Is there a cost to play Texas Tech Intramurals?
|
Team sports require a forfeit fee (deposit) in order to register. Teams will be credited back their forfeit fee at the end of the semester as long as they have not forfeited.
Classic Sports
Flag Football - $50
Fall Volleyball - $50
Basketball - $50
Spring Softball - $50
7 v 7 Soccer - $50
Modern Sports
Fall Softball - $25
Indoor Soccer - $25
4 v 4 Flag Football - $25

Almost all of our Flash Series Events are free, unless they are played at a local business, i.e. Bowling or Golf. When we do use a local business, our participants get a reduced rate to play.

How many teams can I play on?
|
Eligible participants may play on multiple teams in any Intramural Sports Series. Teams may pick up players on the fields or courts to insure that games are played. In the Classic Series and Flash Series, participants may be added to team rosters until a determined date or round in the playoffs. Regular season and playoff schedules will not be amended for players on multiple teams. Players must make a decision on which team to play for if there is a scheduling conflict.

I don't have a team, what do I do if I still want to play?
|
You are then considered a Free Agent. The F.A. program consists on attending a meeting where teams are formed. If you can’t make the meeting you can also register an account on IMLeagues.com, which will allow captains of existing teams to contact you, and add you to their team.

I have a team, but what more do I have to do?
|
You need to register your team on imleagues.com. After your team has been created you need to invite your players to join. After your roster has reached the required number of players, proceed to the IM office to register your team. You will need to pay the required forfeit fee associated with the sport and pick the available time your team can play.

How many games do we get to play?
|
For Classic Series sports, each team is scheduled to play 3 regular season games and then all eligible teams will be placed in a single-elimination playoff bracket based on their division and record. For Modern Series sports, teams will be offered an extended season for maximum participation. There are generally no playoffs. Flash Series events are generally one or two day events that may be elimination tournaments or participation blocks.

What do I need to bring to my game?
|
A picture ID is required. It’s easiest to bring your Tech ID. We have most of the sporting equipment needed to play each of our games. However, this equipment is checked out and shared by everyone so the condition may not be up to your standards.

Why can’t my friend play? He used to go to Tech and will again next semester
|
The intramural sports program is administered for the Texas Tech community and paid for primarily through student fees. Only currently enrolled students are allowed to play intramural sports. People who used to be students, or people who are going to be students are still not enrolled students! Even though you have a friend who would like to play… intramural sports is one of the advantages of being an enrolled Texas Tech Red Raider.

How do you make the playoffs and when do they start?
|
Every team is eligible for the playoffs as long as their Sportsmanship Rating is acceptable and they are considered in good standing with the IM department. The playoffs start immediately after the last regular season day is finished. Depending on the day that your teams play that could mean a week after your last game or the next day after your last game. The schedules will be posted on our website or a hard copy can be found in our office.

How come we don’t play on the same day in the playoffs as we do in the regular season and what do we do if we can’t play at our scheduled time?
|
In order to have teams play different opponents we have to move teams off of their regular season scheduled time. If you can not play, you may be able to reschedule. First you need to contact your opponent to see if they would be able to move, if they say yes you need to contact the IM office to set up a time that you and your opponent can come by to check on another option. Calling your opponent and changing the game yourself will not be recognized by the IM office as a legal game. If the office can find a space and time available to move the game both teams will sign the sheet authorizing the change. If a change is not possible and the game is at least one business day away, you may “Default” the game, which is a loss without loss of money.

I need a job, what’s the deal with officiating?
|
We hire officials for some of our Classic Series sports. Flag Football & Basketball ($9.50/game), Softball & Outdoor Soccer ($9.00/game) and Volleyball ($8.00/hour). A comprehensive training program is conducted prior to the season. Sport knowledge is required, but prior officiating experience is not. Attending the initial date of the program will give you the rest of the information. Start dates can be found on our website or in the Intramural Sports office (Room 203 in the Rec Center).

Can I still play and officiate?
|
Of course, almost all of our officials do. Noting on availability when you play is all we ask so we do not schedule you at the same time.
