The UC Davis Intramural Sports FairPlay Program
The purpose of the FairPlay program is to ensure that all IM participants have the opportunity for a positive experience. Teams in Intramurals should not have to contend with ‘trash talking’, excessively rough play or other forms of unsportsmanlike conduct.

Every team’s average FairPlay rating will be monitored. If your team’s FairPlay average is below 3.5, you WILL NOT be able to participate in the playoffs for that season. Your team must also maintain a 3.5 average or higher throughout the playoffs to remain eligible. Please see links below for sport specific guidelines.

How a FairPlay score is assessed for your team
At the end of every game, the IM officials will also give a FairPlay score for each team. FairPlay scores are based on a scale that ranges from one to five, with five being exceptional and above average sportsmanship, and a one being extremely poor sportsmanship. When your team walks on to the field/court or jumps into the pool, you begin with a FairPlay score of four and you can work your way up or down from there based upon your conduct.
