Forfeits
Forfeits are the most damaging occurrence in your intramural program. Enthusiasm
and participation quickly diminish after appearing for a contest only to have
the opponents fail to show. Your entry form is a contract with the IM Department
and other students to the effect that if you say you will play, you will be
there for your games.
Teams that forfeit one contest will be dropped from further competition. A one-time
re-entry fee of $10.00 may be paid with 24 hours of the scheduled
game time if the team wishes to continue play. However, another forfeit anytime
during the competitive season thereafter will result in final termination of
the team's opportunity to continue play.
Forfeits will be assessed under the following conditions:
(1) If a team or individual fails to report to the scheduled place within 10 minutes after the scheduled time for a contest. To obtain a contest victory by forfeit, the full lineup must be present and ready to play. If both teams and/or individuals fail to appear, both will be charged with a forfeit.
(2) In team sports, the team must have at least a minimum of one less than the official number of players ready to play at the scheduled time. Any less in attendance and a forfeit will be assessed.
(3) If a team is found to be using an ineligible player.
(4) Not observing the co-ed rule in those league in which it is mandated: at least two members of the under-represented sex must be on the field of play at all times.
A contest resulting in a forfeit will not be rescheduled and will count as TWO LOSSES in the standings.
