Spirit of Competition
What is it?
Sport can teach a lot about life, such as setting goals, teamwork and
co-operation. But these positive values can only be learned when
the sport is enjoyable and played fairly. The foundation of the
intramural leagues will be based on the fair play principles of
integrity, fairness and respect.
Specifically, these principles are;
* Respect the rules.
* Respect the officials and their decisions.
* Respect your opponent.
* Maintain your self-control at all times.
Spirit of Competition
• During the season, captains rate the opponents and
referees rate both teams.
• A team's fair play will be measured through a rating
structure of +2, +1, 0, -1 and –2, called Spirit of
Competition ratings (S.O.C.). These scores are an
indication of how well a team has upheld the principles
of fair play in a game.
Spirit of Competition
Regular Season
• Teams must have an AVERAGE S.O.C rating of +1.0 or better at
the end of the regular season or they will be removed from the
league and not continue in the playoff season.
Playoffs
• Teams can only advance if they win the playoff game and earn a 0
or positive rating. If a team does win the playoff game and earns a
negative rating they will forfeit the game to the losing team. The
losing team can only advance if they receive a 0 or positive rating.
If the losing team earns a negative rating the next round of playoffs
becomes a bye.
Spirit of Competition
