PRE‐EVENT
1. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN (OSAA Handbook, Executive Board Policies) (December 2015) www.anyonecansavealife.org
Each full member school shall have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place for responding to life‐threatening emergencies in after‐school practices and events. Schools are strongly encouraged to utilize the “Anyone Can Save a Life” program, a free, turnkey solution that covers all medical emergencies.
2. EVENT MANAGEMENT CHECKLIST: This communication is vital to a successful contest and should take place as soon as the teams are finalized. Each host school should send a completed Event Management Checklist and a diagram of the seating plan to potential opponents. Please choose this link https://www.osaa.org/docs/forms/EventManagementChecklist‐Edit.pdf for the editable form.
3. GAME TIMES: Schools need to log on to the OSAA website to submit the time of their game for each playoff round prior to the semifinal site. A location for the game should only be added when the game isn’t being played at the host school’s campus. Friday, 7pm / 7:30pm, or Saturday, 1pm for all first round through quarterfinal games; OSAA to determine the day and time for semifinal and final games. NOTE: Except in those instances where the OSAA designates the day and time, games are to be played at times indicated above unless both schools involved agree otherwise and approval is obtained from the OSAA office. If schools cannot mutually agree on day and time, the OSAA will make the final decision.
4. OFFICIALS:
A. First Round: The host school is to obtain five certified game officials from the association that services its home games. OSAA will pay the officials through each commissioner. See OSAA Handbook, Executive Board Policy, Officials – Host School Responsibilities for additional information.
B. All Additional Rounds: Five certified game officials will be assigned and paid by OSAA through the commissioner. Officials have been instructed to contact the host school AD to reconfirm game times and locations prior to the day of the contest.
5. STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS ‐ HOME TEAM DESIGNATION (OSAA Handbook, Executive Board Policies) (Revised Fall 2018)
During all rounds of each OSAA State Championship bracket, the team with the better Adjusted Playoff Ranking (APR) shall be the designated home team.
6. SPONSOR INVITATION:
A. As we have done the past couple of years, the OSAA is asking HOST athletic directors to contact your LOCAL ONPOINT COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION manager and invite them to your Football playoff game each week as your guest. FIND YOUR LOCAL ONPOINT LOCATION: www.onpointcu.com/locations‐and‐atms.html
B. If they are able to come, we ask that you take a moment before the game or at halftime to introduce them and publicly acknowledge their support over the PA system. Something like “Please welcome Jane Doe of ONPOINT COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION and join us in thanking them for their continued support of the Oregon School Activities Association and state championship events such as this game.” If they are unable to attend, please thank them for their support.
C. Thank you for your cooperation with this request. Contact IAN FROST, 503.682.6722 x245, or at [email protected] if you have any questions.
7. PA SCRIPT: Please ensure that your announcer has a copy of the attached PA script and reads these announcements. Included is the OSAA’s required pre‐contest PA announcement, along with additional sportsmanship and sponsor announcements to be read throughout the contest.

8. PROGRAMS: The host school has the right to produce a roster sheet / game program through the quarterfinals. These may be handed out or sold by the host school.

9. TICKET BOOTH SIGNS: There are five signs attached, Ticket Prices, Pass Gate, OSAA Live Mobile App, OSAA Social Media and Spectator Conduct. Please ensure that these signs are posted at your gates prior to each state championship match.
10. ADMISSION:
A. Reserved Seating:
1) Only schools offering reserved seating for regular season games may sell reserved seats for playoff games. Schools cannot increase the price of reserved seats for the playoffs. Regardless of what the school charges, the OSAA must receive their regular ticket price of $8.
2) If schools have not had reserved seating during regular season play, they may not institute such a policy for playoffs.
B. Ticket Prices (Excluding Service Fees): Student is any child age 5 & up through a senior in high school.

C. Complimentary Tickets: Each school that participates in a championship game will receive the following Complimentary Tickets: 5A‐ 15 tickets; 4A‐ 12 tickets; 3A – 12 tickets; 2A –10 tickets; 1A – 6 tickets. The host school is to provide these tickets for all games through the quarterfinals.
D. Gate Lists: Gate lists in excess of the complimentary ticket allotments mentioned above shall not be used. Every person in attendance must have a ticket or a pass in order to enter.
E. Passes: ONLY the OSAA Gold Card, OSAA VIP pass, OSAA Media pass and OSAA Football Media pass, which will admit the bearer only with photo ID, are to be honored at any OSAA State Championship event. NO school, athletic district, officials’ association, etc., passes are to be accepted. See the Pass Gate Sign in this information.
11. STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SEATING: Schools are reminded that a state championship game is an OSAA event and not a home school’s game. Seating for all football state championship games is to be determined by the home field policy as established for all league contests with the following procedures required:
A. Representatives of the two schools must communicate prior to the game and provide for as equitable as possible seating arrangements for the visitor based on: (a) Home seating policy; and (b) Facility limitations.
B. There shall be no change in the host school’s regular season seating policy unless it is to increase the number seats available for the visitor.
C. If the two representatives are unable to agree on seating arrangements, an OSAA representative will assist the two parties in reaching an agreement.
D. It is recommended that the visitor’s seating have the visitor’s parents and students seated together. It is preferred that, when fair and possible, this seating be located behind the visiting team’s bench.
E. Neutral sites shall provide for equal and equitable seating. OSAA will determine seating for semifinals and finals.
12. STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS – ADOPTED BALL (OSAA Handbook, Executive Board Policies) (Fall 2010)
The OSAA shall require that the officially adopted ball for that sport be used in all state championship contests, first round through final sites.
A. State Championship Contests at Home Sites.
2) Football.
a) Procedure. Officials shall confirm that both teams use the officially adopted ball (Wilson Footballs). If either team uses balls that are not the officially adopted balls, the contest shall be played, and officials shall report the school or schools in violation to the OSAA.
b) Penalty. A school, which is found to have used a non‐adopted ball in an OSAA state championship contest, shall be subject to fines, forfeiture and/or other penalties as determined by the OSAA Executive Board.
B. State Championship Contests Administered by OSAA Staff. Officially adopted balls (Wilson Footballs) shall be provided by OSAA staff administering the contests.
G:\Tickets\Tournaments\Event Management Info\Football\5a4a3a2a1afbemi.docx Page 3 of 5
13. FIELD PHONES: Each school has the responsibility to provide field phones for their own use. If a phone problem arises during a contest, a school may be required to discontinue use of a phone(s) so that an equal number of phones are maintained. The OSAA and / or host school will not provide back‐up phones for use at any point during the game.
14. STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ‐ PRE‐CONTEST PUBLIC PRAYER (OSAA Handbook, Executive Board Policies) (Fall 2012)
All playoff contests beyond the regular season cutoff date are OSAA sponsored events. It has been legally established that the OSAA is a state actor, and is subject to the same requirements as a governmental agency with respect to compliance with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Under rulings of both Federal and State Courts, a pre‐contest public prayer at any OSAA sponsored event is a violation of both federal and state constitutions regardless of where the game is played and which schools are participating. Therefore, offering a pre‐contest public prayer over a public‐address system at any OSAA sponsored interscholastic event is prohibited.
15. STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS – SUPPORT GROUP POLICIES (OSAA Handbook, Executive Board Policies) (Revised Fall 2017)
Following are the support group policies as adopted by the Executive Board regarding state championships:
A. Admission. Members of support groups shall be given complimentary admission from game management for contests during which their school is participating. Members shall enter the facility in uniform as a group and must be accompanied by their coach/director for verification.
1) Cheerleading. The number of cheerleaders permitted is limited to members of the varsity cheer team for that sport season. Venue space, as determined by game management, may limit the number of cheerleaders able to cheer on the sideline. Squad size for routines performed prior to the contest, during timeouts and for halftime entertainment may exceed the venue sideline limit so long as the additional members return to the stands when the contest resumes.
B. Pep Band Expectations. The purpose of performances by pep bands at athletic events is to entertain, promote school spirit and support cheerleaders in providing positive crowd participation activities. All members of the pep band are expected to exhibit the highest standards of good sportsmanship.
1) Musical selections including rhythmic percussion cadences in support of cheerleaders may be performed only during the following times:
a) Prior to the game.
b) During time outs.
c) Between quarters or at halftime.
d) Following the game.
e) Exceptions:
(1) Rhythmic percussion cadences in support of cheerleaders may be performed during play at outdoor venues only.
(2) No musical selections may be performed during injury time outs.
2) Amplified instruments are permitted at basketball contests unless the State Championship Director determines that space availability or distance to an electrical outlet precludes its use. The State Championship Director has the authority to control the volume of any amplified instrument.
3) If two pep bands are playing at an athletic contest, the groups shall alternate performances and split the halftime. In football, the performance time after a touchdown or point after goes to the band representing the school that has scored regardless of which band performed last. The directors of the two groups shall meet prior to the contest to confirm how the time will be shared.
C. Halftime Entertainment. The following halftime procedures shall be utilized:
1) Basketball.
a) Schools participating in the Basketball State Championships will be given first choice to entertain during halftime intermission of all basketball games. Other schools will be considered in order of application received. It shall be understood that schools not participating in the state championships shall not bring a band.

i) Delaying the start of the second half shall be subject to reprimands and/or penalties by the Executive Board.

OSAA / OnPoint Community Credit Union Football State Championships Public Address Script
Good afternoon/evening ladies and gentlemen. We welcome you to today’s/tonight’s OSAA / OnPoint Community Credit Union Football State Championship playoff game presented by Pacific Office Automation. The Oregon School Activities Association is proud to partner with the participating schools in presenting this game between the visiting _________________________ and your_________________________________! INTRODUCTIONS Now let’s meet the starting lineups for this state championship playoff game. Visiting team offense or defense and coaches Home team offense or defense and coaches OFFICIALS The officials for this game are: Referee: __________________________________
Umpire: __________________________________ Head Linesman: __________________________________ Line Judge: __________________________________ Back Judge: __________________________________
NATIONAL ANTHEM Ladies and Gentlemen, we now ask that you please stand and remove your hats as we honor America with the playing our National Anthem. SPORTSMANSHIP (REQUIRED) Every student performing here today has had dreams of being a star in their own right. What they never dreamed of, is being ridiculed or threatened for how they look, where they came from, how they worship, or who they love. And yet this happens repeatedly at sporting events across our state. We are better than this. As athletes. As fans. As Oregonians. In sport, every participant must play by the same rules. Now, so does everyone in attendance at OSAA interscholastic events. Each of us is expected to encourage and contribute to an environment of SAFETY, TOLERANCE, ACCEPTANCE and RESPECT throughout the event. The OSAA calls it being a STAR. And if you can do it, consider yourself a STAR. If you can’t, you’ll find yourself on the outside looking in at this and potentially any future interscholastic events in Oregon. We all have a role to play in making events like this a success. So, whether you’re on the field or in the stands—play well, play hard, and play fair. Because Greatness…is Hateless.
