1.
Types of competition-
Team sports are offered in round-robin format with a double or
single elimination tournament. Individual/dual sports are offered
in round-robin format as well as in self-scheduled challenge
formats. Special events are offered as one or two day tournaments.
2.
Team Sports-
Regular season play is in pool play format. The pools consist of
five or more teams depending on the number of entries. Each pool
plays a round-robin format where each team plays everyone in its
pool. Teams that do not receive forfeits out of the regular
season advance to playoffs, no matter what their records, to
determine the overall champion. Playoffs will consist of a
double or single elimination tournament.
For
sports with greater team participation; (Basketball, Flag Football,
Softball, etc.) an extra round of pool play may be used to narrow
the field of teams.
3.
Playoff Seeding-
Seeding is determined by a combination of factors: the number of
teams in the pool, the number of overall entries, win-loss record
for the number of contests played, number of points for and against,
and head to head competition. In the event that two or more teams
have the same record, their official order of finish will be
determined by the following criteria:
A.
If a
two-way tie exists, it will be determined by who beat whom in
head-to-head competition.
B.
If a
three-way tie exists, it will be decided as follows:
1.
If there is a forfeit, the team that forfeits is dropped to
the lowest possible position among the tied teams.
2.
The difference between total points scored versus total
points allowed. For example: A defeated B 7-0, B defeated C
7-6, and C defeated A 13-6.
Team A Team
B Team C
7 0 0
7 6 7
6
13 7
6 13 6
__ __ __
__ __ __
13 13 7
13 19 13
DIFF=0 DIFF=
-6 DIFF= +6
Thus,
Team C finishes first, Team A finishes second, and Team B finishes
third. All games will be considered, not just the head to head
games.
4. Team Names and Uniforms-
- All
members of a team must wear matching jerseys/uniforms either
provided by the Department of Intramural Sports or purchased by
the team. If a team chooses to wear their own uniforms, the
uniforms must be the same color and have a legal number on the
front or back (see e).
- The
Department of Intramural Sports reserves the right to change
team names as necessary. Names must be consistent with good
taste and the guidelines in the Campbell University code of
conduct.
- Teams
wishing to purchase uniforms must receive prior approval of
their logo from the Intramural Sports department before
purchasing the jerseys. This includes "nick-names" on the
back. Uniforms must be consistent with good taste and with the
guidelines in the Campbell University code of conduct. Any
teams not following this rule will be required to wear jerseys
provided by the Intramural Sports staff.
- When
opposing teams wear the same color jerseys, a coin toss will
determine which team will wear the mesh jerseys provided by
Intramural Sports staff.
- Numbers
must be on the front, back, or both of any jersey. Numbers only
printed on the sleeve or anywhere else other than the front or
back are not allowed. The numbers must be permanently affixed
to the jersey (no tape). Only two digits are allowed, and all
digits must be 0-9 (no letters or numerical symbols like ∞, ∏,
√). Any jersey which does not conform will not be allowed
during a contest.
5.
Forfeit Deposit
One objective
of the Intramural Sports Department is to enhance the overall
satisfaction of its participants by reducing forfeits. To reduce
forfeits, the Intramural Sports Department will assess a forfeit
deposit to each team sport, individual event, and special event
(weekend tournaments). The forfeit deposit is due when the team
captain turns in the roster at the beginning of the season and will
be returned in full if the team or individual does not forfeit any
of their regular season or tournament games. The deposit will be
used to offset the cost of paying Intramural Sports workers who are
assigned to work games that are forfeited. A team will not be
charged if they default the contest, provided that is their teams’
first and only default.
If a team
cannot attend a mandatory captains meeting either before the season
or before the playoffs, they will lose $5.00 from their deposit,
which will not be refunded. It is the responsibility of the team
representative at the meeting to insure that the team is properly
checked in at these meetings.
Any refundable
deposits not picked up by May 31st of the corresponding
academic year will become non-refundable. The deposit is only
refundable to the original depositor.
After a team’s
first forfeit, they are required to pay the deposit before they can
resume play. Any team which forfeits by having poor sportsmanship
(receiving a 0 on their Sportsmanship rating) or forfeits due to an
ineligible participant will be required to pay the deposit before
their next contest. In all instances, if a team does not pay the
deposit or make arrangements with the Department of Intramural
Sports before their next contest, they will be dropped from
competition.
The deposit
structure is as follows:
Team Sports
$ 25.00
Individual/ Dual Sports $
10.00/$15.00
Special Events
up to $20.00
Note: some Special Events will have a non-refundable entry fee.
Team captains are allowed to transfer their forfeit deposit over to
another sport. However, if they are transferring a deposit to a new
team, that team's season must be completed. If the season is not
complete, the team must pay an additional forfeit deposit for the
second team in a different sport. If you are playing one sport in
multiple divisions (men's, women's, and Co-Rec) you must pay the
forfeit deposit for each division your team is participating in.
Examples: Team A plays flag football, finishes their season, then
signs up for pre-season basketball. You can transfer the deposit to
pre-season basketball.
Team A plays basketball, halfway through basketball season they sign
up for soccer...the team must pay an additional forfeit deposit for
soccer.
Team A plays
Co-Rec flag football, if they want to play men's flag football, they
must pay an additional forfeit deposit for men's flag football.

Forfeits and
Defaults
An objective of the
Intramural Sports Department is to enhance the overall satisfaction
of its participants by reducing forfeits. In an effort to try and
reduce forfeits, the Intramural Sports Department will assess a
forfeit deposit for each team sport, individual event, and/or
special event (weekend tournaments). The forfeit deposit is due
when the team captain turns in the roster at the beginning of the
season and will be returned in full if the team or individual does
not forfeit any of their regular season or tournament games. The
deposit will be used to offset the cost of paying Intramural Sports
workers who are assigned to work games that are forfeited. A team
will not be charged if they default the contest, provided that is
their teams’ first and only default.
If a team
cannot attend a mandatory captains meeting either before the season
or before the playoffs they will lose $5.00 from their deposit.. It
is the responsibility of the team representative at the meeting to
insure they are properly checked in at these meetings.
Any refundable
deposits not picked up by May 31st of the corresponding
academic year will be forfeited. The deposit is only refundable to
the original depositor.
After a team’s
first forfeit they are required to repay the deposit before they can
resume play. Any team which forfeits by having poor sportsmanship
(receiving a 0 on their Sportsmanship rating) or forfeits due to an
ineligible participant will be required to pay the required deposit
before their next contest. In all instances if a team does not pay
the deposit or make arrangements with the Department of Intramural
Sports before their next contest they will be ineligible for future
competition.
The deposit
structure is as follows:
Team Sports
$ 25.00
Individual/ Dual Sports $
5.00/$10.00
Special Events *
up to $20.00
*Some Special Events will have a non-refundable entry fee
Note:
Defaults are excused team absences in which they will not be charged
with a loss. The game may be made up if time permits. A forfeit is
an unexcused team absence in which the team will be charged with a
loss and game will not be made up. (Two defaults equal one forfeit
and you lose your forfeit deposit)
A team has 5 minutes after their assigned game time to appear
at the game site or field with the minimum number of players allowed
(see below). If a team fails to do so, the field supervisor will
declare the contest a forfeit.
1. All teams with less than two regular season forfeits are eligible
to advance to playoffs if they meet the sportsmanship criteria. Any
team that forfeits in tournament play will be disqualified.
2. If a team anticipates a problem fielding the minimum number
of required players (please see each sports’ rules for the exact
number), they should contact the Intramural Sports office. If the
team needing players contacts the Intramural Sports office before
12:00 pm on game day, they will be issued a default instead of a
forfeit. Notification after 12:00 pm will be considered a forfeit.
Note two defaults = one forfeit and loss of forfeit deposit.
3. Once
a forfeit has been declared the game will not be played. THERE ARE
NO EXCEPTIONS.
4. A
team may be charged with a default instead of a forfeit and will not
lose their deposit if they show up at the field ready to play. The
number required to avoid a forfeit and still be credited with a
default will be outlined on each sport’s information sheet. This
number will generally be one to two persons fewer than the minimum
number required to participate.

from a team can attend the meeting, the team captain must make
arrangements within 24 hours of the captain’s meeting in order to
participate in the sport or event.
If a team
cannot attend a mandatory captains meeting either before the season
or before the playoffs they will lose $5.00 from their deposit which

has been fulfilled. In the event that this occurs that person will
sit out their determined number of games in men’s or women’s. This
policy covers any suspensions incurred in men’s, women’s, and co-rec.
However if there are no remaining games in that sport the suspension
will be carried over into the next event that player participates
in.
6. The Game
Official or Intramural Sports staff member immediately responsible
for a contest has the authority to declare it over before completion
if in his/her judgment, continued play might be dangerous to
participants. He/She may charge one or both teams with a forfeit.
- Sportsmanship Rating
After each contest, each official
will rank the participating teams/participants on their
sportsmanship towards the opposing individuals, officials,
scorekeepers, other Intramural Sports employees, and participants
during that contest. Those scores will be averaged together, giving
a team one score for each game. These rankings will be kept
throughout the entire regular season and will determine a team’s
eligibility for the post-season tournament. The Department of
Intramural Sports reserves the right to review scores at any time.
If at any time a team has any questions about their sportsmanship
score, they may come by the Intramural Sports office, Room 218 of
the Natatorium, to inquire about their rating. Questions should not
be addressed to the official, scorekeepers, or supervisors at the
field.
- Determining your rating
Teams will be rated on a scale of
0-5 with five being “very good” and a zero being “extremely poor”
sportsmanship. Teams will need to achieve an average rating of 3.25
or higher to continue into the post-season tournament. The
Department of Intramural Sports reserves the right to review scores
at any time. Please see below for an in-depth explanation of each
score
5 – Very Good
Team shows respect for Intramural
Sports employees, other participants, the opposing team, and
spectators. To achieve this rating, no complaining with the
officials is expected.
4 – Good
Team shows respect for Intramural
Sports employees, other participants, the opposing team, and
spectators but may show signs of poor sportsmanship including but
not limited to complaining with officials and the opposing team, or
negative interaction with spectators. To achieve this rating,
little or no complaining with the officials is expected.
3 – Acceptable
Constant complaining that may or may
not warrant an unsportsmanlike player conduct foul, technical foul,
yellow card, etc, or participating in a sport which does not have
these fouls during one contest, may result in a score of three. A
three is automatically given if a team receives one unsportsmanlike
player conduct foul, technical foul, yellow card, etc, during one
contest. If a team receives one of these infractions, they can
score no higher than a three.
2 – Poor
A two is automatically given if a
team receives two unsportsmanlike player conduct fouls, technical
fouls, yellow cards, etc, during one contest. Or, team receives one
unsportsmanlike player conduct foul, technical foul, yellow card,
etc. Team also shows little respect for Intramural Sports
employees, other participants, the opposing team, and spectators but
may show signs of poor sportsmanship including but not limited to
complaining with officials and the opposing team, negative
interaction with spectators. Team continually argues with officials
in a disrespectful manner.
1—Very Poor
A one is given if a team receives
two unsportsmanlike player conduct fouls, technical fouls, yellow
cards, etc, during one contest. In order to score a one the team
must continues to show a blatant disregard of respect for Intramural
Sports employees, other participants, the opposing team and
spectators. Shows signs of extremely poor sportsmanship including
but is not limited to excessive complaining with officials and the
opposing team extremely negative interaction with spectators or
taunting other participants and spectators. Team excessively argues
with officials in a disrespectful manner.
0—Extremely Poor
Team receives three unsportsmanlike
player conduct fouls, technical fouls, yellow cards, etc, during one
contest. Team will automatically receive a forfeit for that contest
and lose their deposit.
Any team receiving a score lower
than three will be informed of their score. At that time, the team
will be responsible for setting up an appointment with the
intramural sports office before their team plays their next
contest. If the team does not make an attempt to meet with the
intramural sports office before their next contest further
disciplinary actions may result.
Team captains are responsible for
the behavior of any of their team members. If one team member is
causing problems during the contest, it is the responsibility of the
team captain to control that participant.
Teams are responsible for the
behavior of their spectators. A team’s sportsmanship rating can be
effected by the behavior of their spectators.
This policy is
subject to review and change by the Department of Intramural Sports
at any time.
Back to top
FIGHTING
Any players ejected for
fighting will be reported to the Vice President of Student
Life. The Department of Intramural Sports will conduct a hearing to
determine the severity of the incident and will levy suspensions
and/or forfeitures as necessary. Examples: a player leaving the
bench during an altercation will be ejected for the remainder of
that contest and for the team’s next game. If a player throws a
punch: this includes any act which is deemed by Intramural
Sports staff as intent to harm another individual (participant,
spectator, Intramural Sports employee). This includes pre or
post game altercations. Offending players will be ejected for the
remainder of that contest and a MINIMUM of at least the
team’s next two games, depending on the severity of the
altercation. Players will also automatically be sent to the Vice
President of Student Life.
Suspended
players will be suspended from all Intramural Sports’ activities
until their suspension is fulfilled within the sport that the
suspension was levied. Example: if a player has been ejected from a
men’s basketball game and has a softball game the next day, the
player may NOT participate in the softball game until the one game
suspension is fulfilled in basketball. Players cannot sit out Co-Rec
activities in the same sport in order to fulfill their suspension.
If a player is
ejected from his or her last Intramural Sports’ contest for a
particular sport, he or she will serve their suspension in the next
Intramural Sports’ activity that he or she participates. For
example if a participant is ejected in the last basketball game of
the year they must sit out the required number of games in softball
before they are eligible to participate.
Protests
1. Official's Judgment: Questions as to an official's judgment
are not valid grounds for protest.
Rule (s) Interpretation:
- If a rule
interpretation question is raised, it is the responsibility of
the captain of the offended team to immediately bring it to an
official's or supervisor's attention before the ball becomes
live and/or play resumes.
- If this
attention does not resolve the issue, the captain must
immediately declare to the official that the game is being
played "under protest". Before the game continues, all
pertinent information (i.e. score, time remaining) will
be written on the back of the scorecard. The game will be
completed under protest.
Eligibility
protests:
- If a team
suspects their opponents of using an illegal player, the team
captain must inform the field/court supervisor of the situation
before the contest.
- The
protesting captain will then advise the captain of the other
team of his/her concerns before the allegedly ineligible player
plays.
Administrative
Protest
Should
instances of eligibility violations come to the attention of any
member of the Intramural Sports staff in the course of administering
the program (other than a formal written protest), an investigation
will be conducted, a ruling made, and the involved parties informed.
Once a ruling has been
made that a player is ineligible, that player is disqualified from
that activity for the remainder of the activity.
Filing a Protest
No rule
interpretation or eligibility protest will be considered which fails
to adhere to the following procedures.
1. The captain
must submit a formal written protest (typed/single spaced) to the
Intramural Sports office by noon the next day. The protest must be
hand delivered, not via e-mail. The written protest must clearly
specify what is being protested.
2. A hearing
will be held in a timely manner to rule on the situation. All
pertinent information will be heard by members of the Intramural
Sports staff, representatives from both teams, officials involved in
the contest, any other necessary participants, and possibly the
Director of Campus Recreation. The Department of Intramural Sports
can obtain information from any source to resolve the situation.
Sources may include experts in particular sports, rulebooks
governing a particular sport, and information from the registrar
and/or business office.
3. In the
event that a rule interpretation protest is upheld, the game/contest
will be picked up from the point the game was stopped. If the
protest is denied, the game will be considered an official game.
The decision reached at the meeting will be final.
4. In the
event that an eligibility protest is upheld, the team using the
illegal player will be charged with a forfeit.
During
tournament play, all rule interpretation protests will be dealt with
at the time of the incident. The decision reached at this time will
be final for all tournament games. For tournament games, all
eligibility protests will be handled in a timely manner, as soon as
rosters and score sheets can be verified.
IX.
Decisions
Decisions and/or penalties involving eligibility questions,
protests, and sportsmanship problems will be made by the Department
of Intramural Sports (and/or any committee as designated) following
consultation with the parties involved if necessary. Penalties
may include probation or temporary/permanent suspension from the
program. Appeals may be directed to the Director of Campus
Recreation
