APPENDIX E

Statistical Policies

All Sports – Scrimmages/Exhibition Games

• A game will be counted by both teams as an official contest for purposes of won-lost records and team and individual statistics unless both institutions agree before the game that it is to be a scrimmage or an exhibition contest. If it is a scrimmage or an exhibition contest, the team and individual statistics and records cannot be counted for either team.

Career Statistics

• All official games played count toward an athlete’s career statistics including games played in a Redshirt season. Example: Joe plays the first six games of the basketball season his sophomore year and then breaks his ankle. Joe doesn’t play the rest of the season but is awarded a medical Redshirt and has three more years of eligibility left. These six games would count in Joe’s career statistics and he will be credited with five years of playing if he plays in five different seasons.

Changing Official Statistics

• When an error or discrepancy in the official statistics is discovered after a contest has concluded and the official statistics have been distributed, use the following procedure.

- If the sports information director of the home team discovers the error, the SID must alert the visiting SID of the change within 72 hours of game completion. The home SID must also send notification to the conference office along with new stat file and outline the change and why it was made.

- If the visiting SID needs to make a change in the final statistics, he or she must call/ email the home team’s SID within 72 hours after the event. If the home team SID agrees, then the home team SID must confirm the changes in writing ( email is acceptable) with the visiting SID and send a copy to the conference office along with updated stat file.

- However, if the home team SID disagrees with the change, then the visiting SID must file an appeal with the conference media relations office in writing ( email) with the 72 hour period. The WHAC media relations department will review the case and make final judgment. Every effort should be made between the two schools to resolve the issue. In the event the dispute reaches the conference office, both parties should know the decision of the conference office is final.

Class Listing in Rosters

• A student-athlete’s class (Fr., So., Jr., Sr.) should always be listed by eligibility on rosters to be used for statistical purposes. For example a player that is a sophomore academically but redshirted his freshman year should be listed on the roster as a freshman since he had four years of eligibility.

• The WHAC requires the following class notation on all rosters for websites and documents distributed between schools, to encourage consistency and save time of formatting game publications. (Fr., So., Jr., Sr.) - Please do not spell out FRESHMAN, do not use alternate abbreviation (Soph.) and do not use numbers (1-4).

Countable Opponents

• Only games against varsity teams of four-year, degree-granting colleges/universities shall be included in team statistics, won-lost records and coaching records. If you are unsure if a team can be counted, contact the WHAC Media Relations office.

Forfeit Scores (In Game)

• If a forfeit is declared to one of the teams by the game officials and the game has not progressed to a “reasonable point of conclusion”, then the official game score should be recorded from the following chart. The team’s won-lost record shall include the forfeit, but if the statistics are voided, all averages in future rankings shall be computed without the inclusion of the forfeited contest.

|SPORT |SCORE |COUNT STATS |

|- Baseball |9-0 |5 innings |

|- Basketball |2-0 |30 minutes |

|- Golf |Withdraw |case-by-case |

|- Soccer |1-0 |70 minutes |

|- Softball |7-0 |5 innings |

|- Tennis |Withdraw |case-by-case |

|- Volleyball |3-0 |all completed sets/games in a match shall count, as |

| | |well as a partial set/game if a team has at least 10|

| | |points in the match. |

|- Lacrosse |1-0 |3 quarters (M); 48 minutes (W) |

|- Ice Hockey |1-0 |2 periods |

Forfeit Scores (Post Game)

• If at any point after the conclusion of a game the result is to be changed to forfeit (i.e. ineligible players participating, etc.) use the following guidelines:

- To record a forfeit, the wins of the penalized team must be changed to losses and losses of its opponent must be changed to wins. This affects season records, all-time records and coaches’ records, and should be changed whenever and wherever these records are referred. Except for any student-athletes declared ineligible, the individual statistics are not affected by this action. Example: If Team A was 18-10 for the season but has to forfeit five wins, then Team A’s record would now stand at 13-15 for the season and the won-lost records for each of the opposing teams affected would also be changed.

- Individual records and performances of other players (teammates and opponents) who participated in these games shall not be altered except for those players who were declared ineligible.

Postseason Records and Statistics

• Postseason games including conference, regional and/or NAIA tournaments, shall be included in the official records and statistics for all sports.

Halted Game Rule

• Conference regular-season and tournament games are governed by the Halted-Game rule. A game may be halted “if play must be temporarily suspended with the intent that it will be continued at some later time or date.” The resumption of the game must start at exactly the point of it being suspended with lineups and batting orders of both teams exactly the same as they were, subject to the rules of substitution, and any player who played or was announced as a substitute before the game was suspended, must be in the lineup when play resumes or be ineligible for the remainder of the game. Every effort should be made to continue the game with the plate umpire’s original lineup cards.

Reporting Scores Regularly

• For a member institution to retain good standing with the WHAC, score reporting on a regular basis, following the guidelines below is a must.

- The host SID (for conference games) will email the stat file and game score within one hour of game completion to the visiting team Sports Information Office as well as the conference statistician. The host SID also has one hour from completion of a hosted event to post the score to the WHAC site via SID HELP and send out stat file and game score to appropriate parties.

- For non-conference games, the WHAC SID must report the score via the WHAC website within 12 hours of completion and send stat file to WHAC statistician within 24 hours of completion of event. In the event that the 24-hour rule cannot be met, it is the responsibility of the WHAC school participating SID to notify the conference office for ruling.

- Reporting your score to the WHAC site via SID HELP will automatically sync your score through the NAIA site.

-All scores must be reported through the NAIA Scoreboard (this is automatically done when you post score on WHAC site) or through DakStats within 24 hours of the contest in order for the team to be eligible for ratings.

- FINE SYSTEM FOR NON-REPORTING - If timelines are not met in reporting scores and/or statistics the following action will be taken by the WHAC

- First offense; written letter of reprimand citing non-compliance to SID and school AD

- Second offense; written letter of reprimand citing non-compliance to SID, AD and school President

- Third offense; letter of reprimand to SID, AD, President and $100 fine payable to WHAC

- All future occurrences result in additional $100 fine and review by WHAC Executive committed for further punishment including disqualification of sport in question to relieve individual post-season honors.
