⚖️ Guidance for Club Representatives on the P&D Tribunal Panel

1. Understand Your Role

• You are not there to defend or prosecute.

• Your responsibility is to help assess facts fairly and uphold SMCA standards.

• Maintain neutrality at all times.

2. Prepare Before the Hearing

• Review the incident report and any supporting documents in advance.

• Familiarize yourself with the SMCA Code of Conduct and relevant by-laws.

• Clarify the level of offence (Level 1, 2, or 3) and typical penalties.

3. During the Hearing

• Listen actively and respectfully to all parties — including the reported player, umpire, witnesses, and advocates.

• Ask clear, relevant questions to clarify facts or inconsistencies.

• Avoid emotional reactions or personal opinions; focus strictly on conduct and evidence.

4. Deliberation and Decision-Making

• Discuss the facts with fellow panel members, including SMCA Executive representatives.

• Consider precedent, intent, impact, and player history.

• Agree on a fair and proportionate outcome — such as suspension, fine, or warning.

5. Confidentiality and Conduct

• Keep all tribunal matters confidential outside the panel.

• Do not discuss cases with club members or on social media.

• Represent your club with professionalism and integrity.

6. Post-Hearing Follow-Up

• Ensure the decision is documented and signed appropriately.

• If rostered again, reflect on prior hearings to improve process and consistency.
