EXPLANATION AND GUIDELINES FOR SPORTSMANSHIP

FOR WYSL REPORTS

In order to simplify the rating system, the sporting committee indented determined that every team enters the field at the start of a match at zero (can be called neutral, normal or average)  and points are added or minus-ed from there, depending upon exhibited behavior.

Sporting behavior on the field would be rated by the referee as follows:
Good sporting ( above the average) behavior rates 1 point,
Excellent sporting behavior rates 2
Poor sporting behavior rates minus 1,
Totally Unacceptable sporting behavior rates minus 2.

For example:
If a team during a match is behaving in the realm a normal WYSL game behavior and the coach or parent from the side lines, shows some above normal positive sporting behavior towards an opposing team by: complimenting their effort in some way, they have done something above the norm and could be judged as earning a good rating or positive 1 rating for the game.

An contrary, if a coach, parent or player exhibits some negative sporting behavior by: kicking the ball away from an opposing player after a foul has been called, they may be on there way to receiving a minus 1 rating for the match.
