Romp Guidelines
In the spirit of sportsmanship, no team should run up the score on another team and humiliate them. Thus, in matches in which the score differential reaches FIVE, in the most discrete way as possible, the leading team must take appropriate measures to try to make the game more competitive.
--- Coaches are reminded that implementation of the Romp Recommendation should be done discreetly.
