Conduct

It is important that the Department of Campus Recreation provide an atmosphere that is conducive to fair play and good sportsmanship.  The department realizes that the intramural contests are very important to the intramural participants, but the importance should not be so great that good sportsmanship is overlooked.  The intramural playing fields/courts are not venues for verbal and/or physical abuse for the intramural participants or spectators.  To insure that fair play and good sportsmanship prevail, intramural employees (game officials, supervisors, and administrative staff) reserve the right to warn, penalize, and eject players, teams, or spectators for conduct deemed unsportsmanlike.

Participants and spectators who choose to follow unsportsmanlike behavior/practices before, during, or after the contest directed toward officials, other participants, or spectators are subject to ejection from the intramural facility.  Intramural game officials, supervisors, and administrative staff may issue an ejection with or without warning if participant's actions are considered to be unsportsmanlike, deliberate, and creates an unsafe playing environment.  Examples of unsportsmanlike actions include, but are not limited to, profanity, vulgar or abusive language or actions, unnecessary roughness, two (2) technical fouls, taunting and/or baiting, flagrant actions toward an opponent, game official, or spectator, and fighting or inciting a fight.

All participants that are ejected from an intramural event will be immediately suspended from all intramural contests until reinstated by the Intramural Sports Director.  To be reinstated, the ejected participant must complete the reinstatement process. This process includes both a written petition for reinstatement as well as a scheduled meeting with the Intramural Sports Director. All games in which suspended players participate will be considered forfeits by that team.  These forfeits will count toward the team's "two forfeit" limit.
