Pre-Game Preparation Set-up the Court Look For Safety Hazards (if found report them to the supervisor immediately) Make sure all equipment is present and in working order Remember that you are accountable for all the equipment on your field. Captain’s Meeting Do at least 5 minutes before game. Earlier if possible

Forfeits: 

Forfeits Game time is forfeit time, but….. One of the major goals of our program is to get as many of the scheduled games played as possible. --If we can avoid a forfeit, we want to.

Forfeit Procedures: 

Forfeit Procedures If one team is ready at game time and the other is not: 1. The team ready to play can choose to win the game by forfeit; or 2. The team can choose to grant their opponents a 10-minute grace period. If the required minimum number of players arrives within the 10-minutes, the game will be played and recorded as an official game. NO EXCEPTIONS ARE PERMITTED TO THE 10- MINUTE GRACE PERIOD. The length of the first period will be shortened according to the lateness of the new start time. If neither team has enough players to legally start a contest, a double forfeit will be called.

Protests: 

Protests Protests must be based on rule interpretations and player eligibility only. Never tell a team that they can’t protest a call. Protests are part of the game, and are a teams right to use. Don’t take a protest request personal by a team.

Protests: 

Protests If a call is protested: Get together with your crew and make a ruling on the protest. If a mistake was made, fix it. If captain is still not happy with a call: Call a supervisor over to help make a ruling on the call. If still not satisfied: Captain must file an official protest. If done record all important information. The time left on the clock, the score, who has the ball and where, how many time outs remaining, etc.

Player Injuries: 

Player Injuries No player may play with an open cut or bleeding Do not just ignore an injury Report injuries immediately to a Supervisor Assist the Supervisor as needed/requested in all first aid or emergency situations.

Sportsmanship Rating System: 

Sportsmanship Rating System One of the major goals of our program is to promote good sportsmanship. Each game you and the rest of your crew will rate each team on their sportsmanship in that game.

Individual Sportsmanship: 

Individual Sportsmanship It is the responsibility of the team and players to make sure the game atmosphere is friendly and fun to both staff and fellow participants. A yellow/red card will be displayed during contests to warn and/or eject individuals, teams or spectators. A yellow card is not required before a red card is displayed; and a red card is not required for a suspension to occur.

Individual Sportsmanship : 

Individual Sportsmanship YELLOW card infractions include, but are not limited to: - Verbal and non-verbal dissent towards officials - Taunting opponents or staff - Actions detrimental to the spirit of the game - Unnecessary contact with opponent The player receiving the yellow card must leave the game for one play, or until the next dead ball. If no substitute is available the team must play one player down.

Individual Sportsmanship: 

Individual Sportsmanship RED card infractions include, but are not limited to: - Excessive verbal and non-verbal dissent towards officials - Threats towards staff or opponents - Fighting - Second yellow offense on same player GET A SUPERVISOR INVOLVED IMMEDIATELY The player receiving the red card is ejected from the game Player may be substituted for if the team has subs Player must leave the playing area immediately and without incident If they do not their team will forfeit the game All players who are ejected from any intramural contest are suspended from all intramural play until they have met with the intramural coordinator and served any penalty they administer.

Team Sportsmanship Rating: 

Team Sportsmanship Rating Teams can receive three scores: Outstanding Acceptable Unacceptable The rating system is designed to rate teams, not individual conduct A team is responsible for the actions of the individual team members and spectators related to their team The designated game captain is responsible to calm difficult situations and to restrain troubled teammates

Ratings: 

Ratings Outstanding Teams act like “angels” No yellow or red cards Acceptable A Normal Game No red cards issued Team does not receive three (3) yellow cards

Ratings: 

Ratings Unacceptable Team/multiple players are out of control Blatant Rule Breaking (i.e. playing under an assumed name).
