20. Sportsmanship
Wikipedia describes the five facets of proper sportsmanship as:
Full commitment to participation
Respect and concern for rules and officials
Respect and concern for social conventions
Respect and concern for the opponent
Avoiding poor attitudes toward participation
The Intramural program’s philosophical approach to sportsmanship is:
Play hard, play to win, play fair
Officials do not determine the outcome of games…players do
Sometimes the other team is better…give credit when and where it’s due
Do not allow the outcome to dictate your level of enjoyment
