Forfeits may occur in such instances as:

  1. Allowing an ineligible player to participate. The team loses all games in which that person participates and that person is barred from that activity.
  2. Participants not appearing on the field or court ready to play at their scheduled time for the contest.
  3. Continued unsportsmanlike conduct or unnecessary roughness may result in a forfeiture of the contest. Referees or supervisors have the authority to forfeit games.
  4. In the event that a team forfeits, that team will be dropped from all further competition in that sport and will lose all participation points. Also, all team members will be ineligible to participate for any other team in that sport. If a team wishes to continue their season they must inform the Intramuraloffice by 12:00 pm the following day that they wish to continue to play. The Intramural Office reserves the right to determine whether or not to reinstate the team. If the team does not ask to be reinstated then they will be dropped and other games will be rescheduled in that time slot.
  5. A team must have a full compliment of players to begin a contest as determined by the Intramural rules. Each player's name should be listed in full on the score sheet prior to the start of the game. Teams may not be add any players once playoffs begin.
  6. There is a 5 minute grace period at the start of the actual game time for all team sports. Once these 5 minutes have passed, a forfeit will be declared.
  7. Teams that forfeit twice will be dropped from further competition.
