Sports Rules

Forfeit Policy:

  • If a team fails to appear with the required minimum number of players, ready to play, at the scheduled location at the scheduled start of the game, a member of the Intramural Sports Staff will declare the contest a forfeit. 
  • Teams that forfeit will receive an ‘F’ for sportsmanship and will be required to pay $15 to the Recreational Sports Office prior to the registration of any other intramural sports teams. 
  • Teams are only allowed one forfeit per sport per season.  If a team forfeits twice, it will be removed from the league for the remainder of the season.

Default Policy:

  • If a team knows that they will be unable to play a scheduled game, the Team Captain must contact the Intramural Sports Office by 12:00 PM the day of the contest to declare a default. 
  • The defaulting team will receive a loss and a ‘B’ for sportsmanship.  There is no re-entry fee for a default. 
  • Teams will be allowed one default per sport; upon the second default, teams will be removed from the league.
