Code of Conduct

Code of participation

1. SMG advisors must be responsible adults 18 years of age or older. In no case may they be a matriculated student in grades K-12.

2. SMG advisors will ensure that every participant on their team(s) has read and understands the SMG Rules and the Code of Participation.

3. Teams that do not comply with the SMG Code of Participation will be removed from the portfolio rankings.

4. The authority to remove a team from the rankings lies solely with the team's SMG coordinator organization.

5. Each team is responsible for any opening or closing transactions entered into its portfolio.

6. Teams may not enter transactions into portfolios other than their own. (Please note that when a team asserts that a transaction was entered by a non-member of that team, the team will nevertheless be ranked based on their portfolio's total equity, which will include the challenged transaction.)

7. Only transactions stored on the SMG database will be recognized for purposes of evaluating portfolio total equity.

8. FIE will be responsible for the accuracy of the market data. It is the responsibility of teams to report any major price discrepancies found in their portfolios. Failure to do so may result in disqualification from the competition. In extreme cases of continued disregard for this rule, FIE reserves the right to delete teams from the game. If a team believes a stock price or other information is incorrect, the team advisor shall notify their Coordinator by email.

9. In the event of an error on the part of FIE and/or coordinator organization(s), their liability to a participant shall be limited to the refund of registration or other fees paid.
