Article 1: Eligibility - Team Sportsmanship
Teams must maintain a "3.5" sportsmanship average during the regular season to be eligible for the playoffs. The grades for each regular season contest will be added together and divided by the total number of contests scheduled. This will equal the team's sportsmanship average.
Article 2: Rosters
All rosters will be frozen on the Monday before the last week of games of the regular season at 11:55pm Players may not be added to the team after that time. In order to be eligible to participate in the postseason, an individual must have legally signed in for one regular season contest.Article 3: Conflicts
Conflicts will be honored to the best of Scheduling's ability during tournament time only for semi-finals and finals; however, due to the unpredictable nature of tournament results, no guarantees can be made with respect to honoring a team's availability requests from the beginning of the season. If a scheduling conflict is seen by the captain, they should notify the Recreational Sports Department as soon as possible to try to find a possible solution.Article 4: Scheduling
Due to the high volume of games that must be played in a short amount of time, captains should check their online schedule after every completed contest to see if/when the next contest has been scheduled. It is the captain's responsibility to check their postseason schedule. An email will not be sent out after every game. The Scheduling staff will attempt to give teams 24 hours notice before their next game, but this is not guaranteed.Article 5: Maintaining Sportsmanship during the Postseason
Teams must achieve at minimum a "3.5" sportsmanship rating in all postseason contests in order to continue moving on through the bracket. If a team wins a postseason contest but does not receive a "4" or "3" sportsmanship rating they will automatically forfeit their game and their opponent will advance, assuming they received a rating of "4" or "3". If neither team achieves a "4" or "3" sportsmanship rating, neither team will advance. Teams are reminded that one yellow card automatically drops them down to a "2" sportsmanship rating and an ejection will automatically drop them down to a "0" sportsmanship rating.
