Team Sports

During both Fall and Spring semesters, weekly leagues and tournaments are offered to teams at various skill levels.

Team sports throughout the year generally include Flag Football, Indoor Volleyball, 5-on-5 Basketball, Dodgeball, and 12” Softball.
*Other sport leagues and tournaments may be offered each semester based on demand.

Team sports usually include four weeks of round robin regular season games and two weeks of single elimination playoffs, but may be used as a one-night or weekend tournament. Every team is included in playoffs unless they forfeit a game and/or do not have a sufficient sportsmanship average.

Individual/Dual Sports

During both Fall and Spring semesters, numerous activities are offered in a singles and doubles format at various skill levels.

Fall sports generally include Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, Putt-Putt, Racquetball singles and doubles, and 9-Ball.
Spring sports generally include Table Tennis, 3-Point Shootout, Spades, and Bench Press Powerlifting.
*Other tournaments may be offered each semester based on demand.

Individual/Dual sports vary in format depending upon the number of entries received. Formats include, but are not limited to single elimination, double elimination, and round robin. These tournaments are usually scheduled as a one-night event, but may also take place over the course of a week.

Divisions

Competition divisions include Men’s I, Men’s II, Women’s, Corec, and Freshmen. Men’s I is for the more competitive team/athlete while Men’s II offers a more recreational environment. Depending upon the specific sport and number of entries, the two Men’s divisions may be combined into one.

Registration

•	All event entry forms are located online as well as at the control desk of the Activity Center. Fill out all information completely before turning in your entry. Entry forms should be turned in to the Recreational Sports Office during normal business hours (8:00am - 5:00pm, M-F), taking note of the event entry deadline.
•	No entry form will be accepted without payment (see Intramural Fees)
•	Before submitting the entry form, all information for the minimum number of players must be completely filled out.
•	Finally, for team sports, there may be a Captains’ Meeting. These meetings are very important and cover rules, format, and other procedures that are vital to the success of the league. Captain's meeting information is located on each entry form and will be given out when your team registers.
•	Teams that fail to show for the Captain's Meeting will automatically have their forfeit fee deposited!

Intramural Fees

Most of the intramural sports have some fee that is required before a team or individual can register. These small fees (none higher than $20 per TEAM) are not in place to generate revenue. The intention of the fees is to reduce the number of forfeits. If a team does not forfeit throughout the season, including playoffs, the team will get the fee returned. After the season is over, teams will have 10 days to come in and pick-up their check, otherwise it will be shredded.

Upon entering a team or individual for a sport, the entry from MUST be accompanied by a check, per university policy. Payment must be in the form of a check so that at the end of the intramural season, it will be destroyed. Teams that forfeit during the season will have their checks deposited.

Awards

At the end of each intramural event, winners for each division will be awarded an intramural champions t-shirt. T-shirts are reserved only for players listed on the winning team’s roster.
