TEAM CAPTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES AND TIPS The success of the Intramural Sports Program depends on the leadership of the Team Captain, since the program could not function without an individual to organize interested participants into teams. The team captain has an extremely important role as the liaison between the Intramural Staff and the members of a team. Communication is a key success factor. The Team Captain must remain in contact, throughout the season, with the Intramural Staff. The Team Captain must make sure of the correct time and date each event takes place and inform the team/organization of the policies and procedures of the Intramural Sports Program. Please follow the list below to make sure you have a successful time while playing intramurals: 1. Team members will be added by the captain by 12pm the day of the first scheduled game at the Intramural Desk. 2. Attend MANDATORY Team Captain’s Meetings if one is scheduled for that sport. a) At the meetings, we will discuss: 
Rules specific to that intramural sport 
Intramural policies and procedures 
League changes 
Schedules, etc… b) If the captain cannot attend, they must find a substitute from their team. The substitute is responsible for conveying the vital information to the Team Captain. c)
If a team is not represented at the entire Captain’s Meeting, the team captains will be required to pay a $10 fee to remain in the league. If the fee is not paid by 4pm the day of their first game then they will automatically be dropped from the league. 3. If there is no Captains Meeting, an email will be sent informing the captain about rules and procedures for the league. 4. To enter people on your roster, please see the ‘Roster Management’ section. Team captain’s have till 4pm the day of their scheduled game to make changes to their roster (Saturday by 12pm for Sunday games). This only applies to paying teams. Sponsored teams have till 12pm the day of their first scheduled game to make changes to their roster (Saturday by 12pm for Sunday games). Sponsored team rosters are frozen after your first season game. 5. Please make sure the appropriate people are on the roster before playoffs. Only the people on the roster are able to participate in playoff games. 6. The team captain must also accept responsibility for the actions of all team members and supporters and maintain a cooperative attitude with all intramural officials and supervisors. Ten Captain’s Tips 1. Know the policies and procedures of the intramural program so you, and your team, do not get surprised at your first game or when playoffs come around. 2. You or someone from your team must attend the MANDATORY Captain’s Meeting. This is a perfect place for you to ask questions, get help with problems with your roster, and get your official schedule. If you or someone from your team does not attend for any reason, the team captains will be required to pay a $10 fee to remain in the league. If the fee is not paid by 4pm the day of their first game then they will automatically be dropped from the league. 3. Understand the Team Sportsmanship Policy (any UNACCEPTABLE must meet with the Advisory Board to be eligible for playoffs) and Ejection Policy (the ejected player must meet with the Intramural Advisory Board before they can play). 4. Keep a line of open communication with the Intramural Program. (i.e. give correct phone number and email address). 3

All teams who have acceptable sportsmanship in the regular season will advance to the playoff tournament. Any team who has incurred a forfeit will need to pay their forfeit fee in order to advance to playoffs. Placement in brackets will be considered by record, point differential, points scored against, points scored, and coin flip. During playoffs, in the competitive level only, the champion team in each sport league (Greek, Res Hall, Independent, Academic College) will compete for an All-­‐University Championship, if and only if, the number of teams permits playoffs to be seeded by Sport League. The Intramural Program has the right to add or omit any team from the playoffs even if the team does or does not meet the playoff qualifications. Forfeits The team captain has the responsibility of notifying all team members of the day/date/time and location of all scheduled events. Forfeits are to be avoided at all costs. Forfeits are detrimental to the program and to a team’s participants. The scheduling of each Intramural game/activity/event requires making arrangement for the facility, the personnel, and the equipment as well as the participants. The following procedures will be observed with regard to forfeits: 1) If a team does not have the minimum number of players to start the game at the scheduled game time, they will then be given 10 minutes to obtain the correct number before the game is declared a forfeit. Example: if your game is at 6pm and your team is not ready to play, you will be given until 6:10pm. 2) If, at any time during the 10-­‐minute forfeit period, the team reaches the minimum number of players needed, they will be allowed to play, but the late team will lose all protest and appeals privileges and lose all choice of options to start the game. The game time will also be reduced by the number of minutes late for the game. 3) If the team does not have the minimum number of players after the 10-­‐minute extension, the captain of the prepared team will be given two options: take the win by default or give the opposing team an additional 5 minutes to arrive. If the captain of the prepared team chooses to take the win by default, the decision may not be changed. If the captain of the prepared team decides to play the game, the captain of the prepared team must accept the results of the game. 4) If, at any time during the additional 5 minutes, the team reaches the minimum number of players needed, they will be allowed to play, but the late team will lose all protest and appeals privileges and lose all choice of options to start the game. The game time will also be reduced by the number of minutes late for the game. 5) If after the additional 5 minutes the team is still not ready to play then the game shall be ruled a forfeit. 6) If a team forfeits, the team captain will be required to pay a $20 forfeit fee prior to their next scheduled game. If the fee is not paid by 4pm the night of the next scheduled game, the team will be dropped from the league. 7) If a team forfeits a second time, then the team will be dropped from the league. Protests Protests may be filed for two reasons: 1) The misapplication of a playing rule. NOTE: An official’s judgment cannot be protested. 2) Participant Eligibility 6
Protest will be handled in the following manner: 1) Must be brought to the attention of the official or IM Supervisor during the event. These questions will be handled on the field by the officials. The officials may meet with the IM Supervisor on duty to determine the ruling. Once this decision has been made, the game will proceed under the given ruling. 2) If the team is not satisfied with this ruling, the team captain must notify the head official and IM Supervisor that the game is being played “under protest”. This indicates the team wishes to appeal the decision to the Intramural Professional Staff. 3) At the time of protest, the official must summon the supervisor to the field/court and must write up a Protest Report. This report will include time remaining in the game, score, and interpretation of the protest. If a Protest Report is not filled out, the protest consideration cannot be granted. 4) The following business day, the team captain must submit in letter-­‐form a protest complaint and $20 to the Intramural Desk. 5) The fee will be returned if the protest is upheld. The fee, however, will be forfeited if the protest is denied. NOTE: The procedure, as stated above, must be adhered to in order for a protest to be valid. Injuries Participation in Intramurals is on a voluntary basis. All IM Participants play at their own risk. The University is not responsible for injuries sustained while participating in any of the programs. It is highly recommended that each person obtain their own health/accident insurance. Medical or ambulance expenses incurred by a participant will not be paid by Arizona State University. Student Health Insurance is available from the Student Health Center. For more information, contact Student Health at 965-­‐3346. Uniforms and Attire All recommendations and requirements of proper attire are for the safety of the participants, and the enhancement of the games. Jewelry must be removed. Footwear 
ONLY gym shoes allowed in the gyms. 
All participants must wear athletic type shoes. 
No open-­‐toed sandals; no bare feet, no socks. 
Cleats must have all-­‐rubber soles. Absolutely no metal cleats. Jerseys 
Team may wear their own created uniform if it clearly differentiates them from their opponent. 
Colored jerseys will be provided for all teams who do not have their own uniform. Awards Championship T-­‐Shirts •
Intramural Championship T-­‐shirts will be given as awards for the Champions in every intramural activity offered throughout the academic school year. The t-­‐shirts will be handed out at the site the night of the championship contest. A team will only receive t-­‐shirts for those players who are listed on the official playoff roster. SCHEDULING CONFLICTS The Intramural Program is willing to cooperate when extraordinary circumstances necessitate an occasional rescheduling or canceling of a game. However, due to the increasing number of entries and limited playing spaces, reschedules must be kept to a minimum. There are two ways to avoid forfeits. If it is absolutely necessary to cancel a scheduled intramural game, a team can: 1. Notify the Intramural Office (M-­‐Th 10:00am-­‐4:00pm and F 10:00am-­‐2:00pm), by noon of the day of their scheduled game. A team that cancels a game will remain in the league; however, a loss (DEFAULT) will be recorded. NOTE: The office must be notified by 2pm Friday for games scheduled Saturday or Sunday. 2. Rescheduling may be made only by agreement of both teams and the Intramural Office, and if there is time convenient to all three parties for the rescheduling. If all three parties cannot agree on a new time, the originally scheduled time for the contest will stand. Arrangements must be made at least two working days (48 hours) in advance of the originally scheduled game time. TEAM SPORTSMANSHIP RATING “Where Class takes the Field” 7
The purpose of the Intramural Sports Program is to provide participants with positive recreational sport activities in a safe and supportive environment. Each participant is encouraged to play to the best of his or her ability to achieve success. A “win-­‐at-­‐all-­‐
costs” attitude, however, is strongly discouraged. The emphasis in intramural sports is placed on playing the game within the spirit of the rules and with respect for those participating. These guidelines should assist teams in reinforcing a sportsmanlike atmosphere: EXPECTED CONDUCT o Participants and spectators are expected to behave in a cooperative, positive manner, which contributes to the philosophy of friendly competition. o Teams are responsible for the conduct of members and spectators before, during, and after any Intramural competition. o It is the responsibility of each team to cooperate in a respectful pleasant manner to all Intramural Sports Staff (this includes officials). o It is the responsibility of each team to control both team members and spectators. MISCONDUCT (Unsportsmanlike) o Team captains and coaches are responsible for the conduct of their players, and therefore are subject to the same disciplinary actions as their players. o In cases where the responsible team member cannot be identified, the team captain will be assessed the appropriate sanctions. o Vulgar, obscene, abusive, derogatory, intimidating and demeaning comments or gestures will NOT be tolerated. Such comments and gestures create a hostile environment, generate ill will, place unnecessary pressure on players, and contribute to a negative Intramural Sports experience. o All acts of physical aggression including fighting, pushing, shoving, kicking or any other attempt to injure another person, are totally unacceptable responses in any area of Intramural Sports. o Any comments, signs, jokes, remarks, or gestures intended to threaten or intimidate any other person are forms of verbal aggression, which are equally inappropriate and will be disciplined accordingly. o The consumption or possession (or the scent is detected on your person) of any type of alcoholic beverage before, during, or after a game is not allowed. o The misconduct of one team member can cause a team to be disqualified from a league. SEPCTATORS o The role of spectators is to provide support and encouragement, which will be beneficial to the participants, the game and the program. Spectators must remain in designated areas and not encroach on the playing area. o Spectators violating these guidelines or exhibiting Unsportsmanlike conduct will be asked to leave and may be assessed additional sanctions with Student Judicial Affairs. o Team captains or teams can be penalized for their actions of their spectators. TEAM SPORTMANSHIP RATING 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. IM officials and/or supervisors shall determine acceptable and unacceptable team ratings. The Intramural Advisory Committee will determine season ending ratings. They also reserve the right to review any rating given to a team. The four different team ratings are: Outstanding Acceptable Unacceptable Season Ending OUSTANDING SPORTSMANSHIP RATING Team members: •
Demonstrate a willingness to contribute to a sportsmanlike atmosphere, •
Show control over their own actions and omissions •
Follow all game rules in both spirit and intent •
Have no unsportsmanlike penalties. 8
ACCEPTABLE SPORTSMANSHIP RATING •
Team members cooperate with and demonstrate good sportsmanship toward team members, spectators, and IM staff •
Team captain exhibits control over their team and spectators, converses reasonably and rationally with officials about rule interpretations/calls and cooperates by providing information requested by any intramural official/staff •
Team members accept judgment decisions made by the officials during the contest •
No player/spectator ejections occur before, during or after the intramural contest •
Respect shown for intramural facilities and equipment UNACCEPTABLE SPORTSMANSHIP RATING •
Player/spectator ejections occur before, during, or after the intramural contest •
Technical fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct and/or multiple unsportsmanlike penalties given •
Participants/spectators complain about official’s decisions and/or show dissension. Complaints may be voiced verbally or non-­‐verbally •
Arguing between opposing teams/spectators may also lead to an unacceptable rating •
Team captain does not control their team and spectators, converses in a dissenting manner with officials about rule interpretations/calls and does not cooperate or provide information requested by any intramural official/staff •
Team members do not meet eligibility requirements for participation •
Any participant who plays under an assumed name •
Public indecency or obscenity. •
Individuals/teams playing after the consumption or suspicion of consumption of alcohol/drugs •
Verbal or physical abuse AND/OR the THREAT OF, by participants/spectators in the form of fighting, baiting, and/or wrestling with an opponent before, during, or after an intramural contest •
Any threatening behavior (verbal and/or non-­‐verbal) towards an intramural employee before during or after an intramural contest •
Damage/destruction of facilities/equipment •
Any other violations of ASU policies and procedures that violate the Student Code of Conduct CONSEQUENCES FOR UNACCEPTABLE RATINGS •
The team is suspended from playoff competition until the captain meets with the Intramural Advisory Committee. The captain shall be held responsible to initiate the meeting in a timely manner to ensure availability of the committee. •
Regardless of the length of the league, TWO UNACCEPTABLE ratings will equal a season ending rating and the team will automatically be dropped from any further competition •
If necessary, a Student Judicial complaint will be filled out on teams/participants who violate the Student Code of Conduct APPEAL OF A TEAM SPORTSMANSHIP RATING •
Only a season ending rating can be appealed by the captain of the team. •
A written appeal must be filed within 48 hours of the rating with $20 dollars attached to the paper. If upheld, the $20 will be returned to the captain. If the appeal is not granted, then the $20 will go to the Intramural Program. •
During the appeal process, the burden of proof shifts from the Intramural Program to the Team Captain. IT IS NOT A HEARING. •
The process is a review of the record of the incident(s) and reasons for the season ending behavior. Teams will remain dropped from any further competition during the appeal process. Acceptable reasons for an appeal are; new information concerning the contest becomes available, and/or the sanction is too severe for the offense. TEAM CONDUCT RESULTING IN A FORFEIT •
In addition to the team sportsmanship rating system, the following team behavior will result in a game being immediately stopped and FORFEITED (regardless of score or time remaining): o
Excessive technical fouls and/or unsportsmanlike fouls o
Failure of ejected participant(s) and/or spectator(s) to leave the vicinity within the allotted five minutes or returning to the vicinity during or after the game. A player cannot return for the second game when back to back games are scheduled o
The team is confirmed to be using an ineligible player o
Any player(s) and/or spectator(s) other than the designated game captain, leaving the team area/bench to join in on a situation in the game. A person’s intentions are irrelevant. o
Failure of a captain or team to provide required information to the Intramural Program. 9
o
Any inappropriate behavior following the forfeiting of a game could lead to a season ending rating. Serious on-­‐site situations will also result in initiating involvement of the Campus Police and the referral to Student Judicial Affairs. INDIVIDUAL PLAYER CONDUCT When unsportsmanlike conduct is demonstrated by an individual, it is the practice of intramural sports to remove the individual from the environment (ejection). Ejections are intended to return the playing environment to conditions consistent with the philosophy discussed above. EJECTION POLICY OF AN INDIVIDUAL An ejection carries a MANDATORY SUSPENSION from all intramural activities in any capacity. Participants may apply for reinstatement the next business day by contacting the Intramural Advisory Committee and setting up an appointment. Any player/spectator/coach ejected from a playing contest must: •
Leave the facility/field (this means out of sight and out of earshot) in a timely manner. Failure to do so may result in a forfeit win for the opposing team. •
Shall be automatically suspended. To be reinstated, the ejected participant must come in and speak with the Intramural Advisory Board before the ejected participant can play in their next game. •
Cannot play for any other team they are currently on (CoRec, other Res. Hall, Independent, Academic College or Greek team). •
Any participant or spectator who physically contacts an opponent during a display of anger in an intramural contest will be automatically suspended from any further intramural competition. Additional restrictions may be imposed. •
Agree to probation terms for the rest of that sport season and possibly semester/school year. •
Cannot participate in extramural events. •
If necessary, further action will be handled by the Judicial Office of Student Affairs. MISCONDUCT BY INTRAMURAL STAFF When participants experience displays of conduct by Intramural Sports employees that are inconsistent with the philosophy stated above, the following procedure should be followed. 1. Contact Intramural Sports Desk the next business day to formally file a complaint. 2. Fill out an incident report form detailing the allegation. 3.
