These sports are self-scheduling. It is your responsibility to set up play times. This sheet provides the necessary information for participation in Intramural individual sports. Specific game’s rules are available in the Recreational Services office. Please check the specific sport information sheet for any special rules or Intramural adaptations.
Scheduling Set Up
Tournament bracket sheets are posted on the bulletin boards located in the Intramural Gallery on the first floor of the Recreation Complex. Go to your specific sport and division bracket to find your opponent in the appropriate round. Check the posted information concerning your phone number (extension included) to ensure the information is correct. If a correction needs to be made of the posted information, please notify the Tournament Director immediately.
Contacting Opponent
Both parties are responsible for contacting their opponent to schedule a play time and place. This match must be scheduled prior to the deadline posted for that round. Contact your opponent early in the week corresponding to the deadline. Repeated phone calls are sometimes necessary. Do not procrastinate. Make every attempt to play your match before the deadline. Forfeits are an undesirable alternative.
Deadlines
A deadline date sheet is posted next to the tournament bracket sheets. These sheets are also available at entry and during the sports season. Please record the deadline date when you look up your match. The matches for each round must be completed and score cards turned in prior to the deadline posted for that round. Score cards turned in after the posted deadline are not accepted, unless an extension has been granted.
Scoring of Matches
See rules books and information sheets for details concerning keeping score for specific sports.
Reporting Results
1. The match winner is responsible for reporting the results. Failure to turn in a score card by the deadline will result in a double forfeit.
2. Results are to be recorded on an Individual Sport Score Card. These are found at the drop box in the Intramural Gallery on the first floor of the Recreation Complex. Completed cards are to be put in the drop box prior to the deadline date and time. Results will not be taken over the phone or in the office. Score cards turned in after the posted deadline are not accepted, unless an extension has been granted. Score cards must include player numbers.
3. If a forfeit is claimed, the reason must be explained on the back of the score card. Double forfeits will not be accepted. Be sure to play!
4. Once an established match time and location have been agreed upon, failure of an individual/team to be present after 5 minutes of the agreed upon time will result in a forfeit.
Additions
Additions will be allowed for 3-on-3 Basketball and Triples Volleyball only. Teams may have four members on their roster for these two sports. Teams signing up only three players, may add a fourth player in the Recreational Services office within one working day after the contest in which the individual played.
Substitutions
No substitute players are allowed after sign-up, except as approved by the Individual Sports Tournament Director. Substitutions will be allowed only prior to a team's first match. Any individual substituting for another player without approval or after his team's first match will receive a forfeit.
Extensions
Extensions are discouraged; however, they will be considered under the following guidelines:
1. The request for an extension must be made by 5:00 pm on the day of the deadline of 5:00 pm on Friday for weekend deadlines. Any requests after the deadline will not be considered for review.
