Sportsmanship Rating
A part of the philosophy of the Intramural
Program is that good sportsmanship is vital to the conduct of every contest. In
order to encourage proper conduct before, during and after a scheduled contest,
the Department of Campus Recreation has developed a rating system. The rating
system is as follows:
In order for a team to qualify for the
post season playoffs they must have:
1. A "4.0" average sportsmanship rating
during the regular season.
2. A sufficient win/loss record.
Sportsmanship Rating will be based on the
following criteria:
1. A "5.0" will be awarded to a team which
demonstrates extremely good sportsmanship and maintains an attitude of complete
cooperation.
2. A "4.0" will be awarded to a team if
there are no incidents of poor sportsmanship.
3. A "3.0" will be awarded to a team:
When unsportsmanlike conduct is not
present in the game except for minor infractions. A team may receive this score
or lower depending on the sport if it receives:
a. A yellow card in soccer.
b. A technical foul in basketball.
c. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in
flag football, floor hockey or box lacrosse.
d. A verbal warning issued by a supervisor
in any sport.
4. A "2.0" will be awarded to a team:
a. When a player or coach is ejected for
abusive remarks.
b. If players, other than the captain,
persisit in questioning the officials or if any player repeatedly argues with an
official.
c. If spectators, clearly related to the
team, fail to cooperate with officials.
5. A "1.0" will be awarded to a team:
a. If a player or coach is ejected for
striking or shoving an official, opponent or spectator.
b. If a player(s) is (are) so antagonistic
to an official that the game cannot be played with proper order and control.
c. If a player(s) disregard(s) warnings of
unnecessary roughness.
d. A team that receives a "1.0" will be
dropped from the league and their captain must meet with the Intramural
Coordinator before they will be allowed to participate in Intramurals again.
Teams must adhere to the sportsmanship
regulations by obtaining a "4.0" average in the regular season to qualify for
the playoffs. If a teams sportsmanship average drops below a "4.0" during
playoff competition, the game will be automatically be forfeited and the other
team will be given the win. The Department of Campus Recreation reserves the
right to drop any team and/or individual from competition for sportsmanship
violations regardless of that team's sportmanship average.
Special Contest Situations:
1. Games which are not rescheduled due to
weather, facility problems etc... both teams will receive a No Rating (NR).
2. A team that receives an excused loss
will receive a No Rating (NR).
3. A team winning a contest by forfeit or
excused loss will receive a No Rating (NR).
4. If a game is cancelled before the start
of the second half both teams will receive a sportsmanship rating.
Any player that is ejected, for any
reason, will not be eligible to participate in his/her team's next scheduled
game. Based upon ejected players actions, the player(s) may have to go before
the Intramural Council to decide whether further disciplinary action should be
taken.
Consumption of alcoholic beverages by
coaches, active players, bench players, and spectators is prohibited. Violators
are subject to disciplinary action. Intramural participants may be ejected from
the game and suspended from further participation. All teams are responsible for
their spectators. Any unsportsmanlike conduct from spectators will be penalized
against the team they are "supporting".
