Who can be a captain?
|
|
Anyone who is a fee-paying member for the Student Recreation Center (which includes most VSU students). There is no other requirement for being a captain, however we do encourage the most responsible members of a team to fill this role, as they are in charge of dispersing information to the rest of their team.

What constitutes as a forfeit?
|
|
There are various ways a team can forfeit. Missing the captain’s meeting is the first. Other ways include: not having enough players at game time, receiving too many unsportsmanlike conducts during a game, having a player ejected during the playoffs, or simply not showing up to a game.

When a team knows they will not be able to make a scheduled contest, they may speak with our office staff about defaulting their game, which is less harsh than a forfeit.

How do individual/duel sports operate?
|
|
The way we run individual/duel sports is by providing a play-by-date for participants. We e-mail out all the necessary information to team representatives and they contact their weekly opponent to play before the date listed. Not at the day listed. The purpose of the date is to make sure everyone has their scores in by that time. Individual/duel sports are self-officiated games, as our intramural staff does not supervise these contests, with the exception of one day tournaments.

Am I guaranteed games if I sign up a team?
|
|
It varies based on interest. Some sports may not fill up their leagues, and in this case we do our best to accommodate teams. If nothing can be done we will return the forfeit bond to the captain.

What happens to forfeit bond money that is not returned?
|
|
The money is placed into our Sports Officials Association (SOA) account. It is used primarily for officials who travel to extramural tournaments or officiating clinics. The money is also used to purchase new sports equipment and stay up to date with our sports.
