Trounce rule - Dynamo is
a recreational league and both teams are responsible for trying to maintain a
positive and reasonable style of play. Coaches are asked to take heed of goal
differential and adjust their coaching style to maintain a high level of
sportsmanship. If the goal differential becomes 4 or greater it is
recommended that coaches substitute their higher skilled players or place
higher skilled players in goal or at defense to slow down their scoring and
limit the oppositions scoring. If a team doesn’t adhere to these guidelines
REFEREES WILL TREAT TROUNCING AS UNSPORTSMANLIKE BEHAVIOR AND ARE DIRECTED
TO SHOW COACHES A YELLOW IF THEY DO NOTHING AND A RED IF THE BEHAVIOR
PERSISTS. If a coach needs suggestions on ways to limit
trounces, either offensively or defensively, please seek out the Coaching
Coordinator for suggestions.
Penalties for Disciplinary Infractions:
WARNING FLAGS - DYNAMO
