In order to protect the players and officials as well as maintain public order, it may be necessary to deploy stewards and/or police around the perimeter of the field of play. When doing so, the following guidelines must be considered:
- Any steward or police officer deployed around the field of play is likely to be recorded on television, and as such their conduct and appearance must be of the highest standard at all times.
- No firearms or “crowd control gas” shall be carried or used.
