officials Awards and recognition

The intramural officials' award system is incorporated to recognize certain officials in each sport and at the end of the year. Awards are given to officials in each sport who accumulate a certain number of points based on specific criteria. These officials are recognized with an intramural champion t-shirt with the sport official symbol placed below the champion logo.

Point totals will be kept by the intramural director. The top twenty percent point achievers in the sports of flag football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, softball, and inner tube water polo will receive the award. At the end of the year, special recognition is made to those ten officials accumulating the highest combination of points and hours throughout the year. The official with the greatest point total will receive the golden whistle award. The official with the highest number of hours worked will receive the iron whistle award. The Rookie of the Year award will be given to the first-year official with the highest point total.

These awards are intended to recognize those officials, who through a consistent and dedicated effort, have improved their own officiating and the overall quality of officiating for the Intramural program
