When will registration take place for Intramural Sports?

Intramural Sports will hold several registration periods throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Registration periods will be listed on each specific league page on IMLeagues. Registration periods are also listed on the RecSports website here.

Can the captain of a team still sign up the entire team or does each individual person have to sign up?

A captain’s responsibilities are to create the team on IMLeagues, pay for the team, and attend the mandatory captains’ meeting. A captain is able to invite players to a team, but is not able to add the players manually themselves. Any individual who does not appear on the roster will be ineligible to participate. For Interhall teams only, participants must have rector approval to play. Once you have completed registering your team via IMLeagues, you must submit an Intramural Sports Interhall Team Entry Form (click here for the Men’s form, click here for the women’s form). Team Entry Forms must be submitted via the applicable Google Form by 3:00 p.m. In order to add late roster additions, please utilize the applicable team entry form. Team Entry Forms or late additions to rosters will NOT be accepted at the game site. Incomplete forms will not be accepted. Playing without an Interhall Team Entry Form will result in a forfeit for your team and disqualification from further participation in that sport’s season.

Captains 

When and where is my Captains Meeting?

Why do I need to attend the Captains Meeting?

Attendance at the captains meeting is required. At some point during that captains meeting, attendance will be taken. Waitlisted teams may take the place of any team not represented at this time at the captains meetings. Waitlisted teams that get a spot in the league must be prepared to pay immediately following the captains meeting. 

Free agents

What if I don't have a full team of people to play with?

If you do not have a team for a specific sport but would like to play, you’re able to register as a free agent for that sport. Please follow these steps when registering as a free agent:

  3. Click the division(s) that works best for your schedule
  4. Select the “join as a free agent” link

***Registering as a free agent does not guarantee you a spot on a team.

During the process of creating your team, you can click the tab over for “looking for free agents.” If someone is wanting to participate and join as a free agent, your team will have a “free agents wanted” tab beside the team name.

How do I add free agents?

Cost

How much does it cost to play Intramural Sports?

The cost will vary for each sport. Prices of sports are listed on the individual pages on IMLeagues, as well as on the RecSports website here. Certain sports will also require individual costs, as well as the team fee.

Waitlist

What happens if the league I want to play in is full?

A waitlist is available for any leagues that fill up. Waitlisted team captains must attend the captains’ meeting in order to have an opportunity to play. Spots will become available if a team fails to meet the payment deadline and/or is not present at the captains’ meeting. Waitlist teams in attendance at the captains’ Meeting will be given priority based on when they signed up their team on the waitlist. 

Refunds

What happens I register for a sport and am unable to play? Can I receive a refund?

Once you are placed into a league, you’re responsible for participating. The only way to be removed from the league and receive a refund is if your spot is filled by another team. If there is not a team to replace you or if waitlisted teams can’t play during that time, you will not receive a refund.

I registered and paid for a league but did not get in, can I receive a refund?

If you register for a team and are unable to get into the league due to being waitlisted, you will be able to receive a refund. To apply for a refund, complete and return the Refund Request Form via email to recsport@nd.edu. Forms may be downloaded as a PDF by clicking here.

Game times

When are games played?

When registering for a sport, you will select a specific time that you’ll play on a weekly basis during the regular season. If your team advances to the playoffs, the expectation is to be available during any time/day the leagues are scheduled.

Player eligibility

How many teams can I play on?

Participants can play on one team per league, per sport.

When do participants need to be added to a team?

It is a requirement that participants must check-in for at least one regular season game in order to be eligible for playoffs; two games for tackle football. In order for this to happen, participants must be added to the roster by mid-season at least in order to be eligible for playoffs. Rosters are typically printed out at 3:00 p.m. on Monday – Wednesday and 3:00 p.m. on Fridays for Sunday games. Please try and have members on the team before this time if you’re wanting them to participate that evening. We are able to check eligibility on-site, but it can take time to verify.

What do I need to bring to check-in for an Intramural Sports competition?

To play in all Intramural Sports, participants must show a valid, government-issued photo ID. This includes an Irish1Card, state issued driver’s license, U.S. and foreign government-issued passports, and/or U.S. military ID. The photo must be visible and discernible by the Intramural employee checking IDs. This helps to ensure player eligibility in accordance with the IMLeagues roster. It is the expectation that you check in with the Intramural Supervisor that is on site before entering into a game. 

Roster size

How many people can be on a team

The majority of our sports have unlimited rosters. Our only two sports that have specific roster sizes are Tackle Football (26) and Women’s Flag Football (35). Individual sports will list CoRec requirements. It is always encouraged to have more participants on a team in order to always fill a team for playoffs.

Preparing for your game

Do we have to provide our own equipment?

Each set of rules lists specifically what equipment is provided and what equipment is not provided. Click here to view sport rules. Participants may use shared equipment (i.e. spike balls, bags, racquets, footballs), but equipment must be cleaned between each use.

  1. No personal protective/worn equipment can be shared.
  2. When able, participants should use their own equipment.
  3. No pinnies will be provided. Participants are encouraged to wear similar colored clothing to acknowledge team affiliation.
  4. Participants should bring their own water.

Schedules

When will league schedules be posted?

League schedules will be posted once the captains’ meeting has been conducted and all spots are filled for a league. Teams should know when they will be playing based on the specific times they sign up for and when the league is scheduled to begin. Schedules are posted at least 48 hours prior to the league beginning.

When will playoff schedules be posted?

Playoff schedules will be posted once league play has been completed and brackets are seeded. Teams will have at least 48 hours notice before play begins. It is the expectation that your team can be available to play at any time during the playoffs. Games will be scheduled during normal league hours.
