 Fair-Play Points  




Fair Play applies to all our leagues but it differs between our self-refereed division and refereed division. In our refereed leagues, the referee will calculate the fp points this way: all teams will start with 5.  For every yellow card your team gets, take off 1 fp point.  For every red card, take off 2 points.  Example: a team that receives 1 red card and 1 yellow card will receive (5 points - 2 for the red - 1 for the yellow).  That means the team will get 3/5 in total.  See below for the calculation.

Self-refereed teams must award Fair-Play Points as a team. 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 Fair-Play score lower than 5, your spirit score must be accompanied with a valid explanation.

If a team defaults their game, they automatically lose their right to award Fair-Play 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 rating that they want.

The CMSS monitors teams who constantly receive low Fair-Play points. Inversely, we also monitor teams who constantly give low ratings in order to move up in the standings.

Any grade below a 5 will need to be accompanied with a valid explanation. Note: FP monitors will attribute a FP rating of 0-5 based on the overall attitude of the teams. If you think you deserved a higher FP rating than the other team awarded you, you have a right to choose the FP monitor's rating (without knowing whether it is higher or lower). Once you decide to contest the rating, you cannot revert to the previous grade.

Teams have one week to contest their FP rating in writing within 1 week. NO EXCEPTIONS.
