League-wide social media standards:

  • Understand and follow the rules of each particular social media site.
  • Do not post anything private, confidential or sensitive.
  • Do not post comments that attack a player, coach, or any other member of an organization from your own team or any other IBLeague team or the league itself.
  • Do not post information, photos, or other representations of sexual content, harassing language, inappropriate behavior or items that could be interpreted as demeaning or inflammatory.
  • Do not comment on IBL injuries, rosters, officiating or any other team information that should remain confidential.
  • No person associated with The IBL as a player, manager, coach, trainer, owner, umpire, scorekeeper or in any other capacity shall follow, endorse, support, message, retweet, reply or in any way acknowledge, endorse or engage in any social media that is detrimental or overtly critical of The IBL, its teams, players or people who are in any way connected to the league.

Anyone who violates the above policy or is involved in any other forms of social media which are, in the opinion of the Commissioner, problematic for The IBL, will also be subject to penalty at the discretion of the Commissioner.

Violation of the above policy will result in a severe suspension as well as a significant penalty for their respective teams.
