Captains’ Responsibilities Represent team in case of protests and/or forfeits Cooperate with IM staff at all games (line-ups, scores, protests, injuries, forfeits, ejections, team and spectator conduct, etc.) Make sure all players show up in the proper equipment Promote FairPlay and good sportsmanship Checking Scorecard and sign at the end of the game We want the captains to be the mouthpiece for the team, If for any reason you need to speak with the officials or the supervisor, we expect you to do it, not your teammates. You are also responsible for your spectators, if someone on your sideline is causing problems you will receive the yellow card for them as we cannot card people who are not on the roster. In case of incidents the supervisor and/or officials may ask for your help, it is your responsibility to do so. The reason that we have the captains sign off on the scorecard is so that you have the opportunity to look over and confirm everything on there. You are responsible for all players added to your roster. When you are signing off you are verifying that all player information and the score are correct.

Reschedules A team in need of a reschedule will need to email the IM Office at least 48 hours before the normal game time. All teams who attend the official’s clinics will earn 1 free reschedule that can be used anytime during the season (regular or playoffs). No longer get a reschedule for completing quiz. There is a $20 fee for all team reschedules and a $10 fee for all singles/doubles reschedules. Other team has to accept the reschedule for it to be finalized. Options for reschedules will be based on availability of facility space and staffing. Same sport game conflicts

Reschedules continued.. If an email is not sent 48 hours prior to the original game time, the reschedule is not finalized and the game will be played as originally scheduled. This means that all Sunday reschedules need to be finalized by Friday by 5 p.m. Due to the timeline of playoff games, exceptions may be made to allow for additional time to reschedule these games.
