If a person has participated in an intercollegiate season game/match during the current academic year, that person is not eligible in the sport or related sports. | |
Club Teams: |
Members of college sponsored club teams are elibible to participate in intramurals in that sport. However, restrictions similar to those under paragraph one of the varsity members section may be in effect. Exceptions to these rules will be noted on the activity information sheets for both varsity and club playes. |
Forfeits: |
Teams/individuals may be dropped after a second forfeit during competition. Players who are on teams dropped due to excessive forfeits are not eligible to be picked up and participate on another team in that sport during that season. |
One Team Rule: |
A participant may represent only one team in a given activity. After entering one contest with a given team, a player may not transfer to another team in that sport. Any other team using this individual will forfeit all the games in which this individual was involved and will be placed on probation. Violation of this rule may result in suspension of the individual's intramural sports participation for a full term. An individual may play on a men's/women's team plus a co-rec team and not be in violation of the one-team rule. |
Roster Addition: |
Roster additions are allowed through the roster addition deadline date established for each sport. Roster additions must be completed a minimum of twenty four (24) hours prior to initial participation. All players must be on the roster prior to the initial participation.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct: |
Any player ejected from an intramural contest for unsportsmanlike conduct or flagrant abuse of the opponent or official is automatically suspended for a minimum; from the next game his/her team plays. If playing in 2 leagues or sports, the player may not play in any game until the original suspension is served (i.e. playing on a men's and a co-rec league/team or a basketball and soccer league/team). Ejected players must leave the playing area immediately and may not be at the playing venue while suspended. |
