advance to photographers.
Photographers shall not enter the dressing
room without approval of the coach involved.

handbook).

be permitted during play.
Authorized news media representatives, who
have identified themselves to the Local Manager

strobe lights mounted to fixed positions at the site
and/or 2) electronic strobe attachments mounted
to a camera.
Local Managers should confer with the
coaches of the teams participating in a contest
before giving permission to authorized news
media photographers to use strobe lighting
mounted to fixed positions.

officials and authorized new media photographers
before requiring photographers to cease use of
electronic strobe attachments mounted to a camera

interference with the conduct of the contest.

news photographers shall be permitted
access to the arena floor following the conclusion
of the competition to shoot jubilation photographs
of players, coaches, fans or other involved persons.
Photographers shall be instructed by Local
Managers when to retreat from the arena floor so
that trophy or award presentations may get under
