36.1.
Rules of conduct
36.1.1.

The proper conduct of the game demands the full and loyal cooperation of the players, coaches, assistant coaches, substitutes, excluded players and accom-panying delegation members with the referees, table officials and commissioner, if present.

36.1.2.

Each team shall do its best to secure victory, but this must be done in the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play.

36.1.3.

Any deliberate or repeated non-cooperation or non-compliance with the spirit and intent of this rule shall be considered as a technical foul.

36.1.4.

The referees may prevent technical fouls by giving warnings or even overlooking minor infractions which are obviously unintentional and have no direct effect upon the game, unless there is repetition of the same infraction after the warning.

36.1.5.

If an infraction is recognised after the ball becomes live, the game shall be stopped and a technical foul charged. The penalty shall be administered as if the technical foul had occurred at the time it is charged. Whatever occurred during the interval between the infraction and the game being stopped shall remain valid.
