Divisions of Play

• Faculty/Staff
  Working in any department or college of the University are eligible to participate in all intramural events and will remain eligible until they no longer work for the University or fail to comply with the policies and procedures set forth in this handbook. Faculty and staff members must also be recreation permit holders.


• Mixed
  Divisions where students, faculty and staff play on one team together. Rosters must be made up of a 60/40 ratio of students to faculty/staff or 60/40 faculty/staff to students. In other words, with a roster of 10, six must be students and four faculty/staff OR six faculty/staff and four students. Faculty and staff members must also be recreation permit holders.
  

• Men
  The men's division is open to all participants who are male students, faculty or staff of the University. There is no 60/40 faculty/staff to student ratio requirement for these divisions. Faculty and staff members must also be recreation permit holders.


• Women
  The women's division is open to all participants who are female students, faculty or staff of the University. There is no 60/40 faculty/staff to student ratio requirement for these divisions. Faculty and staff members must also be recreation permit holders.

• Co-Rec
  The coed division is open to all men and women participants who are students, faculty or staff of the University. There is no 60/40 faculty/staff to student ratio requirement for these divisions. There is usually a minimum requirement for the amount of females on a team. Check with each sports' rules for their specific requirements. All co-rec is carefree.

Levels of Play

• Advanced/Power
  Skill level is at that of at least high school varsity. No specific number of males and females.
  
  
• Carefree
  Playing is just for fun and winning is not as important as playing the game.

Fees and Deposits

• Individual and team activities have guarantee-of-appearance deposits in most cases. (examples: racquetball tournament $1.00; basketball $40.00 per team)
• Team deposits ($40.00 per team) are partially refunded ($10.00) if a team fulfills its obligation to appear on time for scheduled games. Forfeiture of one contest will result in the loss of $5.00 from a team's refund and a second forfeiture will result in the loss of the team's total refund. A team forfeiting more than two games is removed from its conference.
