| VI. |
FORFEITS,
DEFAULTS and RESCHEDULING |
|
| |
- The
Department of Athletics & Recreation strives to provide the
best possible Intramural program to the college community. When
a team fails to appear for a competition, it deprives their opponent
of the chance to participate in addition to taking the facilities
away from other users
- If
a team fails to provide the minimum number of players at "game
time," that team shall forfeit. Any team which
forfeits two (2) scheduled contests will be dropped from any further
competition in that sport. Team members that played for that
team may not transfer to another team
- If
any team knows in advance they cannot make a scheduled contest,
they must call - by noon of the contest day - the Intramural
Director (x4909), or the Angela Athletic Facility (x5548) front
desk worker if the Director is not available, and provide their
conflict information. Games defaulted by noon will be either
rescheduled or counted as a loss but will not be considered a forfeit
- Teams
may attempt to reschedule a contest they are unable to play due
to unusual circumstances. Before any arrangements are made
the team must check with the Intramural Director (x4909) to see
when facilities, officials or supervisors are available. Both
teams must agree to reschedule or the game shall be recorded as
a forfeit. ALL rescheduling arrangements must be made prior
to the time of the scheduled contest
|
| VII. |
POSTPONEMENTS |
|
| |
- In
the event of inclement weather, teams are responsible for checking
the status of their game. A decision will be made one hour
prior to the first scheduled game for that day. In some cases
a mass e-mail will be sent to all the captains, but do not count
on this method to be utilized each and every time
- When
possible, all cancelled games will be rescheduled. Rescheduled
games may not be changed. If a team cannot make the game at
the time it is rescheduled for, they must take a loss
|
| VIII. |
PLAYOFFS
or TOURNAMENTS |
|
| |
- The
number of teams that advance to the playoffs will be determined
once the number of entries is known. In most cases it will
be the top half of the teams that will advance. This information
will be made available near the end of the season
- If
there is a tie after the regular season has been completed, the
tie will be broken in the following manner:
- Head
to head competition - if the teams tied or split, then...
- Point
differential between the teams involved - if still tied, then...
- Point
differential for the whole season using games actually played
(forfeits/defaults excluded)
- Note:
in figuring final standings, a tie is better than a loss, and
a forfeit is worse than a loss
|
| IX. |
