This handbook is designed to provide participants in the Intramural Sports Program with an informative resource concerning the policies and procedures for individual and team participation. The Office of Intramural Sports urges each participant to become familiar with the information contained in this handbook prior to participation and to consult this reference in the event a question arises. It is the responsibility of each participant and team to know the existing intramural rules, policies, and procedures and to comply with these dur-ing intramural participation.

DIVISIONS OF COMPETITION
Most sports will be conducted in three separate divisions for Men’s and Women’s play: Greek/Organization, Res Halls and Independent. The divisional separations are followed in order to present an avenue for everyone to participate and to schedule competitions according to organizational interest. Greek/Organization—See Intramural Points Competition The Greek division will include teams comprised of social organizations registered by the Office of Greek Life and recognized by the Inter-Fraternity and Pan-Hellenic Councils and teams comprised of all organizations other than Greek which must be registered with the Organizations Office. Each team member must be a current, active member of his/her organization to be eligible to participate in this division. No new member is eligible to represent his/her organization until his/her name officially appears on the official new mem-ber list on Orgsync.com. If a member of a team discontinues affiliation with an organization during a sport’s season, he/she may finish the remainder of the schedule, but will not be eligible for future competitions with that organization. Independent Independent division teams may consist of any eligible student and faculty/staff personnel and do not require any organizational affiliation. Participants who are ineligible to compete in Greek or Organizations Intramural Point Competition divisions may compete within this division. The Independent division will also include Co-Rec leagues consisting of teams made up of a combination of both men and women participants. Some Co-Rec activities have rule/regulations modifications that have been developed to provide for a positive playing experience for all participants.
14
TEAM CAPTAINS
Each team interested in any intramural activity must have a team captain who will act as the official liaison between the team and the Office of Intramurals. It is the team captain’s responsibility to turn in his/her entry form at the specified time, check the eligibility of each of his/her players before and during the season, and keep his/her team informed of rules, policies, and regulations governing each sport. Information sent out by Office of Intramurals should be read with care and followed with appropriate action. Each captain MUST see that the members of his/her team are given the opportunity to read all pertinent information. It is a team captain’s responsibility to: 1. Organize the team and enter it into com-
petition before the entry deadline.

SCHEDULING FORMATS
League Sports Most team sports are scheduled into leagues by male, female and co-rec. IPC and Independent divisions will be merged together for maximum game opportu-nities. League sports consist of a regular season schedule followed by a single-elimination tournament. The availability of leagues within each division will be based on the number of teams entered. In the event there are not enough entries to form a specific league, some leagues will be combined.
Regular Season
Schedules for regular season play will be based on the number of teams
entered, availability of facilities, and the time allotted for the activity.
Schedules will be in a round robin format.
Playoffs
Eligible teams, based on team record, league standing, and sportsmanship rating, will advance to single-elimination post-season play. In case of ties and it is necessary to eliminate teams for a playoff series or tour-nament, the following tie-breaker format will be used: 1) Forfeits 2) Head/Head 3) Sportsmanship Ratings 4) Point Differential. Tournaments will be held for each league. The number of teams that advance to each league tournament will depend on the availability of facilities.
The winning teams from each Men’s and Women’s league tournaments
will advance to the All-Campus Championships.
Tournament Sports Individual/dual sports and various team sports are scheduled into tournaments based on the number of entries and organizational affiliation. In the event there are not enough entries to form a desired league or competition level, some leagues will be combined. Tournament sports consist of a double-elimination or single-elimination format. Sched-ules for tournament play will be based on the number of entries, availability of facilities, and the time allotted for the activity. See the Intramural Sports semester schedule for each sport for specific information. Extramural Qualifier Tournaments These tournaments are conducted before the flag football and basketball seasons for teams interested in qualifying to participate in the extramural regional tournaments hosted by other universities. Teams placing first in each league will be given the opportunity to represent Lamar University at the respective NIRSA NCS regional tournament. Qualifying teams will have the tournament’s entry fee paid for. Teams representing Lamar will pay for their own hotel and travel expenses. To be eligible: The teams sent are expected to have excellent conduct and be responsible during their time away while representing Lamar University, this includes behavior in hotels and restaurants as well. All participants sent for Extramurals must have a 2.0 grade point average to travel and must not be from a team that had a 0.0 sportsmanship grade in the qualifier tournament, must have conducted satisfactory sportsmanship during the qualifier tournament and current season and meet the requirements of the tournament they will be competing in.
17
RESCHEDULING GAMES
In the event that a team/individual needs/wants to reschedule a competition, contact the Intramural offices ASAP. There is no guarantee a game will be rescheduled, but we will do everything in our efforts to accommodate our participants and their needs. A request to reschedule a contest will be considered valid and approved if it concerns a conflict which involves a MAJORITY of all the team members. Valid reasons include, but are not limited to: 1. Absence of team members as a result of a scheduled school function. 2. Absence of team members as a result of a death/funeral. Common requests for rescheduling that are NOT considered valid include: 1. Group social functions 2. Organizational or house meetings 3. Conflict with another intramural sports activity or game 4. Absence of two or three team members or the “starters.” Remember, teams can have a full squad of players on your roster in these situations.
A scheduled contest may be rescheduled only through the agreement of both teams and the Intramural Sports Program. Please keep in mind that your opponent must agree to postpone and reschedule a contest and that simply requesting to reschedule a game does not guarantee that a contest will be rescheduled. If all parties involved cannot agree on a new time, then the originally scheduled contest time will stand. If two teams postpone or reschedule a scheduled game without the sanction of the Intramural Sports Program, both teams will be credited with forfeits. Tournament games must be played as scheduled. No postponements or rescheduling of tournament games will be considered. Intramural Sports Staff will determine when climatic conditions justify postponements and will contact team captains if these games are rescheduled. Please check IMLeagues for updates.
18
INCLEMENT WEATHER
Decisions concerning the cancellation of games due to inclement weather will be made as soon as possible on the day of the scheduled activity. Under normal circumstances, decisions will not be made until game time. Cancellations due to inclement weather are made to protect the safety of the participants and the condition of the playing fields.
DEFAULTS & FORFEITS
The object of any Intramural Sports program is to involve its participants in an active program. If a team forfeits a game, the objectives of the program are not met and students, faculty, and staff are deprived of active participation. It is with this principle in mind that the following rules governing defaults and forfeits have been made. Note: The following rules apply to regular season and post-season games, as well as to eligibility and support for Extramural regional and national tournaments. Defaults Any team or individual knowing in advance that they will not be able to play a regularly scheduled contest is provided the opportunity to default that contest. In order for a contest to be considered a default, the team captain OR individual must contact the Intramural Sports Office 24 hours in advance of their game time (by 3:00 PM on the previous Friday for Saturday and Sunday games). A loss will be assessed for the default, but a forfeit will be avoided. A team is permitted to default only ONE contest during a sport’s season. A second default will be treated as a forfeit and will result in any applicable penalties for a forfeited game Forfeits A forfeit will be assessed to an individual or team for the following reasons: A. Use of a player who is ineligible or participates under an assumed
name B. Nonappearance at a scheduled contest (not having the minimum # of Players by game time) C. Unsportsmanlike conduct If two teams forfeit, the team with the most players signed in will be credited with the win. But a forfeit fee must still be paid.
19
A forfeit may be declared if an individual or team fails to have the minimum number of players required to start the game at the scheduled game time. Game time is forfeit time!! The opposing team or player will get the win. Teams and players that won by forfeit may use the Intramural field or court for practice or to scrimmage another team. They must leave the playing area when asked to give time for the next scheduled game’s, teams or players. Any team receiving a forfeit during the regular season loses a chance to advance to the playoffs. Any team receiving its second forfeit will automatically be dropped from further competition in that sport. Contests that are completed prior to a team being dropped from the league will remain offi-cial. Teams that forfeit must pay a $20 forfeit fee and individuals pay a $5 forfeit fee before they will be allowed to play their next game. If the forfeit occurs over the weekend where the team has more than one game, they may play the next game and must pay fee by the next Monday or forfeit both games. Forfeit payments are made online at: TEAM SPORTS $20: https://epay.lamar.edu/C20117_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=104&SINGLESTORE=true
INDIVIDUAL SPORTS $5: https://epay.lamar.edu/C20117_ustores/web/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCTID=152&SINGLESTORE=true Note: The Intramural Sports Coordinator reserves the right to allow or disallow participation in post-season play.
TEAM ROSTERS
A team’s official roster is the list of all team members who have played with that team in at least one regular season game (league sports) or one tournament game (tournament sports). The team’s roster will be created using those names and ID numbers of the participants at the first scheduled game. A player becomes a member of the official roster for that team once playing for that team.
An individual is not eligible to participate for any team unless his/her name appears on the roster for that team. A player’s name must appear on the official game sheet for that player to be considered a member of that team’s roster; therefore, it is important to be sure that each player signs in for each game with the Intramural Sports staff.
Players may be added to a roster before a game, but must be added on the IM-Leagues roster and have played in one game for that team before playoff time, to be eligible to play in a playoff game for that team.
A participant’s name may appear on only one Men’s/Women’s/CoRec roster within a division (independent or IPC) for each sport. Teams’ will be allowed to make additions to their roster until the playoffs. Players may sign up before a game as well. Once the regular season ends, all rosters are frozen.
20
Team captains are responsible for the members entered on their rosters and must be knowledgeable about all participant eligibility rules (see Participant Eligibility). The team captain is also responsible for inviting/accepting players to their teams on IMleagues.com. A team’s roster will be included on the score sheet and used to verify player eligibility at game time. All players must present a school id when signing in (LU or LIT). Helpful Hints
Be sure that participants sign in with the Intramural Staff with their School id for every game. A participant who shows up and checks in will be counted as having participated in that game, even if the game is a forfeit.
At each game, check for player names on the printed game sheet. These are the members on your current roster.
Inform your players to arrive 15 minutes earlier than game time to prevent Forfeits.
21
If a participant’s name does not appear on your roster and he/she has played with your team, contact the Intramural Sports Staff for assistance. There may be an issue with that player’s eligibil-ity.
A team may have no more than two (2) players on its roster who are members of a Sport Club, in that related Intramural Sport from an academic year. This includes Male/Female Clubs for CoRec Teams. (See Participant Eligibility)
PARTICIPANT ELIGIBILTY

PROTEST PROCEDURE
A team captain is permitted the opportunity to file a game protest in an effort to resolve a questionable game situation. A protest is considered valid in instances of rule interpretation and participant eligibility only. Often, a protest may be avoided through intelligent and constructive conversation among the team captains, officials, and Intramural staff. The following policies will serve as guidelines concerning the protest procedure:
1. All protests must deal with the
interpretation of a rule or enforcement of a penalty for the infraction of those rules. PLEASE NOTE THAT MATTERS INVOLVING AN OFFICIAL’S JUDGEMENT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PROTEST.
26
2. All protests, except those concerning eligibility, must be made on the field of play
directly to the supervisor at the time of the occurrence. Once play has resumed, the protest will not be valid.
3. If a question is raised concerning the proper interpretation of a rule, it is the responsibility of the team captain of the offended team to immediately ask the official for a clarification of the issue. This must take place before the ball again becomes live following the incident in question. 4. If the clarification does not resolve the issue, the team captain must
verbalize his/her intent to protest. In the event there are grounds for a protest, the game will be played under protest from that point forward. The Intramural Supervisor on duty will be notified that a protest has been made and will record all pertinent game information on the Protest Report at that time.
5. At the conclusion of the contest, the team captain must verify the
reason for the protest as recorded on the Protest Report. The protesting team must submit a written (typed) statement citing the specific rules misinterpreted and the protested situation to the Intramural Sports Office by 2:00 PM the next business day following the protested contest. Email to [email protected]
6. All protests during tournament play must be settled by the Intramural Supervisor at the time of protest. Player eligibility protests during the regular season must be filed by 2:00 pm the next business day. During tournament play, player eligibility protests must be filed by 12:00 PM the following day in the Intramural Sports Office or with the on-site Intramural Supervisor prior to the next scheduled game, whichever comes first. Note that any protest of eligibility will result in verification of eligibility for all members of the protesting team as well. 7. All protests will be reviewed for validity and clarity, and a ruling will be
made by the Intramural Sports Coordinator. An upheld protest involving rule interpretation will result in the game being replayed from the point of protest if necessary. Upheld player eligibility protests will result in a forfeit of the game in which the ineligible player competed.
27
A part of the philosophy of the Intramural Sports Program is that good sportsmanship is vital to the conduct of every contest.
Sporting contests are important to the participant, but the importance should not cause participants to lose sight of appropriate behavior. The playing field is not a venue for verbal or physical abuse for the players or spectators. As members of the campus community, students are expected to support the LU Student Conduct Code, including obeying national, state, and local laws, respecting the rights of members of the campus community, and accepting responsibility for the consequences of their behavior. Any violation of the Student Conduct Code is subject to disciplinary action by the university. In order to encourage proper conduct before, during, and after the scheduled contest, officials, supervisors, and Intramural staff will make decisions on whether to warn, penalize, or eject players, teams, and/or spectators for unsportsmanlike conduct. The team captain is responsible for the actions of any player on his/her team and for spectators directly related to that team. The conduct of all players and spectators before and after the game is as important as conduct during the game. Participants’ sportsmanship can affect your team’s eligibility for playoffs. All pre-season tournaments, scrimmage games, qualifier tournaments, and extramural events are Intramural Sports sponsored events and are subject to disciplinary action for participant conduct. Faculty/Staff Participation Faculty/Staff must demonstrate positive examples of behavior and professionalism when competing with students. Not doing so will suffer game suspension and possible indefinite suspension for future Intramural events. Sportsmanship Ratings At the conclusion of each game, officials and/or supervisors are required to assign a Sportsmanship Rating describing the sportsmanship displayed by each team. Teams may view their grades on IMLeagues.com, once the scores have been updated. This system will help in our effort to promote a positive experience for all Intramural participants who consistently display superior sportsmanship characteristics. Ratings will be awarded based on the following rating system. 4 , 3, 2, 1 & 0 with “0” representing poor sportsmanship, and “4” representing excellent sportsmanship. A team winning a game by forfeit will receive a rating of 4. A team losing a game by forfeit will receive a rating of 1. For defaulted games, a team winning will receive a 4 and the losing team will receive a 2.
IMPORTANT
A team must
maintain
an average
Sportsmanship Rating
of 2.50 or above to be
eligible for the playoffs.
SPORTSMANSHIP & CONDUCT
28
4 - Great Conduct and Sportsmanship Team/fans cooperate fully with the supervisors and officials and show respect for opposing team members. The Team Captain has full control of his/her teammates/fans. If the captain converses with the officials about rule interpretations and calls, he/she does so respectfully and calmly. A team winning a game due to a forfeit or default will receive an “4” sportsmanship rating. 3 - Good Conduct and Sportsmanship
Team/fans complain about some decisions and/or display minor dissent. These complaints may have been voiced verbally or non-verbally toward officials, opposing players or opposing fans. The Team Captain exhibits major control over teammates and him/herself.
2 - Average Conduct and Sportsmanship Team/fans (on or off the playing area) show continuous or sustained verbal dissent towards officials, supervisors, and/or the opposing team. The Team Captain exhibits minor control over teammates and him/herself. Teams that receive one unsportsmanlike penalty or behavioral technical foul during the game will receive no higher than a “2” rating. Each additional unsportsmanlike penalty will result in the grade being lowered by one letter grade. Poor behavior limited to individual/s, not to the entire team.
1 - Poor Conduct and Sportsmanship
Team/fans complain excessively to officials and/or the opposing team. The Team Captain exhibits little control over teammates and him/herself. For frequent use of profane or vulgar language.

Note that teams that have a player or coach ejected for any unsporting behavior will receive no higher than a “1” rating
0 - Unacceptable Conduct and Sportsmanship Team behavior is completely uncooperative and shows no respect for officials, staff, and/or opponents. The team captain displays no control over the actions of team members. Multiple penalties are given to a player, coach, or team spectator for unsportsmanlike behavior. A team member or spectator strikes/physically contacts an opponent or Intramural staff member. Team behavior warrants discontinuance of the game for any reason. Spectators clearly related to the team engage in disorderly conduct that violates university regulations or jeopardizes officials’ control of the game. The team shows willful disregard for the policies and/or property of Recreational Sports and Intramurals. A team receiving an “0” rating may face disqualification from the remainder of the season.

The nature and severity of the incident will be a determining factor of a team’s participation in the future.
EJECTIONS & MISCONDUCT
Participants and spectators that choose to display unsportsmanlike behavior before, during, or after a contest, whether directed toward an opponent or an official, may be ejected from that contest. A game official, Intramural supervisor or any member of Intramural Staff may administer the ejection.
