Frequently Asked Questions

Intramural Sports are sports leagues, tournaments and events offered for students, faculty, and staff at WSSU.

Intramural Sports registration is on-going throughout the fall and spring semesters. Check the calendar for the deadline of the sport/event that you are interested in playing.

Any WSSU student, faculty, staff or current member of UREC may participate. A current Ram Card or UREC ID card must be must presented each time you participate.

Ask other students in your residence hall, classes and clubs if they would like to participate. If you cannot find a team, use the Free Agent section of IMLeagues.com.

All sports are currently offered at no charge.

Yes, if the sport is offered as Co-Rec (CR) and single gender (M/W), then you may play in the league of your gender and the co-rec league.

• Creating a team account after logging in to IMLeagues.
• Attend all captains meetings
• Notify team members of scheduled games (date, location, and time).
• Be familiar with all rules and see that his/her team is aware of these rules.
• Make an effort to ensure his/her team members play according to the rules of the game and conduct themselves appropriately.
• Keep in touch with the Intramural Sports staff for pertinent Intramural Sports information.
• Check to make sure all players are on the roster prior to their last regular season game and make sure every player has played at least one regular season game in order to be eligible for post-season events.

Sportsmanship rating will be given to teams after each contest by the Intramural Sports Supervisor and/or officials. These ratings reflect behavior before, during, and after the contest. These ratings will determine playoff eligibility and continuation of play during the season.

• All teams are eligible for playoffs as long as they have participated in regular season.
• Players must be on the roster sheet and have played in at least one regular season game prior to the playoffs to be eligible for playoff competition.
• Teams are required to have a positive sportsmanship rating to be eligible for the playoffs.

A forfeit is an automatic loss, determined by factors other than game play.  Teams will be removed from the league after 2 forfeitures

A forfeit will be assessed for the following reasons:

•  A team failing to show up at the appointed playing site, at the scheduled time, or did not notify the Intramural Office 24-hours in advance.
• Teams/player(s) guilty of poor sportsmanship behavior and conduct which cause the game to be discontinued.
• Use of ineligible players (the ineligible person will be suspended from participation on any team in that activity)

A default is a way of alleviating a forfeit.  Three defaults by the same team in one season will result in the removal from the scheduled league.

Teams will receive a default if they:

• Show up on time, but fail to have sufficient number of players to make it an official game.
• Notify the intramural office in advance that they cannot make a scheduled game.  If no notification has been received, the scheduled game is a forfeit.
• If, during the play of a game, a team (regardless if the team is winning or losing) falls below the minimum amount of players needed to continue (due to injuries, etc).
• Teams with insufficient rosters or ineligible players.

As a general rule, games will be played rain or shine. Only in the case of unsafe playing conditions (i.e. lightning, heavy snowfall, large amounts of standing water, extremely cold weather) will games be postponed and/or cancelled.

Intramurals will generally play scheduled games UNLESS the Intramural Office specifically states they have been postponed or cancelled. We recommend that you enter your cell phone number in IMLeagues so that we may text you if games are cancelled.

There are attire requirements for certain sports. Please check the rules for the sport you are playing.  In basketball and flag football, a team must wear matching colors with numbers. If a team does not have shirts with numbers, scrimmage jerseys will be available.

Yes. Any participant who does not have a RAM Card or UREC ID will not be allowed to play. Please visit the Ram Card Office in 203 Thompson to learn about replacement RamCards.

All ejected players must meet with the Assistant Director of Competitive Sports or a designee before he or she is permitted to participate in future Intramural Sports contests. Ejected players are prohibited from participating in any Intramural Sports contests until they have had their reinstatement meeting.
