Spectator: Please remember to act professionally when viewing contests as a spectator. If you are unsure what mannerisms are inappropriate, click on Official/Spectator to review the guidelines.

Disqualification Process: The PIAA has passed a new by-law that states officials are to file a report with the PIAA Office on the appropriate form within 24 hours of the ejection or they may be placed on probation. Officials who repeatedly do not file the proper form in the prescribed time period may be suspended. This will, in effect, eliminate the false belief that if a report is not filed, the disqualification/ejection did not occur. Click here to log into the PIAA and complete the form.
