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!

Possession:

• Possession begins at any point above the three point line, but must start by “checking” the ball to the new defense

• If a defensive rebound is secured after a legal shot attempt hits the rim, the ball must be legally dribbled past the three point line to officially “clear” and begin possession
• If a turnover is created before a team clears the ball, the ball does not need to be cleared again for a legal shot attempt to take place

RESPECTING STAFF & OFFICIATING

• 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
• 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
• Trainings follow guidelines established by the NFHS and WIAA
• Anyone is welcome to become an official

EMPHASIS: SPORTSMANSHIP

• Use of Hawk Card and other compliance
