See Member Services for a [{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/list-suspensions.pl list of suspended players].

According to our [[Code of Conduct]], players may be ejected from a [[tournament]] by a tournament [[director]], and a subsequent disciplinary process by the [[Tournament Committee]] may result in a longer suspension, subject to appeal as described in the Code.

The Code of Conduct also says that players may be ejected and/or banned from play at a specific [[club]] by a club director, which may result in a disciplinary process by the [[Club/Director Committee]] and a general suspension, subject to appeal as described in the Code.

Players can also be suspended as a result of an [[Incident report |incident report]] filed with the [[Tournament Committee]] or [[Club/Director Committee]] and the subsequent disciplinary process. The suspension is subject to appeal as described in the Code.

When it comes to the attention of the [[Executive Committee]] that a player has been charged with a serious crime, they are banned from participating in NASPA activities indefinitely, but may appeal this ban to the [[Advisory Board]] if charges are dismissed. If convicted, they may appeal their ban to the [[Advisory Board]] after they have served any sentence.

In each case, the circumstances and duration of the suspension will be briefly described [{{SERVER}}/cgi-bin/list-suspensions.pl at this link] accessible by directors, the Tournament and Club/Director Committees, and the Advisory Board. The suspensions are not made public to avoid further reputational damage to players who have served their suspensions.
