Our head coach has had a chat with the varsity (that is, those going to the venue on Thursday and Friday) shortly before competition every year. This is one of the topics, because our team is rather huggy (being founded by Gixxy, could it be anything else?).
Another big point every year is like unto it. The rule is - we are family - don't let a stranger harass your brother or sister, sexually or otherwise.
