Spirit
Points are awarded on a scale from 0-5. When reporting scores, the captain
must indicate the number of spirit points they would like to award to
the other team. If a captain fails to call in the score, the other team
will automatically receive a rating of 5. Spirit points account for 25%
of the overall standings and the game results will account for 75%.
(Please note that if you are trying to calculate your overall score, you
cannot simply take 25% of your raw spirit point score - you must first
divide your total spirit point score by 2.5 in order to be dealing with
the same base number as your game points). Teams
that play by the rules, get to games on time and play with good sportsmanship
will flourish!
The Spirit
Point decision is one that should be made amongst your teammates. As a
team, you have the right to award any number of points from 0-5 for any
reason. The guidelines set out below are meant to help you with this decision.
If you decide to award a spirit score lower than 3.0, your spirit score
must be accompanied with a valid reason.
If a team defaults their game,
they automatically lose their right to award spirit points to the team
that they defaulted against. The team that was defaulted upon
automatically receives a "5" for their spirit score. Teams
that are defaulted against can award the defaulting team any value that
they want.
*Remember: teams should
automatically be giving other teams a 5 for spirit points and then
deducting marks for anything negative that occurred in the game*
