What should a team member do to avoid performing with non-permanent demerits?

To maintain good standing within the team and avoid non-permanent demerits, a team member should prioritize clearing all non-permanent demerits. This proactive approach helps ensure that the member adheres to the team’s rules and expectations, which are often outlined in the constitution or guidelines.

Clearing non-permanent demerits typically involves taking corrective actions or fulfilling specific requirements set by the team’s leadership. By addressing any issues that led to the demerits, the member demonstrates accountability and commitment to the team’s values, thereby fostering a positive environment and enhancing team cohesion. This avoidance of non-permanent demerits is critical for continued participation and a favorable reputation within the team.

Other options, like asking for exceptions or skipping practice, do not effectively resolve the issue of non-permanent demerits and may even exacerbate the situation. Informing the director could be part of the communication process but does not directly lead to resolving the problem of accumulating demerits. The best course of action remains actively seeking to clear any existing non-permanent demerits to maintain good standing in the team.
