Giving a Spirit Score

Spirit Score Guidelines:

  • Teams should not lose Spirit points for enforcing a 4:3 ratio (if appropriate). Captains can agree to play a different ratio, but are under no obligation to do so. It is disrespectful to your own team to play a ratio that is not beneficial to your team’s enjoyment / competitiveness / value for money.
  • Below is a procedure for giving spirit that teams can follow to get a spirit score:
