Q: What "Spirit of the Game" behavior is expected from spectators?

Create and share a team roster with other friends and family.
Provide team drinks and snacks to maintain energy necessary for competing and remaining healthy.
Bring tents for shade in hot or rainy weather.
Cheer for the team and individuals.
Encourage spirit and conflict resolution among players by listening quietly when calls are made and allowing them to make the final decision without receiving feedback from the crowd.
Take pictures to share with the team after the event.
Wear team colors and make posters or banners.
Stay positive! Celebrate good plays and defense; refrain from booing or negative comments.
