How it's used
Often refers specifically to the printed document outlining the rules and logistics for an event or membership. While it can mean a formal constitution, it is most frequently encountered by the public as the information sheet for sign-ups or competitions. It carries a formal tone despite being used in everyday administrative contexts.

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse this with 規則, but 規則 refers to general rules or guidelines, whereas 章程 is specifically a structured document or set of terms for a particular organization or event.
