Intramural Sports Fantasy Football Rules
Intramural Sports Fantasy Football Rules Rules can be modified at the discretion of the Assistant Director of Intramurals and Sport Clubs.
Rule 1: Eligibility A participant may be a Southern Illinois University student taking a minimum of four credit hours. The Department of Recreational Sports and Services defines a student as any individual who is currently enrolled at SIU and is registered with the university registrar. Students taking four or more credit hours automatically pay the Recreational Sports student fee and therefore, do not need to purchase a membership. The following people are eligible to participate after acquiring the appropriate Recreational Sports membership for the semester in which they intend to participate: • Southern Illinois University student taking less than four credit hours • Spouse of a student or a faculty or staff member • Faculty or staff member of SIU. The Department of Recreational Sports and Services defines faculty and staff as all current faculty and staff, as well as visiting professors at SIU who are paid through the university payroll department. • Affiliate of the department (alumni, other recognized affiliate groups) To participate in any intramural activity, all participants must show a valid Southern Illinois University issued identification card. Acceptable identification cards are limited to SIU identification cards, and Recreational Center membership cards. An SIU ID card/DawgTag must include the following information and be clearly visible to be considered valid: the individual’s name, photograph, and identification number. Identification cards that do not have one or more of these requirements will not be accepted and the individual will not be allowed to play. Misuse of an identification card (borrowing, lending, counterfeiting, altering, etc) is a violation of the Southern Illinois University Student Code of Conduct. The identification card will be confiscated and the individual attempting to use the card will be ineligible to participate. If the card belongs to another student, that student must meet with a professional staff member to regain possession of their identification card.
