CSIT WORLD SPORTS GAMES FAIR PLAY POLICY

Fair Play is very important to CSIT. It reflects the real spirit of sports and is actually close to the aims of CSIT.
The World Sports Games 2017 marked the official launch of the CSIT Fair Play – activities, which are implemented more detailed in the CSIT championships regulations of each sport. Besides the Green Card – visible in competitions and games – the Fair Play subject is present at hotels, sports venues, websites and brochures. Finally, Fair Play will get full attention at the closing ceremony, where single athletes and teams with the highest Fair Play actions – coefficient will be awarded.

WHAT IS FAIR PLAY?

Fair play is a complex concept that comprises and embodies a number of fundamental values that are not only integral to sport, but relevant in everyday life. By implementing the Fair Play Philosophy in CSIT and its sports events we strive to:

  • Fair competitions
  • Respect
  • Friendship
  • Team spirit
  • Equal opportunities
  • Fair access
  • Anti doping
  • Respect for written and unwritten rules, such as integrity, solidarity and tolerance

    This philosophy of Fair Play can be learnt and experienced on and off the sports area. Find further information in the CSIT Fair Play Policy and the CSIT Fair Play Brochure.
