He that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of thedevil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the heartsof men to contend with anger, one with another. (3 Ne. 11:29.)

Wherefore, verily I say unto you that all things unto me arespiritual, and not at any time have I given unto you a law whichwas temporal (D&C 29:34)

Church sports activities have a unique central purpose muchhigher than the development of physical prowess, or even victory

itself. It is to strengthen faith, build integrity, and develop in eachparticipant the attributes of his maker.

-Nov 1988, Ensign

"Recreationgood Latter-day Saint recreationis one of thedevices by which we may help the young people of this Church tolearn and love the gospel of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and therebylearn to live righteously"

-Elder Mark E. Petersen

-Elder Thomas S. Monson

While many people play a game for the enjoyment of playing,some people have an appetite for competition and a desire to winthat takes precedence over anything else. Theyre so occupied withwinning that they put their emotions on the front burner, andcourtesies go to the back. We need to continually remind teammembers that a major purpose of the Church sports program is tooffer a wholesome opportunity to participate in a wide variety ofactivities that involve play and competition. While we need topromote a high level of play, we also need to remember were notplaying professional ball. We can still keep the goal of playing well,and do it gracefully and within the rules.

An individuals character shows itself more readily in the field ofcompetition than in just about any other phase of life. As wecommit ourselves to the gospel and its ramifications, we need toconsciously remember what we represent. Even though we mightbe clothed differently in a sacrament meeting than in a sportscontest, were still the same people, and we still represent theSavior. Our job is to be worthy of that honor, whatever our activitiesmay be.

-Brother ThorstensonActivities Committee

Val Hale,Former BYU Athletic Director

What does the Lord think of poor sportsmanship in athletics? Somemight argue that sports are insignificant in the eternal scheme ofthings and that yelling at referees or at opposing players and

4


5/23

throwing tantrums on the field are relatively harmless acts. But thescriptures are very clear in explaining that the Lord deplorescontention of any kind. The Lord certainly must be concernedabout our attitudes and the unkind words we hurl at officials and

others.Good sportsmanship can prevail if we each do our part to be goodsports and to let others know that rude, un-Christlike behavior isunacceptableespecially in athletics. Following are some ideasthat, when implemented, help make athletic events more enjoyablefor everyone:

1. Dont allow teammates to behave in an unsportsmanlikemanner. Peer pressure is a powerful influence and can be utilized tocreate a positive atmosphere at sporting events. Before eachseason, players should agree among themselves that they will not

tolerate unsportsmanlike conduct on their team. If a player objectsto a call or engages in an argument with an opponent, teammatesneed to express their concern to the player immediately, helpinghim to recognize that angry words are unacceptable.

2. Help officials by making honor calls. Honor calls are encouragedin Church sports and ought to be more prevalent at all levels ofathletics. Officials cannot see all the action at once. Such honestytakes controversy out of calls, especially close plays, and makesofficiating much easier.

3. Praise officials when they make good callseven if they goagainst your teamand accept the fact that officials arent perfect.Every official makes mistakes, and Church officials often receiveonly brief basic training. Generally, officials know when they havemade a bad call, but there is little that can be done to change a callonce it has been made.

4. Compliment the opposition after a good play or game. We oftenget so caught up in the heat of competition that we fail toacknowledge a good play by the opposition. Kind words like Niceshot or Good block, spoken to an opponent, will not hurt your

teams performance and will promote friendly competition.

5. Dont make excuses for poor play or losses. After a loss, playerssometimes blame the defeat on anything but their ownperformance. Officials, scorekeepers, bad lighting, and poorequipment end up being scapegoats.

5


6/23

6. Coaches must set an example of good sportsmanship. Coachesare responsible for the actions of their teams. They set the tone forthe game. Coaches of youth, in particular, have a vitalresponsibility to teach their players the importance of good

sportsmanship. The memory of a coach angrily confronting anumpire will remain with a young player much longer than thememory of the team losing the game.

7. Make certain each contest begins with prayer. A prayer before agame has a calming influence. It helps put the game in perspectiveand reminds players of the need for good sportsmanship.

8. Use properly trained officials. Church athletic officials should becalled and set apart by their priesthood leaders. Adequate trainingmust accompany the call. We need to remember that most Church

officials are volunteers who are trying to do their best at a verydifficult job.

9. Dont tolerate bad sportsmanship by friends and familymembers. Friends and family members can sometimes be thegreatest influence for good sportsmanship. Spouses should setexamples for each other of good sportsmanship at games, whetheras spectators or participants. As parents, we can discourage ourchildren from blaming others for losses or failures. We canencourage our childrens coaches not to harass officials and to bebetter examples for team members.

10. Finally, cheer for your team, win or lose. Coaches and playersoften spend hours practicing. They deserve our warm support. Weall need to take a more active role in promoting goodsportsmanship in athletics. Regardless of our rolefan, player,coach, or administratorwe can make a difference if we refuse totolerate unsportsmanlike conduct. If we do our part, Churchathletics will continue to be a valuable and important tool,providing opportunities for fellowshipping and wholesomerecreation.

play defense past the half court line, and may press only inthe final 2 minutes of the game if they are behind.

(Commentary: The integrity and spirit of the program will beprotected, and will be held more important than an individuals

wrongly perceived right to play. We also follow closely allChurch policies on Eligibility, firm in the belief that doing so willrender blessings of success.)

Playoff Eligibility1. All regular season eligibility requirements must be met.2. A player must play in 2 regular season games to be eligible to

participate in playoffs.3. Attendance at 2 sacrament meetings during the season by a

member can be substituted for playing in 2 games, however,to avoid surprises for opponents, the coach must notify the

Stake Sports Director by the end of play on the final eveningof regular season of play if they have a member that has notplayed, but attended church that they wish to render eligiblefor playoffs.

4. If a ward has two teams they must freeze6 the roster with 4games left in the regular season, and players may not switchteams for the playoffs.7

(Commentary: Keeping in mind that nothing engenders badfeelings in Church Basketball more than a team showing up forplayoffs with a group of previously unseen ringers, Bloomfield HillsStake has developed and will enforce this simple, but strict playoff

eligibility policy)

Eligibility WaiversRarely unique and unforeseen circumstances arise which may notbe covered in the eligibility policies. A team may seek a waiverthrough the following process:

1. The team coach should notify the Stake Sports Director, andschedule a meeting with the Stake Sports Director, thatWards Bishop and the Coach.

2. In that meeting all facts will be gathered, and the coach maymake position known. The player in question may or may

not choose to attend the meeting.3. If the Bishop approves proceeding to the next level, the Stake

Sports Director will then meet with the Stake High

6 May add move-ins or new players, but not shuffle players from one team to another.7 A player may switch teams occasionally during regular season to play for another team inhis ward to help avoid a forfeit, but may only play for one team each week, and cant switchduring playoffs.

Councilman over Stake Sports and/or the member of theStake Presidency over Athletics and render a decision. TheCoach may attend this meeting if he wishes.

4. A decision will be rendered after balancing the needs of the

individual in question and the desire to be fair to all teams inthe program.5. A coach or Ward being unaware of any written rule would not

be a considered a good reason to grant a waiver.(Commentary: Waivers will not routinely be given out, theremust be a compelling and over-riding reason for the waiver.Teams must keep in mind this process may take a number ofdays to schedule and complete, last minute requests forwaivers have very little chance of being successful)

OfficialsMen1. Referees will be provided by other teams, per schedules.2. Teams lose points in standings for missing referee

assignments.3. A third official will be assigned to the game. That third stake

official at the scorers table (keeping the scorebook or clock)will have a whistle and can assist the on-court officials. Theywill primarily be looking out for rough play and poorsportsmanship. They will not make routine calls, or over-ruleon-floor officials judgement on basketball calls.

4. While players are encouraged to volunteer honor callsduring games, keep in mind a referee may choose to not acton your honor call for any number of reasons. In the end itis entirely up to the referee whether to officialize any honorcalls.

Young Men1. The Stake may require each team to provide one referee per

week to work a game that their ward is not participating in.(Commentary: Bloomfield Hills Stake Sports wishes all players tounderstand that referees will miss calls, and make wrong calls inEVERY game we play. Players cant control bad calls; you can only

control how you react to those bad calls. Any judgements anddecisions made on actions of players or teams by the Stakeofficials will be based on the players actions, and the fact that abad basketball call may have been made will not be considered. Inother words, being right does not excuse poor behavior8.)

8Inappropriate behaviorby an official may be considered a mitigating factor, butnot a bad basketball call.

Mercy Rule -In the second half:1. If a team is up by 15 points the clock will not stop in the last

2 minutes of the game.2. If a team is up by 15 points they may not play defense past

Sportsmanship Points Standards11

Teams grade their opponents after every game. No politic-ing orquid pro quo should be solicited or accepted. No discussion withthe opponent should take place before the score is awarded. Invery rare circumstances a stake official may overrule and alter apoint award, but that would be extremely rare and only be aremedy to an extreme injustice.

4 points- An excellent game with absolutely no negative

incidents or flavor. There should have been no negativecomments and total respect afforded by both competitorstowards each other and referees.3 points- A 4 point game with a single negative comment orcommunication12

2 points- A game with multiple (however minor) negative wordsor actions, or where one team is clearly superior and chooses torun up the score on the weaker opponent.1 point- A game with tension and or bad feelings towards theopposing team or a hard, unnecessary foul may have beencommitted or where one team is clearly superior and chooses to

hot dog or other theatrics meant to embarrass or show up theweaker team.0 points- A game with multiple ugly incidents, players ejected,or violence.Bonus Point a team or referee may choose to award a bonuspoint (5 total points) if a teams behavior was of such highcaliber that it was noticeable, where players exhibited theabsolute highest standard of sportsmanship including playersputting courtesy, friendliness and respect as a highest priority.This should be awarded very infrequently, and should be givenwhen opponents find themselves uplifted by the experience of

playing a particular team.

If 2 teams are tied in points at the end of the season the tie will bebroken by:

10 If a ward has 2 assignments in one night, they lose 4 points per missed assignment.11 Behavior of team players, coaches and fans will be taking into account.12 Including nonverbal demonstrations of displeasure or aggressive body language.

Technical Fouls1. clerical technical fouls will not be called (uniform violations,

illegal numbers, adding players to scoresheet late, etc)2. A technical foul can be assessed to an individual player or

coach, or to an entire team.3. A technical foul may be called on a team for the

unsportsmanlike behavior of a fan if the referee believes theteam could exert influence over the fan. The fan will be

asked to leave the gym and play will not be resumed until fanhas left.4. The penalty for a technical foul is always 2 free throws and

possession for the other team.5. A technical is to be called if an official hears what can

reasonably construed as a swear word.6. A second sportsmanship related technical foul in a game on a

single player results in their removal from the game, and theymust miss next scheduled game, and meet with their Bishopbefore returning to play.

7. A player, coach or fan removed from the game must leave

the gym promptly. Any significant delay will cause game tobe called, forfeit assigned to that player, coach or fans team.8. Some technical fouls are not considered sportsmanship

related technicals and will not count towards the 2-per-game rule. Those generally include playing 3 guest playersat once or an grabbing the rim during warmup or halftime.

Dress1. No hats of any kind may be worn (head and wristbands OK).2. Any and all jewelry must be removed (including piercings.).3. Wedding rings may be worn, but are not recommended.

Playoff Format1. Mens Playoffs will be a single elimination tournament. Teams

are invited to playoffs by the following criteria:a. The 8 teams with the highest point total are invited.b. Judgment will be used in applying this formula, and if

sportsmanship point totals are close, and do not clearly

17


18/23

differentiate then decisions will be made altering theformula. Any deviation from the formula will lean towardsinclusion of teams into playoffs. This prevents unduepressure on the sportsmanship points system, and the

teams that must award points to opponents. In otherwords, it prevents one person from deciding whether ornot another team makes playoffs with their sportsmanshippoints award on the final night of competition.

2. YM Playoffs will be the Basketball Festival.3. The highest(er) seeded team may always pass the bye to the

next seeded team. (Typically teams view a first round bye ascompetitive advantage, but in this league teams often wouldrather play than sit)

General Basketball rules1. Free throw- The shooting team lines up shooter plus 2

players, the non-shooting team lines up 4 players.2. Kicking the ball- if a player purposefully kicks a ball it is a

violation. If the ball inadvertently hits a foot it is not aviolation.

3. A player may rebound his own airball shot, no traveling.4. A player may dribble above his shoulders; it is not traveling

unless the ball comes to rest in his hand.5. Simply reaching is not a foul. There has to be contact for

there to be a foul and that contact has to have created an

advantage for the defender or a disadvantage for theoffensive player before a foul is called.

6. Over the back is not a foul. There has to be contact for a foulto be called. Many times a taller player is simply behindanother player and gets the ball without contacting theplayer in front. This is not a foul.

7. A ball stuck in the rim on a shot is dead, and possession isawarded by alternating possession.
