REFEREE STAFF 
DDYSC would like to reaffirm that referees appointed to officiate each game have complete authority, and that his/her decisions on points of fact connected with the game are final. Officials are independent contractors and are not employees of the YMCA. Officiating will be monitored and assessed periodically to provide quality officiating. Constructive comments regarding officiating are welcomed and encouraged. Please submit any such comments in writing. Complaints regarding officials should be submitted in writing and contain points of fact. Do not discuss officiating or the officials with the Site Supervising staff during or immediately after your game.

LEVELS OF COMPETITION 
DDYSC reserves the right to make the necessary changes within league divisions to ensure an equal level of ability and competition. This includes the YMCA Sports Director forming teams to help create parity in the league, as well as adding players on to teams that have entered into the League as a team thru team registration, should there be any openings on any of those teams.
