Sportsmanship Sportsmanship is a top priority of the Intramural Sports Program at The University of Kansas. Contest participants or spectators who choose to follow unsportsmanlike practices before, during, or after a contest, whether directed towards staff, an official, an opponent, or a spectator may be ejected from that contest. The contest official(s), Intramural Sports Supervisor, or a Recreation Services Staff member may administer the ejection at any point before, during, or after the contest. Players, coaches, or spectators ejected from any Intramural Sports contest for any reason must leave the playing facility immediately after providing their contact information, and are barred from all Intramural Sports activities until officially reinstated by the Intramural Sports Coordinator. Furthermore, the ejected person will immediately have their Recreation Services membership suspended until he/she meets with the Intramural Sports Coordinator or designee. More information on Sportsmanship, including the detailed rating system, can be found in the Intramural Sports Policies and Procedures.
Eligibility All participants are expected to know the eligibility of all member of their team, and to ensure all participants meet eligible criteria. Eligibility criteria is explained in the Intramural Sports Policies and Procedures.
Play-By-Date Format This event will be administered as a Play-By-Date format. This means, beginning on the first day of the tournament, you are responsible for getting in contact with your opponent to schedule your match a time that is mutually agreed upon. Contact information may be found on IMLeagues.com. Please note that the date and time that will be listed on the bracket for your contest is the deadline to have played and have submitted the results to our office. It is the winning team’s responsibility to submit the score from the contest to the Intramural Sports Office via email (
[email protected]) by the date and time listed. Failure to submit a match result may result in both teams being removed from the tournament. After all matches have been reported from each round, the bracket will advance and you will be given a new opponent.
Forfeits/Defaults Teams forfeiting games will be charged a Forfeit Fine. This fine will be charged to the team captain, and they will be ineligible to compete in any Intramural Sports event until this fine is paid.
