2021-22 MSHSAA OFFICIAL HANDBOOK

MSHSAA HANDBOOK FORMAT:

Section Structure for By-Laws:

The Official Handbook organizes the by-laws into SIX SECTIONS following the Constitution. Activity information and athletic information is grouped for ease of access. Common by-laws are grouped to decrease duplication of information.

Section 1: School Essential By-Laws Section 2: Student Essential By-Laws Section 3: Athletics By-Laws Section 4: Activities By-Laws Section 5: Procedural By-Laws Section 6: Registered Officials

Decimal Numbering System:

The Official Handbook utilizes a decimal numbering system for the by-laws, which provides efficiency and flexibility. A particular by-law number signifies three things: the SECTION, the SUBSECTION, and the PART. For example, By-Law 3.15.5 can be found in Section 3 (Athletic Activity By-Laws), Subsection 15 (Sport Participation and Contact - During the Summer), Part 5 (General Requirements). Further subsections are denoted using, first, letters, then numbers, then parenthetical letters, etc. [for example: By-Law 3.13.2.a.2(c)]. Section and subsection headings assist the user in identifying the section and subsection content, thus facilitating ready access to pertinent by-laws.

Handbook Updates:

New wording within the Handbook is underlined, and areas of emphasis are in bold text. Diagrams are included for informational and reference purposes only and are not part of the by-laws they serve to summarize. Editorial and formatting changes are not underlined.
