Intramural Sports Participant’s Guide

Intramural Program Overview and History

“Intramural,” Latin for “within the walls.” For over 10 years, Sacramento State’s Intramural Sports Program has
provided opportunities “within the walls” of Sacramento State for all of its students and regular faculty and staff
to participate in organized recreational competition. This program strives to offer the university community
structured leagues and tournaments in a diverse array of activities including but not limited to basketball, flag
football, tennis, golf, volleyball and indoor/outdoor soccer. Each event is presented under the simple philosophy
that an Intramural program should be fun, fair and safe.

Any active member of The WELL is eligible to participate in an Intramural Sport contest. This includes current
students, University Faculty, University Staff and Sacramento State University alumni.

HOW TO REGISTER
Interested participants may register a team online at www.imleagues.com/thewellsacstate or at the Intramural
Resource Center (IRC) located across from the Gym Box in The WELL during our hours of operation. Individuals
looking to join a team may come to the IRC to sign up based on individual availability. Teams are placed in leagues

LEVELS OF PLAY
Our Intramural Sports activities are broken down into Men’s, Women’s, Greek, Co-Rec and Open leagues. Within
each league, players may only participate with one organization or team in any sport during the same season.

PLAYING ON ONE TEAM
A participant may play on only one men’s/women’s team and additionally only one co-rec team. Once a
participant plays for a team, he/she may not switch to a different team. Any participant found playing on two
or more teams (i.e. two men’s, two women’s or two co-rec teams) will automatically be removed from any team
on which they have been found to be playing except for their initial team and any game the participant played in
illegally will result in a forfeit. Intramural Office will enforce this policy without exception. It is the captain’s
responsibility to make sure all players on his/her team are only participating on one team.

inform his/her team of all rules, regulations, and procedures.

Basic responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
a) Registering the team into the league/event

It is each team captain’s responsibility to ensure that all team members are registered for the team on
IMleagues.com. Players that are not registered on IMleagues.com must be registered prior to participating in a
match. A player may be added to a team’s IMleague.com account prior to any game given there is an open
roster spot. Medical paperwork stating a person is no longer capable of physical activity is the only reason a
person will be removed from a roster and is at the discretion of the Intramural Staff. Each team’s roster will be
frozen following their last regular season game. During playoffs, a participant must be listed on that team’s
master roster and have played at least one regular season game to be eligible for playoffs. Each sport may have
additional limitations on rosters.

teammates and opponents. Jerseys/shirts with one or two-digit numbers on the front or back are required in
both soccer and basketball.

Gray shirts/jerseys will not be allowed. Prior to game time, the Intramural Sports Supervisor, in conjunction
with the game officials will determine if conflict exists regarding jersey colors. If a gray jersey is identified, that
individual will need to find an alternative option that matches their team’s color of either white or dark. They
will not be allowed to play in a gray jersey.

provide their Sac State OneCard to an official in order to participate. The player’s identity will be verified and
jersey number noted on the scorecard. All players listed on the scorecard and verified before the contest will be
considered participants in that contest. Should a player not be verified, that player will be considered as an
ineligible player.

the following:

 Proof of current enrollment

member.

All Intramural Sports contests will be played as scheduled. In the case of inclement weather, the Intramural
Office will contact the team captains via email and/or phone notifying them if the game is postponed. If you do
not receive a phone call from an Intramural Sports staff member, show up at the site and be prepared to play. If
contests are not played due to bad weather or bad field conditions, Intramural Sports will not make up the first
canceled game. Intramural Sports will try to make up any additional cancellations. Please keep in mind that
make up matches will be based on how much available sunlight, good weather, and time left in the semester
there is.
LIGHTNING POLICY
Play will stop if lightning is detected in the area. All participants must leave the playing area and seek shelter
until the Supervisors deem the area safe to play. Games will resume 30 minutes after the last lightning strike
has been detected.

Forfeits & Defaults

Protests & Appeals

Questions pertaining to interpretation of rules on the part of game officials must be addressed by the intramural
supervisor at the time the interpretation occurs and prior to the restart of play. The procedure shall be:

 If a team feels the official has made a misinterpretation or misapplication of a rule, the captain shall
calmly and immediately inform the official that he or she wishes to have a ruling on the interpretation
by the intramural supervisor in charge.

 No protest, which involves the judgment of the official(s), shall be considered. The judgment of the
official(s) is final.

 If corrections are necessary, the intramural supervisor shall rule immediately.
 If the participant still does not agree with the decision at the game site or a supervisor is not

immediately available, the contest will continue from this point “under protest” and the team captain
must complete a protest form immediately following the conclusion of the game.

Protests involving player eligibility must be called to the immediate attention of the intramural supervisor prior
to the completion of the contest while the protested individual is present. Eligibility protests may not be made
by participants after the completion of the contest. A protest form should be obtained from the intramural
supervisor and completed. The contest will continue from this point “under protest.”

Due to time constraints, protests during the playoffs will be decided by the Intramural Sports Supervisor on
duty. The decision of the Intramural Sports Supervisor is final and cannot be appealed.

League & Tournament Structure

Leagues will be structured in either 4, 6 or 11 week formats. Teams will play twice a week (except for Indoor
Soccer which only plays once a week) with games usually held on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and
Thursdays.

Teams which qualify for playoffs through regular season achievement and sportsmanship will be put into a
single or double elimination bracket in order to determine a champion for the sport.

Tournaments will typically be run as a one day or week long event. Based on the number of teams participating,
Tournaments will run in one of the following formats.

 A group stage with a single elimination playoff or championship game
 Single elimination tournament
 Double elimination tournament

PLAYOFF STRUCTURE
Teams winning their regular season division will automatically advance to the playoffs.

PLAYOFF SCHEDULING CONFLICTS
If a playoff team is scheduled to play a contest during a date and time different from their regular season
timeslot, and more than 50% of that sport’s max roster is unable to attend the contest due to a documentable,
CSUS related, schedule conflict, Intramural Sports will try to reschedule the contest to a more preferable time.
The team must contact IM Sports with at least 24 hours’ notice. If no alternate times are available, then the
team is expected to attend the originally scheduled time.
