Intramural Team Deposit, Refund and Award Policy
Team Deposit
Teams wishing to participate in an Intramural event are required to submit a
Guarantee of Appearance per team deposit of $40.00 (per team) to the Recreation
and Intramural Services' Office at 130 Alumni Arena, when entering their team's
roster into a Conference. The $30.00 represents that team's roster commitment to
appear on time at all scheduled contests. The team captain or manager will be
given a receipt that will indicate a refund pickup period. You MUST present your
ORIGINAL RECEIPT when picking up your refund during the stated period.
*Bowling Guarantee of Appearance is $90.00 per team.
Team Refund and Refund Pickup Period
Of the $40.00 submitted for Conference entry, $30.00 is used for Officials and
championship awards and $10.00 is returned to the participating team provided they
have fulfilled their scheduled obligations by appearing on time at all contests.
If a team fails to appear for a contest or does not have enough players, they are
given a forfeit. A team that forfeits one contest will lose $5.00 of the refund.
If the same team forfeits a second contest no refund will be given.
Team refund pickup period is a two-week period (10 weekdays) after the last
official day of classes in the semester in which your team participated. The
original receipt must be presented to pick up a refund. The refund pickup period
deadline will be strictly adhered to because of deposit guidelines.
(NO REFUNDS ARE GIVEN ON SATURDAY/SUNDAY'S).

The Intramural Spirit of Play
"Team sport activities find their origin in the basic human need for the spirit
of play. Winning and losing are mere outcomes of this play spirit. Abusive language
towards officials and manipulation of the rules are "not part of the game." What is
part of the game is the pure satisfaction of participation, getting fit and enhancing
friendships. Without your opponent, you have no game, no contest, and no fun. You are
indebted to them, as they are to you. The spirit of play then is based on cooperation.
Upholding high standards of integrity and fair play acknowledges this idea of cooperative
play. All players are encouraged to exercise good judgment in caring for the safety of
others as well as themselves. At the University at Buffalo an intentional foul is considered
cheating and a gross offense against the spirit of play. The goal of lifetime sports for
all players may have more meaning that that of a win or loss, the memory of which often
fades quickly. All players are asked to participate within the context of this spirit of
play." |
