It was recently brought to the
attention of the USOA Executive Committee and the UWH Committee that some
participants at Nationals were consuming compressed oxygen to enhance play
performance. Please note that this is prohibited as specified in section 5.12,
included below.
"5.12 All competitors shall
display good sportsmanship during the meetings and events of the competition.
Infraction of any of the following may be considered reason for individual
and/or team disqualification: use of alcohol or illegal drugs, use of
unauthorized drugs, use of oxygen, rough or unsporting conduct, and/or
disregard for safety."
Currently, there are no COVID
restrictions in effect at the North Charleston Aquatics Center. If local guidelines
change, all teams, participants and guests will be expected to adhere to
protocols as directed. Failure to do so may result in expulsion from the tournament.
