During play, communicate with&nbsp;game officials&nbsp;through the team captain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each team should designate a minimum of one cadet to officiate each preliminary round game in which it plays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start time is forfeit time; there is no grace period for players arriving late.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Written protest, sent via e-mail from the Athletic Officer to the Director of Intramurals, must be received within 24 hours of the game&#8217;s finish. A protest may concern only a rule interpretation, not an official&#8217;s judgment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be reminded that players will communicate with officials through their team captain. Arguing, debating, crowding, or intimidating an official or an opponent are unacceptable behaviors. An official may warn or eject a player for poor sportsmanship. An ejected player must leave the field of play immediately, or the team will be disqualified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-officiating-guidelines\">Officiating Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-standards\">Standards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each team is expected to designate at least one student to officiate each preliminary-round game it plays. The student acting as an official earns participation credit. Semifinal and final games will be officiated by Athletic Officers or other students approved to officiate. The official and both teams must agree upon any rule change or adaptation before play. The official signs the score sheet and returns it to the Intramural equipment cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prerequisites\">Prerequisites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No prior officiating experience is required. Training sessions will be offered to new officials. The scheduling of officials will be based on students&#8217; willingness to serve in this capacity; an official may work as much or as little as desired. Students of any race, color, national origin, age, religion, disability status, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or cadet class may officiate after their freshman year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-calling-games-for-pay\">Calling Games for Pay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flag football and 5-on-5 basketball officials are hired as student employees through The Citadel Human Resources. Once hired, they are eligible for compensation at $12.00 per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-events\">Events<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Find event-specific rules via this site&#8217;s
