Fair Play
Effective Feb 07 there are a few changes with respect to FP.

From now on, any grade below a 5 (previously it was 3) will need to be accompanied with a valid explanation. New: 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.

Aggressive behaviour or play
Because most of our sports are self-officiated, teams can and will be held responsible for their players' conduct. If someone on your squad is behaving inappropriately, it is YOUR responsibility to keep him or her from doing so. In addition, CMSS reserves the right to immediately eject a team or player From the league without refund for aggressive play. Remember, relax-it's all about having fun! Our leagues are all NON-CONTACT.

Dress
As a general rule, the home team wears black and the away team white. Please avoid grey as it could be confusing. If you are not sure which you should wear, bring both a dark & light coloured shirt to all games, and your captain or the fair play monitor will let you know which colour to wear. If teams have uniforms (no dark or light jerseys allowed), this may not be necessary. Also, players should remove all watches, bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, etc, prior to play.

Respect
Respect the schools and gyms-put things back where you found them, take all of your items with you and put trash in provided receptacles.
Please be out by the hour specified on your schedule. If you abuse this, game times will be made earlier and the league could lose its permits leaving you with NO GAMES and NO REFUND. Enter and exit ONLY by the specified areas. Do not wander the schools in areas other than the gyms. Showers are not provided.

Playoffs
The CMSS does its best to get as many teams playing in the playoffs as possible, however it is possible that NOT ALL teams will have a game during the final week of play. Especially if there are an uneven number of teams in the league.
- During the regular season, team captains can use ANYONE as a player for their team (as long as they have filled out and submitted a CMSS waiver form). However, to play on playoff nights players must have attended a minimum of 3 regular season games for that team. Please respect this rule. The only exception to this rule is if teams do not have enough players and will default their game. They are allowed to have the minimum number of subs in this case. Ringers are not welcome at playoff night!

Standings
Wins are worth 2 points, ties are worth 1 and losses are worth 0. If a team defaults, they will lose one point. Standings are posted on the web site. FP points count toward the standings. Pls see top right of standings page to know more about FP points and what your team can do to increase them.

Club Montreal reserves the right to change teams' levels at our discretion.

Equipment
In some cases there is a refundable deposit of $75 for equipment loaned by the CMSS which is refunded upon return of the equipment.

Waiver
For a team or individual registration to be valid, ALL players on the roster MUST agree to the terms of the online waiver - NO EXCEPTIONS. This waiver is valid for all activities with CMSS. That is why we made it impossible to submit a form unless you read carefully and check the box "I agree to the terms" of the waiver.

Payment Requirements
Full payment is due upon registration.
Registrations are not considered final until full payment has been received. CMSS will not allow teams or individuals to participate in any event if payment has not been received.
The cost for all our leagues varies per season and activity. The minimum is typically 5 players, at least 2 women, 2 men on court at all times. The recommended number of players per team is 7-12.
