15th NASeA/ANMA Joint CONVENTION 2019

Hosted by Triad Nepalese Community Center (TNCC)

3519 Imperial Dr

High Point, NC 27265

General Guideline for Sports related events

First and foremost, on the behalf of TNCC, it is an honor to organize sporting events during the major conventions like ANMA/NASeA convention. With great pleasure we are going to host Volleyball, Football (Soccer) and Table Tennis (Ping Pong). Due to the time constraint we could not accommodate more than three sporting events.

Sports, just like music, it is something that brings us together which fulfills one of the objectives of this convention. Through sports we can build our bond stronger, develop our core values and foster mutual trust among us. Sports also teaches us to make quick decisions, handle pressure situations and the values of teamwork.

So, as a part of sports organizing committee we would like to request all the players, supporters and organizers to show respect towards each other regardless of the results of the game. Victories and defeats are part of the game and life alike. Therefore, we expect everyone to enjoy each and every game which is only possible if we all can follow these few important guidelines.

1. Be on time to play the game, start on time and finish on time – no exceptions. i.e.  No Nepali Time. We have set time allocated for the court/field and it will open in time and close in time.   
2. Consumption of  alcohol and/or drugs are prohibited in the compound.
3. Do Not use profanity or vulgar language towards others – show respect towards elders, ladies and children.
4. Physical assault on other players or anybody for that matter can be resulted in expulsion, forfeiture, and/or involvement of law enforcement (Police).

We expect every player to be aware of the basic rules of their respective sports. However, these guidelines are customized to ensure our games are organized and concluded in an efficient manner for all of us to enjoy.
