New procedure for field-level media bibs

Media on field level will be required to wear bibs on match days.

Bibs will be available on match days at the media entrance. Media will be required to leave an ID when loaning out a bib for the match and will get their ID back when the bib is returned.

Media who have their bibs from the previous year are asked to hold on to them for their own use for the upcoming season.

Agree

I have read the new procedure for field-level media bibs.

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND COURTESY CLAUSE

In applying for a Whitecaps FC media credential, it is expected that professional journalistic ethics and courtesy will be extended to players, staff, and other media members on site at all times.
Cheering or unruly outbursts in media areas, use of the credential to access restricted areas, requests for autographs and/or pictures and use of passes to escort non-holders to media areas are all examples of offending actions that will result in forfeiture of future access. Media credentials are non-transferable.

Whitecaps FC reserve the right to approve or deny a request for Media Accreditation in their sole discretion.

I agree to the Professional Ethics and Courtesy Clause
