of school or 

June 1, through June 24 is a Helmet-Only period. 

a) A football player may wear a helmet during any football 

specifi c drill or session that is supervised or attended by any 

member of the high school coaching staff, but may wear no 

other gear as defi ned by NFHS Football Rule 1, Section 5. 


period. 

5) From June 25 to July 9 (inclusive of those dates) is the KHSAA 

Dead Period (Bylaw 26). 

a) There can be no practice (individual or team) and no 

equipment may be issued. 


period. 

6) July 10 to July 14 is a Helmet-Only Period. 

a) The helmet may be issued and worn, but no other gear as 

defi ned by NFHS Football Rule 1, Section 5 may be issued 

or worn. 


period. 

7) July 15 to the fi rst day of contact is a Helmet-Only Period. 

a) No other gear as defi ned by NFHS Football Rule 1, Section 

5 may be worn and the restrictions of the defi nition of a 

Helmet Only Period must be observed. 

b) Legal, on-campus, non-contact, non-interscholastic activity 

is covered by the KHSAA catastrophic insurance. 

c) Non-contact game simulations may be conducted and 

not applied to scrimmage limitations provided that the 

fi rst contact practice has not been conducted. The KHSAA 

catastrophic insurance is not in effect for these simulations 

if other schools are involved. 

8) The earlier of August 1 or seven week days prior to the 

fi rst date of school for the student body through the team’s 

elimination from postseason play is the defi ned season. This is 

a practice in pads period (including acclimation days required 

by Bylaw 25) 

a) All other pads as defi ned in Rule 1-5 in addition to the 

helmet can be worn; 

b) It is recommended that the fi rst two to three days of this 

period be with shoulder pads only, followed by a non-contact 

day, followed by the addition of the rest of the equipment; 

c) Full contact practice may begin for all individuals who have 

previously (after July 15) had fi ve days of supervised noncontact 

practice in order to become acclimatized to heat and 

acclimated to practice; 

d) Teams cannot conduct multiple contact practice sessions 

on consecutive days. If multiple contact practices (up to a 

maximum of two) are held on a day, then only one contact 

practice session can be held on the following day; 

e) On days when there are multiple contact practice periods, 

there shall be a minimum three hour break between contact 

periods. 

f) There is not a restriction on the number of non-contact 

practices conducted on any day; 

g) Any play involving at least one player from more than one 

team shall count as a scrimmage; and 

h) Provided all practice and activity are compliant with KHSAA 

rules, the KHSAA catastrophic insurance is in place. 

General Reminders 

1) Nothing about Bylaw 25 or its interpretations prevents a 

school from allowing equipment to be issued to students 

to attend individual camps at other sites and outside of the 

KHSAA Dead Period. 

2) Nothing about Bylaw 25 or its interpretations prevents 

individual camp attendance by players using school owned 

equipment outside of the dead period or team camp 

attendance within the contact window and subject to the 

scrimmage limitations. 

Case BL-25-24- What are the restrictions on what can be 

done by coaches with football players at single-day 

combines, workouts, clinics and other skill testing and 

evaluation activities between the last game of the 

season and the end of the school year? 

The following restrictions are in place if the coach is present: 

1) No football specifi c equipment as defi ned in NFHS rule 1-5 

may be used including but not limited to, playing equipment 

(shoes, shoulder pads) other than a helmet for protection; 

2) No sports specifi c drills can be performed if any football 

equipment other than the helmet, is worn; 

3) No contact or simulated contact may occur; 

4) Participation on the part of the student-athlete cannot be 

mandatory; and 

5) There are no restrictions on seniors who have completed their 

eligibility. 

Case BL-25-25- Are football playing schools required to 

hold spring football practice? 

No, this is an optional practice period. 

Case BL-25-26- What is postseason play as defi ned in 

spring football practice period? 

The “elimination from postseason play in basketball” means the 

elimination of both boys’ and girls’ teams from post season play 

in basketball. For example, if a boys’ basketball team loses the 

fi rst game of a district but the girls’ remain alive into regional 

or state play, the spring practice period cannot begin until the 

girls are eliminated. 

Case BL-25-27- Do all of the restrictions of Bylaw 25 and 

its interpretations apply to cheerleading? 

Yes. 

Case BL-25-28- How does a cheerleading squad competing 

in more than one preliminary competition attempting 

to qualify for a state or national competition count 

against the limit of three? 

Each attempt would count as one of the allowed three 

competitions. 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

Case BL-25-29- Is it permissible for a cheerleading squad 

to compete in a fi nal competition of a progressive 

event after April 1 if the preliminary competition was 

held prior to April 1? 

No. All competition shall be completed prior to April 1. 

Case BL-25-30- Is it permissible for cheer squads to 

conduct additional tryouts after the two-week period 

in April after the school year is over? 

Yes. After the school year is over, the squad may but is not 

compelled to, hold additional tryout periods, or make 

allowances for those students who were not enrolled in the 

school at the time of tryouts. 

Case BL-25-31- Is it permissible for cheer squads to 

attend competitions that do not comply with NFHS 

rules? 

No. The high school cheer coach cannot coach athletes in any of 

the three allowable competitions (KAPOS plus three additional) 

if those competitions do not comply with NFHS rules, including 

but not limited to, stunt limitations. Bylaw 25 restricts the 

coach of the high school squad from coaching in outside 

competition other than those four allowed competitions at 

anytime during the school year. Individual squad members 

participating for outside organizations are not covered by any 

insurance coverage provided by the Association. 

Case BL-25-32- Has the Board of Control made any 

special accommodations with the spring sports 

schedule in anticipation of the potential confl icts with 

end of course assessments and other testing changes 

coming for the member schools? 

Yes. With the full implementation of end of course assessments 

beginning in 2011-2012 (with specifi c subjects), the Board of 

Control has recognized the inherent timing confl icts between 

some of the KHSAA spring activities and the academic needs 

of the students. This has been even more apparent in recent 

years with increasing confl icts between KHSAA championship 

rounds and graduations ceremonies and other activities. The 

Board of Control voted in July, 2011 to allow the spring sports 

of baseball, softball and tennis to begin regular season play on 

the Wednesday of the fi rst state basketball tournament during 

2012 and 2013. This change results in the Board’s movement 

of state championship play in track and tennis having minimal 

effect on the ability of the member schools to have a full 

schedule of contests within the parameters of Bylaw 25. A 

proposal to permanently amend Bylaw 25 to allow for this 

scheduling option will be forthcoming to the membership. 

Case BL-25-33- Has the Board of Control adopted an 

interim Limitation of Seasons for Bowling until action 

can be taken at the Annual Meeting? 

Yes. The season closely mirrors the other winter sports to allow 

for ease of management within the athletic program. Until 

offi cial action is taken by the membership, the following will 

serve as the Limitation of Seasons 

Sports Specifi c Limitations- Bowling 

a) Following the opening day of school, there shall be no 

organized practice prior to October 15. 

b) There shall be no more than two (2) practice dates prior to the 



Corresponding Week 23. 

d) The season shall consist of a maximum of twenty-two (22) 

dates of competition including invitational tournaments prior 

to the beginning of KHSAA state championship tournament 

competition (region). 






sanctioned tournament play. Following elimination, there 

shall be no further practice or play during the remainder of 


BYLAW 26. SUMMER SPORTS AND SPORTS/ACTIVITIES 

Sec. 1) School Team Play in Summer (Non Dead Period) 

Member schools may participate in sanctioned play during the 

summer to complete spring seasons in baseball, softball, tennis 

and track and may begin sanctioned regular season play and 

practice as defi ned by Bylaw 25 prior to the opening of school in 

cheerleading, cross country, football, golf, soccer and volleyball. 

Only participants eligible during the spring semester may compete 

on the school teams. All KHSAA eligibility rules apply, and full

high school and the principal of that school. 

Sec. 2) Restrictions on Football and Boys’ Basketball 

Beginning June 1, 2010, students shall not participate in any 

school vs. school (in any format) competition in football between 

the earlier of the last day of school and June 1 through June 24. 

During this period, students may participate in activities such as 

weight training, skill development, individual camps and accepted 

open gym or fi eld activities where no inter-school competition is 

involved. Students shall not participate in any school vs. school 

(in any format) competition in boys’ basketball between the end 

of the dead period and July 31. During this period, students may 

participate in activities such as weight training, skill development, 

individual camps and accepted open gym/fi eld activities where no 

inter-school competition is involved. 

Sec. 3) Summer Dead Period 

Students may not receive coaching or training from school 

personnel (either salaried or non salaried) and school facilities, 

uniforms, nicknames, transportation or equipment shall not be 

used each year in any KHSAA sanctioned sport or cheerleading 

squad during the period beginning with June 25, and going 

through July 9. School funds may not be expended in support of 

interscholastic athletics in any KHSAA sanctioned sport during 

this period. These restrictions shall not apply to postseason wrapup 

activities, celebrations and recognition events relating to a 

spring sports team at a school which participated in KHSAA state 

championship play in that particular sport during that particular 

year. 

Case BL-26-1- What is the purpose of Bylaw 26, Section 

1? 

Several sports begin prior to the beginning of the school year or 

may extend beyond the school year. This legislation empowers 

the school to begin the season before school starts, or play 

through postseason elimination in spring sports. 

Case BL-26-2- How is Bylaw 26, Section 1 interpreted for 

summer play? 

GENERAL RULES REGARDING SUMMER PLAY- Individual 

athletes and athletic teams representing member schools may 

participate in non-school competition following the conclusion 

of the school year provided that such competition is not in 

confl ict with other KHSAA Bylaws. School based play during 

the summer (other than fall sports after July 15) is governed 

by the local Board of Education (except for the Dead Period 

restrictions) and the local Board of Education assumes all 

responsibility. 

INSURANCE COVERAGE DURING THE SUMMER- Insurance 

coverage provided by the Association, including but not limited 

to the Catastrophic Insurance Plan does not apply to students 

participating in such activities as Amateur Athletic Union and 

other non-school or out of season play in the summer. The 

provisions of the Association insurance plan do not cover 

students attending individual or team camps during the summer 

in any sport prior to the fi rst legal day of practice. This summer 

exclusion also applies to members of the cheerleading squad. 

Case BL-26-3- According to Bylaw 26, Section 1, is it 

possible for the student to complete play on a school 

team after he/she graduates from high school? 

Yes. Any participant is eligible to continue participating in KHSAA 

sponsored state championship competition in baseball, fast 

pitch softball, tennis and track, even if their spring semester 

has ended. Only students eligible during the spring semester 

may practice or compete on any of the teams mentioned. 


Case BL-26-4- According to Bylaw 26, Section 1, may 

practice and play be held in KHSAA sports or sport 

activities prior to the start of school? 

Yes. Students may begin offi cial practice and play for fall KHSAA 

sports and sport activities in cheerleading, cross country, 

football, golf, soccer, and volleyball as part of the school 

team even if the school year has not yet begun. Only students 

eligible at the conclusion of the spring semester may practice or 

compete on any of the teams in these fall sports on the school 

team until school resumes. 

Allowances and restrictions for play and practice by studentathletes 

in the fall sports (cheerleading, cross country, football, 

golf, soccer, and volleyball) prior to July 15 and in all other 

sports for the duration of the summer period after the end of 

the previous school year and prior to the start of school are 

governed by the local Board of Education (except for the Dead 

Period restrictions) and the local Board of Education assumes 

all responsibility and liability. 

Case BL-26-5- How long do the restrictions on basketball 

teams last according to Bylaw 26, Section 2? 

Due to the staggered start of school throughout the state, and the 

competitive imbalance of a fi xed date for ending the restrictions, 

the end of the prohibited period in basketball will be the LATER 

of the fi rst date of school for the students or August 1. 

Case BL-26-6- Do the summer restrictions in Bylaw 26, 

Section 2 apply to girls basketball teams? 

No. The prohibitions on school vs. school play during July apply 

only to boys basketball. 

Case BL-26-7- Do the summer restrictions in Bylaw 26, 

Section 2 apply to non-football schools? 

Yes. In order to preserve competitive balance, the restrictions on 

school vs. school participation in July for boys basketball apply 

equally whether or not the school offers a football team. 


permissible for the school football team to play against 

other outside non-school football teams or compete 

without their coach present from June 1 through the 

start of the Dead Period? 

No. The purpose of the restriction is to have a time when school 

required play is not conducted, and playing against other 

organized teams will be treated the same as playing against 

another school team. Both are type of play are prohibited in 

football from June 1 through the start of the dead period. 


permisible for a school basketball team to compete 

against other outside non-school basketball teams or 

compete without their coach present after the Dead 

Period and through the start of school? 

No. The purpose of the restriction is to have a time when school 

required play is not conducted, and playing against other 

organized teams will be treated the same as playing against 

another school team. Both are type of play are prohibited in 

basketball from the end of the Dead Period through the fi rst 

day of school. 

Case BL-26-10- In accordance with Bylaw 26, Section 

3, what are the scheduled dates of the KHSAA Dead 

Period? 

June 25 through July 9 each year. The Dead Period starts on June 

25 beginning at 12:01 a.m. and continues through the 11:59 

p.m. on July 9. 

Case BL-26-11- What is the purpose of the Dead Period 

(Bylaw 26, Section 3)? 

Over the years, many sometimes overzealous coaches have 

required their players to play scores of games throughout the 

summer, in addition to a year-round workout regimen. While 

this may seem to be in the best interest of developing sports 

talent, such is not the purpose of high school athletics. 

High school sports are to supplement classroom learning and 

allow for in-season competitive opportunities, not a year round 

Olympic or professional development period. Families were 

complaining that they could not plan vacations and family 

outings because of coach’s requirements and athletes were 

complaining of burn out. In addition, schools were increasingly 

concerned with liability issues related to the summer. In a 

survey conducted by the KHSAA, 80% of superintendents, 

principals and athletic directors who returned the survey 

indicated they supported a “dead period” in the summer. 

Initial responses were overwhelmingly in support of a four 

(4) week dead period. The primary intent of the regulation is 

to eliminate, for an approximately two (2) week period, the 

leverage a coach has over his/her high school athletes. 

Case BL-26-12– What restrictions are in place for the 

member schools during the KHSAA Dead Period (Bylaw 

26, Section 3) including restrictions on facilities? 

The following restrictions are in place for member school 

representatives (including groups of schools and school 

representatives, booster organizations) during the dead period, 

and apply to all persons connected with the member school, 

including coaches: 

1) School or booster funds may not be expended during this 

dead period; 

2) No activity for a student-athlete may be required by a school 

representative in any sport during the Dead Period. There 

may be no penalties assessed, expressed or implied for nonparticipation 

during that period; 

3) An entry fee may not be paid for a team into a league, camp 

or tournament; There can be no expenditure for camps, clinics, 

etc. which any of the players will attend; 

4) Other necessary fees including offi ciating fees and game or 

facility management fees may not be paid; 

5) Transportation or funding for transportation for team 

members may not be provided for student-athletes to go to 

games, camps or tournaments; 

6) The school athletics facilities may not be used for organized 

competition at which students from the high school are 

participants and for which no rental/lease arrangement exists 

using comparable regional fair market values; 

7) The school athletics facilities may not be used for organized 

competition at which students from the school are participants 

and at which members of the high school coaching staff are 

involved in coaching or facility management and preparation; 

8) The school nickname, school name or other accepted likeness 

may not be used on school issued apparel, and the school 

name, nickname or other accepted likeness may not be used 

in any other facet of athletic activity; 

9) No fund raising activity may require the participation, either 

implicitly or explicitly, of the student-athlete or parents; and 

the students and coaches cannot be together in any of these 

type activities; 

10) School owned or issued equipment may not be used, 

including but not limited to football or baseball catching gear, 

by any athlete with eligibility remaining; 

11) There cannot be money spent on travel to or from a camp, 

clinic or other activity during the Dead Period, even if none of 

the practice, competition or evaluation occurs during the Dead 

Period as this is an expenditure of school funds or resources in 

support of athletics; and 

12) There cannot be distribution of equipment to studentathletes 

nor distribution of uniforms or other items during the 

Dead Period. 

Case BL-26-13– What specifi c restrictions are in place 

for coaches (paid or unpaid, at any level grade 9-12) 

including cheer for the KHSAA Dead Period (Bylaw 26, 

Section 3) if the activity involves a student enrolled at 

the member school where a coach is employed? 

Coaching, for the purposes of the Dead Period, is defi ned as 

any time the athletes are participating in that coach’s sport 

in a setting in which skills are taught, refi ned, practiced or 

evaluated. Attendance at a scrimmage or contest is included 

in the defi nition of coaching. This coaching restriction includes 

all members of the athletic coaching staff, paid or unpaid. 

This restriction prohibits the delegation or assignment of 

activities by any member of the coaching staff to other 

individuals, including student-athletes who may or may not be 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

participating. All coaching restrictions are in place whether the 

activity is conducted within, or outside of the school 

The following restrictions are in place for these individuals: 

1) No coach may coach a student-athlete in any setting if that 

student-athlete has previously represented the high school 

(varsity, jv, or freshman) and if sports specifi c skills are being 

taught, refi ned, developed or evaluated; 

2) No coach in a sport at a school may coach other individuals

6) No member of the coaching staff may assist in making 

game-like preparations for the school facility including 

but not limited to, baseline marking, outfi eld line marking, 

batter’s box marking, maintenance of the mound and base 

cut-outs; or the use of school facilities or equipment for such 

setup. This does not preclude the coaching staff or others 

participating in non-sports specifi c off-season turf or other 

facility maintenance; 

7) No fund raising activity may be held during the period which 

would require the student-athlete and the coach to be present. 

These activities are inherently or specifi cally mandatory for 

the student-athletes and may not be held during the dead 

period. Simply stating that something is not mandatory does 

not in and of itself make the activity legal. Even if an activity 

is totally optional, it is not permitted for the coach(es) and 

student-athletes to be together during this period; 

8) There can be no coaching of athletes in a particular sport 

by coaches from the same school who coach in another 

sport. The coaching prohibition is on the institution, not the 

individual; and 

9) There can be no observation of student-athletes who are 

enrolled at the coach’s high school, even if such observation 

is in conjunction with outside employment such as camps, 

leagues or clinics. The only exception is detailed in the 

allowable activities concerning the observation of the coach’s 

children (blood or by marriage).

are not involved in any manner if a player is involved; 

2) A school may hold a celebratory activity or activities 

commemorating participation in the KHSAA State Tennis, 

Track, Softball or Baseball State Championships (Final state

in nature, featuring recognitions of the athletes and squad 

members. No practice, play or future season planning or 

activities may occur; 

3) A school may conduct its annual mass physical exams during 

this period provided there is no contact with any member 

of the coaching staff for any reason and this is not the sole 

opportunity provided to the students at that member school; 

4) Coaches who have a son or daughter (blood or by marriage) 

participating may attend contests. Even with attendance 

allowed, this person cannot be involved in coaching the team; 

5) Coaches may be involved with outside activities and leagues

Bylaw 10, Recruitment; 

6) Member schools may allow camps to be conducted for nonhigh 

school students on school athletic property by high 

school coaches during this period provided there is no contact

8) Students who are members of the same high school team 

may participate together in outside competition as long as 

a member of the high school coaching staff does not coach

Case BL-26-16- Does Bylaw 26, Section 3 apply to 

cheerleaders and cheerleading? 

Yes. Any sport or sports activity governed by the KHSAA

Bylaw 33. 

Case BL-27-1- What is coaching as used in Bylaw 27? 

Coaching is defi ned as any activity by the coach at a time the 

athletes are participating in skills (either preparatory or specifi c 

to that sport) in a setting in which skills are taught, refi ned, or 

practiced. Coincident participation by a coach and an athlete in 

a sport such as a golf outing, where the coach and athlete(s) 

are not entered as a entry or group, or in an activity such as 

distance running with many runners but no direct coaching, 

would not specifi cally be considered coaching. 

Case BL-27-2- What are the Association requirements for 

coaches? 

All coaches may be certifi ed teachers who are members of their 

regular school systems, and their classroom, gymnasium, or 

other assignments shall be a minimum of three regular periods. 

There are allowances for the hiring of paraprofessional assistant 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

coaches and non-faculty assistants. The word “certifi ed” in the 

Bylaw is interpreted to mean holding a teaching certifi cate. 

Case BL-27-3- What is a Head Coach as referred in Bylaw 

27? 

The Head Coach is the head varsity coach for each sport unless 

stated specifi cally within the provision of the rule. A persons’ 

designation as “head junior varsity coach” is simply an assistant 

coach with respect to this rule. 

Case BL-27-4– Is it permissible for a school to utilize 

someone as a Level 2 “coach” who does not have 64 

credit hours from an accredited college or university as 

defi ned in Bylaw 27? 

Yes. Through action taken by the Kentucky General Assembly 

(HB327), schools may utilize additional individuals as coaches 

who do not meet the previous Level 2 requirements. 

In order to designate/hire/employ a Level 2 Coach without 64 

hours (aka a HB327 coach), the member school shall adhere to 

the following guidelines: 

1) Preference shall be given to the hiring or assignment of 

certifi ed personnel in coaching positions; and 

2) Application shall be made to the KHSAA with the 

accompanying form GE40 indicating compliance with age and 

background check restrictions and the successful completion 

of CPR certifi cation (including AED training) and the online 

Sports Safety Course. 

In order to be considered a Level 2 Coach without 64 hours (aka 

a HB327 coach), prospective coach shall meet the following 

qualifi cations: 

1) The prospective coach shall be a high school graduate, at least 

twenty-one (21) years of age and shall submit to a criminal 

background check in accordance with KRS 160.380; 

2) Professional development training approved by the KHSAA 

shall be used in lieu of postsecondary education (sixtyfour) 

credit hour requirements. Prior to the fi rst contest, a 

prospective HB327 coach shall have completed the following 

courses via www.nfhslearn.com: 

a) Engaging Effectively with Parents, 

b) Teaching and Modeling Behavior, 

c) Teaching Sports Skills OR a sports specifi c course, and 

d) Concussions in Sports. 

3) A local school board may specify post-hire requirements for 

personnel employed in coaching positions in addition to those 

specifi ed in subparagraph 3 of this paragraph. 

Case BL-27-5– Is it permissible for a school to utilize 

individuals who do not meet the Level 1 or Level 2 

requirements as “coaches” in the athletic program? 

No. Only those individuals who meet the requirements of Level 

1 and Level 2 are “coaches”. The use of other individuals for 

assistance with the program shall be governed by Local Board 

of Education and School based Decision Making Policy and shall 

comply with all state and local laws regarding involvement by 

non school personnel in school activities. 

Case BL-27-6– What restrictions are in place for those 

individuals that a school chooses to utilize (not as a 

coach) who do not meet the provisions of a Level 1 

coach or a Level 2 coach? 

Persons assigned to duties as assistants within the program shall 

be limited to the following responsibilities upon approval of such 

assignment by the proper school authorities and in compliance 

with all adopted regulations. This shall not preclude any person 

qualifying as a Level 1 or Level 2 coach from performing these 

tasks. 

1) Assisting the Level 1 and 2 person(s) assigned duties as a 

coach in daily and long range athletic activities; 


coach in planning the program; 


coach in guiding participants towards a harmonious team 

spirit; 

4) Alerting the Level 1 and 2 person(s) assigned duties as a coach 

to the special needs of individual athletes; 

5) Providing assistance with supervision of athletes during 

periods of team travel; 

6) Recommending to the Level 1 and 2 person(s) assigned duties 

as a coach the purchase of equipment, supplies, and uniforms 

as appropriate for the health, safety, and welfare of student 

athletes; 

7) Performing other non-coaching duties assigned by the 

principal, athletic director, or Level 1 or 2 person(s) assigned 

duties as a coach; 

8) No person other than those employed as a Level 1 or 2 coach 

shall be allowed to participate in any supervisory capacity with 

interscholastic athletic teams or cheerleading squads, perform 

any other “coaching duty” as prescribed by the playing rules 

within a sport, nor shall any otherwise qualifi ed person exceed 

his respective duties as set forth in this Bylaw. 

Case BL-27-7- Is it permissible for a person who is 

employed in one district, but serves as a full-time 

teacher in another district, to be employed to coach.? 

Yes, this person can be hired. However it should be noted that if 

these schools were not in the same school district under the 

same Board of Education, this person would be considered a 

Level 2 coach for the purposes of this bylaw. These provisions 

also apply to competitive cheer (spirit). 

Case BL-27-8- Is it permissible for a coach at a high 

school level team to coach another level within the 

school district outside of the Limitation of Seasons for 

the sport? 

Yes. As hiring decisions are to be made at the local level, any 

provisions preventing a coach from being involved with his/ 

her own players in play outside of the high school team DO 

NOT APPLY to other levels of play where the coach is hired 

by the same local Board of Education for interscholastic play. 

For example, the high school coach (any member of the staff) 

COULD be hired to coach the middle school basketball team 

within the same local Board of Education even if a member of 

that middle school team had played on the high school level 

(freshman, JV or varsity). 

Schools are cautioned that involving school coaches with nonhigh 

school teams, particularly in middle schools which feed 

more than one high school, should be monitored to ensure that 

problems related to Bylaw 10 (Recruitment) do not surface due 

to this coaching. 

Case BL-27-9– What restrictions are in place for schools 

who hire coaches who are retiring as teachers but 

want to remain in coaching? 

Individuals retiring from service to Kentucky schools, either as 

members of the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System, or the 

Kentucky Employees Retirement System, should consult the 

system with regard to re-employment provisions. Certifi ed 

employees will need to have a KTRS Form E30 approved, which 

can only be done post-retirement, in order to comply with the 

regulations of the system. In addition, school representatives 

should note that a retired coach who is no longer teaching in 

the district becomes a Level 2 Coach and is required (if not 

already completed) to successfully complete the Coaching 

Education program and other Level 2 requirements. 

Case BL-27-10– Does retiring, resigning or otherwise 

being relieved of coaching duties waive any of the 

requirements for coaching if the coach is later asked to 

come back into coaching in that sport at that school? 

No. A coach resigning, retiring or being otherwise relieved of 

coaching following a sports season does not relieve himself/ 

herself of the responsibilities such as medical symposium 

attendance if in fact that are rehired for the following year. 

Case BL-27-11- Does the KHSAA have regulations 

regarding job postings for the hiring of coaches? 

No. Bylaw 27 includes the requirements for those holding 

positions, but hiring, posting and employment policies are 

established at the local school district level. Schools shall 

comply with published rules on all postings within the district, 

as well as all other KDE hiring regulations. 


Case BL-27-12– Are coaches required to be paid a salary 

and how do member schools hire coaches? 

No, there is no salary requirements. Bylaw 27 restrictions apply 

whether or not the coach is paid, regardless of the level (varsity, 

JV, freshman). Bylaw 27 states that “any person assigned to 

coaching duties at any level (grades 9-12) shall be duly employed 

through the respective board of education, and the entire 

coaching salary shall be paid through such board in accordance 

with local Board of Education Policy.” The provisions specifi cally 

address all Level 1 and Level 2 coaches. These coaches shall be 

designated, appointed, approved, or hired within the published 

policies of the Local Board of Education. Coaching salaries 

(including whether or not coaches are paid) are the jurisdiction 

of the Board of Education through the budgeting process. There 

may be some cases, at the discretion of the school and school 

system, where Level 1 or 2 coaches are appointed at no salary. 

This is permissible as long as they have been duly designated 

through the policies of the local school or Board of Education. If 

a salary is paid, it shall be paid entirely through the local Board 

of Education. 

The KHSAA has no jurisdiction as to whether or not persons that 

are neither Level 1 nor Level 2 are used within the athletic 

program. Local Board of Education policies should address 

persons that do not meet the requirements of a Level 1 or 2 

coach, and the terms and conditions of their designation shall 

be in accordance applicable state law. Allowable duties for 

those individuals are restricted by Case BL-27-6. 

Case BL-27-13- Is it permissible for a coach to receive 

in-service credit for Sports Safety Course, Medical 

Symposium or Coaching Education Attendance? 

This is a local district option. The Kentucky Department of 

Education no longer has specifi c approval for certain types of 

in-service credit. According to the department, the four basic 

(traditional) days and the additional fi ve days, if part of the 

approved program of in-service in a district, may count in any 

manner approved by the local district. Such things as workshops 

and conferences, particularly on timely topics such as HIV and 

blood borne pathogen education, are not only approvable, 

but also encouraged by the department. The important key 

is the inclusion in the local district in-service or professional 

development program. 

Case BL-27-14- Who has to take the coaching education 

course? 

If a person was not on the faculty at the school or within the 

school system he/she desires to coach in 1995-96, they shall 

take the course. This includes Level 1 head and assistant 

coaches (who were not on the 1995-96 faculty), and Level 2 

head and assistant coaches. Whether or not the person was a 

coach on the staff is irrelevant to this requirement as faculty 

status is the determinant. 

Case BL-27-15- If a coach has completed the Coaching 

Education course and changes schools or districts, do 

they have to re-take the course? 

No. The coaching certifi cation is a one-time certifi cation and is 

not required to be repeated if all of the requirements have been 

completed. 

Case BL-27-16– Is a school compelled to pay the required 

fee for a coach to take the required Coaching Education 

course? 

No, this is a local district option. The payment (or reimbursement) 

of the fee is not mandatory. Districts who are paying the fee 

for the coaches may not reimburse the fee to the coaches until 

all requirements including the applicable tests, are completed. 

Case BL-27-17- What is the Sports Safety Course and who 

is required to take the course? 

HB383 of the 2009 Kentucky General Assembly required each 

coach to complete a Sports Safety Course in order to coach, 

and to remain current by taking an approved course every two 

years. The course shall be taught by a Medical Doctor, a Doctor 

of Osteopathy, Registered Nurse or Certifi ed Athletic Trainer. A 

coach that has not taken and successfully completed the course 

will not be able to coach at practice or contests. Beginning in 

2011-12, the Course has been updated and consolidated with 

the Medical Symposium requirements. Coaches must remain 

current in the requirement to be able to be at practice or 

competition. 

Because of the consolidation of the courses, administrators are 

reminded of the following implementation: 

If a coach attended Medical Symposium in 2009, the coach was 

required to complete the new course by August 15. 

If a coach attended Medical Symposium in 2010, but sports 

safety in 2009-2010, the coach was required to complete the 

new course by August 15 

If a coach attended the Medical Symposium in 2010, and 

the sports safety in 2010, the coach can wait until the fi rst 

requirement is due. 

Many administrators have informed the offi ce that due to the 

diffi culty in determining who is due for which course, they 

will simply require all to take it now, therefore resetting all of 

the due dates. That is a local school and district decision, but 

highly advised. 

Case BL-27-18- What is the penalty for failing to 

be current in the Sports Safety Course/Medical 

Symposium? 

The coach shall not be permitted to be involved in practice or 

competition until current. There is no grace period. 

Case BL-27-19– Are cheer coaches required to meet the 

requirements of Bylaw 27? 

Yes, all requirements within Bylaw 27 also apply to cheer 

coaches. 

BYLAW 28. DISTRIBUTION OF TOURNAMENT PROFITS 

In any regular season tournament, at least seventy-fi ve percent of 

the net profi t shall be distributed among the participating schools. 

An expense allowance shall be given to each participating school for 

transportation, meals, and lodging. 

BYLAW 29. OFFICIALS OFFICIALS DIVISION OF THE ASSOCIATION 

Sec. 1) Offi cials Who License: 

Any person who offi ciates in baseball, basketball, football, soccer, 

softball (slow and fast pitch), swimming, volleyball and wrestling 

in grades 9 through 12 between member schools of the Association 

shall be licensed by the Commissioner and shall carry an offi cial 

card indicating that licensing. All offi cials in baseball, basketball, 

football and softball shall be required to join a local offi cials 

association as described in the KHSAA Offi cials’ Guidebook. 

Sec. 2) Clinics 

Each offi cial licensed with the KHSAA shall annually attend at 

least one rules interpretation clinic conducted by representatives 

of the KHSAA in the sport in which he or she is licensed. 

Sec. 3) Cancellation of License 

The KHSAA may cancel or refuse the license renewal of any 

offi cial in any sport for cause as detailed in the KHSAA Offi cials 

Guidebook. 

Sec. 4) Acceptance of Assignments 

An offi cial shall accept assignments in the amount of time and in 

the manner prescribed by the local offi cial’s association to which 

he or she belongs. The penalty for an offi cial’s failure to work an 

assigned game, unless providentially prevented from doing so, 

may be cause for up to a one-year suspension in that sport. 

Sec. 5) Violation of Contracts 

The Board of Control shall protect both the offi cials and the 

schools against violations pertaining to assignments. 

Sec. 6) Local Policy Boards/Committees 

The Commissioner may establish as many bureaus as deemed 

necessary in each sport in order to assign offi cials to games in 

accordance with the Federal Court Decree of 1971. 

Sec. 7) Governance 

The Offi cials Guidebook, published annually by the Association, 

shall govern all offi cials licensed with the KHSAA. 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

Case BL-29-1- If an offi cial is suspended will he/she be 

allowed to offi ciate in other sports during the oneyear 

suspension? 

Yes. Unless violation is of extreme nature, suspension is 

applicable only to the sport in which violation occurs. 

Case BL-29-2- If an offi cial loses his/her rating due to 

suspension; will he/she be allowed to qualify for the 

higher rating the next offi ciating season? 

Yes. Even though the offi cial will not be able to offi ciate any 

games in that sport until the suspension is concluded, he/ 

she may continue licensing, attend the clinic, and take the 

examination for higher rating that can be issued immediately 

upon completion of the suspension. 

Case BL-29-3- Are there rules, statutes or documents 

that govern licensed KHSAA offi cials, assigning 

secretaries and the KHSAA Offi cials Division? 

Yes. The Offi cials Division exists because of the 1971 Federal 

Consent Decree that resulted from a matter initially litigated 

regarding Offi cials’ Assignments. This decree is found in the 

KHSAA Policies and Procedures section of the Handbook. In 

addition, each year the Board of Control annually approves 

the Offi cials Guidebook, a comprehensive set of regulations 

and standards which govern the Offi cials Division. These 

provisions also require compliance with criminal records 

checks and other information as may be requested by the 


BYLAW 30. COACHES NOT TO OFFICIATE 

Coaches or persons connected with the competing schools shall 

not offi ciate at contests, unless the written consent of all competing 

schools is given. 

Case BL-30-1- Is it permissible for administrators 

or other school personnel to offi ciate in contests 

involving their team? 

No, in the team sports of baseball, basketball, football, 

soccer, softball and volleyball, coaches (paid or unpaid) are 

prohibited from offi ciating in contests involving their schools, 

as are principals, superintendents, assigning secretaries and 

other parties directly affi liated with the competing schools 

unless approval from all teams is received in writing. For the 

interpretation of these rules, a contest is defi ned as a regular 

season contest, game, tournament, or any postseason game 

or tournament in which his or her school is participating. 

For the purpose of the individual sports of bowling, cross country, 

golf, swimming, tennis, track and wrestling, the use of such 

persons as offi cials is almost a requirement for a successful 

meet and to have enough staff to administer all meet 

functions. Event managers are strongly encouraged to monitor 

the placement of coaches within events where they might 

have authority over one of their own athletes, and to make 

adjustments to the schedule of events or to the assignment of 

offi cials in order to prevent confl icts of interest. If a school is 

notifi ed in advance that a coach will be involved in offi ciating 

and chooses to come to that contest, they are considered to 

have agreed to the use of the coach as an offi cial. 

BYLAW 31. USE OF LICENSED OFFICIALS 

Only offi cials licensed with the Offi cials Division of the Association 

shall be assigned or employed to offi ciate in baseball, basketball, 

football, soccer, softball, volleyball or wrestling in all competition 

involving grades nine (9) through twelve (12). The Commissioner 

may approve exceptions to this policy in writing. 

Case BL-31-1- Is a school obligated to use licensed 

baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball, 

volleyball and wrestling offi cials? 

The use of licensed offi cials is a requirement, the penalty for 

violation being possible suspension of the school or the offi cial. 

If there is any question about an offi cial being licensed, he/she 

should be asked to show his/her license. 

Individuals offi ciating a high school contest, while not properly 

licensed with the KHSAA, may be fi ned as well as the member 

school being penalized in accordance with Bylaw 33. 

Member schools should refer to the KHSAA website for updated 

offi cials listings. 

The Commissioner’s offi ce may also impose a fi ne on any assigning 

secretary who assigns an unlicensed offi cial to a contest. 

BYLAW 32. AGREEMENT REGARDING PROFESSIONAL 

BASEBALL CONTRACTS 

A student of a KHSAA member school shall not sign a professional 

baseball contract until the day following his graduation, or if he 

has left school, until the day following the graduation of his class; 

nor shall any representative of professional baseball initiate or 

participate in any negotiations which would violate the student’s 

high school athletic eligibility; except that a student that has been 

out of school one year or longer may, with the consent of his or 

her parents, apply to the Major League Baseball Commissioner for 

permission to sign a contract and if, in the judgment of the Major 

League Baseball Commissioner, the circumstances justify it, he shall 

approve the application and so notify all major league baseball clubs. 

A player may be signed to a professional contract fi fteen (15) days 

subsequent to the day of the Major League Baseball Commissioner’s 

notice. Any school whose employee or offi cial encourages or 

collaborates in negotiations that violate this agreement shall be 

suspended from the KHSAA for a period to be determined by the 

Board of Control. 

BYLAW 33. IMPOSITION OF PENALTIES 

Sec. 1) Authority to Penalize 

If Association rules and regulations have been violated, penalties 

may be imposed on the offending schools or individual within 

the defi ned parameters of this bylaw, the KHSAA Due Process 

Procedure, and KRS Chapter 13B. These penalties may be by the 

Commissioner’s offi ce, the KHSAA Hearing Offi cer or the Board 

of Control dependent upon the specifi cs of the bylaw, KHSAA 

Due Process Procedure, or KRS Chapter 13B. Each member school 

of the KHSAA through its Principal shall ensure that its athletic 

program remains compliant with KHSAA rules. 

A member school, student, coach, or administrator shall not be 

punished or sanctioned, in any manner, by the KHSAA for allowing 

a student to play in an athletic contest or practice with the team 

during a time when an order of a court of competent jurisdiction 

permits the student to participate or otherwise stays or enjoins 

enforcement of a fi nal KHSAA decision on eligibility 

For violation of any rule or regulation by any member school 

or school designated staff, student-athlete, offi cial, or other 

representative, the penalty as may be called for under the specifi c 

rule or regulation, or, in case no specifi c penalty is called for, 

disciplinary action, including warning, reprimand, probation, 

suspension, or payment of a fi ne may be imposed. 

a) FINE 

A fi ne may be levied in lieu of, or in addition to, any other 

penalty imposed upon the school and may only be levied against 

a member school. The Board of Control shall adopt a schedule 

of fi nes and publish said schedule annually in the Association 

Handbook. The fi ne schedule shall also include any amounts 

paid by the Association or received by the school as a result of 

postseason competition. A fi ne shall not be levied against any 

individual within the interscholastic athletic program but may 

only be levied against the member school and only for selected 

violations as determined by the Board of Control. 

b) FORFEIT 

The forfeit of contests or meets may be included in penalties 

assessed for violation of Association rules. 

c) WARNING 

A warning may be issued which is written notifi cation that a 

violation, or an inexcusable or unethical action, has occurred, 

is a matter of record, and that the action shall not be repeated. 

d) LETTER OF REPRIMAND 

A written reprimand of the individual, program, or school may 

be issued if a violation of the rules has occurred which was 

preventable. The action is a matter of record, and warnings that 

repeat actions of this type may be cause for further penalty. 

e) PROBATION 

Probation is a more severe penalty and may be described in 

the following manner. Normally, an individual or a school on 

probation is on conditional Association membership, but may be 


permitted to engage in a regular schedule, sanctioned events, 

or district, regional and state championships. This is provided 

that the individual or school has taken steps to ensure the 

problem which placed the individual or school on probation has 

been alleviated and will not re-occur. Additionally, a school on 

probation may be restricted to limits on scrimmages, regular 

season contests or post season competition as may be deemed 

appropriate. 

f) SUSPENSION 

An individual participant, coach, specifi c sport or school may be 

suspended from competition or from scrimmage participation. 

This penalty may range from the elimination of individual or 

team(s) participation in games, tournaments, meets or state 

championship competition, to suspension of the school from the 

Association. Individuals or teams suspended may not engage in 

contests with member schools of the Association, or with any 

other school that is a member of another state associated with 

the National Federation of State High School Associations. 

g) RESTITUTION 

A fi ne may be levied equal to the amount of itemized legal fees 

expended by the Association in defense of its rules in a court 

of law in cases where a school or school system is directly or 

indirectly involved in the legal challenge of an association rule 

which has passed via the proper Constitutional process and in 

which case, the Association prevails in court. If the Association, 

its Commissioner, or other persons associated or employed 

by the Association are named as a party, or if the Association 

intervenes in any action to enforce a ruling, bylaw or other 

provision, it shall be presumed that the school where the 

student attends or the coach or other person is employed or 

is otherwise associated or connected, is involved in the legal 

challenge. The presumption of involvement may be rebutted by 

clear and convincing evidence. Involvement includes providing 

testimony, staff, staff legal counsel or funds for counsel, or direct 

fi lings by or on behalf of the school or school system. 

If the Association conducts an investigation regarding any 

player, coach, assistant coach, paraprofessional, booster, 

supporter or other person associated with a team, program or 

member school, and the investigation results in any penalty 

being imposed by the Association, the school may be required 

to pay all costs of that investigation. The costs may include the 

costs, fees and expenses charged by an investigator, and the 

costs, fees and expenses charged by the Association’s legal 

counsel. 

h) PERMANENT SUSPENSION 

Any coach, participant or other school representative may be 

permanently suspended from involvement in interscholastic 

athletics in this state if found by competent and conclusive 

evidence to be guilty of assaulting a sports offi cial. 

i) REDISTRIBUTION 

If a school is found to have used an ineligible competitor and 

as an extension to the fi ne penalty listed above, it may be 

directed that a portion or all of the net proceeds received from 

a postseason contest or tournament be returned to the host or 

redistributed to the other contest or tournament participants. 

j) VACATE/STRIKE 

If a school is found to have used an ineligible competitor, it 

may be directed that 1) Individual records and performances be 

vacated or stricken; 2) Team records and performances including 

place fi nishes be vacated or stricken; or 3) Individual or team 

awards be returned to the Association. 

Case BL-33-1- What level of institutional control is 

the principal of each member school expected to 

maintain? 

There are several principles that go into the concept of 

maintaining institutional control. Control shall fi rst be defi ned 

in common sense terms and is best summarized by the school 

having in place the proper policies to ensure that violations 

do not occur, and if they do occur, the Principal exhibiting 

the leadership and duty to correct the problems and prevent 

recurrence. In general violations do not result from a lack of 

institutional control if there are adequate preventive measures 

in place that are properly monitored and followed, and if swift 

action is taken. 

However, there are several things that demonstrate a lack of 

institutional control including the failure to implement proper 

preventive procedures; failure by members of the designated 

athletic staff to thoroughly investigate and report violations; 

failure to adequately disseminate and distribute compliance 

information; failure to adequately distribute compliance duties 

to allow for effective control; failing to make clear to all coaches 

and participants that rules violations will not be tolerated, 

failing to fully investigate and fi le reports as requested when 

potential violations are reported; a head coach failing to create 

a compliant atmosphere with the assistant coaches. 

The KHSAA enforces its rules based on the following premises- 

KHSAA regulations and information are readily available 

to the member schools and general public; the Principal or 

Designated Representative properly distributes information, 

rules manuals, communication, forms, and other needed 

materials to the members of the athletics staff; that meaningful 

education programs are conducted within the schools to 

ensure compliance; student-athletes are properly informed 

about rules prior to and during participation. Certainly the 

compliance history of a school and its cooperative spirit during 

any investigation or inquiry will factor into any penalty decision 

regarding violations. 

Case BL-33-2- What are the possible penalties under 

Bylaw 33 for the violations of KHSAA rules? 

Through the Due Process Procedure, the Commissioner may 

impose penalties under Bylaw 33, including each of the ten 

listed options. When cases are before the Board of Control, the 

Board has the same penalty options available. 

Suspension, either of an individual or a program, is one of those 

penalties and could involve removal and restriction from 

contests or a reduction in schedule. 

Other penalty options include Fine, Forfeit, Warning, Letter of 

Reprimand, Probation, Restitution, Permanent Suspension, 

Redistribution and Vacating/Striking. Each of these is described 

in detail in Bylaw 33. 

Case BL-33-3- What is a contest offi cial as described in 

the permanent suspension provisions? 

A contest offi cial could be one of the game offi cials (referees), 

scorers, timers, or other game management personnel working 

in an offi cial capacity at the contest. 

Case BL-33-4- Are penalties from the KHSAA necessary 

when schools violate rules that are more stringent 

than KHSAA standards? 

No. This is a situation between the member schools and is not 

a matter for Association review. For example, if a school has 

a more stringent academic requirement than the KHSAA 

minimum standard and then inadvertently allows a player to 

compete who is eligible by KHSAA rules, but not by local rules, 

KHSAA penalties do not apply. However, the offending school 

should report these situations to the opponents and take 

whatever agreed action is necessary. 

Case BL-33-5- What are the penalties and how does the 

forfeit rule apply to games cancelled due to violation 

of the provisions of the KHSAA Title IX plan and the 

prime-time play initiative in basketball? 

Each year, the KHSAA shall audit all girls’ regular season 

basketball schedules (hereinafter “current schedule”). These 

annual audits shall begin with the fi rst legal regular season 

playing date. Schools that are not in compliance with the 

forty (40) percent requirement on the fi rst playing date shall 

be contacted on or before December 31 of the playing season 

in an effort to allow for schedule corrections or revisions to 

comply with the forty (40) percent requirement. The school 

shall be notifi ed of the potential penalties for non compliance 

with this correspondence. 

Schedules shall be posted on the KHSAA website in the manner as 

instructed by the Commissioner’s offi ce prior to the published 

deadline. Schedules shall be accurate and include entry and 

designation of games that are involved in tournaments, 

classics, festivals and other multi-game events. 

At the end of the regular playing season, the schedules shall be 

audited for fi nal compliance with the requirement. 


Bylaws Bylaws

Bylaws Bylaws 

Based on the fi nal audit at the end of regular season, if a member 

school’s total home games for girls’ do not comply with the 

forty (40) percent requirement, the following penalty shall be 

applied: 

1) The boys’ regular season total game schedule for the 

following school year’s basketball season shall be reduced 

by two games as compared to the current boys’ schedule; 

2) The overall two contest reduction shall be achieved by 

reducing boys’ home games; 

3) In the case that a school does not have any home games, 

the two game penalty shall be applied to away games; 

4) In the event that this penalty is imposed, the offending 

school shall count the game as a forfeit with respect to 

KHSAA Bylaws and shall comply with the provisions of 

Bylaw 24 as it relates to forfeit fees and other penalties. 

The game may not be replaced on the offending team’s 

schedule but may be replaced on the opponent schedule; 

5) Schools may not schedule or enter additional tournaments 

from the benchmark year as a means of circumventing the 

penalties within this policy; and 

6) Schools will be notifi ed of the reduction in the allowable 

boys’ games for the following season after the conclusion 

of the current season. 

As an example: 

On the fi rst legal playing date for the season, Jones High 

School’s regular season girls’ basketball schedule refl ects they 

are not playing forty (40) percent of their girls’ total number of 

home games on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday. Jones High 

School is audited again at the end of the season, and does not 

meet the forty (40) percent requirement. 

During that same season, the boys’ total number of regular 

season games played is 23. Within this 23 count, there are 21 

single games being played and two tournaments counted in a 

reduced fashion per the rule. The boys’ team played six regular 

season home single games. 

Due to non-compliance with the forty (40) percent requirement 

for girls’, Jones High School’s total number of allowable boys’ 

regular season single games for the following regular season 

shall be reduced to 21. This reduction would not apply to the 

allowable two tournaments that may be counted in a reduced 

fashion. 

In this example, the total allowable number of regular season 

home games for the following season may not exceed four 

single games. 

Should this reduction occur, the KHSAA Staff shall work with 

member schools to accomplish the identifi ed contractual 

game reductions.

KHSAA DUE PROCESS PROCEDURE 













In compliance with KRS Chapter 13B, the Board of Control of the 

Kentucky High School Athletic Association has adopted the following 

Due Process Procedure. Only relevant, additional defi nitions are listed 

in this procedure, and all other procedural questions, defi nitions and 

interpretations default to the current adopted version of Chapter 

13B. 

1. Defi nitions 

“Agency Head” means the Commissioner of the KHSAA or the 

person designated with the authority in the event of his or her 

inability to serve, and who is responsible for entry of a fi nal 

order in Hearing Offi cer Matters. 

“Aggrieved Party” means the person within the confi nes of 

KRS Chapter 13B who is directly involved and aggrieved in a 

decision made within this Procedure. This could include but not

SPORTS SANCTIONING / SPONSORSHIP POLICY 

Requirements For Sanctioning A Sport 

The KHSAA Board of Control sanctions (approved for practice and 

play and provides the Catastrophe Insurance for) all events for which 

the KHSAA sponsors a state high school championship and all events 

in which the KHSAA provides rules interpretation clinics but does 

not sponsor state high school championships. Under this defi nition, 

the sports of baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, fi eld 

hockey, football, golf, soccer, softball (fast pitch), swimming, tennis, 

indoor and outdoor track, volleyball and wrestling are insured. In 

addition, the catastrophic insurance shall cover competitive cheer 

competitions during which the competition is conducted within the 

stunt limitations of the National Federation Spirit Guide. 

This sanctioning shall allow students to participate in these sports 

as long as they are compliant with all applicable KHSAA bylaws 

regarding student eligibility. 

Method Of Determining Interest in New Sports 

The KHSAA shall survey its membership every three (3) years 

thereafter to measure desire for a new offering or elimination of an 

existing offering. The KHSAA Limitation of Seasons shall not address 

a specifi c sport unless and until it meets the desired participation 

threshold to allow for the maximum opportunity to expose the sport 

to growth. 

Schools Necessary to Start New Sport 

Unless otherwise approved by the Board of Control, in order for 

the KHSAA to sponsor a state playoff in a new sport, there shall 

be at least 10% of the member schools desiring to participate by 

showing a favorable response on the interest survey and the sport 

having participating schools in at least three basketball regions. 

Schools Necessary to Continue Existing Sport 

In order for the KHSAA to continue a playoff system for a sport and 

unless there is prevailing action by the Board of Control, there shall 

be at least 10% of the member schools desiring to participate by 

showing a favorable response on the interest survey and the sport 

having participating schools in at least three basketball regions. 


STUDENT CATASTROPHE INSURANCE 

Catastrophic Insurance Coverage 

At its discretion, the Board of Control may fund the payment of the 

premium for a Catastrophe Insurance program for student athletes 

who are members of sanctioned sports teams and cheerleading 

squads. Cheerleaders are included in the catastrophic insurance 

coverage if they comply with stunt limitations as enumerated by the 

National Federation Spirit Committee and KHSAA Bylaw 25. 

The Kentucky High School Athletic Association shall again 

maintain, at no additional cost to the member schools, catastrophic 

insurance coverage for all participants in interscholastic athletics 

while traveling to or from, practicing for, or participating in, 

an athletic contest sanctioned by the KHSAA during the period 

governed and defi ned by Bylaw 25. 

The policy is carried through Mutual of Omaha and is administered 

by a Kentucky based broker. The policy is only in effect during the 

defi ned Limitation of Seasons (Bylaw 25) and only during permissible 

activity. The policy carries a $25,000 deductible for regular season 

contests, and is considered “excess” insurance, which does not take 

force until all other existing sources of insurance by the participants’ 

family and school have been exhausted. The policy has a medical 

maximum payout of $5,000,000 with a 10-year benefi t period. 

At the present time, this policy shall cover - 

Those students participating in all events during the time defi ned 

by Bylaw 25 for which the KHSAA sponsors a state high school 

championship, 

Competitive cheer competitions during which the competition 

is conducted within the limitations of the National Federation 

Spirit Guide, and 

The preseason activity under the direct supervision of the high 

school coaches in football on or after July 15, provided that 

activity is on campus, non-contact, non-interscholastic and no 

equipment is worn with the exception of a helmet. 

This coverage specifi es that student-athletes are insured while 

representing a member school during the prescribed Limitation of 

Seasons in the sports of Baseball, Basketball, Bowling, Football, 

Golf, Soccer, Fast Pitch Softball, Swimming, Tennis, Track / Decathlon 

/ Heptathlon / Pentathlon / Cross Country, Volleyball, Wrestling and 

the sport activity of Competitive Cheer. 

Insurance Coverage Below The Catastrophe Deductible 

According to Bylaw 2, a school shall ensure that all of its student 

athletes are insured up to the deductible amount of the KHSAA 

Catastrophe policy before participation. The Board of Control 

and staff shall continue to study alternative methods of reducing 

insurance costs for the KHSAA and the cost of member schools 

providing this coverage for students.

promotion to the next grade, repeats a grade because he/she is 

among the smaller students in the class and/or to gain social 

and/ or emotional maturity shall not be suffi cient grounds for 

recommending a waiver. 

c) The fact that a student misses school for a prolonged period of 

time because of events that are/were beyond the control of the 

student and/or his/her parent or guardian, which events cause 

him/her to repeat a grade may be grounds for recommending a 

waiver provided the requisite documentation is present.

CHEERLEADING INFORMATION 

National Federation Policy Statement Concerning 

Cheerleaders 

Included in the statement of philosophy adopted by the NFHS Spirit 

Committee is the following: “Cheerleaders shall serve as a support 

group for the interscholastic athletic program within the schools, 

and, as such, play a very important role in the administration of 

athletics contests. Each squad shall strive to boost school spirit, 

promote good sportsmanship, develop positive crowd involvement, 

and help student participants and spectators achieve the most 

worthwhile educational objectives of the interscholastic program.” 

The philosophy statement also noted that cheerleading activities 

shall center on leading or directing the cheers of fans and that 

performing is a secondary role of cheerleading. 

The NFHS Spirit Committee noted that risk minimization is very 

important, and that responsibility for safety rests with each high 

school and the cheerleading coach / supervisor. 

Summary of Bylaw Applicability to Cheerleaders 

Bylaws 2, 25, 26, 27 and 33 are KHSAA requirements and 

regulations for cheer participants and teams. Other rules for 

eligibility for cheer participants shall be determined at the school 

level. 

KHSAA Eligibility Bylaw 2 specifi cally within its text requires a 

physical exam prior to participation by cheerleaders. This is essential 

for the KHSAA to maintain its current Catastrophic Insurance 

Coverage for Cheerleaders. 

KHSAA Eligibility Bylaws 3 (Age), 4 (Enrollment), 5 (Academic), 

6 (Domestic Transfer), 7 (Foreign Exchange Student), 8 (Out of 

Season Play), 9 (General Eligibility), 10 (Recruitment)12 (Amateur 

and Awards), and 13 (Financial Aid) do not apply to cheerleaders or 

any other sport or activity for which the KHSAA does not sponsor a 

championship. 

KHSAA Bylaw 25 (Limitation of Seasons), Bylaw 26 (Summer 

Dead Period) and Bylaw 27 (Requirement for Coaches) apply to 

cheerleaders and cheerleading coaches explicitly within the rule. 

KHSAA Bylaw 33 specifi cally applies to cheerleading in certain 

penalty provisions, including the penalty for performing a stunt not 

allowed by National Federation Rules. 

Title IX Applicability to Cheerleading 

Federal regulations state that cheerleading is not considered 

a sport for the purposes of counting sports participation for Title 

IX purposes. Further, the KHSAA defi nes “sport” in its bylaws as 

those athletic events for which the Association conducts a state 

championship or licenses offi cials. 

AMENDED FEDERAL CONSENT DECREE OF 1971 (1987) 

(2008) 

1. As provided by KRS 156.070, the State Board of Education, 

under its general powers and duties, has the management 

and control of the common schools. It is the judgment of the 

court that this responsibility and control cannot be avoided or 

relegated to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association and 

that the Board is accountable to see that the Kentucky High 

School Athletic Association, acting in a ministerial capacity, shall 

observe the requirements of the law in fostering and encouraging 

the participation in athletics of all who desire to so participate 

irrespective of race or color. Such participants shall be given 

a full and equal opportunity to have positions and places of 

responsibility in the high school athletic program in all its phases. 

2. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association shall continue under 

its rules and by-laws in the structure of its present organization 

subject to the directives of this decree. 

3. The constitution and by-laws of the Kentucky High School Athletic 

Association shall be changed and modifi ed as follows: 

(a) The members of the Board of Control shall be elected for a 

period of four years as now provided. There shall be 12 members 

of the Board of Control, at least two of which shall be black, and 

at least two of which shall be female. 

(b) The Commission shall be composed of a Commissioner and 

four or fi ve Assistant Commissioners, at least one of which shall 

be black and at least one of which shall be female. 

(c) The Delegate Assembly shall not be limited in its membership 

to Principals of accredited secondary schools of good standing 

in the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, but shall be 

composed of Administrators, Principals or faculty members of 

schools or school systems. While it is not practical to require 

a percentage of blacks to be named as Delegates, the districts 

shall bear in mind that a reasonable proportion of the Delegate 

Assembly shall be blacks. 

(d) Where the use of registered offi cials is required, the offi cials 

for each athletic contest in football, basketball and baseball 

shall be selected and shall be given to the schools involved 

at a reasonable time before the contest. Any head coach 

who objects to the selection of a certain offi cial or offi cials to 

serve in contests in which his team will participate shall have 

a right to fi le a written protest with the Commission if fi led a 

reasonable time before the contest. What is a reasonable time 

to be determined by the Commission. The Commission shall 

have a right to make any changes as it deems appropriate and 

in the best interest of the sport. It is recognized that to make 

out such a schedule is a very involved and tedious task and the 

Commission shall have authority to employ any assistance as it 

feels proper, subject, of course, to its supervision. 

4. The Association shall establish a list of qualifi ed offi cials to 

offi ciate in all high school sports and shall require that only such 

offi cials may offi ciate in interscholastic athletic competition. It 

may classify offi cials as Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 and in so 

doing may adopt the standards now employed by the Association. 

5. Pursuant to paragraph 5 of the original Decree herein fi led 

Kentucky High School Athletic Association was required to 

take affi rmative action to recruit black offi cials in the sports of 

basketball, football and baseball and was further required to report 

to the court within 60 days from the date of the original Decree 

concerning such action. An affi davit has been fi led in the record 

herein on November 15, 1971, showing the results of such action. 

Kentucky High School Athletic Association shall make available to 

all persons so recruited academic and practical training, including 

participation as offi cials in practice, junior varsity and similar 

contests. The objective shall be to cause such persons to become 

fully qualifi ed to participate as offi cials in varsity contests as soon 

as practicable. 

6. The Second Amended Answer of defendants, Kentucky High School 

Athletic Association and Ted Sanford, pleading the amendment of 

Article IV, Section 2(a) of the Constitution of Kentucky High School 

Athletic Association be and it is hereby ordered fi led and entered 

of record herein. 

7. Plaintiffs herein represent of record all blacks constituting a class 

so numerous to make it impracticable to bring them before this 

court. The questions of law and fact affecting the rights of those 

plaintiffs raised herein by pleadings and proof are common to all 

blacks and are typical of the claim of the class of blacks. Therefore 

plaintiffs herein represent of record as a class all blacks as a whole. 

The Court is fully aware that at this date the high school football 

season is well advanced and it is not practicable to undertake to 

invoke the changes directed by this decree to apply to the high 

school football contests. The football season may proceed to its 

ultimate conclusion under the plan now in effect as provided by 

the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Constitution, Bylaws 

and tournament Rules 1970-71. In all other respects this decree is 

effective as of the date it is signed by the Court. 

OTHER BOARD OF CONTROL ADOPTED POLICIES 

Many decisions are made that are only recorded in the minutes 

of the Board of Control meetings. The following represent some of 

those items that all KHSAA constituencies are to be aware of: 

Policy on Anonymous Calls and Letters 

Bylaw 16 requires all material submitted regarding the KHSAA for 

protests and reporting of violations to be in writing. If those reports 

are anonymous, the letters shall be forwarded by the Commissioner’s 

offi ce to the school administrator of the school in question, with 

no further action taken by the KHSAA unless that administrator 




reports a violation or further substantiated and signed information 

is received. Anonymous callers shall be informed that the KHSAA 

staff has no authority to act on anonymous calls. 

Policy on Accepting Calls from Member Schools and the 

General Public. 

The KHSAA staff prioritizes calls from the member school 

representatives. The KHSAA staff receives hundreds of phone calls 

and electronic mail messages each week from member schools. 

Because the KHSAA exists to serve the member schools, responding 

to their inquiries is the top priority. The large volume of calls from 

parents and students has dramatically affected our ability to serve 

the member schools. School administrators shall remain the fi rst 

and preferred contact resource for parents and students. The KHSAA 

shall refer calls from parents or students to the appropriate school 

personnel, and ask that the administrator contact the KHSAA if there 

is a need for a specifi c answer or rules clarifi cation. 

Cancellation of Contests and Severe Weather Policy 

It is the duty of the home school to properly notify the contest 

offi cials in case of cancellation or postponement of an athletic 

contest. 

The Referee or head offi cial shall delay or cancel a competition 

at the fi rst site of cloud-to-ground lightning or sound of thunder at 

the site and the site shall be cleared of all persons immediately by 

event administration. If it is anticipated that the storm will pass, the 

competition may be resumed following a three (3) minute warm-up 

period, no sooner than thirty (30) minutes after the last sight of 

cloud-to-ground lightning or the last sound of thunder. 

If the severe weather is of great length or intensity, the Referee 

or lead contest offi cial has the responsibility and authority to cancel 

the competition. Offi cials are encouraged to review the weather 

forecast prior to game time. Safety of the public and participants is 

the most important factor in any decision of this type. 

If a contest is cancelled prior to the departure from the home site 

of the offi cials, and the offi cials are not properly notifi ed before 

leaving home, then home school is responsible for payment of the 

entire offi ciating fee. 

If a contest is postponed after the start of the contest due to 

inclement weather, the offi cials originally assigned to the contest 

shall make every effort to be available for the completion date. 

The member schools shall not be liable for an additional fee for 

the offi cials to work the rescheduled game but shall be liable for 

any additional travel expense (mileage) fee. Each local offi cials 

association is to implement a policy for the remuneration of offi cials 

working a rescheduled contest who were not originally assigned to 

the contest. 

If a contest is cancelled while the offi cials are en route, the home 

school is responsible for the payment of a mileage fee to the offi cial 

or crew of offi cials, plus a fee of 1 / 5 of the scheduled contest fee 

to each offi cial. 

If a contest is cancelled and the offi cials are notifi ed prior to 

departure, there is no fi nancial liability on the part of the school. 

Recommended Security Practices For Contests 

While many schools have measures in place regarding safety 

and security at athletic contests, all members are reminded of 

the importance of this area. The National Federation and the 

Kentucky High School Athletic Association have made a strong 

effort in reminding all state associations and member schools of the 

importance of member schools understanding of the necessity for 

adequate security. 

Crowd control has become a major emphasis across the nation 

and though many schools have provisions in place, it is important 

to take every precaution to protect the athletes, fans and general 

public at contests. 

While acknowledging the expense of security, it is noted that this 

shall be an integral part of your athletic planning process. 

Statement On Ethnic and Cultural Diversity & Sexual 

Harassment 

The KHSAA recognizes the cultural diversity of its member 

school athletes, coaches, fans and spectators. The Board of Control 

encourages each of its member schools to educate its participants 

and all parties involved in the sports program as to the need for a 

united approach to solving problems. Prejudice on the basis of sex, 

creed or ethnic origin cannot be tolerated. The KHSAA encourages 

each of its schools to unite in this effort. The KHSAA has no tolerance 

for sexual harassment or discrimination based on gender. If those 

acts are discovered during the course of normal operations, all 

information shall be forwarded to the proper authorities. 

Legal Assistance and Continuation of Litigation 

The Board of Control may authorize the employment of a staff 

attorney and establish the salary, benefi ts and other details of the 

position. If a staff attorney is authorized by the Board, the person 

shall be employed by the Commissioner pursuant to 702 KAR 7:065, 

Sections 8 and 9 and the KHSAA Constitution. 

The Commissioner, with approval of the Board of Control shall 

have the authority to engage an outside legal fi rm(s) in defense of 

Association rules and for consultation. 

Any case proceeding past the Kentucky Court of Appeals would 

require additional Board of Control approval to proceed. 

Fund Raising Policy 

The Association, through the Board of Control, may approve 

fund raising projects not included in the operating budget of the 

Association. Any new fund raising project shall be projected to 

receive no revenue for the fi rst year to eliminate any budgetary 

dependence on the item.

KHSAA POLICY ON TITLE IX (TITLE 20, U.S.C. TITLES, 1681- 

1688, ET. SEQ.) 

Background and Primary Policy 

The KHSAA Board of Control fully supports facilitating the 

requirements of Title IX for all KHSAA member schools. The KHSAA 

began monitoring and auditing equity within KHSAA member school 

athletic programs (boys and girls) at the beginning of the 1999-2000 

school year. The annual internal Title IX school audits are conducted 

by KHSAA staff members as well as outside contractors. 

Duties of the KHSAA in managing high school athletics are set 

forth in 702 KAR 7:065. The regulation includes the following: “As 

a condition present to membership, require each member school 

and superintendent to annually submit a written certifi cation of 

compliance with 20 USD Section 1681-83 (Title IX). 

Initially, during the 1999-2000 school year, each school received 

a publication entitled, Title IX Guidelines for Compliance at the 

High School Level as well as the KHSAA Title IX Audit Document. 

This document contained forms and instructional material to allow 

personnel to evaluate the athletics program within the guidelines of 

Title IX, and submit this document to the KHSAA for review. 

A) Defi nitions - Title IX refers to a portion of the education 

amendments of 1972, a federal law that prohibits gender 

discrimination in education programs that receive federal funds 

and includes athletic programs. The Title IX statute as amended 

became law June 23, 1972 with the implementation of the 

regulation for high schools effective in July of 1978. 

B) Major Components of Title IX - In its simplest form, Title IX is 

about providing participation opportunities for students as well 

as the evaluation of the benefi ts they receive while participating 

in sports. 

1) Opportunities. To assess participation opportunities a school 

may examine or determine if they comply with Title IX under 

one of three tests. To be compliant, a school shall pass one of 

the three tests: 

a) Athletic participation at a school is substantially proportionate 

to enrollment. 

b) School personnel shall demonstrate a history and continuing 

practice of program expansion that is responsive to the 

developing interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex. 

c) School personnel shall fully and effectively accommodate the 

interest and abilities of the underrepresented sex. 

2) Benefi ts. Once it is determined that equivalent opportunities 

are provided, an examination of the 12 major athletics program 

components is made to determine if equivalent / comparable 

benefi ts are provided to all athletes. There are twelve major 

areas of benefi ts to be analyzed: 

a) Equipment and Supplies (i.e. uniforms, shoes, bats, balls, 

replacement schedules, etc.) 

b) Scheduling of Games and Practice Times (i.e. prime date 

basketball playing opportunities for girls, comparable prime 

practice times and length, equivalent number of contest for 

comparable sports, etc.) 

c) Travel and Per Diem Allowances (i.e. comparable modes of 

transportation, meal monies, room accommodations, etc.) 

d) Coaching (i.e. comparably skilled and experienced coaches, 

comparable coaching salaries, comparable coaching staff size, 

etc.) 

e) Locker Rooms, Practice and Competitive Facilities (i.e. 

comparable size locker rooms and amenities, lockers, practice 

facilities, etc.) 

f) Medical and Training Facilities and Services (i.e. comparable 

numbers of trainers, medical doctors [home and away], equal 

access to training facilities and weight rooms, etc.) 

g) Publicity (i.e. schedule cards, game programs, media guides, 

cheerleading quality, pep bands, mascots, trophy cases, 

recognition banners, dance teams [home and away], etc.) 

h) Support Services (i.e. support for coaches administrative 

needs, booster clubs, etc.) 

i) Tutoring 

j) Athletic Scholarships (*) 

k) Housing and Dining Facilities and Services (*) 

l) Recruitment of Student Athletes (*) 

(*) NOTE: Items j, k, l do not normally apply at the high school 

level. 

C) Establishing and Monitoring a Local Title IX Plan. As part of the 

KHSAA compliance model, each member school / school district 

shall be required to form a Gender Equity Review Committee 

(GERC) for the purpose of evaluating the total athletics program 

and handling issues at the local level. Each school or school 

district shall create a Title IX plan and a timetable for corrective 

actions at the local level. The plan shall include an evaluation 

of the entire athletic program and corrective action if necessary 

on items such as practice times, facilities, coaching stipends and 

athletic budgets. 

D) Annual Reporting. The KHSAA requires its member schools to 

annually submit Annual Report forms on or before April 15 for 

review by the KHSAA. Member school personnel shall establish a 

Title IX plan for regular review and for necessary corrective action 

along with a timetable for correction. If a school is found to have 

serious Title IX compliance issues, the local school GERC shall be 

given the initial opportunity to correct the inequities and submit 

a timetable for such action. The recommended time period for 

such implementation shall be determined by the Commissioner 

and may vary depending upon the nature of the non-compliance 

issues and fi nancial implications. 

E) Summary: The KHSAA staff continues to report regularly to 

the Kentucky Board of Education regarding this project, and in 

particular, with non-compliance issues. This report routinely 

includes an overall review of the Association’s progress in assisting 

the member schools in achieving compliance. The KHSAA, KBE, 

Kentucky Department of Education and Kentucky School Boards 

Association continue to work together to provide continuing 

education to the member school administrators to assist the 

schools in achieving gender equity in interscholastic athletics. 

KHSAA BASKETBALL PRIME DATE SCHEDULING 

A) PRIME DATE REQUIREMENT 

Each basketball season, a member school shall meet one of two 

alternative methods of prime date compliance. The member schools 

shall: 

1) Play at least forty (40) percent of its girls home basketball 

games on a prime date, defi ned as Friday night, Saturday or 

Sunday, wherein tournaments shall only count as one game 

played toward this requirement; or 

2) Play at least forty (40) percent of its girls basketball schedule 

(all games) on a prime date, defi ned as Friday night, Saturday 

or Sunday. Schools using this method must play at least one 

prime date game in each of the months of December, January 

and February. 

B) ANNUAL PRIME DATE COMPLIANCE PROCESS 

Each year, the KHSAA shall audit all girls’ regular season basketball 

schedules (hereinafter “current schedule”). These annual audits shall 

begin with the fi rst legal regular season playing date. Schools that 

are not in compliance with the forty (40) percent requirement on 

the fi rst playing date shall be contacted on or before December 31 

of the playing season in an effort to allow for schedule corrections 

or revisions to comply with the forty (40) percent requirement. The 

school shall be notifi ed of the potential penalties for non compliance 

with this correspondence. 

Schedules shall be posted on the KHSAA website in the manner 

as instructed by the Commissioner’s offi ce prior to the published 

deadline. Schedules shall be accurate and include entry and 

designation of games that are involved in tournaments, classics, 

festivals and other multi-game events. 

At the end of the regular playing season, the schedules shall be 

audited for fi nal compliance with the requirement. 

C) PENALTY FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THE PRIME DATE 

REQUIREMENT 

Based on the fi nal audit at the end of regular season, if a member 

school’s total home games for girls’ do not comply with the forty 

(40) percent requirement, the following penalty shall be applied: 

1) The boys’ regular season total game schedule for the following 

school year’s basketball season shall be reduced by two games 

as compared to the current boys’ schedule. 

2) The overall two contest reduction shall be achieved by reducing 

boys’ home games. 

3) In the case that a school does not have any home games, the 

two game penalty shall be applied to away games. 

4) In the event that this penalty is imposed, the offending school 




shall count the game as a forfeit with respect to KHSAA Bylaws 

and shall comply with the provisions of Bylaw 24 as it relates to 

forfeit fees and other penalties. The game may not be replaced 

on the offending team’s schedule but may be replaced on the 

opponent schedule. 

5) Schools may not schedule or enter additional tournaments from 

the benchmark year as a means of circumventing the penalties 

within this policy. 

6) Schools will be notifi ed of the reduction in the allowable boys’ 

games for the following season after the conclusion of the 

current season. 

D) EXAMPLES OF POSSIBLE PENALTY APPLICATIONS 

On the fi rst legal playing date for the season, Jones High School’s 

regular season girls’ basketball schedule refl ects they are not 

meeting the forty (40) percent requirement. Jones High School 

is audited again at the end of the season, and does not meet the 

forty (40) percent requirement. 

During that same season, the boys’ total number of regular season 

games played is 23 as defi ned by Bylaw 25. Within this 23 count, 

there are 21 single games being played and two tournaments 

counted in a reduced fashion per the rule. The boys’ team played 

six regular season home single games. 

Due to non-compliance with the forty (40) percent requirement 

for girls’, Jones High School’s total number of allowable boys’ 

regular season single games for the following regular season 

shall be reduced to 21. This reduction would not apply to the 

allowable two tournaments that may be counted in a reduced 

fashion. 

In this example, the total allowable number of regular season 

home games for the following season may not exceed four 

single games. 

Should this reduction occur, the KHSAA Staff shall work with 

member schools to accomplish the identifi ed contractual game 

reductions. 

PRIME TIME SCHEDULING 

Prime time scheduling can be accomplished by scheduling boys‘ 

and girls’ games on separate nights with prime time starts for both 

or by scheduling doubleheaders and alternating boys’ and girls’ start 

times. The KHSAA Board of Control and staff strongly recommends 

adherence to the following schedule in the event that double 

headers are used to meet the Prime Time Requirement. 

One Double-Header (Optional As To Which Team Plays Second) 

Two Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second At 

Least Once) 

Three Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second 

At Least Once) 

Four Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second At 

Least Twice) 

Five Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Second At 

Least Twice) 

Six Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second At 

Least Three Times) 

Seven Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second 

At Least Three Times) 

Eight Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second 

At Least Four Times) 

Nine Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second At 

Least Four Times) 

Ten Double-Headers (Girls Game Recommended to Be Second At 

Least Five Times)

KHSAA OFFICIALS GUIDEBOOK 

In compliance with the Federal Court Decree of 1971 as amended, 

the KHSAA has guidelines to govern the licensing and assignment 

of high school (grades 9-12) sports offi cials. These policies exist to 

ensure adherence to that decree. 

ASSIGNMENT OF OFFICIALS 

Pursuant to the Amended Decree entered December 22, 1971 

in E. Deedom Alston v. Kentucky High School Athletic Association, 

United States District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, Lexington 

Division, No. 2274, where the use of licensed offi cials is required for 

an athletic contest in the sports of football, basketball and baseball, 

said offi cials shall be selected by a Commission, composed of the 

KHSAA Commissioner and the Assistant Commissioners. 

The Commission has the authority, however, to contract with 

individuals to assist with this selection. Pursuant to this authority, 

the Commission may enter into agreements with persons to 

directly assign regular season contests, known as “Assigning 

Secretaries”. The Commission shall directly assign all offi cials for 

all KHSAA sponsored (district, region, semi-state, section and state) 

championship competition. 

KHSAA OFFICIALS DIVISION 

Under the provisions of KHSAA Bylaw 31 and in accordance with 

the provisions of the Federal Court Decree of 1971, as amended,

however, to contract with individuals to assist with the assignment 

of offi cials.

offi cial shall sign authorization to the following statement: 

I hereby agree to join a local offi cials’ association if required in my 

sport(s) and to work, as an independent contractor, a schedule of 

contests assigned by a local assigning secretary. I shall work for 

the fee set by the KHSAA and shall cooperate with the KHSAA as

Regulations. As an independent contractor, I am not an employee 

of the KHSAA or member school when serving as an offi cial and 

understand that the KHSAA shall not provide insurance or other 

benefi ts consistent with employment. I request that the proper 

fee be taken from my registration amount and made payable 

for membership in the NFOA as detailed in KHSAA regulations. I 

agree by licensing that I shall provide my Social Security number 

and birth date to the KHSAA solely for the purpose of complying 

with the elements of a criminal records check. 

REQUIREMENT FOR LICENSING BY OFFICIALS

schools shall be licensed as track and fi eld offi cials with the KHSAA. 

Schools are recommended to use only those offi cials in cross country

postage, printed forms, membership in the National Federation 

Offi cials Association including specifi c insurance coverage, rules 

interpretation meetings, Arbitersports.com usage, and other costs of 

administering the offi cials program. In addition, $5 of the dues from

awards and recognition programs, as well as training for use in the 

development of better offi ciating. 

RECRUITMENT OF OFFICIALS

nature of its existence to recruit new offi cials. This has been done by 

many methods, most at the local level.

Assigning Secretary, utilize any medium and format possible to 

recruit new offi cials.

Athletic Association (“KHSAA”) on all licensed offi cials as of the 

2010-2011 licensing year. The background checks will be done using

(“courtnet”). 

Beginning with the 2010-11 licensing year, all new offi cials 

(prospective offi cials) shall have a background check done upon 

initial licensure. This fi rst licensure shall be considered provisional 

in nature pending the successful completion of the background 

check. The background checks will be done using the database of 

the Kentucky Administrative Offi ce of the Courts (“Courtnet”). If the 

Courtnet report is deemed inaccurate or does not provide suffi cient 

detail of offenses, KHSAA may, at its discretion, request the applicant 

to provide a background check from the Department of Kentucky 

State Police. The cost of the Kentucky State Police Background check

Commissioner. As a part of any appeal, the following shall be 

considered: 

If suspension or denial of license is based upon the conviction

FEES FOR LICENSING AS AN OFFICIAL 

Each offi cial or prospective offi cial shall pay a fee to license as 

an offi cial. 

Administrative Fee - Each offi cial or prospective offi cial shall pay 

an administrative fee to license with the KHSAA. From this fee, 

the offi cial will receive the membership dues into the National 

Federation Offi cials Association (NFOA) and insurance coverage 

fees shall be paid for each offi cial as described in this brochure, 

the Athlete Magazine when it is published, and the other relevant 

news and mailings general to all offi cials. 

Per Sport Fee for Each Sport Licensed - Each offi cial or prospective 

offi cial shall pay a fee for each sport in which he/she desires 

to license. Many offi cials get a great deal of satisfaction out of 

licensing in several sports. For example, a person desiring to 

license in one sport would pay the Administrative Fee and the fee 

for the sport). If a currently licensed offi cial desires to add a new 

sport or renew in a previous sport after the deadline, the fee shall 

be the same as the re-licensing additional sport fee, and process 

would be as described for all new offi cials. 

College, University, or approved High School Mentor Fees - Each fulltime 

student (12 hours) at a college or university (with verifi cation 

of schedule submitted to the KHSAA) will have the Administrative 

Fee and the Per Sport Fee Reduced. For example, a college 

student desiring to license in one sport would therefore pay the 

administrative fee, and an additional per sport fee. 

Twenty-Five Year Offi cials - The fees for offi cials licensing into their 

26th year or beyond shall be waived. However, the licensing 

process shall be completed through the KHSAA. 

Late Licensure Fee - Each re-licensing offi cial shall be charged a late 

fee for failing to license by the June 30 deadline in all sports. A late 




fi ne shall not be assessed for a re-licensing offi cial who desires to 

add a fi rst-time sport or for a new (prospective) offi cial. Offi cials 

licensing after more than one year of lapse in licensing are not 

subject to the late fee. 

Late Clinic Fee - A fee may be assessed to offi cials who fail to attend 

the required rules clinics in specifi c sports in a timely manner. This 

fi ne shall be waived in a sport for fi rst time licensing offi cials. 

NSF (Insuffi cient Funds) Check or Declined Credit Card - A fee will 

be assessed to any offi cial whose check fails to clear the bank and 

the transaction results in the KHSAA having a fee assessed by its 

fi nancial institution. Licensing will be suspended for these offi cials 

or prospective offi cials until this fee is paid. 

QUALIFICATIONS FOR LICENSING 

The minimum standards for licensing of all offi cials shall be: 

- Applicant shall be a graduate of an accredited high school or be at 

least eighteen years of age. 

- Licensing fee shall accompany application form. The fee shall be 

returned if applicant does not meet requirements or if the proper 

amount is not enclosed.

The offi cial will have two attempts to complete the exam after which 

licensing will be denied.

fees and the prospective offi cial will not be given credit for the 

year of service and would have to start the process anew if desired 

in a later year.

local offi cials association if such associations exist in the specifi c 

sport. 

All requirements, including completion of the Part 1 Exam, shall 

be completed no later than the last Friday in April. If licensing is

the application to be processed as it is necessary for the required 

criminal records check. 

- Birth date - This information shall be included in order for the 

application to be processed as it is necessary for the required

- Phone Numbers - Please complete all phone numbers as they are 

important to the offi cial trying to contact an offi cial to confi rm 

arrangements, the school trying to alert offi cials to a cancelled 

or altered contest time, or the regional or district tournament 

manager trying to report contest times and dates. 

- Please mark if you are an offi cial currently licensed in another 

sport. This helps the KHSAA staff determine the proper fee and 

verify that it has been submitted as well as eliminating duplicate 

database records. Please include license number in the appropriate 

blank. 

- Indicate if you are an offi cial currently licensed or previously licensed 

in another state. You will need to have verifi cation of those records 

from another state (s) to receive the reciprocal credit. 

- For further information on this, please refer to the section entitled, 

Reciprocity of Offi cials. 

STEP TWO - Once the application has been completed legibly, 

return it to the KHSAA with the proper fee. All licensing fees 

paid between May 1 and April 15 shall only apply to that year’s 

offi ciating record. 

STEP THREE - After a properly completed application and fee are 

received by the KHSAA, prospective applicants shall be mailed the 

rules books for that sport, and shall be sent instructions for the 

Part 1 Examination.

materials late summer. 

- Applicants for winter sports (basketball, wrestling, swimming) shall 

not receive these materials until mid-fall.

REQUIREMENTS/DEADLINES FOR RE-LICENSING OFFICIALS 

IN ALL SPORTS 

During May of each year, all currently licensed offi cials shall be sent 

re-licensing information. Included in this information shall be an 

explanation of any licensing procedure changes, and the proper 

application for re-licensing. 

Personal checks shall be accepted for renewal of licensing, but a 

handling charge shall be assessed on any check returned by the 

bank for any reason. An offi cial shall be considered not licensed 

until the fees are paid. 

Prior to June 30 of the upcoming licensing year - Licensing is required 

of ALL Previously Licensed Offi cials in ALL Sports. For sports and 

tournament levels requiring a Level 2 or Level 3 offi cial, those 

sports offi cials shall have licensed no later than June 30 of the 

licensing year. 

Re-licensing Offi cials must pay the licensing fee per the fee schedule 

printed. 

Final Deadline (postmark) for licensing application and fee including 

applicable late fee is April 15. 

Items received after these dates will be returned and will not be 

processed and the prospective offi cial will have to begin the 

new licensing process again during the following year’s annual 

licensing period. 

Each completed re-licensing form processed after June 30 of the 

upcoming licensing year shall be assessed a late fee which shall 

be equal to the fi rst sport fee. 

If a licensed offi cial does not receive a licensing renewal form 

by that June 1 prior to that June 30 deadline, it is the offi cial’s 

responsibility to contact the KHSAA offi ce in order for all fees to 

be paid by the deadline. 

Renewal licensing forms postmarked after June 30 without inclusion 


of the late fee shall be returned to the offi cial. 

Offi cials shall license in all sports with the same renewal form. 

Late licensing shall be allowed only with the payment of the full late 

licensing fee per licensing form. 

It is each offi cial’s responsibility to notify the KHSAA offi ce 

immediately with any address changes. 

Upon completion of the re-licensing requirements, the KHSAA shall 

provide each offi cial with an offi ciating license for the current 

year. This license shall be available for examination at any KHSAA 

contest event. 

Rules books for each re-licensed sport as well as other required 

publications shall also be mailed, according to availability and 

based primarily on the printing and shipping schedule of the 

National Federation. 

CLASSIFICATION OF OFFICIALS 

Offi cials licensed with the Kentucky High School Athletic Association 

shall be classifi ed as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. Requirements for 

these classifi cations are: 

a. Level 1. An offi cial shall be classifi ed as Level 1 as soon as he or 

she has paid the annual licensing fee, and has attained a grade 

of at least 70 percent on the Part 1 Examination in that sport. 

b. Level 2. An offi cial shall be classifi ed as Level 2 if he or she has 

been Level 1 with the KHSAA for at least one school year, has 

attended the required KHSAA rules clinic, has paid the annual 

licensing fee, and at such point in time as he or she attains a 

grade of at least eighty (80) percent on the Part 2 Examination 

in that sport for the school year in which the Level 2 rating is 

requested. After having received the Level 2 rating, the offi cial 

shall continue to receive the rating each school year upon 

payment of the licensing fee and until all requirements for the 

Level 3 rating are met. 

c. Level 3. When an offi cial licenses for the sixth school year with 

the Association, he or she shall be classifi ed as Level 3 if he or 

she has been previously classifi ed as Level 2, has attended the 

KHSAA sponsored rules clinic, has paid the annual licensing fee 

for that sport, and at the point in time when he or she receives 

a grade of at least ninety (90) percent on the Part 2 Examination 

during the school year the Level 3 rating is requested. After 

having received the Level 3 rating, the offi cial shall continue to 

receive the rating each school year upon payment of the annual 

licensing fee. 

RECIPROCITY OF OFFICIALS/MOVEMENT BETWEEN STATES 

Offi cials may desire to offi ciate in more than one state or may 

transfer into Kentucky after licensing in another state. If concurrent 

licensing is desired, it would be necessary to license in each state 

and fulfi ll all of the requirements of each state. Many states accept 

such things as test scores, clinic attendance, etc., from an offi cials’ 

tenure in a previous state. Kentucky does not honor rules clinic 

attendance or transfer of licensing levels from other states. 

The KHSAA shall recognize years of offi ciating experience in other 

states and Part 1 examination scores of an offi cial transferring into 

Kentucky after having been licensed as a contest offi cial in another 

state that conforms to the playing rules of the NFHS. 

RENEWAL OF LICENSE AFTER LAPSE 

LESS THAN TWO SCHOOL YEARS SINCE LAST LICENSING 

- An offi cial who does not re-license for two school years or less may 

re-license by completing the necessary forms and submitting the 

required fee. 

- Offi cials shall always maintain credit for prior years of licensing. 

MORE THAN TWO SCHOOL YEARS AND LESS THAN SIX SINCE LAST 

LICENSING 

- If the lapse in licensing exceeds two school years, but is less than 

six school years, the offi cial shall take and obtain the required 70 

percent on the Part 1 examination(s), and shall be licensed at the 

licensing Level (1 or 2) one step lower than the Level obtained 

when the offi cial was last licensed. If the offi cial makes the 

required score on the Part 2 exam (see Classifi cation of Offi cials), 

he or she may be reinstated to the higher level. 


MORE THAN FIVE SCHOOL YEARS SINCE LAST LICENSING 

- If the lapse in licensing exceeds fi ve school years, the offi cial shall 

begin the process as a Level 1 offi cial. If the offi cial makes the 

required score on the Part 2 exam (see Classifi cation of Offi cials), 

he or she may be reinstated to Level 2 the fi rst year back in 

offi ciating. 


LOCAL OFFICIALS’ ASSOCIATIONS 

The KHSAA’s offi ciating program for recruiting, training and 

retaining offi cials depends upon the involvement of local offi cials’ 

associations. 

It is the ultimate goal of the KHSAA to have every offi cial as an 

active and participating member of a local offi cials’ association. 

Local associations have many roles, including: 

- The recruitment and encouragement of new offi cials 

- Assist the Assigning Secretary in administering training and 

rules discussion meetings for offi cials 

- Monitoring the local association to ensure compliance to all 

KHSAA regulations and standards by member offi cials 

A local offi cials’ association may be sanctioned by the KHSAA 

upon following the procedure outlined below: 

- The Association is recognized and sanctioned by the Local 

Regional Policy Board. There shall only be one such association 

for each sport within each local Regional Policy Board. 

- Only duly licensed KHSAA offi cials are eligible for membership 

in a sanctioned local offi cials organization unless participating 

in a program approved by the Commission. 

- The local group may adopt its own name and its proposed 

Constitution and Bylaws, however the proposed Constitution 

and Bylaws shall be submitted to the KHSAA for review 

and approval. The Bylaws of the local association may not 

set aside the rules of the KHSAA nor may these documents 

confl ict with the assigned duties of the Regional Policy Board 

and Assigning Secretary. 

- A list of the current offi cers of the local regional organization 

shall be kept on fi le with the Commission. 

- The local association may not make rules or policies that 

supersede KHSAA requirements for offi cials in terms of 

qualifi cation of varsity roster status or placement in crews 

or groups. That is the specifi c discretion of the Assigning 

Secretary. 

- The local association may not make rules or policies that 

supersede KHSAA requirements for offi cials in terms of 

postseason qualifi cation. That is the specifi c discretion of the 

Association as all assignments are made by the Commission. 

REQUIREMENT TO JOIN LOCAL OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION 

Each offi cial (re-licensing and new (prospective) must join a local 

association if one is formed in sport (i.e. no local associations in 

track or swimming), and abide by the rules of that association. 

An offi cial may be an active member of only one local association 

per sport unless otherwise approved by the Commission. 

ADVANCE CAMPS/CLINICS/TRAINING 

In many sports, local associations or other entities including the 

KHSAA may conduct advance specialized training efforts for the 

purpose of allowing offi cials to voluntarily receive concentrated 

instructions and training. The sports specifi c contact within the 

Association can advise the offi cials in a specifi c sport as to the 

availability, and any relevant requirements for attendance. 

RULES CLINICS 

Each year, the staff conducts or supervises the conducting of rules 

clinics in KHSAA sports, which deal primarily with rules changes. 

The planned clinic dates for the upcoming school year are in various 

publications and printed at http://www.khsaa.org. These dates may 

be superseded due to confl icts, and the most current list shall be 

posted on the KHSAA web site. 

PART 2 EXAMINATION 

The Part 2 Examination is administered online by the Association in 

most sports, can only be taken online, and can be taken a maximum 

of two times. 

Offi cials shall take the exam during the scheduled dates. The test 

may not be given in advance or after the testing date. After this 

testing window, there will be no other opportunities to take the test. 

Offi cials shall receive a passing grade of at least 80% to be eligible 

for postseason if the Part 2 exam is required. Exceptions may be 

approved by the Commission. 

The test is not administered in the KHSAA offi ces. 




It is recommended that active offi cials take the Part 2 exam each 

year. 

REQUIREMENTS FOR ELIGIBILITY FOR POSTSEASON PLAY 

The minimum standards for all offi cials to offi ciate postseason 

contests shall be: 

- Attend approved advanced training efforts (camps, clinics, 

meetings) to include rules and coverage of mechanics once every 

four years to be eligible for the four years following the training 

clinic provided such are offered or approved by the KHSAA. Such 

interval may be revised by the KHSAA staff liaison in a particular 

sport due to availability. 

- Take Part 2 exam with passing grade of at least 80 during current 

year if it is offered. 

- Receive credit for annual KHSAA Rules Clinic or approved makeup 

clinic. 

- Attend a minimum of four (4) local association meetings in a 

sport which has local associations. KHSAA Rules Clinics and 

Part 2 Examination meetings shall not count as one of these 

four meetings. Local associations may adopt policies addressing 

excused absences, but may not count non-offi ciating absences as 

properly attending. 

- Be in good standing with local association rules as it relates to 

fi nancial and reporting obligations. The KHSAA may waive this 

requirement if it is in the best interest of the assignment of 

offi cials within a particular sport. 

- For sports and tournament levels requiring a Level 2 or Level 3 

offi cial, those sports offi cials shall have licensed no later than June 

30 of the licensing year.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST - GENERAL STATEMENT 

Confl icts of Interest 

I. An offi cial shall not knowingly accept an assignment of a contest 

if any of the following, conditions exist: 

a. If there is a KHSAA Offi cials Association that makes 

assignments through an assignment secretary and the 

assignment did not come through any authorized chapter 

assignments procedure; 

b. If any offi cial assigned to the contest is not a member in good 

standing with the KHSAA; 

c. If the offi cial or the offi cial’s spouse is employed by any school 

fi elding a team involved in a contest; 

d. If the offi cial is related by blood or marriage to a person: 

(parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, 

brother-in-law, son-in-law, etc.) affi liated with a team 

involved in a contest; 

e. If the offi cial or any person affi liated with a team involved 

in a contest are former or present teammates, roommates, 

classmates, business associates or close personal friends; or 

f. If the offi cial or the offi cial’s spouse attended or worked at 

either school within the last 10 years. 

II. An offi cial may accept assignment of a regular season contest 

or tournament only by fully informed written consent of both 

head coaches if any of the following condition exists: 

a. If the offi cial has a child in school in one of the involved 

schools, or a child who graduated from one of the schools 

within the previous fi ve years. 

b. If any offi cial assigned to the contest is not a member in good 

standing with the KHSAA; 

c. If the offi cial or the offi cial’s spouse is employed by any school 

fi elding a team involved in a contest; 

d. If the offi cial is related by blood or marriage to a person (parent, 

grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, brother-in-law, 

son-in-law, etc.) affi liated with a team involved in a contest; 

e. If the offi cial or any person affi liated with a team involved 

in a contest are former or present teammates, roommates, 

classmates, business associates or close personal friends; or 

f. If the offi cial or the offi cial’s spouse attended or worked at 

either school within the last 10 years. 

III. An offi cial shall advise the assignments secretary of all known 

confl icts of interest with schools normally served by the chapter 

prior to any assignments for a season. In the event an Assigning 

Secretary does not know of a confl ict in accordance with I 

and II above, an individual offi cial shall notify the Assignment 

Secretary of all known confl icts upon receipt of the schedule and 

the offi cial shall not accept an assignment without fi rst insuring 

compliance with the provisions of this section. 

In the event a confl ict with these provisions becomes known 

after acceptance of the contest, the offi cial shall make such 

confl ict known to the Assignment Secretary or assigning 

authority as soon as practicable. If the confl ict is under (I) above, 

the offi cial shall be removed from the contest or tournament 

without penalty. If the confl ict is under II above, the Assignment 

Secretary or assigning authority, in accordance with local 

association policy, shall inform both coaches of the possible 

confl ict and reassign the offi cial in the absence of consent from 

both head coaches, without penalty to the offi cial. 

IV. It shall be a violation of the Offi cials’ Code of Ethics for an 

offi cial to work a contest in violation of these provisions and an 

offi cial violating these provisions may be reprimanded, placed 

on probation, fi ned, suspended or terminated from membership. 

V. Any and all of the above provisions may be waived by mutual 

written consent of the head coaches. A specifi c offi cials 

organization may fi nd one or more of the above policy 

statements too restrictive, or too lenient, but this policy is well 

conceived and clearly written. It provides an excellent starting 

point for any offi ciating organization working to establish a 

confl ict-of-interest policy. 

MEMBERSHIP APPROVAL OF ASSIGNMENTS 

Within the restrictions of the Federal decree, a member school shall 

have the privilege of scratching / red-lining offi cials that it does not 

desire to have as contractors on the athletic contests of that school, 

and such designation shall be honored by the Assigning Secretary. 

These “scratches” shall be made in the preseason, and may not be 

changed during the playing season or prior to postseason. 

A member school of the KHSAA shall not take any action to 

prevent an athletic offi cial from offi ciating a contest because of the 

offi cial’s race, sex, religion or national origin, nor may a member 

school participate in a contest where such preventative action has 

been taken. 

OFFICIALS FAIL TO ARRIVE 

In the event a contracted offi cial fails to arrive for a scheduled 

contest, the Assigning Secretary may have those offi cials who are 

present 1) offi ciate the contest with less than the usual number of 

offi cials; 2) replace the absent offi cial with a properly and currently 

licensed local offi cial; or 3) cooperate with the involved teams to 

postpone / reschedule the contest. 

IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENT 

It is important that prior to each contest, the Assigning Secretary 

and member schools verify that offi cials are licensed by the KHSAA. 

The offi cial’s responsibility in this situation is to present the current 

identifi cation card to the host school Athletic Director before the 

contest. When a scorebook is kept, the offi cial can present the card 

to the scorekeeper so that the proper name of the offi cial can be 

recorded. 

Under no condition shall an Assigning Secretary assign an 

offi cial who is not properly licensed by the KHSAA to a freshmen, 

junior varsity or varsity high school athletic contest. Whatever the 

situation, it is the responsibility of the member school to verify that 

each offi cial is licensed. The offi cial can create a cooperative tone by 

offering the information before being asked to do so. Please note 

that there is a $5 fee for a replacement license. 

It is also possible to verify licensing via a perpetually updated 

listing on the KHSAA web site, www.khsaa.org under Offi cials 

Division Information. 

MAINTAINING RECORDS 

Each offi cial and prospective offi cial is required to establish 

a secure login to the KHSAA web site. The portal for this login is 

located at www.khsaa.org. The login is done by entering the email 

address of the offi cial, and a password established by the offi cial. 

The KHSAA does not maintain password lists and cannot offer 

assistance in retrieving passwords, however the password may be 

reset by the offi cial at any time. 

Much of the information needed by offi cials (test scores, relicensing 

forms, clinic attendance registry, detailed address and 

phone listings for offi cials, etc.) is only available through the secure 

login site. 

It is each offi cial’s responsibility to notify the KHSAA offi ce 

immediately with any address changes. There will be no waiver of 

any late fees or obligations of an offi cial due to mail or parcels not 

arriving due to incorrect address information (electronic or regular 

mail). 

DISQUALIFICATIONS - REPORTS (ONLINE ONLY) 

It is the responsibility of the contest offi cial to report immediately 

(within 24 hours) in writing any unsportsmanlike conduct or other 

action on the part of the coaches, players, school administrators, 

spectators or any other type of incident that results in the ejection 

of a coach, player, administrator, or spectator from a contest. It is 

also the duty of each offi cial to report any unusual incident which 

may or may not have led to unsportsmanlike ejection, but of which 

the knowledge is critical to the KHSAA in administering the sports 

program. 

Offi cials reporting disqualifi cations should keep the reports direct 

and to the point, reporting the facts as they occurred. Offi cials are 

to refrain from opinions and editorial comments about prospective 

penalties. 

Disqualifi cations are to be reported online via the KHSAA web 

site, http://www.khsaa.org. The timely submission of these reports, 

in writing, is required and offi cials shall use the online form. 

Submission in this manner automatically forwards the report to both 

schools and to the Association. 

Offi cials shall include the fi rst and last name of the offender. 

If an offi cial does not have access to the internet, someone such 

as the assigning secretary, or another member of the group may be 

helpful in meeting the requirement. 




EVALUATION OF OFFICIALS 

(1) Coaches’ ratings shall be gathered and compiled in areas 

where no approved system exists for substitution of the input of 

local evaluators. Every local association shall develop a system 

utilizing trained observers for the purpose of evaluating offi cials 

and reporting the compiled results to the Commissioner. 

(2) The fi nal results of any system shall be a guideline but not 

the fi nal determinant in postseason assignments by the 

Commissioner. In this manner, these items become preliminary 

notes and not fi nal decisions, and are not subject to viewing by 

the offi cials. The integrity of the process and the response of the 

coaches depend on this element of the decision. 

(3) Assignors of each sport shall annually evaluate all varsity 

offi cials in contest type environments within their local offi cials 

association. 

PROVIDENCE 

Offi cials are to take action according to the playing rules in cases 

of “Acts of God”, or Providence. 

SEVERE WEATHER / HEAT ILLNESS POLICY FOR ACTIONS BY 

OFFICIALS AT OUTDOOR SPORTS 

The Referee (Lead Offi cial / Crew Chief) shall delay or cancel a 

contest at the fi rst sound of lightning or thunder at the contest site. 

The site shall be cleared immediately of all persons. If it is anticipated 

that the storm will pass, the contest may be resumed following a 

three (3) minute warm-up period, no sooner than thirty (30) minutes 

after the last sight of lightning or the last sound of thunder. 

If the severe weather is of great length or intensity, the Referee 

has the responsibility and authority to cancel the contest. Contest 

offi cials are encouraged to learn the weather forecast prior to contest 

time and to consult with contest management prior to making 

weather-related decisions. Safety of the public and participants is 

the most important factor in any decision of this type. 

The Referee (Lead Offi cial / Crew Chief) shall work cooperatively 

with home contest administration on decisions related to the KMA 

Heat Illness Plan. Final authority for this decision rests within home 

contest administration. 

FACILITY / GROUNDS FIT TO PLAY 

The Referee (Lead Offi cial / Crew Chief) is to judge, in accordance 

with the sport’s playing rules, as to whether contest site is fi t for 

play. He or she has the authority to cancel a contest due to unfi t 

grounds / facilities, within the scope of those playing rules, or 

direct corrective action be taken prior to the event. If contests are 

canceled for this reason, the Association shall be notifi ed through 

the assigning secretary. 

CANCELLATION OR POSTPONEMENT OF CONTESTS 

It is the duty of the home school to properly notify the contest 

offi cials in case of cancellation or postponement of the athletic 

contest. 

If a contest is canceled and the offi cials were notifi ed prior to 

departure, there is no fi nancial liability on the part of the school. 

If a contest is canceled prior to the offi cials leaving home and 

the offi cials are not notifi ed, the home school is responsible for 

the payment of a full game fee plus the local policy board travel 

allowance. 

If a contest is canceled due to circumstances that occur after the 

offi cials have left home but prior to the start of the contest, the 

home school is responsible for the payment of the local policy board 

travel allowance fee to the crew of offi cials, plus a fee of 1/5 of the 

KHSAA established contest fee to each offi cial. 

If a contest is postponed after the start of the contest due to 

inclement weather, the offi cials originally assigned to the contest 

shall make every effort to be available for the completion date. The 

member schools shall not be liable for an additional contest fee for 

the offi cials to work the re-scheduled contest, but shall be liable 

for an additional travel expense (mileage) fee. Each local offi cials’ 

association is to implement a policy for the remuneration of offi cials 

working a re-scheduled contest who were not originally assigned to 

the contest. 

KHSAA PUBLICATIONS / SUPPLIES 

Each offi cial is entitled to one set of rules books for each sport in 

which they are currently licensed. 

Additional copies of the KHSAA Handbook are available, as well as 

rules books, selected offi ciating equipment and other publications. 

Go to the KHSAA web site for a complete listing and the current 

pricing structure. 

PLAYING RULES AND QUESTIONNAIRES 

The playing rules that govern interscholastic athletic competition 

in Kentucky are formulated by the National Federation of State High 

School Associations except for tennis and golf, and are regulated 

by KHSAA bylaws. The KHSAA supports the National Federation’s 

policy of requiring that those who develop the rules also play by the 

rules. Persons who are involved at the interscholastic level and are 

directly responsible to secondary schools write National Federation 

rules for the high school level of competition. According to National 

Federation policy, the KHSAA would forfeit its opportunity to 

appoint representatives to the National Federation rules committees 

if this Association were to make exceptions to, or modifi cations of, 

National Federation rules for varsity competition on a statewide 

basis. 

While members of the Association, the Association staff and the 

contest offi cials may not agree with every decision made by the rules 

committees, it is the National Federation policy to acknowledge 

and utilize our persons who have committee input, and respond to 

questionnaires when asked. Offi cials who wish to voice a concern or 

offer a recommendation to a specifi c sport committee may do so by 

writing to the appropriate member of the KHSAA Staff. Playing rules 

questions are more appropriately addressed to the rules interpreter 

for that particular sport. 

At press time, rules interpreters are - Michael Barren (Soccer, 

Wrestling, Tennis), Darren Bilberry (Golf, Swimming, Softball); Butch 

Cope (Volleyball, Baseball); Angela Passafi ume (Cross Country, 

Basketball, Bowling, Track and Field); Julian Tackett (Football). 

REGULAR SEASON FULL CREW OF OFFICIALS 

Baseball/Softball: Two umpires shall be assigned to all regular 

season varsity contests. Three or four may be utilized at the 

request of the host school. 

Basketball: Three offi cials shall be assigned to all regular season 

varsity contests. 

Football: Five offi cials shall be assigned to all regular season 

varsity contests. 

Soccer: Three offi cials (Center and 2 A.R.) shall be assigned to all 

regular season varsity contests. 

Non-Varsity crew size shall be determined by the Regional Policy 

Board. 

OFFICIATING WITH LESS THAN A FULL CREW 

Though it happens seldom, there may be times that for various 

reasons, an entire crew of offi cials is not able to be at a contest. If 

this occurs, the offi cial(s) who are able to be at the contest site are 

to offi ciate the contest with the following stipulations: 

1) The available crew size shall be compliant with NFHS playing 

rules. (For example, a non-varsity football game shall have not 

less than 3 offi cials as that is the minimum acceptable crew 

size). 

2) The contest offi cial(s) who do offi ciate the contest are entitled 

only to the compensation for themselves, no additional fee is 

due. 

PAYMENT OF CONTEST OFFICIALS 

Where permissible, the offi cials for a given KHSAA athletic contest 

are to be paid upon arrival at the venue. This is certainly preferred 

to paying in a public setting such as at the playing site itself (on the 

fi eld or court). However, it is recognized that many schools are not 

allowed to pay independent contractors for service until after the 

service has been performed. In those cases, the preferred payment 

method is postgame, but NOT by a member of the coaching staff 

or other non-administrative individuals. If schools are in a situation 

where payment cannot be made at the game site, it shall be made 

within seven (7) days to the contest offi cial. 

In many cases, schools require the submission of the social security 

number by game offi cials prior to payment. If such is required, the 

request shall be made to the game offi cials on approved Board 

of Education supplied forms, and the handling of this information 

shall only be by adult school representatives who are employees 

at the school who shall be, liable for the inadvertent release of 

information. The KHSAA does not release social security numbers 

on its contest offi cials. 


If a crew of offi cials works more than one contest at the same site, 

on the same day, the home school is not obligated to pay above the 

state standard fee for the second or subsequent contest(s). 

ARBITERSPORTS.COM USAGE 

The KHSAA contracts with the Advanced Business Technology 

(ABT) to allow the usage of the website www.arbitersports.com 

for the assignment of all contests. It shall be a criterion for being 

a licensed offi cials that the offi cial shall release information from 

the KHSAA to this company and that as directed by the Assigning 

Secretary, the offi cial shall fully utilize the services of this company.

II) Dates and Sites for Tournaments 

District tournament sites shall be selected by a site selection plan 

approved by a unanimous vote of the schools eligible to compete 

in each district tournament. If a district is unable to resolve confl ict 

over the plan, the Board of Control shall establish a plan. 

Only schools which are members of the Association prior to January 

1 of the year in which the tournament is held, and having a schedule 

of ten (10) or more baseball games shall be allowed to vote for the 

district tournament location or participate in the tournament 

Criteria to be considered by the schools for the district tournament 

include but are not limited to- satisfactory capacity within the facility 

to safely accommodate past (fi ve years) and expected attendance 

numbers; an offi cials dressing room; and adequate parking for 

projected attendance. In addition, all sites shall meet the published 

site selection criteria baseball as posted on the KHSAA website. 

District tournament play shall begin not later than Monday of the 

week on the KHSAA Calendar for district tournaments. Permission 

may be obtained from the KHSAA offi ce to start later than that 

date only in the event of facility confl icts. Tournaments may begin 

on the weekend prior if the schools concur and it alleviates facility 

confl icts. 

The Commissioner shall determine regional tournament sites. 

Schools interested in hosting a regional tournament shall submit 

their request through the defi ned site selection process at prior 

year tournaments. The applicant shall supply information relating to 

seating and parking facilities and such other information as may be 

requested by the Commissioner. The Commissioner’s offi ce may use 

this site selection plan as a guide, but is not bound by this plan in 

determining the sites. 

A two-thirds vote is necessary to adopt any plan for recommending 

the tournament sites and voting shall include all schools within a 

region, not simply the schools playing in a particular year’s event. 

Criteria to be considered by the schools include but are not limited 

to- satisfactory capacity within the facility to safely accommodate 

past (fi ve years) and expected attendance numbers; an offi cials 


dressing room; and adequate parking for projected attendance. In 

addition, all sites shall meet the published site selection criteria 

baseball as posted on the KHSAA website. 

The schools in the region shall agree on the amount of proceeds 

(if any) that is to be kept by the host school as well as limitations 

on expenses by the host school; determining the fi xed amount or 

percentages to be given to each school that participates; the fi xed 

amount or percentages to be given to each team in the region not 

competing in the tournament; and the disbursement of any proceeds 

from commissions, parking, advertising and any other revenue 

related to the tournament but not directly related to ticket, program 

or novelty sales. Resolution as to disputes on any of these issues 

may be facilitated by the Commissioner’s offi ce and if agreement 

cannot be reached, may be considered by the Board of Control. 

Regional tournament play shall begin not later than Tuesday of the 

week on the KHSAA Calendar for region tournaments. Permission 

may be obtained from the KHSAA offi ce to start later than that date 

only in the event of facility confl icts. 

The Board of Control shall determine the site of the state 

tournament after receiving the Commissioner’s recommendation, 

and shall be guided by necessary hotel facilities, playing facilities, 

and community/area support. 

All tournaments shall be held on or as near the dates indicated 

on the Memorandum Calendar as local conditions permit. Any 

exceptions shall be approved by the Commissioner. 

III) Tournament Managers 

The principal of the host school shall designate an offi cial of 

the school to serve as the manager for each district tournament. 

The Commissioner will appoint a manager for each of the regional 

tournaments, and shall serve as the manager for the state 

tournament. The Commissioner may appoint as many assistant 

managers as deemed necessary to manage the event. It is the 

duty of each district and regional tournament manager to invite 

representatives of the participating teams in the tournament to a 

meeting held for the purpose of making tournament plans. 

It is an explicit duty of each tournament manager to inform the 

association IMMEDIATELY as to the bracket / pairings / entries / 

results when requested by KHSAA staff and according to the time 

deadlines provided including the actual site of the tournament if 

it is not held at the school. In addition, it shall be the duty of the 

manager of each contest in soccer, volleyball, football, basketball, 

baseball and softball to contact the KHSAA Scoreboard with the fi nal 

results following each contest. This is in addition to fulfi lling local 

media requests. The Board of Control has approved the policy that 

the receipts of a tournament can be assessed (a fi ne levied against 

the manager) for failure to comply with these provisions. 

The representatives of the schools participating in each 

tournament, by majority vote, shall set the dates and times of the 

games, and make all other arrangements necessary to conduct the 

tournament. The Commissioner will direct a drawing and all of the 

business necessary to conduct the state tournament. 

IV) District Tournament Seeding Regulations 

A) For district tournaments with three teams, the district tournament 

shall be seeded in accordance with the following three-team 

seeding regulations: 

1) Each team in a three-team district is required to play the other 

two teams in the district in two contests each year, at mutually 

agreed sites. These games will produce a uniform means of 

ranking the teams by seed within these districts. 

2) The team with the highest seed (one seed) receives a bye in the 

district tournament, and advances to the championship game. 

3) The remaining two teams would play in the fi rst round of 

the district tournament with the loser of that game being 

eliminated. 

4) In the case of a two-way tie for the district winning position, 

the winner in the second game played between the tied district 

opponents would have the higher fi nishing position. 

5) In the case of a three-way tie for the district winning position, 

the tie would be resolved in the following manner. If any of 

the tie-breakers results in one of the teams being ahead of the 

other two, the tie is broken. If any of the tie-breakers result in 

two teams remaining ahead of the third, then the two-way tie 

breaker shall be used to determine the winner between those 

two. 

a) The tie-breaking mechanisms (in order) shall be: 

i) If the tie remains between all three teams, the record in the 

second game played against all district opponents involved 

in the tie. 

ii) If the tie remains between all three teams, the record in the 

fi rst game played against all district opponents involved in 

the tie. 

iii) If the tie remains between all three teams, then the total 

points allowed in all seeded games shall be the next tiebreaker. 

iv) If the tie remains between all three teams, then the total 

points allowed in the second of each of the seeded games 

shall be the next tie-breaker. 

v) If the tie is still unbreakable, then a blind draw among the 

three teams shall break the tie. 

b) Additional tie-breaking mechanisms could be added, and 

would be uniform for all three-team districts. 

6) In the event of game re-scheduling or cancellation, the original 

game schedule shall determine which game is “second” for tiebreaking 

purposes. 

B) For district tournaments with four or more teams, the district 

tournament brackets may be drawn by random lot or placed into 

the bracket using a seeding system. A majority vote (recorded 

in writing) of the Principals, Athletic Directors or Designated 

Representatives of the schools in the district is required in order 

to make or change seeding decisions. In the absence of any 

documentation, minutes or other verifi cation, the districts shall 

not be seeded. The regulations concerning the seeding of a district 

with four or more teams are as follows: 

1) The decision to seed and the method used in seeding (including 

all tie-breakers) shall be determined by majority vote of the 

participating teams in the district and the manager shall 

record this vote in writing and submit it to the Association. The 

representatives making the written declaration shall decide all 

issues related to seeding, 

2) Seeding methods shall be determined prior to the start of the 

regular season, recorded in writing with a copy provided to the 

KHSAA, and shall remain in place until a majority vote of the 

participating schools rescinds or changes the seeding decisions. 

Such changes to the district seeding plan may not be made for 

the current year once play has begun in the regular season. 

3) In the event of dispute, the current copy on fi le with the KHSAA 

shall prevail in determining resolution. 

4) Seeding plans may, at the discretion of the majority vote of 

the schools, stipulate a particular team to a particular seeded 

position. 

5) It shall be the district tournament manager’s responsibility 

to update the Association with respect to any changes to 

the seeding decision or method being used and any relevant 

tiebreakers. In the absence of this documentation, consultation 

with, and written verifi cation and documentation from, prior 

year tournament managers, will be utilized by staff to assist 

with interpretation and clarifi cation. 

6) There is no statewide regulation on a seeding method once 

the determination has been made to seed. Some of the more 

common and recommended means of seeding is the record of 

games played within a district provided all teams have played 

all other teams. In that case, each district shall adopt tiebreaking 

procedures in the event that the primary method of 

seeding results in a tie or other situations arise which cause an 

alteration in the scheduled seeding method. Among the more 

common tie-breaking methods are 1) seeding by overall winloss 

record; seeding by win-loss record in specifi c contests, 3) 

seeding by a rating/ranking from a statewide poll, 3) seeding by 

a majority vote, 4) seeding by a committee, and 5) seeding by a 

rating turned in by each school. 

7) If win-loss records are used for seeding, the records used shall 

be the records as of the date of the pre-tournament meeting 

as published on the KHSAA memorandum calendar. Teams and 

school representatives may meet during the regular season 

to discuss tournament operations (i.e. dates, times, sites, 

tournament personnel needs, etc.). However if an organizational 

meeting is held prior to the published date on the calendar, no 

discussions may be held regarding the bracketing or pairings of 




specifi c teams unless all mandated seeded games have been 

played prior to the meeting. Games played after the published 

meeting date SHALL NOT factor into the seeded position.

into a previously seeded district during the current school year, 

the previous decision as to seeding shall prevail. If the new 

team enters the alignment following the completion of all game 

contracts and the new team is unable to schedule all required 

opponents, the new team shall be seeded in the last position 

for the current season, and shall be included in seeded game 

scheduling for the subsequent seasons. If a single change in the 

alignment occurs prior to the end of the previous school year, 

the district teams will conduct a new vote as to seeding. 

10) If a change in the alignment of teams moves more than one 

team into a seeded district, the district teams shall conduct a 

new vote as to seeding. A tie vote will result in the seeding 

decision being not seeded. 

11) If the Board of Control approves a total realignment of teams 

within a district, the teams in the district shall conduct a new 

vote as to seeding. A tie vote in this situation shall result in the 

district being not seeded.

B) ENROLLMENT CRITERIA 

The basis for determining the schools to be placed in Class 1A, 2A, 

and 3A will be the average total enrollment in grades 9-12 of a 

coeducational school including all special education students for 

the four most recent years available for the entire membership at 

the time of classifi cation. The Board of Control shall ensure that 

an upward adjustment is made for the enrollment of a school with 

less than a full high school course, and for schools enrolling boys 

only (double) or girls only (double). 

C) CLASSIFICATION 

Initial classifi cation is based on enrollment data verifi ed by the 

Kentucky Department of Education for the two years through the 

enrollment of the 2006-2007 school year. 

1) The enrollment data used to determine the class boundaries 

shall be obtained from the Kentucky Department of Education or 

other verifi able sources in the case of non-public schools. 

2) The classifi cation shall be reviewed for complete revision to 

begin with the 2012-2013 school year. 

3) The schools shall be placed in enrollment ranked order (after 

adjustment for single-sex schools) 

4) If the ranking and division leaves two or more teams with equal 

enrollments at the dividing point for class division, the Board 

of Control shall determine which teams go into each class. First 

preference is to use enrollment data at levels other than the 

top four (4) grades to determine the class boundaries. If the 

enrollment data does not yield a clear conclusion, the teams 

going into each class shall be drawn by random chance by 

drawing by lot or by coin toss. 

II) Dates and Sites for Meets 

The Commissioner shall make the determination of the regional 

meet sites. Schools interested in hosting a regional meet shall 

submit their request through the defi ned site selection process as 

distributed by the Games Committee. The prospective host shall 

supply information relating to seating and parking facilities and 

such other information as may be requested by the Commissioner. 

The Commissioner’s offi ce may use a requested site selection plan 

as a guide, but is not bound by this plan in determining the sites. If a 

region is unable to resolve confl ict over the plan, the Commissioner 

shall establish a plan. All meets will be held within the dates 

indicated on the Memorandum Calendar unless otherwise approved 

in writing by the Commissioner. 

All hosts granted an event shall host at least one meet during the 

regional meet year with at least fi ve schools entering competitors 

and using the electronic entry and results system. All host courses 

shall be properly marked per NFHS rules if the markings are not able 

to be affi xed to the ground. 

Only schools which are members of the Association prior to 

January 1 of the year in which the tournament is held, and already 

having a suitable facility for hosting the meet shall be allowed to 

apply, and only those competing in the current year will be allowed 

to vote for the region tournament location. 


Schools interested in hosting a regional meet shall submit the 

meet information when requested by the Commissioner’s offi ce. 

The applicant shall verify that the facility meets any standards 

established by the Games Committee and shall supply data relating 

to seating and parking facilities and such other information as may 

be requested by the Commissioner.

a current license to the Association designated software application 

for managing region entries and results. 

Member schools are not permitted to practice for, travel to or 

participate in an interscholastic athletic contest during the six-hour 

school day. No Cross Country meet should be scheduled at a time 

that would violate any part of the six-hour academic school day.

(*) For 2011 and 2012 playing season, the 5th place team in District 

6 of Class 6A will be bracketed as the number four (4) seed in 

District 2 for the purpose of making playoff pairings. 



3A, 4A, 5A and 6A will be the average boys enrollment, including 

all non-graded special education students, in grades 9-12 for the 

two most recent years available for the entire membership at the 

time of classifi cation. 




enrollment of the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school year. 

1) Classifi cation Plan. 

a) The enrollment data used to determine the class boundaries 

shall be obtained from the Kentucky Department of Education 

or other verifi able sources in the case of non-public schools. 

b) The classifi cation shall be for a four-year period, which may be 

extended by the Board of Control. In addition, the alignment 

will be reviewed upon receipt of the 2011-2012 school year 

enrollment information from the Kentucky Department of 

Education for possible adjustment to begin with the 2013 

playing season. 

c) The schools shall be placed in enrollment ranked order (by 

boys four grade enrollments, after adjustment for single-sex 

schools). 

d) The minimum number of teams necessary for a full bracket in 

the playoff system (32 teams) shall be placed in the highest 

class (6A) and the lowest enrolment class (1A). The remaining 

schools shall then be placed into approximately equal 

divisions in classes 2A through 5A. 

e) The highest and lowest enrollment average from each class 

shall form the bounds of the class for the purpose of making 

adjustments after two years or for adding new teams. 

f) If there are an odd number of schools or the number of 

schools is not evenly divisible by the number of classes, the 

extra teams shall be placed from the lowest class fi rst, up 

to the highest class. For example, if there were 154 teams to 

divide into the middle four (4) classes, there would be 39 in 

4A and 5A, and 38 in 2A and 3A. 

g) If the ranking and division leaves two or more teams with 

equal enrollments at the dividing point for class division, the 

Board of Control shall determine which teams go into each 




class. First preference is to use enrollment data at levels other 

than the top four (4) grades to determine the class boundaries. 

If the enrollment data does not yield a clear conclusion, the 

teams going into each class shall be drawn by random chance 

by drawing by lot or by coin toss. 

h) The Board shall give schools, once the ranked enrollments are 

determined by prior to placement into geographic districts, an 

opportunity to play to a higher class. Such request will only be 

approved if the move can be substantiated by improving the 

geographic (travel) concerns of both the lower and requested 

class. Requests will be summarily denied if the request is 

justifi ed by desire to improve competitive opportunity or 

leaves a class with the inability to form districts with more 

than four teams or requires more than six teams in a given 

district. 

i) No request to play into a lower district than the enrollment 

boundaries indicate, will be considered. 

3) If at any time during the classifi cation period, a school 

withdraws from playoff competition, it shall not be eligible until 

the end of the classifi cation period. 

4) The Board shall attempt to ensure that districts do not fall 

below four (4) teams and that travel distance is the primary 

determinant in both alignment decisions, and decisions 

involving playoff pairings. 

D) District CHAMPION 

1) Class 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5Aand 6A will be divided into two semistates 

with four regions in each semi-state, and those four 

regions having two districts in each region. 

2) To be eligible to be champion, runner-up, third place or fourth 

place position of a district, a team shall play all other teams 

assigned to their district. 

3) The champion, runner-up, third place or fourth place position in 

each district shall be determined by the win-loss record based 

upon the games played against opponents in the district. Only 

games scheduled by contract prior to the fi rst legal playing date 

and played before the fi rst weekend of the state playoffs shall 

be used in determining a district winner or runner-up. 

a) TIE-BREAKER (two teams). In the case of a tie for the 

champion, runner-up, third place or fourth place position 

between two teams based upon the win-loss record, the team 

that won the game contested between the two tied teams 

shall be declared the winner. 

b) TIE-BREAKER (more than two teams). Should three or more 

teams tie for the a district position based upon the win-loss 

record, the position shall be determined by the following: 

i) If one of the teams has defeated each of the other teams 

tied in games contested between them, that team shall be 

declared to hold the highest position, and the winner of the 

game between the remaining teams (if less than four) shall 

be declared the second highest position. In the event of 

more than three teams being tied, where one has defeated 

each of the tied teams, that team shall be declared the 

highest position, and the tie-breaking procedure shall be 

re-applied for the remaining tied teams. 

ii) If the tie remains, each team tied for the position shall 

receive one point for each game won by any four of their 

defeated opponents in all games, except for the games 

played between any two of the tied teams. All games played 

shall be counted in applying the tie-breaking procedure, 

including out of state games, with the exception that a 

defeated school may be counted only once in the procedure 

regardless of the number of games played against that 

particular school. Teams awarded forfeit victories (whether 

or not a forfeit fee is paid) may count the defeated opponents 

of the forfeiting team, provided the game was not replaced 

on the schedule. 

iii) If the tie remains after application of provision (ii), an 

additional defeated opponent’s wins will be added to the 

point total for each team until the tie is broken and the 

winner of the tied position declared, or until all games are 

exhausted. 

iv) If the tie for the position involves only three teams, and the 

application of (ii) and (iii) results in one team being declared 

the winner of the tied position based on point totals, the 

highest point total from the application of (ii) and (iii) 

between the two remaining tied teams shall be declared to 

hold the next position. 

v) If the tie for the championship involves more than three 

teams, and the application of (ii) and (iii) results in one 

team being declared the winner of the tied position based 

on point totals, the procedure shall then be re-applied to 

determine the next position. 

vi) If the tie for the position involves more than three teams, 

and the application of (ii) and (iii) results in two teams 

remaining tied for the position based on points, the head 

to head game played between them shall break the tie, and 

head to head competition will break any remaining ties. 

viii) If a tie results after application of all provisions of the 

above plan, the tie shall be broken by the Board of Control. 

II) Dates and Times for Playoff Games 

A) Playoff competition will begin on the Friday or Saturday three 

weeks prior to Thanksgiving Day. All playoff contests shall be held 

on Friday unless there exists a mutual agreement between the 

schools to hold the game on another day due to fi eld conditions or 

availability, availability of offi cials, or in the mutual best interests 

of the competing teams. 

1) The top four teams as determined by intra-district records 

after all tie breakers have been applied will qualify for the 

championship playoffs. The fi nishing position within the Region 

shall hereinafter be referred to as the “seeded position”. 

2) For the 2011 and 2012 seasons, the playoffs shall be cross 

bracketed beginning with the fi rst round in accordance with 

the following chart, and such chart shall form the order of the 

bracket for the fi ve rounds of the playoffs. In the chart, the fi rst 

column represents the Class and Region label for playoff awards 

and bracketing. The playoff bracketing for 2013 and 2014 is 

tentative and will be fi nalized by the Board of Control at a later 

date. 

Region 2011 2012 2013 2014 

1A-R1 D1 vs. D2 D1 vs. D2 D1 vs. D2 D1 vs. D2 
























3) For the 2011 and 2012 seasons, in each Class and Region unless 

otherwise noted, the fi rst place team from the paired districts 

on the cross bracket chart will host the fi rst round game against 

the fourth place team from the paired district, the second 

place team from the paired districts on the cross bracket chart 


will host the third place team from the paired district. In the 

second round the winner of the game between fi rst and fourth 

place cross bracketed teams will play the winner of the game 

between the second and third place cross bracketed teams. All 

other districts will use the same playoff pattern. In all games in 

the second round, the team with the highest seeded position 

(fi nishing position in the district) shall host the game. 

4) The highest seed (fi nishing position in the district) shall host 

the regional championship game (third round). Should teams 

with the same seeding meet in the third round, the team 

representing the even-numbered District shall host the games 

in even-numbered years, while the team representing the oddnumbered 

District shall host the game in odd-numbered years. 

If the paired districts are both even or both odd, the highest 

numbered district shall host the game in even numbered years 

and the lowest numbered district shall host the game in odd 

numbered years. 

5) For the semi-state round (fourth round), the champion of 

region 1 will play the champion of Region 2 while the champion 

of Region 3 will play the champion of Region 4. The team 

representing the even-numbered Region shall host the games 

in even-numbered years, while the team representing the oddnumbered 

Region shall host the game in odd-numbered years. 

6) Winners of the fourth round games will play for the class 

championships. 

7) The Board of Control may review and consider for revision, the 

playoff pairings at any time during the alignment period. 

B) The site of all games during the fi rst four rounds in all classes 

shall be determined by the designated home team. The Board of 

Control may review and consider this provision for revision at any 

time during the alignment period.

of the visiting team, offi cials, trophies, and other necessary 

expenses. 

2) If no agreement can be reached on lodging, meal, and travel 

expenses, it is recommended that the gross gate be divided 

evenly between the teams after the payment of offi cials and

coeducational school including all special education students for 

the four most recent years available for the entire membership at 

the time of classifi cation. The Board of Control shall ensure that 

an upward adjustment is made for the enrollment of a school with 

less than a full high school course, and for schools enrolling boys 

only (double) or girls only (double). 




enrollment of the 2006-2007 school year. 

1) The enrollment data used to determine the class boundaries 

shall be obtained from the Kentucky Department of Education or 

other verifi able sources in the case of non-public schools. 

2) The classifi cation shall be reviewed for complete revision to 

begin with the 2012-2013 school year. 

3) The schools shall be placed in enrollment ranked order (after 

adjustment for single-sex schools) 

4) If the ranking and division leaves two or more teams with equal 

enrollments at the dividing point for class division, the Board 

of Control shall determine which teams go into each class. First 

preference is to use enrollment data at levels other than the 

top four (4) grades to determine the class boundaries. If the 

enrollment data does not yield a clear conclusion, the teams 

going into each class shall be drawn by random chance by 

drawing by lot or by coin toss. 



meet sites. Schools interested in hosting a regional meet shall 

submit their request through the defi ned site selection process at 

prior year meets. If a region is unable to resolve confl ict over the 

plan, the Commissioner shall establish a plan. The Commissioner’s 

offi ce may use this site selection plan as a guide, but is not bound 

by this plan in determining the sites. All meets will be held within 

the dates indicated on the Memorandum Calendar unless otherwise 

approved in writing by the Commissioner. 


January 1 of the year in which the tournament is held, and already 

having a suitable facility for hosting the meet shall be allowed to

Schools interested in hosting a regional meet shall submit the 

meet information when requested by the Commissioner’s offi ce. 

The applicant shall verify that the facility meets any standards 


established by the Games Committee and shall supply data relating 

to seating and parking facilities and such other information as 

may be requested by the Commissioner. Member schools are not 

permitted to practice for, travel to or participate in an interscholastic 

athletic contest during the six-hour school day. No Track and Field 

meet should be scheduled at a time that would violate any part of 

the six-hour academic school day. During this time of graduations, 

etc, scheduling adjustments made known due to confl icts in advance, 

may need to be made.

deemed necessary to manage the event. It is the duty of regional 

managers to notify all schools participating in the meet as to the 

time and place of the meet, to supply them with entry blanks, to 

invite their participation, and make all arrangements to conduct the 

meet. It is an explicit duty of each tournament manager to inform 



deadlines provided including the actual site of the tournament if it is 

not held at the school. The Board of Control has approved the policy 

that the receipts of a tournament can be assessed (a fi ne levied 

against the manager) for failure to comply with these provisions. 


To be eligible to compete in the regional or state meet, a 

contestant shall be enrolled in the seventh (7th) grade or higher and 

be otherwise eligible by all KHSAA Bylaws. 

To be eligible to compete in the regional or state meet in all events 

with the exception of Pole Vault, a contestant shall have competed 

in at least four meets (indoor or outdoor) involving a minimum of 

two schools on a team representing a member school during the 

regular season. For all events except for Pole Vault, such participation 

requirement is not event specifi c. 

Schools desiring to enter athletes in the Pole Vault, shall have 

proof of completion of the Pole Vault Coaching Certifi cation 

Course managed through www.pvscb.com on or before May 15 

of the current year. Such certifi cation shall be current and shall be 

maintained when certifi cation periods change. Only those coaches 

who have successfully completed the Pole Vault course may utilize 

any coaching box or additional coaching privilege afford to coaches 

by NFHS rules. 

Athletes desiring to enter the Pole Vault shall have competed in 

Pole Vault at least four high school meets on a team representing a 

member school during the regular season. Such participation shall 

be verifi ed to the regional manager using the required KHSAA forms. 

Athletes entering high school meets where only the Pole Vault is 

contested or meets where that school’s only participation is Pole 

Vault may count that participation against the required four (4) 

meets and the school does not have to count that particular meet 

against its maximum number of meets allowed under Bylaw 25. 

Athletes competing in high school meets (grades 9-12) and 

participating with a high school as a representative of that school 

irrespective of level of the meet shall be allowed to count that meet 

toward the four meet minimum. Coaches should maintain and have 

available copies of all results for the regional manager to verify in 

case of a challenge to the required participation minimums by any 

athlete. Such individual meet verifi cation (results) may be recorded 

on standard forms distributed by the Association in lieu of keeping 

individual results.

The electronic entry for contestants in the region meet shall be 

submitted not later than 9:00 p.m. four (4) days prior to the fi rst day 

of preliminaries. For those regions holding preliminary competition in 

Pole Vault or other events at a different time, the entry deadline will 

be not less than four (4) days prior to that date for those events. 

By 9 p.m., three (3) days prior to the regional meet, the manager 

shall distribute a preliminary Performance Listing to all coaches in 

the region, shall also submit the list via the UK listserve, and shall 

also submit to KHSAA for posting on website. 

By 9 p.m., two (2) days before the region, all coaches desiring to 

challenge a particular time shall have notifi ed the regional manager 

as to the objection, and the regional manager shall thereafter resolve 

and determine the entry time. 

By 9 p.m., one (1) day prior to the regional meet, the manager 

shall distribute a fi nal Performance Listing to all coaches in the 

region, shall also submit the list via the UK listserve, and shall also 

submit to KHSAA for posting on website. 

Only in the case of documented medical emergency can these 

deadlines be waived. 

An entry with no time entered for an athlete may be challenged. 

The KHSAA impose a fi ne of $100 against any school attempting 

to enter athletes after any published deadline. 

A school may enter one or two contestants in each individual 

event and one team in each relay race at the regional meet. 

Eight participants may be named to a relay team, any four of 

whom may be used in the preliminaries or in the fi nals. The same 

eight individuals are the only athletes eligible to be entered in that 

relay race at the state meet. Coaches should list a maximum of eight 

individuals on the relay entry, and then shall declare the runners 

that will run prior to each race. The same eight individuals are the 

only athletes eligible to be entered in that race at the state meet. 

Listing on the entry does not count as one of their events unless 

they actually report to the clerk. Being listed as an alternate does 

not count as one of the events for the athlete against the four-event 

limit. Only those relay contestants who actually participate will be 

considered offi cial entries. 

Any contestant whose name is on the entry form may be 

substituted for the original entry at a regional meet, prior to the 

deadline for scratch/add. After this time, the manager may only allow 

the substitution if the original entry is prevented from participating 

in the event because of circumstances beyond their control and with 

medical documentation. 

In any meet, a contestant shall not compete in more than four 

events. Any number of these events may be relays. IF A COMPETITOR 

EXCEEDS PARTICIPATION LIMITS, THEY SHALL FORFEIT ALL 

INDIVIDUAL AND TEAM POINTS EARNED IN ANY EVENT AND SHALL 

BE DISQUALIFIED FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION IN THAT MEET. 

The top two competitors in each event at the regional meet shall 

automatically qualify for the state meet along with the next four 

best times/heights/marks from the state-at-large. In addition, those 

contestants meeting the published time standards in accordance 

with the published guidelines shall also qualify for the state meet. 

VI) Offi cials (Regular and Postseason) 

The local management of the postseason track and cross country 

meets shall have the authority to hire and utilize all licensed 

offi cials necessary for properly conducting the meets. It is strongly 

recommended that a KHSAA licensed offi cial (Track and Field), be 

present at each Track meet that counts toward the limit of meets in 

accordance with Bylaw 25. In any meet where more than four (4) 

schools are entering teams or individuals, there shall be a KHSAA 

licensed Track offi cial. 

The fee shall be $45 per division (one boys program of events and 

one girls program of events) for each of two licensed KHSAA offi cials 

for a standard school day or half-day (3 hours or less) weekend Track 

Meet. For larger meets that require longer than three hours, the 

fee shall be $65 per each of the two licensed offi cials (Referee & 

Starter). If additional referees are hired at the discretion of meet 

management, they shall receive the same fee. 

At the discretion and with the approval of the manager, the meet 

assigned referees shall be paid a mileage allowance for one car 

based on the mileage necessary. Additional postseason allowances 

for lodging, etc. shall be at the discretion of the tournament manager 

and shall be approved by the Commissioner. 

For the State Track and Cross Country meets, the Commission 

shall have the authority to hire and utilize all offi cials necessary for 

properly conducting the meets. Where possible, the Association shall 




utilize KHSAA licensed track offi cials for the state meets. State Track 

offi cials will be paid according to position in accordance with a scale 

approved by the Commission in advance. 

Final approval for all selections to the meets shall be made by the 

Commission. 

Track and Field Regional meet assigned offi cials shall be paid $70 

per division plus the Board of Control approved travel allowances. 

Only one offi cial will be paid travel for the regional meet.

shall submit their request through the defi ned site selection process 

at prior year tournaments. The applicant shall supply information 

relating to seating and parking facilities and such other information 

as may be requested by the Commissioner. The Commissioner’s 

offi ce may use this site selection plan as a guide, but is not bound

necessary to manage the event. It is the duty of each manager 

to notify all schools participating in the meet as to the time and 

place of the meet, to supply him or her with entry instructions, to 

invite their participation, and make all arrangements to conduct the 

meet. It is an explicit duty of each tournament manager to inform 



deadlines provided including the actual site of the tournament if it is 

not held at the school. The Board of Control has approved the policy 

that the receipts of a tournament can be assessed (a fi ne levied 

against the manager) for failure to comply with these provisions. 

IV) Weight Management, Certifi cation and Control 

A) Minimum Weight Determination and Reporting 

1) All athletes shall meet eligibility requirements including the 

development of a set minimum body weight. This weight is 

to be determined in joint consultation with the athlete, his/ 

her parents, his/her doctor and the coach and may require an 

additional medical examination by a medical doctor. 

2) An accepted method of determining this weight shall be used 

and the Commissioner shall approve the method. Any one of 

the four approved methods may be used in accordance with 

the weight management procedures, including skin-fold caliper 

testing; BOD POD® air displacement; Bioelectrical Impedance 

Analysis or Hydrostatic (under water) determination. 

3) The NWCA (National Wrestling Coaches Association) online 

system shall be used to record and track the procedures. 

4) The minimum weight class for each wrestler shall be determined 

using the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) 

online system between October 15 and the fi rst regular season 

match. 

5) The Head Coach of the team is responsible for maintaining a 

signed copy of the Alpha Report as the wrestling permission 

form. Each athlete subject to the sub-7% physician permission 

shall have a properly completed form processed, and the Head 

Coach shall send a copy of that form to the KHSAA prior to the 

fi rst competition. 

6) Failure to determine an athlete’s minimum weight shall render 

the athlete ineligible for competition. Athletes without a 

minimum weight determination may not wrestle in competition 

or in practice after the fi rst date for competition during the 

regular season. 

7) The Head Coach or the wrestling program at a particular school 

may be penalized in accordance with Bylaw 33, and may be 

declared ineligible for competition for failing to submit minimum 

weight verifi cation information in a timely fashion. 

8) A wrestler may not compete on the day of the minimum body 

weight testing. 

9) A wrestler desiring to appeal the original minimum weight 

certifi cation results shall complete the hydrostatic weight 

appeal within two (2) weeks of the original test. 

10) A wrestler may never be certifi ed into a class which is below 

the minimum body weight determined by the wrestler, his/her 

parents, his/her coach and his/her doctor and verifi ed by using 

the proper calculation forms. 

B) Weight Classes, Weigh-ins and Records 

1) Competition shall be divided into weight classes for regular and 

postseason competition as follows: 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 

138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. 

2) The two-pound growth allowance will be added to each class 

boundary on December 25, thereby shifting the bounds of the 

class. The individual wrestler does not “receive” two pounds, 

the class weight limit is simply increased by two pounds.. 




3) For each round of the KHSAA postseason tournament, the two 

pound weight / growth allowance provisions from the National 

Federation Rules shall be used as such shall be added on 

December 25. 

4) A certifi ed scale shall be used to verify weight at all matches 

(regular and postseason). Scales which do not display current 

certifi cation or for which current documentation is not available 

shall not count toward the wrestler’s weigh-in requirements but 

shall count as though the wrestler weighed 288. 

5) If an athlete competes in a match where no certifi ed scale was 

available, the weigh-in counts as a “miss” in all fourteen weight 

classes with respect to achieving a desired weight class weighin. 

6) A member school representative may not compete in any match 

where a weigh-in is not conducted and recorded. 

7) The Head Coach of each team shall be responsible for entering 

the complete competition schedule of the team prior to the 

fi rst competition date, using the NWCA online system and shall 

maintain the accuracy of that schedule throughout the season. 

8) The Head Coach of each team shall provide, for each competition 

weigh-in, a match weigh-in form produced by the NWCA 

online system showing the lowest applicable weight for each 

competing wrestler on the actual date of competition. 

Local event managers should have in place an option to produce 

such listing in the event that the competing coach does not 

produce this report at weigh-ins. 

Any coach failing to produce this report shall have the weigh-ins 

recorded on an alternate form, and such shall be provided, by an 

opposing coach, to the KHSAA for review. 

Repeated failure to produce these required weigh-in reports 

shall be cause for suspension of the Head Coach from regular or 

post season competition or other penalty contained in KHSAA 

Bylaw 33 and may subject the team to ineligibility to enter the 

regional wrestling tournament. 

9) Following each match, and prior to the next competition for the 

squad, each coach shall enter the actual scale weights of each 

wrestler who weighed in for the competition, using the NWCA 

online system. For multiple day competition within the same 

event, only the fi rst day weigh-in is to be recorded. 

Repeated failure to enter scale weights prior to the next 

competition shall be cause for suspension of the Head Coach 

from regular or post season competition or other penalty 

contained in KHSAA Bylaw 33 and may subject the team to 

ineligibility to enter the regional wrestling tournament. 

C) Certifi cation into a Weight Class 

1) A wrestler is certifi ed into a particular weight class at any 

regularly scheduled match or tournament any time on or prior to 

the Saturday of NFHS week 30 by making base weight (including 

growth allowance after December 25) at an offi cial weigh-in on 

a certifi ed scale as long as that certifi ed weight is not below the 

documented minimum weight and is at a time allowed by the 

minimum weight calculations. A wrestler weighing in on or prior 

to the Saturday of NFHS week 30 is continually certifying at the 

weigh-in weight. 

2) Once a wrestler is certifi ed into a particular weight class as 

of the Saturday of NFHS week 30, he/she may weigh-in only 

in that class and one class above. He/she is automatically recertifi 

ed into a higher weight class after the Saturday of NFHS 

week 30 by weighing in and qualifying for that class, but never 

into a lower weight class. After the Saturday of NFHS week 30, 

making base weight (including growth) two classes above any 

previously certifi ed weight class automatically renders that 

wrestler ineligible for the remainder of the year to wrestle in the 

lower weight class (previous certifi ed weight). 

3) Please note that this rule is for weigh-ins, not matches. It is 

possible that a wrestler weighed in at a certain class weight 

for a match, but wrestled up during that match. That weigh-in 

would count for the lower, weigh-in class. 

D) Weight Control 

All coaches are cautioned that rapid reduction in weight can 

endanger the health of the student athlete and coaches are 

encouraged to keep current with all research in this area. The 

manager of each meet is to have each participant weighed and it is 

highly recommended that a physician examine each participant. 

V) Eligibility to Enter Tournament Play 

An athlete shall have a combination of four matches or four 

weigh-ins representing the high school during the current season in 

order to be eligible to enter the region. 


team championship. 

A school may list an unlimited number of entrants from a list of 

eligible athletes as possible competitors in the regional tournaments. 

Each of these potential entrants shall be entered via the NWCA 

online weight management system. This list shall include all names 

of anyone who is to be eligible to participate in the postseason and 

shall be generated by the NWCA wrestling system. 

A school may enter one participant in each weight class in the 

region tournament. 

Each coach shall ensure that each athlete has a completed 

wrestling permission form on fi le with the school (the Alpha Report 

along with the sub-7% form if necessary). This form is to contain 

signatures from the athlete, the coach and the parents verifying 

compliance with all rules as well as the health care provider who did 

the minimum weight testing, and the doctor if the athlete is below 

7%. These forms shall be brought to the entry/seeding meeting for 

submission and verifi cation. 

VI) Regional Seeding Meeting and Tournament 

A) Attendance and Required Documentation 

1) The specifi ed reports from the NWCA system that show both 

the minimum weight and match by match weights shall be 

brought to the seeding meeting for the region tournament by 

the coach or designated school representative of each school 

desiring to participate. 

2) A wrestler may not be entered in a region tournament unless 

the weigh-in verifi cation records are completed via the NWCA 

system. 

B) Seeding Meeting Procedures 

1) The regional manager will coordinate a meeting of participating 

coaches for the purpose of making region pairings in each 

weight class by seeding the participants. 

2) The Advisory Committee member from the specifi c region shall 

chair the meeting and be responsible for compliance with the 

Tournament rules. 

3) Each school shall have a representative at the seeding meeting 

for the region tournament or that school may not enter 

wrestlers. 

4) Those present at the meeting may conduct the business of the 

region meeting including completion of the seeded brackets. If 

votes are taken, each school may only have one vote. 

5) Collectively, the schools shall decide the seeded wrestlers in 

each weight class. For regions without an adopted seeding plan, 

the following criteria may serve as a guide: 

a) Head to head competition between contestants. 

b) The record against common opponents; 

c) A contestant with a better overall record; 

d) A contestant with an exceptional record against acknowledged 

strong competition; 

e) A returning champion or runner-up in the same weight class; 

6) The member school representatives DO NOT HAVE authority to 

waive the tournament rules or create new ones for the basic 

entry, bracket and scoring procedures 

7) Following the initial seeding, the tournament manager and 

the regional Advisory Committee member shall develop the 

preliminary bracket. 

8) Once the regional seeding meeting is complete, no alterations 

can be made to the seeding except per Section (C) below. 

C) Regional Tournament Format 

1) After the seeding is completed, a coach may choose to designate 

a wrestler into another class by notifying the manager prior to 

the beginning of weigh-ins. 

2) Once weigh-ins begin, an athlete may not be entered into a 

lower class than previously entered by the coach as the scales 

will have closed on that previous class. 

3) An athlete missing weight at the region weigh-ins may be 

replaced in that weight class by any eligible member of the 

team who is on the NWCA online Alpha Master report, who 

meets the qualifi cations per the minimum weight guidelines, 

who has participated in four high school matches or bouts, who 


is eligible by the KHSAA Tournament Rules, and who is eligible 

by all other weight qualifi cation rules including a valid weigh-in 

at the region. 

The wrestler missing weight may be moved to either of the 

weight classes for which his/her scale weight permits. 

The wrestler missing weight, if not replaced by another wrestler 

from the same squad, creates a bye in the bracket, and if 

necessary, brackets may need to be re-drawn to accurately 

refl ect seeding. 

4) Once the scales are closed, entries are considered fi nal. At 

that point, any further withdrawal from the tournament series 

constitutes a forfeit. 

5) If any entered wrestler (seeded or otherwise), due to action of 

the coach prior to or after weigh-ins, changes weight classes, 

then the regional committee member and tournament manager 

shall convene all coaches for a supplemental meeting after the 

scales have closed for 285 pound class. 

6) At that short supplemental meeting the participating coaches 

shall vote to determine if the wrestler who was seeded in a 

former class should now be seeded in his/her entered class or if 

any other wrestler changing classes since the fi rst entries were 

submitted necessitates an additional seeding discussion.. 

7) No other wrestling seeding decision from the original seeding 

meeting is able to be discussed or reconsidered as those are 

fi nal upon conclusion of the seeding meeting. 

8) After this supplemental meeting is completed, the regional 

committee member and manager shall ensure that the proper 

bracket is completed for each class according to the bracketing 

guidelines. 

9) All regional wrestling brackets shall be placed in the proper 4-, 

8- or 16-person bracket. A 12-person brackets may not be used 

as the NFHS wrestling rules require a bracket of a power of 4. 

10) Each weight class shall be considered separately as to bracket 

size. A weight class with 1-4 wrestlers shall use a 4-person 

bracket; 5-8 wrestlers shall use an 8-person bracket and 9-16 

shall use a 16-person bracket. 

11) There will be a full wrestle-back tournament in each weight 

class at the region tournament. 

12) The region tournament will be wrestled and scored to six 

places in each bracket. 

B) State. 

1) The top four wrestlers in each weight class shall advance from 

the regional tournament into the state tournament. In the event 

that a seeded wrestler is not able to participate in the state 

tournament due to injury or other reason beyond the control of 

the wrestler, the appropriate seeded wrestler(s) will be moved 

up in the seeding, and the fi fth place wrestler from the regional 

tournament will be seeded fourth. 

2) There shall be a rotation system developed that attempts 

to ensure that there are no byes in the state tournament by 

rolling into the tournament, the fi fth place wrestler from a 

randomly selected region if the qualifying region has less than 

fi ve wrestlers or the fi fth place wrestler is unavailable and a 

replacement is needed. 

3) Notifi cation of situations of this type where substitutions are 

made shall be made to the Commissioner immediately with 

further notifi cation to all effected coaches. 

4) Wrestlers unable to compete may be replaced prior to weighins, 

and such shall not constitute a forfeit. Other positions shall 

be rotated up in the bracketing. Wrestlers missing weight at the 

State tournament shall constitute a forfeit. 

5) There will be a full wrestle-back tournament for each weight 

class at the state tournament. 

6) The Commissioner shall draw each weight class individually for 

the pairings at the state tournament. 

7) The state tournament will be wrestled and scored to eight 

places. 

VII) Rules 

The National Federation of State High School Association Rules

Case TR-3- What sports and sport activities are insured 

by the KHSAA? 

The KHSAA Board of Control will purchase Catastrophe Insurance,

in a support capacity at those sponsored events (managers, 

trainers, etc) shall be included in the coverage as well as 

cheerleaders complying with the NFHS rules restrictions and 

Bylaw 25 limitations. 

Such insurance coverage shall be in force from the fi rst day of 

the Bylaw 25, Limitation of Seasons in a sponsored sport or 

sport activity, through the last day, provided such competition 

complies with all parts of the Bylaw and its individual 

competitors comply with all applicable KHSAA bylaws. The 

deductible for this policy shall be published in a timely manner 

to ensure that the school and student-athletes have adequate 

opportunity to comply with Bylaw 2. 

The KHSAA Board of Control will purchase General Liability 

Insurance, using the member dues and tournament receipts, to 

provide for General Liability coverage for the Association and 

its agents and assignees, in all KHSAA sponsored competition 

in all sports for which the Association sponsors a championship. 

The Commissioner shall ensure through all forms of due 

diligence, that all levels of these sponsored championships are 

conducted in accordance with applicable KHSAA Tournament 

Regulations in order to maintain the integrity of the policy. 

Case TR-4- How many schools are required to agree 

to participate in KHSAA sponsored postseason 

competition in order for the Association to hold a 

championship in that sport? 

Ten (10) percent of the member schools located in at least three 

(3) different basketball regions shall agree to fi eld a team in 

order that the Association consider sponsoring a championship 

in that sport. In addition, ten (10) percent of the member 

schools located in at least three (3) different basketball regions 

shall participate each year in order that the Association 

maintains championships in that sport. The Association shall 

survey the membership every three years to determine interest 

in new offerings. (Board of Control, March, 1994, amended 

February, 2011) 

Case TR-5- Who is in control of the media and press at 

KHSAA sponsored competition? 


rights to the State championship rounds of the KHSAA 

postseason championships belong exclusively to the KHSAA, 

including titling agreements and sponsorships. No member 

school may approve or sign an agreement that includes rights 

to state contests (delayed or live). 


rights to the postseason rounds prior to the state fi nals 

belong exclusively to the KHSAA, including titling agreements 

and sponsorships. No member school can sign an exclusive 

agreement for a postseason round (District, Region, Sub- 

Section, Section) without agreement between the schools and 

approval of the KHSAA Offi ce. 


rights to the postseason rounds prior to the state fi nals belong 

exclusively to the KHSAA, but are assigned to the Principal 

of each institution for management and control. No member 

school shall sign an exclusive regular season agreement 

that would “Shut out” its opponent from any audio, video 

streaming or having the opportunity to do so. 

4) At all levels of competition during postseason play, control of 

media access and location at those contests is with the KHSAA. 

In general, the management of those rights may be assigned to 

the manager at the host KHSAA member school for the district, 

regional and sectional (semi-state) competition. 

5) At all levels of competition, including district, regional, 

sectional, and state competition in KHSAA sponsored 

tournaments and meets, managers are to make allowances 

for members of the television media to tape portions of the 

contests at no charge to the media outlet, as long as the taping 

is for the sole purpose of newscast highlights. 

6) Outlets desiring to tape the contest for broadcast or telecast 

shall seek the permission of the event manager, and the 

manager has the right to set and collect any fee which may be 

deemed appropriate as an offset to any perceived lost ticket 

revenue. 

7) At the state level, all negotiations for rights to broadcast 

or telecast shall be initiated with the Sports Information 

Director and the Commissioner, and shall be approved by the 

Commissioner. 

Case TR-6- Who is empowered to make decisions at 

KHSAA tournaments when inclement weather forces 

postponement of contests or events? 

While it would be ideal if all parties could meet and agree on any 

re-scheduling of games necessitated by inclement weather or 

other natural events, this may not be practical. It is the duty 

of the tournament manager to make decisions with regards to 

re-scheduling in the event of postponement and ensure that all 

teams, media outlets and schools are properly notifi ed. 

Case TR-7- Is it possible for a winner and corresponding 

runner-up in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball or 

volleyball district tournament to meet before the fi nal 

regional game? 

No, because they are to be placed in opposite brackets. 

Case TR-8- Is there a mandatory brand of game ball to be 

used in the state tournament in baseball, basketball, 

football, softball, volleyball or soccer? 

Yes, the Association has a long-term agreement with Rawlings 

Sporting Goods to provide specifi c balls for the state 

championship tournament, and the Commissioner’s offi ce can 

provide specifi cations upon request. In all postseason contests 

in these sports, a Rawlings brand ball with the proper NFHS 

authenticating mark shall be used. There is no requirement that 

a KHSAA logo appear on the ball, or that all balls except for 

these specifi c models be disallowed. 

For 2011-2012, those ball numbers are: 

Boys Basketball - KYPROMB 

Girls Basketballs - KYPROWB 

Volleyball - KYVBI1001B (white), KYVBI10013B (3-panel) 

Soccerball - KYSB850B 

Baseball - R100KY and R200KY 




Softball - NFHS12Y47LKY 

Football - ST5KYB and ST5PROSKYB. 

Case TR-9– Are there any restrictions on the scheduling 

and playing of games in a “seeded district” in baseball, 

basketball, soccer, softball, or volleyball? 

Yes. Principals, Athletic Directors and Coaches should consult 

the Tournament Rules related to each of these sports for 

more specifi c dates for tournament meetings and allowances 

for scheduling of these meetings. All games involved in the 

calculation of a seed position SHALL be played on or before the 

Wednesday prior to the start of postseason play. Games played 

after that time SHALL NOT factor into the seeded position. 

For the 2011-2012 school year, the deadline to play seeded 

district games in soccer and volleyball is October 2, 2011. 


district games in basketball is February 12, 2012. 


district games in baseball and softball is May 14, 2012. 

Case TR-10- When are the boys’ and girls’ state basketball 

tournaments to be played? 

Unless facilities are unavailable, and unless further altered by 

the Board of Control, the boys’ state basketball tournament 

will be played during the same week as the fi rst round of the 

NCAA mens’ basketball championships. The Board shall then 

adopt and publish corresponding dates to indicate the timing 

of the girls’ state tournament, and all district and regional 

tournaments. 

Case TR-11- How are the tournament sites selected for 

district tournament sites for baseball, basketball, 

soccer, softball in the event that agreement cannot be 

reached on a site selection plan? 

If a site rotation agreement cannot be reached on fi rst round 

(normally district) tournaments, the Commissioner will 

intervene and establish a rotation plan subject to approval 

by the Board of Control. The site selection plan shall be 

confi rmed by annual balloting during the season and reported 

to the Association along with seeding decisions. Rotating the 

tournament sites does not necessarily mean that each school 

shall host the tournament at that school’s home site, but that 

each school, with available proper and adequate facilities, 

shall have the opportunity to host the tournament, even if an 

alternative site is required due to site requirements within a 

given sport. 

Case TR-12- What schools may vote for basketball district 

tournament sites, site selection or seeding plan? 

Only member schools having a schedule of twelve games or more 

with at least six different member schools. 

Case TR-13- Is there a deadline for a district host school 

in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball or volleyball to 

select a playing site if the school home site doesn’t 

meet the requirements for holding the tournament? 

Yes. Through various rules and rulings in past years, every school 

in a specifi c district alignment shall have an opportunity to 

serve as the host for the tournament. Each school may, of 

course, decline that opportunity. However, this requirement 

ensures that on a periodic basis, all schools get to share in 

the concession and parking proceeds, host share of the ticket 

receipts and other benefi ts that come from serving as the host. 

It is recognized that all schools in a given alignment will not 

meet the tournament specifi cations.. 

For this reason, the following steps shall be taken by the schools 

in the district- 

1) The schools shall meet and decide what facilities can hold the 

attendance of the last fi ve years of the tournament based on 

the fan followings of the schools, and satisfy other logistical 

needs such as accessibility, parking, etc. (agreed sites). If there 

is a disagreement, the Board of Control can serve as the fi nal 

resolution and KHSAA staff shall assist in that determination. 

2) The discussion on site applicability is separate from the ability 

to “host”, that is being the tournament manager, operating 

concessions, etc. as all schools shall be given that opportunity 

to host, just not necessarily at a site that cannot accommodate 

the event. 

3) From that list of agreed sites, the rotation of sites is to be 

considered, factoring in of course, that all schools shall be 

given a chance (if they want) to host, even if it isn’t played at 

the host school’s home playing facility. 

4) In a year when the designated host’s home facility does not 

meet the specifi cations for holding the tournament, the fi nal 

selection as to the playing site rests with the designated host 

school. That school has sole discretion to make that decision, 

but is compelled to choose only from the list of agreed facilities 

as mentioned in (1) above. 

5) In a year when the designated host school’s home facility does 

not meet the specifi cations for holding the tournament, the 

designation shall be made by September 20 in volleyball and 

soccer; January 1 in basketball; and April 15 for baseball and 

softball. 

Case TR-14- When is the standard meeting to be held for 

the district tournament in baseball, basketball, soccer, 

softball and volleyball? 

Not later than the second Sunday prior to the published week 

of the district tournament in all sports where a tournament 

meeting is specifi ed (baseball, basketball, soccer, softball and 

volleyball). The meeting may be held earlier if the participating 

teams agree, but not prior to the fi nal announcement of sites. 

Case TR-15- May teams withdraw from a baseball, 

basketball. soccer, softball or volleyball tournament 

after the drawings have been made? 

No. The penalty for such a withdrawal is withdrawal from 

postseason competition for two years and could also result in 

suspension from the Association for a period of twelve months. 

Case TR-16- May a name be added to the roster or entry 

form after the deadline for submission or editing? 

No, changes cannot be made unless otherwise provided in the 

tournament rules for a specifi c sport. The principal shall check 

the online roster in baseball, basketball, football, soccer, 

softball and volleyball to ensure that all players are on the 

list as the rosters are locked after postseason play begins. For 

individual sports using the published entry list and/or forms, 

the specifi c sport touranment rules will address any options for 

substitution or correction, if such options exist. 

Case TR-17- How many names can appear on the roster 

for baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball and 

volleyball? 

Schools may enter an unlimited roster using the online roster 

system for baseball, basketball, football, soccer, softball and 

volleyball. The coach, Principal or designated representative 

can then designate the required number of contestants for 

each event from that list. 

Case TR-18- How is it determined that a meet counts 

against the four meet minimum in Track and Field or 

Cross Country? 

In order to count as a meet for the four meet minimum a meet 

shall be a meet which rises to the standard of counting as a 

meet towards the interpretations of Bylaw 25. In addition, 

in Cross Country, the distance would be a minimum of 2500 

meters and a maximum of 5000 meters and involved entries 

from two or more schools. To count towards the minimums, 

the meets may be at the Varsity or non Varsity level in terms 

of meet structure. It shall be counted in the same manner for 

all competitors (varsity, JV or freshman). The school approved 

or provided uniform shall be worn in this competition. In 

accordance with Bylaw 20, a school representative shall 

accompany the team. 

Case TR-19- If a Cross Country Meet is interrupted by 

weather, can other races be run that day? 

Yes. The particular interrupted race is considered complete and 

counts both towards meet limits and participation minimums. 

If other competition can resume after required delays, that 

is permissible. Only races actually started can count towards 

meet limits or participation minimums.
