Sportsmanship

Good sportsmanship is expected and required by all participants, spectators, and employees.  Intramurals are offered as an entertaining recreational activity for the campus to enjoy.  Unfortunately, some teams and individuals lose sight of the original purpose of recreation and act inappropriately as well as unsportsmanlike.  RECentral Officials have the right to end a game due to misconduct.  Any type of infraction will be considered reason for displacement from intramurals and possible suspension from all recreational opportunities offered by RECentral.  Good sportsmanship will be noticed and rewarded.

 

Acts of unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Individuals found in violation of this rule/code of conduct may be subject to additional punishment after meeting with the Assistant Recreation Director. Individuals will NOT be able to participate in ANY RECentral sport activities until the meeting has taken place.

 

No player or team shall:

1.      Use foul or derogatory language, threaten, or verbally abuse any other participant or intramural employee before, during or after the game.

4.      Intentionally strike, push or trip another person. Fighting is prohibited

5.      Mistreat the facility, equipment, or supplies.

Warning/Ejection:

A warning/ejection system will be used to promote positive sportsmanship.  Individuals may be issued a technical foul for unsportsmanlike behavior in basketball. A player will be issued a minute penalty in floor hockey.  A second technical foul will result in an ejection.  Ejections may be issued without warnings in specific situations, including those involved with fighting.

Warning-unsportsmanlike Technical Foul

Ejection- 2nd Unsportsmanlike Technical Foul

Game Forfeit- 3rd Unsportsmanlike Technical Foul on one team

·         Any player receiving an ejection must meet with the Assistant Recreation Director before participating in the next Intramural contest.

·         Team captains are responsible for the conduct of their players, sidelines, and spectators.

·         Fighting is defined as a participant intentionally striking, pushing, slapping, punching, elbowing, tackling or committing any other malicious act towards another person.  Participants who fight will be ejected immediately and suspended from all further participation until the outcome of a disciplinary action meeting with the Intramural Staff.

Policies and Procedures

Protests

No Protests.

 

Forfeits

In all sports, if an individual/team fails to appear or fails to have the required number of players at the scheduled game time, the opposing player/team who is present will have the following options:

1.       Take the win by forfeit at that time. No contest will be played.

2.      Choose to wait until opponent arrives to compete.  The official game clock will start running as scheduled.  The game will commence once the opponents arrive with whatever game time is remaining on the clock.  The waiting team will be giving a scoring advantage.  If the opposing team is not ready to play 10 minutes after the scheduled game time, a forfeit win will be declared for the waiting team.  Should the opposing team arrive before the 10 minute time limit, and should the team entitled to the forfeit agree to play, then the contest shall be played.  The time lost shall not be made up, and the team that agreed to play cannot rescind their decision.

If a team forfeits two games or matches in any one activity, that team shall be removed from the remainder of the season schedule and is not eligible for playoffs.

 

Scheduling

Due to the lack of space and time RECentral has to operate, all schedules, when made, are final.  Requests for preferred game times and dates will be accepted but not guaranteed.  We will try to accommodate requests whenever possible. Teams cannot postpone or cancel games by agreement.  All schedule changes must be approved by the Assistant Recreation Director.  All changes will be posted on the intramural boards as well as on the RECentral website.  Captains, be sure to check for updates frequently.

 

Rescheduling

Team Captain’s can request a schedule change to avoid a forfeit of a contest.  Submitting a request for a schedule change does NOT guarantee that it will happen.  It will depend on field/court availability and staffing.

 

Postpones/Inclement Weather

Administrative postponements or cancellations occur when the weather or other uncontrollable factors make postponing games necessary. If the weather is questionable, call RECentral at (860)-832-3732 or check the RECentral website. Games will be scheduled at a later date if possible, if not both teams will be credited with a win.

 

Equipment

Most equipment necessary for RECentral will be provided by the department.  Personal equipment can only be used if it meets approval of RECentral Staff.  All outside equipment must be checked before each game.

 

Apparel

All participants must wear athletic attire including shoes that cover the foot completely.  Sandals, boots, open toe shoes, and jeans are not allowed to be worn.  No jewelry may be worn during competition of any kind (rings, earrings, ropes, etc.) All players must have a number on their T-shirt or jersey.  If no number is visible then a pinnie/jersey will be provided and must be worn through the duration of the game. 

 

Code of Conduct

Many infractions that occur during games are either accidental or minor, and at times are unavoidable.  However, there are major infractions that go against the ideals of sportsmanship and jeopardize the legitimacy of RECentral’s mission of excellence.   Major infractions can lead up to suspension of individuals and teams from all RECentral events.

- A participant who displays poor sportsmanship, especially towards an official, the other team, or their own team, will be immediately disqualified from the present contest.

- Any participant engaging in offensive language towards other participants, officials, spectators, etc., will immediately be disqualified from the present contest.

- Any participant who endangers the welfare of another person will be suspended from that specific program immediately and their next two scheduled contests.

- Any individual who flagrantly endangers the welfare of another person will be disqualified immediately and suspended from RECentral programs for the remainder of the year.

- In the case of any form of fighting, the CCSU Police Department will be called. In addition, all persons involved will immediately be disqualified from all RECentral programs for the year.

 

 

Activity Rules

 

Sport Rules

Each RECentral activity has its own set of rules. A handout of all rules for a specific sport will be available at all manager meetings, on our bulletin board, and on our website www.ccsu.edu/recentral

 

Game Procedures

All participants should arrive at the playing field/court at least 15 minutes prior to scheduled game time.

 

Checking ID’s

Before a contest, event, or activity, all members of a team shall present to the head table their pictured Student ID card. 

 

Forgotten ID Policy

If a player forgets his or her ID, that player is ineligible to participate in the RECentral activity.

 

Assumption of Risk, Waiver and Release from Liability

This form must be signed and filled out by all players participating in the activity, prior to the start.  The waiver only needs to be completed once for the season.  If players are added to the roster at any point in time during the season, that player(s) must fill out a waiver before participating.  RECentral assumes no responsibility for injuries that occur during intramurals, special events, or open recreation.  In order to participate in intramurals, individuals must be aware of the Assumption of Risk.  RECentral would like to remind participants that injuries do occur and safety is the number one priority during all events.  In a case of major injuries the CCSU Police will be contacted in order to assess the situation.  *Any individuals who are bleeding during an intramural contest will be prohibited from continuing play until proper measures are completed.

 

 

Involvement

Awards

Activity Champions will receive Champion T-Shirts. 

 

Male & Female Participants of the Year is award given to the male and female participants that demonstrate the continuous involvement in RECentral activities, positive attitude, competitive spirit and contributing in a positive manner toward the RECentral Program.
