Participants can play in all of the offered sports if they desire. Most teams do not practice in intramural sports and the games do not last more than one hour. Participants are limited to participating on one single-gendered team per sport and one mixed-gender team per sport.

The designated captain can begin building their team on the Waitlist one week prior to the registration period opening.

The captain will select the sport they want to register a team for and then select the appropriate league within that sport.

Select “create team” and complete the mandatory captain’s quiz with 100% accuracy.

Select an appropriate team name, logo, and list a phone number for the captain.

Invite team members to your team and meet the minimum number of players required in order to register in a division.

After reaching the minimum number of players, move to a division that best fits your team’s availability.

Go to the team page, to complete any other details for your team and view your schedule once it is published.

Residence hall teams must email imsports@purdue.edu to notify the Intramural Sports Staff of their affiliation to a Residence Hall and finalize any billing details.

Games are played in an hour or less. All teams will make the playoffs provided they maintain a 2.75 or higher average sporting behavior rating and they do not forfeit more than two games.

The black divisions are our most competitive divisions for participants looking to

participate against the highest level of competition. The gold divisions are intended for

teams that are not as experienced or lesser skilled than the black division and are

looking for a recreational environment.

Teams will be required to wear matching colored uniforms or shirts in intramural Flag Football, Soccer, Basketball, and Ultimate Frisbee. Basketball uniforms will also be required to have two-digit whole numbers from 00-99. Uniforms may not have taped numbers. For all other sports it is as simple as coordinating the same colored tshirt. Teams failing to arrive on-site with matching uniforms for specified sports will forfeit that game.

Captains can add players to their team by utilizing the “invite members” on their team page and send a request to their teammates. Every participant must have an active IM Pass to join a team. All players must be on the team roster prior to checking in on site with the Intramural Supervisor.

You may reschedule your game by utilizing the online rescheduling feature within IM

Leagues. The captain will select “reschedule/cancel” game next to their schedule on

their team page. They will submit a request to their opponent and the opponent will

have the option to approve or deny. It is recommended to communicate with the

captain in advance to find a common time to reschedule. Approval by both captains

must be submitted by 3pm for games played or reschedule to Monday – Thursday and

10am for games played or rescheduled to Sunday. It is responsibility of both captains to

ensure a rescheduled request is approved or denied.

If you and your opponent’s captain cannot agree on a new time to play, we recommend

cancelling the game. The captain can cancel the game by selecting “reschedule/cancel”

next to their schedule on their team page. A request to cancel must be sent by 3pm for

games played on Monday – Thursday and by 10am for games played on Sunday. An

intramural administrator will approve or deny the request. It is the responsibility of the

captain submitting the request to ensure the game was officially canceled.

The penalty for not showing up to your game at all is the same as being 1 minute late to your game. Game time is forfeit time. Team captains are charged a $25 forfeit fee for the first forfeit, and a team's second forfeit results in their removal from the league.

circumstances unfortunately will not be rescheduled do
