The following guidelines will be followed by Area Representatives (hereafter Rep) in case of Team Member misconduct (hereafter Member). No suspensions of a Member should occur without approval from at least two other Reps. All future consequences should be given to the offending player to make them aware of what is coming if they continue to be a problem.
Minor Infractions:
Including but not limited to: Improper posting on Team Trilogy Members page, excessive emails to Reps or other players, "888" at a tournament (this is an automatic deduction of points), and similar annoying but minor infractions.

2.Second warning and reminder of possible future consequences.
3.Loss of 25 Trilogy competition points.
4.Ineligible for competition points for four (4) weeks.
5.Six (6) months probation. Member is ineligible for Trilogy competition points during probation.

■The Rep present will email the regional rep, notifying them of the issue and including the screenshot.
■The Member will be subject to suspension of team points for up to four (4) weeks, depending on the seriousness of the post(s).
■The Member will receive a warning that similar issues may result in a six (6) month suspension from the team.
2.In the case of infractions that occur outside of Social Media (ie. on the course, or at a tournament);
■The Rep will email the other Reps, notifying them of the issue.
■The Member will be subject to suspension of team points for up to four (4) weeks, depending on the seriousness of the infraction.
■The Member will receive a warning that similar issues may result in a six (6) month suspension from the team.
3.Any subsequent Moderate Infraction, whether on or off Social Media, will be reviewed by all of the Reps, and consensus will be made regarding Member suspension;
■At a minimum, the Member is not suspended but will sacrifice all Team competition points earned to date.
■The maximum penalty for a subsequent Moderate Infraction is a six (6) month probation from the Team.
4.In any case of continued Moderate Infractions;
■If during a probation period: Online infractions are immediately removed by a Rep. The Member is suspended from the Team.
■If after a probation period: The Member receives twelve (12) months probation and is ineligible for Team competition points for the remainder of the season.
■Reps may suspend a Member for continued Moderate Infractions if a unanimous consensus is reached.

1.In the case of infractions that occur in Social Media, the first Rep available will take a screenshot and immediately remove the post.
■The Member will automatically be ineligible from Team competition points.
■The Member will be contacted by a Rep to discuss the situation.
■After consultation, the Reps will decide on the applicable penalty, which may involve, but is not limited to, probation or suspension.
2.Any subsequent Serious Infraction by a Member will result in automatic suspension from the Team for minimum of six (6) months.
Disclaimers:
The Reps, as a group, reserve the right to bypass the protocol listed above and suspend a Member if they unanimously determine that the Member has committed multiple infractions to intentionally affect the team in a negative manner.
