Captains' Corner
Remember, game time is forfeit time.
Sportsmanship
The William and Mary Recreational Sports Department encourages sportsmanlike conduct from all participants. Unsportsmanlike or other unspecified yet inappropriate behavior in College facilities or occurring during Recreational Sports events will be handled in an expeditious manner within the guidelines set forth in the Sportsmanship/Punitive Action Policy.
Teams will be awarded a sportsmanship rating by officials after each game. The point scale used will be 1...5, with 1 being poor sportsmanship and 5 being exceptional sportsmanship. Any team having a rating of less than 3 for any 2 games of the regular season will be dropped from the league. Any team with less than a 3 average for the entire regular season will not advance into the playoffs. Any team not receiving at least a 3 rating for each game in the playoffs will not advance in that playoff.
Protests
- No protest will be considered which concerns the judgment of an official.
- To be valid, a protest of a rule interpretation must be verbally registered with an official at the time the incident occurs. The game will be stopped; the officials and team captains shall separate themselves from the other participants and determine the correct ruling.
- If either captain believes the ruling to be in error, he/she may request that the officials consult with the sports supervisor on duty. The supervisor will make a decision and the game will continue.
- If either captain believes the supervisor's ruling to be in error, he/she should inform the supervisor that he/she wishes to file a formal protest. At that time the protesting captain will complete a protest form with the supervisor. The game will continue under protest. (See Protest Policy for more information).
Roster Cards
All Roster Cards must be filled out completely by the first game of the regular season, or your team will not be able to participate. The front side is filled out by the team captain upon signing-up a team. This information includeds team name, contact numbers, and email among other things. On the backside of these cards is a designated space for the names of every team member. The Intramural Sports Staff must know who is participating in each game/match so that we can make sure that each player is eligible and is not playing on multiple teams (exception is a male participating on a men's team and a co-rec team, or a woman participating on a woman's team and a co-rec team). Having a team roster also allows us to determine how many students are participating in the program each year, and helps to provide general structure and organization to the Intramural program.
Rescheduling
If you need to reschedule a game/match, you must submit a request in writing with a legitimate reason to the Intramural office ([[intram]]) at least 48 hours in advance. Once you receive a response with possible reschedule dates, it is up to you to contact the opposing team captain and agree on a date and time. Finally, you must contact the Intramural Office again to notify the Assistant Director of the agreed upon reschedule date.
