Intramurals are typically sports-oriented events, but not always sports based events that allow students, faculty, and staff to create their own teams or sign-up as a free agent to participate within a wide variety of events being offered during that semester.

STUDENT EMPLOYMENT WEBPAGE

Varsity athletes are welcome to participate in Intramurals, they just cannot particpate in their sport or sports closely related to their sport.  For example anyone on the intercollegiate roster for basketball could not play in 3v3 or 5v5 basketball but could play all other sports or another example would be that baseball could not play softball or wiffleball but could play all other sports.

OPEN = build your team however you want as long as they are a member of the HWS community as a student, faculty, or staff member.

CO-REC = A certain number of Herons and Statesmen must be present on the roster in order to play.

HERON = William Smith Students only.

STATESMEN = Hobart Students only.

You can request to join teams via their team page and the captain can accept you, our Intramural staff can manually add you to a team, you can create your own team and get others to join you, or if enough people join as free agents we will create a team out of the free agents.

Unless we have to shift something based on things happening on our end there will be no rescheduling of gmaes after they are published and initial changes have been made by the professional staff.  Teams may reach out to captains of the team they are facing and other captains in the league to see if they can swap their game time with another game time.  All four captains must agree to this for it to occur.

If a team forfeits a game but gives advance notice they will receive a sportsmanship score of 3.5.  After 3 forfeits even with advance notice a team can be removed from the sport by professional staff.

If a team forfeits/no shows without letting the staff know in advance they will receive a sportsmanship of 2.5.  After 2 forfeits without warning, the team can be removed from that sport by professional staff.

You must be a captain to perform this act.  If you are the captain use the following steps:

1. Go to the sport in IMLeagues.
2. Click on your team/access your team's page.
3. Find the game you wish to forfeit/cancel and click on it.
4. Find the blue cancel button toward the upper middle part of the page and click on it.
5. Type in your reason for forfeiting/cancelling the game and click submit.  (This is important to fill out accurately as your reasonings will be factored in should your team face elimination from the sport via the forfeit policy.

Based upon a team's sportsmanship rating HWS Recreation Staff can conduct a meeting with team captains or individual players if it is believed to be necessary.

At the completion of a regular season, a team must have an average of 3.5 or higher to be considered elligible for playoffs regardless of their record or standing.  Any team rating below this average will be considered ineligible to compete in the playoffs.

Please see the Contact Information Tab on the main screen on IMLeagues near the FAQ tab.

Rosters must be finalized by a teams last regular season game.  Players on the roster at the start of a team's last regular season game will be the only ones elligible to participate in the playoffs should the team qualify.

Teams utilize IMLeagues to challenge each other and agree upon date and time to play.  After the game is over the winning team records the score and sends it to the Intramural staff via IMLeagues for verification.

These are events typically done over a couple of hours depending on the amount of teams that sign-up and how many playing surfaces we have available.  Sometimes these can be done over a couple of days or on a specific night of the week but over a couple of weeks.  These events are single or double elimination so not every team will get the chance to play each other.

Leagues are a longer format in that it is on a certain night or nights and typically will go a month to a month and a half in lenght plus playoffs.  We try to get as many teams to face each other as possible during the regular season.
