Why does sportsmanship matter? <p>Teams and individuals have many different reasons for participating in IM Sports. As a result, contests may not always be competitive or be seen as enjoyable. The best way our program can ensure as many people are having as enjoyable an experience as possible is to enforce a sportsmanship policy. All teams and individuals are expected to treat opponents, staff, officials, scorekeepers, fans and other members/patrons with respect at all times. Believe it or not, good sportsmanship is how we get more teams to register and staff to come back and work subsequent activities. The bottom line is positive sportsmanship helps our program get better!</p> Arrow
