back to top

Activity Registration and Dates

All IM Sports activity registrations take place via the Campus Recreation website during the stated registration period. In order for registration forms to be accepted, they must contain the following information: team manager’s name or participant's name, current phone number, email, team name (if playing a team sport), and division. Forms returned with incomplete information will not be accepted. By submitting this form, team managers or participants are asserting they are aware of all rules, eligibility guidelines and forfeit charge information, and agree to abide by these stated guidelines.

Alcohol and Drug Policy

The possession or consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs is prohibited at any Intramural Sports activity. Any individual suspected of being under the influence will be asked to leave the facility complex. Each team is responsible for enforcing this policy with team members and spectators. Violators are subject to disciplinary action in accordance with University policy.

All-Campus Card Policy

A valid All-Campus Card is required to participate in all Intramural Sports activities.  No other forms of identification will be accepted. Any late arriving participants must show their All-Campus Card to the Supervisor, Scorekeeper or Official before participating.
back to top

Assumption of Risk Statement

Participation in Campus Recreation activities at NC State University involves potential risk of physical injury. By engaging in recreational activities, the participant assumes the risk of bodily injury and agrees to release the University, its officers, employees and agents from all liability for injuries sustained by the participant.

Persons participating in recreational activities at NC State University are strongly recommended to acquire their own personal health insurance since the university does not carry health or accident insurance to cover injuries and medical care for these individuals. 

In addition, it is strongly encouraged that participants consult with their physician before assuming any physical activity and to reduce the potential for injury by stretching adequately before and after any activity.

Cheating

Any individual found cheating will be suspended for a minimum of their next two scheduled Intramural Sports contests. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:

• Playing on more than one team in the same sport.
• Participating or attempting to participate under an assumed name, with team manager’s knowledge of such actions. Individuals using or attempting to use another student’s All-Campus Card will have the card confiscated and may be referred to the Office of Student Conduct under the charge of “Providing False Information.”
• Participating after being suspended from competition and prior to being reinstated.

Any person/team that willfully causes damage to equipment or playing area shall assume responsibility for the full cost of repairs or replacement. Suspension or game forfeiture may result. Individuals damaging Carmichael Complex will be referred to the Director of Carmichael Complex and Facility Operations. 

Animals, except for seeing eye dogs, are not allowed at any Intramural Sports event.
Note:  More severe penalties may be imposed for any infraction of rules or for conduct that infringes on the participation enjoyment of others. The above mentioned penalties are general guidelines.

Defaults and Forfeits

Defaults:

As a courtesy to their opponents and to avoid being charged with a forfeit, teams may request a default for games they will be unable to attend. All defaults must be made known to the Campus Recreation Office by 3:00 pm the day of the contest. For games scheduled on Saturday or Sunday notification must be made by 3:00 pm on Friday. 

Forfeits:

If a team fails to appear at the scheduled playing time, the officials will give the choice of accepting a win by forfeit, or waiting 10 minutes for their opponents to arrive. If the captain chooses to take a win by forfeit, the game at that point is over. If the captain chooses to wait 10 minutes, then the game clock will be started. As soon as the minimum numbers of players arrive the game will start. If neither team nor individuals are present at the scheduled game time the game clock will start and run for 10 minutes. If, after 10 minutes neither team is present, both teams will be charged with forfeits. To obtain a contest victory by forfeiture, the required number of participants must be present (signed in on the score sheet and on the field/court ready to play).

Teams that forfeit twice in a scheduled event will be dropped from further competition in that sport. Exceptions:

Cost Recovery Charges:

Forfeit charges are assessed for team sports, individual/dual sports and special events in the case of teams failing to appear for a scheduled or re-scheduled game. Any individual/manager that has unpaid charges will be unable to register a new team in a different activity and will be deemed ineligible for all Intramural Sport activities. 

Equipment replacement charges are assessed based on the current retail cost to replace the damaged or lost equipment. Any individual/manager that has unpaid charges for lost or damaged equipment will be unable to check equipment out for any activity.

All outstanding charges will be billed to students’ accounts on a monthly schedule. Exception:  Any unpaid charges by a faculty/staff member may result in all Carmichael Gym privileges being suspended until paid. 

Forfeit Charge Structure:

Team managers will have until 3:00 pm the day of their team's next scheduled game to pay the appropriate forfeit charge. Failure to do so will result in removal from the schedule (Note: Any forfeit during a post-season tournament will always result in removal from the schedule). Other consequences for failure to pay a forfeit charge include:

Past due forfeits are billed to the student accounts through the University Cashier on a monthly basis. The Intramural Sports staff will email students with at least four (4) days notice prior to billing an account. (Note: The Intramural Sports staff cannot guarantee your receipt of this email). Once the charge is billed to the Cashier, it can no longer be reconciled through the Campus Recreation office. 

Forfeit Fee Structure:

Team Sports                           $25.00
Individual/Dual Sports             $5.00/$10.00
Special Events                        up to $15.00*                                                                                           

* this information will be noted on the activity information sheet

Equipment Payment Structure:

Any damages to equipment, fields or the building that have not occurred within the framework of the activity offered will be charged to the offending participant(s).  He/she will be financially responsible for any and all deliberate or negligent destruction to buildings, fields or equipment. 

All damaged or lost equipment will be charged at the current value of the lost or damaged item(s).  Note: Some equipment is sold as a set and does not have an individual price. The total amount to replace the equipment as sold will be charged in order to replace the damaged or missing items(s).

A Ringer is defined as an otherwise eligible participant with certain playing restrictions as a result of having benefited from advanced training and coaching opportunities in the same or related Intramural Sport.

The following guidelines will apply to Campus Recreation Club Sports members and Varsity, Junior Varisty, Professional or Former Athletes participating in Intramural Sports activities:

Club Sports Members:

• Club Sports rosters as received by the Assistant Director of Club Sports will be used to determine an individual’s club membership status.

Varsity, Junior Varsity, Professional or Former Athletes:

• A member of the varsity team or anyone listed on the athletic roster provided by NC State is ineligible for Intramural Sports participation in their specific sport.

Rosters

Rosters:

The team manager will complete his/her team sport roster(s) during the scheduling period using the on-line scheduling module.  In order for a roster to be considered complete, it must contain the minimum number of participants required for that sport and the appropriate gender breakdown must be followed for co-rec activities.  Team managers will need each participant’s given name and Campus ID number in order to add players to their roster(s).  Any team with an incomplete roster may be dropped from the league schedule at the conclusion of the online scheduling period. 

Entry forms for Individual/Dual Sports and Special Events will serve as the active roster for that event.  Deadlines for these rosters will generally be the close of the event registration.

Scheduling and League Structure

Most activities are scheduled Monday thru Thursday 5:00 – 10:00pm and Sunday 4:00 – 7:00pm.  However, due to the number of teams registered, times and days of play may be adjusted to accommodate more teams.  Certain special events will be scheduled as weekend or one-day events; all participants must be ready and available when called upon. Make-up and playoff games may be scheduled during any day and time of the week.

Schedules are posted in the Campus Recreation office and online.  It is the responsibility of the team manager or individual/dual sport participant to know this information for participation in the scheduled activities to avoid forfeit charges. 

League Structure:

Leagues are generally scheduled to play a three (3) game regular season followed by a single-elimination tournament.  

Tournament Structure:

All teams in each league with at least a 2.5 Sportsmanship average will advance to a single-elimination tournament.  The playoffs will be seeded based on the following criteria:

For every game, both teams are awarded certain points based on specific variables. The rating score you see next to a team is the total amount of points awarded, divided by their number of games played. These variables are games won, points against, opponent's record, and sportsmanship.

Game won
Each team will receive 10 points for a win

Points against
Each team will receive a maximum of 20 points, based on their opponent's score. This is a sliding scale as the lower the score, the more points are awarded. For instance, if a team shuts out an opponent, they will receive 20 points.

Opponent's record
Each team will receive a maximum of 20 points for their opponent's win percentage. This is a sliding scale as the better the opponent's win percentage is, the more points a team is awarded. Also, this is the most theoretical variable, because once you beat a 3-0 team, they're now 3-1, so the dynamic score will change week-to-week.

Sportsmanship score
Each team will receive a maximum of 10 points for their Sportsmanship score. This is a sliding scale as the higher the score, the more points a team is awarded.

League Structure for Bowling:

Bowling leagues will consist of a six-week schedule.  The champion will be determined by total pin fall over the six-week period.  Example: all Fraternity teams will be ranked among all Fraternity teams to determine who will be the champion of the league.

Individual/Dual Sport Tournament Structure:

Each activity consists of a single-elimination tournament with a random drawing to determine pairings and byes.  Brackets posted in the Campus Recreation Office will contain participants contact information and the play by dates for each match. Participants will be responsible for contacting their opponents to schedule a time to play their match. If you are unable to get in contact with your opponent you should contact the Campus Recreation office immediately for assistance. 

Schedule Posting Times:

• Team Sport Schedules - will generally be posted by 5:00 pm the second Thursday following the informational meeting.
• Individual/Dual Sports Schedule - will be posted by 5:00 pm the day following the registration deadline.
• Special Events - these times are identified on the web site or in the Campus Recreation Office.

Self-Process Online Scheduling (SPS):

Online Scheduling:

Each team that submits an online registration form will receive a registration code that will allow them to enter the scheduling module.  Through SPS procedures, team managers or athletic directors entering the module will select the day and time of their regular season games.  Team managers will also be required to enter the minimum  number of players needed, with name and Campus ID number included in the team roster section.  Any team not completing their roster with the minimum number of players prior to the end of the scheduling period may be dropped from the league schedule. Detailed instructions about the scheduling module can be found above and on the Campus Recreation website. 

• Informational Meetings - Teams attending the informational meeting will receive their registration code for the scheduling module.  These teams will be able to begin scheduling their teams at 9:00 am the day following the informational meeting. 
• Teams that fail to attend the Informational Meetings - These teams will receive an email between 5:00 and 7:00 pm the day following the informational meeting containing their registration code for the scheduling module. 
• Teams not registering prior to the Registration Deadline
  1. Teams not registering, but attending the informational meeting will be given priority on the sport wait list and given a place in the league, dependent upon what that facility and time constraints allow. 
  2. Teams that did not register or attend the informational meeting must submit a wait list registration form via the Campus Recreation website. Campus Recreation will try to accommodate all wait list teams; however, these teams are not guaranteed a place in the league. 

Note: the earlier the team manager or athletic director schedules his/her team(s), the greater the opportunity for obtaining a desired playing time and day.

Sportsmanship and Conduct

Code of Student Conduct:

All students are expected to know and abide by the regulations and policies set forth by the Code of Student Conduct, and are subject to disciplinary action by the University for any violation of this code.  The Department of Campus Recreation reserves the right to refer any incidents involving substandard student conduct to the Office of Student Conduct. 

Team Sportsmanship Guidelines:

Each team receives a Team Sportsmanship Rating at the conclusion of each game by the game officials. An individual’s behavior can have a dramatic effect on a team’s rating. 

A team must have a 2.5 average rating during the season to be eligible for the playoffs.  Each team must maintain a 2.5 rating for each game/round to continue in the playoffs, regardless of the outcome of the game.
Note: If a winning team is removed from the playoffs because of the Team Sportsmanship Rating System, no team will advance from the contest.    

This is not an exhaustive list of unsportsmanlike actions, nor does each element of each grade have to be obtained in determining a Team’s Sportsmanship rating. 

There may be adjustments made to the Team Sportsmanship Rating System if unsportsmanlike behavior merits such adjustments for management effectiveness. 

“A” Excellent Sportsmanship and Conduct - 4.0 points

• Players cooperate fully with game officials, supervisors, and scorekeepers.
• Players are a pleasure for opponents, team members and spectators to interact with.
• Team captain or representative approaches officials and supervisors calmly with concerns and questions.
• Team captain or representative provides the necessary leadership for control of his/her players.

“B” Good Sportsmanship and Conduct - 3.0 points

• Players generally display good sportsmanship towards game officials and opponents, with no blatant displays of poor sportsmanship.
• Players verbally complain about some decisions and call, by game officials, supervisors, and scorekeepers which may warrant a warning.

“C” Acceptable Sportsmanship and Conduct - 2.0 points

• Team is generally cooperative with game officials, supervisors and scorekeepers; however, players show some dissent towards game officials, which may or may not merit an unsportsmanlike penalty/yellow card/technical foul.
• Team captain exhibits control over teammates and themselves.

“D” Poor Sportsmanship and Conduct - 1.0 points

• Players constantly comment and complain to game officials, supervisors, or scorekeepers about most calls.
• Team generally displays poor sportsmanship.
• Team captain or representative exhibits little control over teammates and is not in control of themselves.
• Teams typically receive multiple unsportsmanlike conduct ciatations

F” Unacceptable Sportsmanship and Conduct - 0.0 points

• Players are completely uncooperative towards game officials, supervisors and scorekeepers.
• Team captain or representative has no control of team or themselves.
• The team caused a game to be stopped or forfeited because of multiple unsportsmanlike acts.

Games cancelled/not rescheduled due to weather, power failures etc. - both teams will receive an “A” rating.

A team winning by forfeit/default for reason other than sportsmanship will receive an “A” rating.

• If a game is forfeited due to sportsmanship, the opposing team will receive their rating based on their actions up to that point. 

Teams receiving a “D”/1.0 or lower must have their team captain meet with the Assistant Director or Coordinator of Intramural Sports to be eligible to play their next scheduled contest. 

Suspension from Play:

All ejected participants must contact the Campus Recreation office and arrange an  appointment with an Intramural Sports representative, within 24 hours, prior to any  further participation in any Intramural Sports activity.  Most disciplinary meetings will take place in person and no individual will be reinstated in IM Sports prior to this meeting for ejections pertaining to unsportsmanlike conduct. Participants who fail to meet with the Assistant Director/Coordinator or designee within one week of their ejection will be ineligible for all Intramural Sports activities and may have their Carmichael Gym privileges suspended.

Intentionally assaulting a staff member or game official in any manner will result in immediate ejection and suspension from participating in Intramural Sports for a minimum of one year.  This also includes an attempt to strike, even though contact may not be made. Participants using threatening behavior, intimidating tactics, or taunting game officials or staff members will result in immediate ejection and suspension from participating in Intramural Sports for a minimum of one game. Unacceptable physical contact or fighting (defense is not an excuse for fighting) during Intramural Sports will be handled on a case by case basis.    

The following are guidelines for ejections involving unacceptable physical contact; disciplinary actions may result in more severe penalties.

First offense - Suspension from play for a minimum of 2 games.

Second offense - Suspension from play for a minimum of 1 semester.

Third offense - Suspension form Intramural Sports for the remainder of time in school.

Unsportsmanlike behavior suspension(s):

All ejections in Intramural Sports for unsporting behavior carry a minimum one game suspension.The following is a guideline for unsporting suspensions:

• First offense - Suspension from play for a minimum of one game.
• Second offense in a semester - Suspension from all Intramural Sports for the remainder of the semester.
• Third offense - Suspension from Intramural Sports for the remainder of the academic year
