On the field
- If you, or someone near you on the field is injured or you think they might have been injured,
- Call a hold to stop all activity in the area,
- A marshal will then determine the proper course of action.
- If it is practical, and the safety of the injured person, responders and participants can be maintained, the activity can resume in other areas of the field.
- The safety of responders is a priority. They must wait until the marshal has stopped the activity and given the go-ahead, so that they can safely enter the field.
- In the event of an emergency, everyone must cooperate with personnel responding to the emergency and keep the area clear of would-be spectators.
- It is an extremely serious matter to delay the application of first aid when it is needed. Marshals who ignore injuries, or participants who intentionally interfere, may be subject to SCA sanctions.
