EMPHASIS: CURRENT ATHLETES

• Current athletes reporting to teams under the Intercollegiate Athletics umbrella are eligible to participate in Intramural Sports, except for those activities that are defined as “corresponding” with their varsity counterpart
• A list of corresponding activities and applicable rules is accessible on the Intramural Sports website
• Once an athlete is on a roster with Intercollegiate Athletics (available at uwwsports.com), that athlete is considered active with the team in-question for the entire current academic year, regardless of playing time or roster status throughout the current year
• It is recommended any athletes confirm their desire to participate in intramural activity with their coaching staff
• Athletes do not receive preferential treatment and IM Sports staff will work with Intercollegiate Athletics to ensure no NCAA violations or impermissible benefits may take place as a result of intramural participation

ADDING TO YOUR ROSTER

• Can add to your roster at any time during your regular season once your team is created
• There is no daily deadline to make additions, although we recommend 3:00 pm, which is the time (on average) we print scoresheets for a day (scoresheets may be printed earlier in a day)
• Added after 3:00 pm? No problem! The individual may not be on the roster, but ask a supervisor to review your roster on IMLeagues to verify the addition
• Once additions are verified, players get added to scoresheets by staff
• Additions may take some time (again, 10-15 minutes) – allow enough time for people to register
• A lack of compliance does not mean we are flexible with these policies on-site
• On-site additions tend to frustrate members; help us out!

EMPHASIS: ACTIVITY-SPECIFIC RULES

Possession:

RESPECTING STAFF & OFFICIALS

• All staff, including contest officials/referees/umpires are to be treated with respect
• Do you have a question? Want clarification? Certainly ask, but do so respectfully
• Staff are here for you and are expected to address all inquiries that are made respectfully
• Officiating staff will undoubtedly make mistakes and not make everyone happy; you will have moments of disagreements; be professional and treat officials like adults
• Mistakes should never be a result of lack of effort or care
• Any disrespectful treatment of staff cannot and will not be tolerated

OFFICIATING

• Contests are facilitated by trained student staff
• Trainings follow guidelines established by the NFHS and WIAA
• Anyone is welcome to become an official
• Officials do not write rules; they enforce them

• Officials are evaluated on a number of varying components
• Your feedback and suggestions are welcome, permitted they are progressive and positive in nature

OFFICIATING

• Officiating is always the most negatively-rated facet of IM Sports and we both acknowledge and understand that
• Customer service and professional appearance are top priorities in addition to fairness
• Supervisor staff have the authority to step in and address situations, but cannot overrule officials without following proper protocol
• Staff should never display favoritism and/or preferential treatment – IM Sports will not stand for such items and train to the contrary
• Please do not confuse friendly behavior for favoritism

EMPHASIS: SPORTSMANSHIP

• Team names
• Use of Hawk Card and other compliance
• Review the IM Sports Participant Handbook, Section 15 for complete details
