Penalties of playing a tournament without CIPP are :

  1. Ban from Competitions: USA Rugby could impose a ban on the non-compliant club or player from participating in any official competitions or events sanctioned by USA Rugby. This could significantly impact the club's ability to compete and grow within the rugby community.

  2. Loss of Insurance Coverage: Failure to comply with membership and registration requirements could result in the loss of insurance coverage for players and teams. Without insurance, players would be at risk of shouldering the full financial burden of any injuries sustained during rugby activities.

  3. Legal Consequences: In extreme cases of non-compliance, there could be legal consequences such as fines or legal actions pursued by USA Rugby to enforce compliance with their regulations.

  4. Damage to Reputation: Non-compliance reflects poorly on the club or player's reputation within the rugby community. It could lead to loss of respect from peers, sponsors, and supporters, damaging the club's long-term prospects.
