10. Region IV Prices will be charged at only Varsity games, including non-Region games (excluding endowment and playoff games where state prices are charged).

13. Scouting is to be done from the spectator bleachers.
14. Coaches shall communicate with the other Region schools/coaches during the season:
a. Each Region School is expected to Exchange Two Game Films (DVD) in preparation for their Varsity games. Scouts/Coaches from the visiting school for next week’s game will bring the tapes of their two previous games for exchange (Orem Center Street Burger King Saturday, 8:00 a.m. default exchange). These games should be taped on separate tapes. The visiting team at the Varsity game will initiate the return of tapes. Videos will include filming when huddle breaks, all plays with a pre-snap alignment at wide angle and still shots of the scoreboard by quarter and after each scoring play. Teams will exchange films recorded by adult filmers. It is not ethical to edit films or film a team when scouting. The same extension of courtesy will be given visiting filmers as to home filmers. Provisions will be extended to “spotters” for both teams. All post-season film exchanges will be at the discretion of the individual coaches.
b. Each coach will send Schedules and Team Rosters to all Region schools by Friday, August 31, 2007. The roster shall contain the name, grade level, height, weight and number of each athlete.
