IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE
STATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
NATIONAL GAMES
(Revised and Amended from the New 2019 PASUC Manual of Operations)
IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS

In the quest for the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) to elevate the
integrity of the SCUAA National Games, this Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) was
conceptualized.
Attention is given to Referees who are expected to put order in all the games in the highest ideals of
neutrality and fair play. Likewise, Coaches are in the spotlight in order to provide and instill the discipline
expected from them in a healthy by competitive playing environment.
Lastly, Rules of the Games are highlighted in order to enhance uniformity in execution and
interpretation.
FOR REFEREES:
Code of Conduct
1.1 This Rules and Regulations for Referees is applicable for all SCUAA National Games
competitions. All Referees must be prepared to fulfill their duties in the best physical and
psychological condition. It is very important that all Referees, especially the New Referees,
understand the significance and importance of their performance while officiating any event
or match.
1.2 SCUAA National Games Management Committee requires that all Referees officiating in
major events are to thoroughly study all Sports Rules & Regulations for the games, as well as
this Rules and Regulations for Referees in order to ensure that the matches are run both
professionally and efficiently so as to avoid any interruptions.
1.3 SCUAA National Games Management Committee requires all Referees to master and be able
to apply the Official Rules relating to matches while officiating in any tournament.
Therefore, it is necessary for Referees to know and fully understand all the meanings and
implication relating to the details of the Tournament Rules as well as the Rules & Regulation
for the Games held in the tournament.
1.4 This document is prepared and addressed not only to Licensed Referees, but also to all New
Referees including national and local level Referees. All Referees are therefore required to
read and study its content in detail.
1.5 It must be noted that refereeing a match is not merely the application of the Rules &
Regulations of the Games as the basis for all decisions. This is because, there are numerous
situations in a match where a contingency may arise when the Referee cannot merely apply
the Rules of the Games without giving due consideration for the need to properly analyze the
situation to ensure that a fair decision is reached.
1.6 This means that a considerable amount of competence is required of a Referee when
officiating a match which can come with constant learning and accumulative experience.
Such competence is acquired through individual, personal experience, by participation in
SCUAA trainings/workshops/accreditations and the games itself over the years.
1.7 The Referee must always realize that he or she is not an outsider but an integral part of the
game. Therefore, he or she cannot carry out his or her tasks by just looking for faults in the
teams’ and players’ techniques or behavior and from it apply the corresponding sanctions.
This would be a very incorrect way of refereeing. On the contrary, he or she must be an
expert as well as a fair and benevolent judge who is working for the game and doing this with
the players. Only if it is absolutely necessary, should he or she make a negative decision.
1.8 A referee should never put himself or herself forward in the match, but must remain in the
background of the match, intervening only when necessary. Such behavior is particularly
2
necessary in today’s SCUAA National Games matches. The goals of SCUAA are to
encourage a spectacular way of playing Sports, by producing an excellent show for the
spectators especially through the mass media, where the game can reach many fans. Today’s
high-level Sports is not played just for the satisfaction of players in a small hall, with no
spectators, but transmitted all over the region and the country. The spectators will not like to
hear unnecessary referee’s call each time they watch a match, but they will want to see an
excellent athletic show with individual and team contests in each rally for the victory.
1.9 A good Referee helps in this context, by remaining in the background. The bad Referee
hampers this show by wanting to play a leading role in the match and this is against SCUAA
objectives. A referee must reward the players and teams for spectacular and exciting actions
which are in keeping with the spirit of the Rules. Moreover, it is essential that SCUAA
Referees maintains an excellent relationship with the players, coaches, etc. and a referee’s
behavior must in all cases be exemplary.
1.10 During the match, the Referee must be able to distinguish between normal human expressions
of feelings made under the stress of the match and real conscious unsportsmanlike behavior.
A Referee should never punish such spontaneous expressions of feelings so that the matches
are played in a good atmosphere of sportsmanship; the teams’ reasonable and proper
expressions of feeling should be allowed, such as standing up to cheer for excellent play
actions or for encouragement, etc. However, conscious negative expressions or incorrect
gestures to the opponent or protest against the referee’s decision are strictly forbidden and a
Referee’s duty is to tactfully convey official disapproval of such bad sporting behavior to the
offending players or officials.
FOR COACHES:
Philosophy,Ethical Standards,Legal Responsibilities & Preventing Injury
Coaching Philosophy
A.
SCUAA advocates in you as the Coach that coaching is both an art and a science. Science since scientific
approaches needs to be used such as data collection and data analysis. It becomes an art when the scientific
data is converted into concrete training activities that are customized to the type of athletes he is to coach and
train.
It is therefore along this line that you as a coach and trainer should recognize whether you can both collect
and analyze data and that you convert this to actual practical and doable training activities appropriate for the
athletes’ age and level of proficiency in each respective sport.
B.
SCUAA would like to anchor its coaching philosophy with what Mr. Frank Reynolds authored. He is a
Canadian Level 4 high performance coach, middle and long distances, working with elite athletes as well as
coaching high school athletes with the NorWesters Track and Field Club. He said,
“By developing a TEAM philosophy (Together Each Achieves More) as well as your
personal coaching philosophy, you bring together ingredients for superior success. By
knowing your athletes you know how each fits in with the TEAM philosophy. Some may have
values or behaviors that undermine the team and you can work out solutions to change the
athlete's behavior to fit for the good of the team. Knowing your athletes enables you to
identify your leaders and role models that the rest of the team will respond positively. By
getting athletes to buy into the 'TEAM' concept you will aid in streamlining a consistent
approach to training and competition by each athlete. This makes coaching much easier and
hopefully more rewarding.”
The statement in the preceding page is what we want propagated in you as the Coach of your team, the
TEAM Spirit.
3
Coaching Ethical Standards
A.
The Association is advocating three basic coaching styles you should embrace as a Coach that cut across any
level of athlete’s prowess.
One is telling where the coach should use lecture, explanation, and instruction.
Another is showing where you as the coach should use demonstration.
And lastly, involving is used in order for self-discovery and athlete's awareness is increased tremendously that
glues your athletes to look forward for tomorrow’s practice session.
These are the only three coaching styles SCUAA wants developed in you as a Coach.
B.
Your coaching skills are the same skills that should be learned by your athletes. Four skills you should know.
One is cognitive skills where you and your athletes are required to think and process what is in your mind.
Another is perceptual skills where your athletes should be good in interpreting any data or information
presented to them.
Motor skills are also required of you who are to focus on movements and muscle control.
Lastly are the perceptual motor skills that integrates the three mentioned beforehand that involves thinking,
interpreting and movement.
Teaching therefore these new skills in order for the athletes to embrace them is to use verbal instructions,
demonstration, video, diagrams, photo sequences, imaging, and a lot more where you as the coach need to
continuously be innovative in using or discovering new never-been-used methods before.
C.
SCUAA does not allow in you, our Coaches, to display questionable working standards. Ethics should only
be those expected by your athletes, their parents, sponsors, spectators, and the like. As such, the highest
ethical standards the association has set are humanity, relationships, commitment, co-operation, integrity,
advertising, confidentiality, abuse of privilege, safety and competence.
Coaches’ Legal Responsibilities
A.
The Association instills in you our coaches the essence of legal responsibilities whereby neglects of such
courts you into being accountable. Health and safety of its athletes is a major legal responsibility of coach
where failure to provide advice to the athletes will make the training effort useless. Transportation from
billeting quarters to playing venue is another legal responsibility because this ensures that preparation of the
players is taken cared of even before competition time.
A major burning issue now is doping. It is therefore your legal responsibility to educate your athletes of the
consequences and its effect to their playing career. Last legal responsibility is for you the coach to ensure that
your athlete has an insurance coverage since any incident arising from play will make you and your school
partly spend for hospitalization.
Preventing Injury
A.
The Association aspires to promote a safe playing environment before, during, or after the competition. We
however need you to be our partner in this quest as the coach of your team. It is therefore very helpful for all
of us to adhere to some tips we sourced from BrianMac Sports Coach as listed below to prevent injury, to wit:
1. Avoid training when you are tired

2. Increase your consumption of carbohydrate during periods of heavy training
4
3. Increase in training should be matched with increases in resting
4. Any increase in training load should be preceded by an increase in strengthening
5. Treat even seemingly minor injuries very carefully to prevent them becoming a big problem
6. If you experience pain when training STOP your training session immediately
7. Never train hard if you are stiff from the previous effort
8. Pay attention to hydration and nutrition
9. Use appropriate training surfaces
10. Check training and competition areas are clear of hazards
11. Check equipment is appropriate and safe to use
12. Introduce new activities very gradually
13. Allow lots of time for warming up and cooling off
14. Check over training and competition courses beforehand
15. Train on different surfaces, using the right footwear
16. Shower and change immediately after the cool down
17. Aim for maximum comfort when traveling
18. Stay away from infectious areas when training or competing very hard
19. Be extremely fussy about hygiene in hot weather
20. Monitor daily for signs of fatigue, if in doubt ease off.
21. Have regular sports massage
Considering the amounts of responsibilities that the coaches have and the crucial role of his
positions in the safety of the student/athlete during and after training, it is hereby suggested that a
school coach should be an employee of the institution holding a “Permanent Position”, or for
institutions getting the services of a hired coaches, the teams coaching staff must be accompanied
by an employee with a permanent status.
