CONDUCT OF PARTICIPANTS & SPECTATORS
The purpose of the Intramural Sports is to provide exercise, diversion, and fun to participants in a relaxed, yet structured, environment.
All actions and comments, whether to officials, supervisors, participants or spectators should be constructive, if offered at all.
The following guidelines for participants and spectators should assist teams in reinforcing a sportsperson-like atmosphere:
Participants and spectators are expected to behave in a cooperative, positive manner which contributes to the IM philosophy of the Spirit of Competition.
Each team is responsible for the conduct of their team members and spectators before, during and after the contest.
All vulgar, obscene, abusive, derogatory and demeaning comments or gestures create a hostile environment, generate ill-will and contribute to a negative intramural experience. THIS BEHAVIOR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
All instances of unnecessary roughness, attempting to injure another person, threatening another person, provoking an altercation or fighting will result in severe disciplinary action.
Participants and spectators are expected to comply with the request and directions of all intramural personnel in a respectful pleasant manner.
The consumption of alcoholic beverages or drugs is not allowed at intramural activities. Person(s) will be asked to leave the facility.
The role of the spectators is to provide support and encouragement which is beneficial to the participants, the game and intramural sports.
Spectators must remain in their designed areas and may not encroach on the playing area.
Individuals and teams that violate these guidelines will be disciplined at the discretion of the Officials, Scorekeepers, Supervisors and the Competitive Sports Coordinator.
Teams may be penalized for the actions of their spectators as well as their team members.
Intramural sports reserve the right to refuse service to any participant who violates any policy or procedure, or engages in any verbal and/or physical abuse of the intramural sports staff or participant.
FIGHTING (3rd Person in Rule)
Under no circumstances will fighting be tolerated.
If two players are caught fighting and a 3rd person jumps in, regardless of which team he/she is with, then the game is automatically declared a double forfeit for both teams.

No jewelry is allowed to be worn while playing any Intramural sports. This includes but is not limited to watches, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and other body piercings.

If a guest is deemed to also be under the influence, he/she will be asked to leave the premises.
CHANGES TO LEAGUE SCHEDULE
Schedules are generally posted the day after your game.
Please be aware the all games are 1 hour long.
If you have a preferred time this is what you need to do each week,
Let the supervisor know after your game or email us after your game with the preferred time you wish to play, so that we can do our best to accommodate your team.
We will do our best to accommodate your team during the regular season, but come playoffs we can't guarantee you a preferred time.
Once the schedule is posted we will not be able to change it.
PROTEST
If a team feels that an official has misrepresented a rule or suspect that their opponents are using an ineligible player, the team must lodge a protest immediately.
The protest must be made by the team captain verbally to the official and the on-site supervisor and every effort should be made to resolve the problem at that time.
If a team is dissatisfied with the on-site ruling, a formal protest must be filed.
All formal protests must be made in writing and the protesting team should record the game situation (officials, score, time remaining, outs, etc.) and must be submitted to the Intramural Sports Office know later than 24 hours after the game.
Protests may not be made on judgement calls (out/safe, in/out, block/charge, etc.).
Ruling on protest will be made by the Competitive Sports Coordinator.
