DYNAMIC SPORT & SOCIAL CLUB, LLC
OFFICIAL SPORTS LEAGUE AND FITNESS CLASS POLICIES
SPORTSMANSHIP
The idea of Dynamic Sport and Social Club, LLC (referred to herein as "Dynamic") is to have fun. We hope that all participants keep that in mind when becoming involved. Although some games may become intense, you can still be competitive while maintaining good sportsmanship. This being said, any behavior deemed unacceptable by staff may result in suspension and/or ejection from a game or the league. Abuse of staff will not be tolerated. Dynamic reserves the right to remove a player from a game or league if the impede the right of others to have a good time, or threaten their safety. Dynamic will not tolerate fighting. Fighting will be grounds for ejection from any game and in most cases an entire season. Remember, most of us need to go to work the next day, and most days after that. If you feel that someone on your team or on another team is not practicing good sportsmanship, let us know. You can email us at sports@dynamicssc.com or call 408-659-4FUN.
CANCELLATIONS/RAINOUTS
If weather is going to be a factor, cancellation notices are sent, via email, as soon as we are notified of the cancellation by the facility. You may also call Dynamic's cancellation hotline on the day of the game at 408-659-4FUN to find out whether or not a game is cancelled. If there is no message concerning weather cancellations you can assume there have been no cancellations up to that point. Although weather may not be a factor the day of, adverse weather from previous days may still affect our fields. In this case, please call to verify whether or not cancellations have been made. You may also check our website at www.dynamicssc.com to verify weather cancellations. We will make every attempt to reschedule the cancelled games and notify you within 5 business days with an updated schedule. In rare circumstances, we may not be able to reschedule all missed games.
SCHEDULES
All schedules are subject to change at any time during the season. If a game needs to be replayed, we will do our best to reschedule the game on the normal weeknight games are played and push the playoffs back one week. Please plan your personal schedules to accommodate for this if this situation were to occur.
REGISTRATION
By signing up as a free agent or small group member, you are not guaranteed to be placed on a team. We will not be able to place everyone on a team, but we will do our best to accommodate. If we cannot place you on a team, we will notify you no later than 24 hours before the league starts as well as issue you a full refund or transfer your fees to another league. Due to the large number of males that sign up, free agent females and small groups with females in them have a better chance of getting placed on a team. League registration is on a "first come, first served" basis.
For small group registrations: If a small group reaches the specified amount of players on one team (please contact Dynamic for that number for the sport in which you are registering) by the deadline (See Deadline info below), it is considered its own team and will not add others to the roster. There is not a maximum number of players once your small group has reached the specified minimum amount and it has become its own team.
Deadline info: There are some sports where the deadline to sign up can come as early as a month or two months before the start of a league. As a general rule, we say that there is no deadline to sign up, but as soon as the event reaches maximum capacity we will close off the registration to new signups. We do our best to notify small groups that have not yet filled up as to a new deadline of when they must get the rest of their team members signed up. After that deadline there is no guarantee of them being placed on your team as all registered players at that time will be combined to form full teams.
RETURNING TEAMS
Dynamic league registration is done on a "first come, first served" basis. Team spots will not be held or reserved for returning teams for any reason. We appreciate your participation in our events so to ensure your team's spot in the upcoming league your entire ream must be registered before the league is full. For your convenience, upcoming leagues will be posted on our website up to 3 months in advance.
TEAM CAPTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES
Only team captains may dispute calls with officials.
Reporting Forfeits-see "Forfeits" below
Keeping the team up to date on league information
FORFEITS
It is the captain's responsibility to notify the Dynamic office at least 24 hours prior to game time if the team must forfeit. Dynamic staff will immediately notify the opposing team captain. Dynamic will also make a reasonable effort to find another team to play in a "scrimmage" game that will not count in the standings. The non-forfeiting team will receive a win.
If your team forfeits a game during the season, the following rules apply:
First Offense: Loss of game and a warning is issued.
Second Offence: Loss of game and staff reserves the right to remove that team from playoff contention.
Third Offense: Loss of game, removal from playoffs, and possible expulsion from the league.
**Notified forfeits are always looked upon more favorably than un-notified ones and no shows. Penalties will be determined on a case by case basis.
ROSTERS
It is the responsibility of the team captain, who signed up and paid for the entire team, to submit a full roster 48 hours before the start of the league. Permanent roster changes may not be made after the 3rd game of the regular season. Rosters are REQUIRED for insurance purposes and must include names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, and shirt sizes (if applicable). If a roster is not submitted, your team may not be allowed to participate in the event, or will have to forfeit games until a roster is submitted.
WAIVERS
All players must sign a paper waiver to be eligible to play in any event.
PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
Only players who have been placed on the roster are eligible to play; however, subs are allowed free of charge for single games during the REGULAR SEASON ONLY. In this case, Dynamic must be notified 24 hours prior to the event who the player is. A formal protest may be made with the Official before a game if an opposing player's eligibility is in question. Any protest made during or after a game will not be considered a formal protest. The player is question must present ID to an official. If no ID is available, the player must write down his full name, email, phone number, and provide a signature. The game will be played in its entirety as scheduled. Teams will be notified of all rulings on the identified eligibility discrepancy prior to the following week's games- decisions will not be made on site. If the protest is proven to be legitimate, it will result in the forfeiture of the game in question. All rulings made by Dynamic staff are considered final.
Teams may pick up players from other teams in the same league (maximum of 2 players) only during the regular season and only if they do not have enough to field a full team. In other words, teams may not pick up players if they already have enough to field a team or if it is during the playoffs. Players not on your team roster may not play in the playoffs. If players are picked up to play and the rest of the team arrives later, then the players that were picked up may not play in the remainder of the game. A formal protest may be filed with the referee if you believe a team has violated this policy BEFORE the end of the game. Any protests after the game will not be eligible.
TEAM NAMES
Dynamic has the right to decline submissions of team names for any reason. All names shall be subject to approval by Dynamic staff. Team names should not be of sexual, racist, or otherwise offensive nature. If you think your team name may be offensive, please contact us to verify acceptance. If you find another team name to be offensive, please let us know by calling the office or emailing us.
SCORES
Our best effort is made to post scores and game results within 72 hours after the completion of games. If there are any discrepancies between the results posted and the actual game results, please contact us at sports@dynamicssc.com or call us at 408-659-4FUN.
Initial standings are determined by the number of league points (PTS). In the event of a tie, the following tie-breaking rules are used. If there is still a tie after a given tie-breaking rule is applied, the next one in the list is used.
- Head-to-head. If the teams met during the regular season, the team with the better record versus the other wins. If the teams did not meet, head-to-head shall be considered a tie.
- Effective for leagues starting after June 4, 2012: Win-Tie-Loss Percentage (WTL%). With ties counting as half a win, the percentage of games that were won.
- Strength of Victory (SOV). The average of the records of a team's defeated opponents for each instance in which they competed. Teams which defeat teams with good records have a higher SOV than teams which defeat with poor records.
- Effective for leagues starting after June 4, 2012: Strength of Schedule (SOS). Two times the average of a team's played opponents + the average of the a team's opponent's opponents, divided by 3. Assesses the relative difficulty of a team's schedule.
- Points Against (PA). The team with the lowest number of points scored against them wins.
- Points For (PF). The team with the highest number of points scored against opponents wins.
