All participants must meet the eligibility requirements without exception. A participant is not eligible to play in an IM activity if he or she practices with or competes as a member of a varsity or junior-varsity team in that activity. This includes seniors who have practiced or competed with the Varsity or Junior Varsity team in that activity for the academic year. If an IM activity parallels a recognized club sport, no more than 2 members may participate on an IM team of the same activity. Teams playing with an ineligible person will forfeit those contests and that team or individual may be subject to suspension from further Intramural activity.
Team captains are responsible for ascertaining the eligibility of each player and opponent.
If a team fails to report to the scheduled place within 10 minutes after the scheduled contest time, the official may declare the contest forfeited to the opponent. If both teams fail to be ready, both will be charged with a forfeit. To obtain a contest of victory by forfeit, the full line-up must be present and ready to play. A team shall forfeit any contest in which a player participates under an assumed name. No team may enter a league without full cash payment at the captain's meeting.
