Common use of TEAM RULES Clause in Contracts

TEAM RULES. a. Each Club may maintain or establish internal team rules (“Team Rules”) with which its Players will comply at all times, whether on or off the court, provided that the Team Rules are in writing, are reasonable and do not violate the provisions hereof and/or the SPC. In case of breach by the Player, the Club may impose disciplinary sanctions on him, including but not limited to a warning, fine, penalty or suspension. The Club’s disciplinary actions will not be degrading and will not endanger or harm the Player. The Team Rules will be applied in a uniform and non-discriminatory manner. b. The Club’s Team Rules may not be based on the following concepts and therefore no Club may sanction a Player for, including but not limited to: • poor performance in a game or practice; • losing a game(s); • not attending the Club’s activities on a day off outside of this EFA; • not participating in any unofficial practice and/or activity outside of this EFA; • absence to receive a neutral second medical opinion in accordance with the Second Medical Opinion provisions; c. In the case that a Club intends to discipline and/or sanction a Player based on its Team Rules, the corresponding sanction must be stated therein. The Club must provide the Player with a written notification and an opportunity to be heard prior to issuing the sanction. The Club will inform EP of the outcome of any disciplinary proceeding initiated against the Player. d. Any established Team Rules will be provided to the Club’s Players as an appendix when signing the SPC. The final version of the Team Rules of the relevant season will be delivered to the Players no later than the first day of the training camp. e. A Player may file an appeal to the Euroleague Basketball Dispute Resolution Chamber challenging the Club’s decision to impose a disciplinary sanction on him for violating a provision of the Team Rules within 15 days of the written notification of the sanction being received by the Player.
