Intramurals

True sportsmanship is essential to keeping the ideal recreational surroundings of intramural sports.

Rules and Policies

All intramural contributors and spectators are expected to conduct themselves in a civil and caring manner at all times. Behavior that promotes intolerance or prejudice, degrades any racial, ethnic, gender or spiritual group, infers a specific sexual reference, or promotes unfavorable behavior is considered disrespectful to the participants and the College. Contributors or spectators under the influence of alcohol or different substances will be asked to leave the playing area and subject to COC charges.

Team captains are responsible for sharing the following information with all team members.

Team Rosters and College ID Requirements

All players participating in any intramural event will be required to show a Maritime College ID prior to participation in each intramural game/event. Those unable to produce a valid ID will not be allowed to participate, no exceptions. Any student found misusing an ID for participation in intramural sports may be suspended from all intramural events for a period of up to one year.

Player Eligibility

Any team found using a player participating under a fictitious name or ID will forfeit all games in which that player is participating under the fictitious name or ID. The player using an improper ID, the player providing the ID to be used illegally, and team captain may also be suspended from future Intramural activities.

  • Only full-time undergraduate Maritime College students are eligible for competition.

  • A player may be a member of no more than two men's/women's team in a sport in a season. After entering two contests with a team, the player may not play a third game on the same day. Once an individual plays on a third team, he/she is ineligible for all further competition on any team in that sport (M, W, and C). Any team using ineligible players will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player(s) played.

  • Any student who was a member of a team in an NCAA Division 3 sport should be mindful of participation while they're in season. The intramural program recommends student-athletes of Maritime College not participate while their sport is in season.

Joining a Sport

Joining a sport can be done in several ways.

creating a team

Captains can invite members to their team by clicking the "Invite Members" link on the team page. Any invited members must accept the invitation to be joined to the team.

Captains can search for the names of individuals who are registered on IMLeagues and invite them to join a team. If an individual is not registered on IMLeagues, the captain can "Invite by Email Address."

joining a team

To join a team, use the "Create/Join Team" button at top right of every page. Find the team and captain name on the division/league page and request to join. You can also go to the captain's player card page, view the team and request to join. Finally, you can join a team by accepting a request from the captain to join his team. Another way to join a team is as a free agent.

Officials

Official's calls are final and there is no tolerance for arguing, harassing or questioning the calls of officials. 

Player First Offense: officials may give a warning with or without a penalty or if extreme, immediate ejection from game.

Player Second Offense: automatic ejection from game and Student Activities Coordinator will decide if further game suspension or suspension for remainder of season is warranted. Ejected player must meet with Student Activities Coordinator in order to play remainder of season.

Only field/court captains may call a time out to speak with officials if there is a problem. Each team receives two time-outs. If there is a problem with officiating, captains should talk to the Student Activities coordinator.

Attempt at Risk

Note: Student Affairs staff reserves the right to modify the rules and policies any time to ensure the spirit of the game and safe participation.
