INTRAMURAL-RECREATIONAL SPORTS PROGRAM
Michigan Technological University's Intramural-Recreational Sports Program is designed to provide all of its
participants with the opportunity to participate in organized sports and recreational activities.
It is the purpose of the Intramural (IM) program to provide a sound, attractive schedule of activities that will appeal to
the leisure-time pursuits of Michigan Tech students, faculty, staff and administration.
Intramural competition operates on a voluntary basis, and is both a supplement to and a continuation of various
physical education classes. Intramurals are for those students who, because of skill level or inclination, do not
compete on a varsity level (check the eligibility rules and regulations for status on varsity athletes).
Further objectives of the Intramural Sports Program include:
1. Encourage participation for fun and pleasure.
2. Provide a program which will be structured to meet the interests, characteristics and needs of the
participants.
3. Provide a program which will include competitive activities ranging from vigorous to moderate in nature.
4. Motivate students so as to achieve maximum participation.
5. Give each student the opportunity to work with others, thus promoting good citizenship and sportsmanship.
6. Provide an opportunity to develop physically, mentally and socially.
7. Develop interest and skill in recreational activities and provide activities with carry-over (lifelong) value to the
participants.
8. Establish a rapport between Michigan Tech students, organizations, faculty, staff and university
administrators.
The Intramural Program is designed to be consistent with the educational objectives of the university. It is the hope
of the Intramural Department that the students, faculty, staff and administration of Michigan Technological University
will find time to participate in some phase of the Intramural-Recreational Sports Program. We hope that you will
receive personal satisfaction and enjoyment from the program.

INTRAMURAL EMPLOYEE AWARDS
The following awards are announced at the Annual Banquet held each spring. Honorees are each
given a plaque to commemorate their award.
Cheryl DePuydt Memorial for Outstanding Leadership Award
This award was established in 2006 to honor the memory of Cheryl
DePuydt who joined the Michigan Tech Physical Education Department
in 1972 as the first female physical education instructor at Michigan
Tech. When Michigan Tech started their women’s athletics programs in
1975, Cheryl coached both volleyball and women’s basketball along
with her full load of teaching duties and raising a family. She coached
both programs through the 1978-79 season. Thousands of local skaters
got off to a good start thanks to Cheryl when she founded the first local
skating club. She served as the department chair of the Physical
Education department from 1995 until the time of her death in
September 2005. Throughout her career she received several honors
marking her outstanding leadership capabilities such as the Michigan
Tech Distinguished Teaching Award in 1982, a Michigan’s Teaching
Excellence Award in 1991, the Michigan Tech Sports Hall of Fame in
1992 and the Clair M. Donovan Award for outstanding service. Cheryl
was well known for her ability to lead by example, keep a positive
attitude, put others first, and always smile! She championed the Intramural motto of “fun, fitness and
friendship,” which we continue to operate by.
Each year a student with outstanding leadership qualities will be honored.
Female and Male Employees of the Year
Each year two or more students are recognized as our Mubsterz employees of the year.
Mubsterz/Memorial Union Building supplies our IM employees with eighty free pizza coupons each
year.
Supervisor of the Year
Supervisors oversee each of our team sports. Being a supervisor carries a great deal of
responsibility and organization. Each year a supervisor will be selected for this award based on their
performance.
Outstanding Service Award
This award goes to an individual who works behind the scenes of the IM Program helping to make
things run smoothly; doing things we may take for granted. This award recognizes our “unsung
heroes”.
Director’s Award
This award goes to a student employee who has worked in the Intramural program for four years
and has worked a minimum of four hundred hours.
Rookie Official of the Year
The award goes to a first year official who has done an outstanding job officiating one or more team
sports.

INTRAMURAL ATHLETES OF THE YEAR
The Intramural-Recreational Sports Department presents an award to the female and male intramural athletes of the
year. Each runner-up is also presented an award. The winners each receive a scholarship and a plaque. Each runnerup receives a plaque. The awards are presented at the annual Intramural Banquet in the spring.
The following criteria are used in selecting the recipient of these awards:
PARTICIPATION - The recipient of the award should have actively participated in the intramural program. More
participation equals more consideration given to the candidate.
CONDUCT - The recipient of the award must have conducted himself or herself in a sportsmanlike manner during
intramural events.
COOPERATION - The recipient must have cooperated with the Intramural Department (officials, supervisors, and
director).
ENTHUSIASM - The recipient must have shown enthusiastic interest in the intramural program.
The Intramural Advisory Council using the above criteria will select Athlete of the Year candidates. Intramural office
personnel will record each student's participation in the Intramural program throughout the year. Then the Athletes of
the Year will be selected from the top participating athletes based on conduct, cooperation, and enthusiasm.
Intramural participants can win one IM Athlete of the Year award while at Michigan Tech (undergraduate or graduate
level). An individual can win one runner-up award, with the opportunity to win Athlete of the Year in her/his following
year(s) at Michigan Tech. These criteria are effective as of August 1994.
The Male Athlete of the Year award is made possible by donations from Alan J. Sipinen, an enthusiastic Michigan Tech
intramural participant who graduated with the class of 1980.
The Female Athlete of the Year award is made possible by a grant from John M. Carpenter, a former Michigan Tech
student and wrestler. John is a 1980 graduate.

SPORTSMANSHIP RATING SYSTEM
The Intramural Sports Program is committed to providing a safe, fair and enjoyable environment during IM
contests. Unsportsmanlike behavior occasionally causes games to become non enjoyable, unfair and, in some cases,
unsafe. In an effort to maintain the proper playing environment for IM games, the Sportsmanship Rating System has
been established and will be in effect for regular season and playoff games in basketball and ice hockey. Awards will be
given to one women's team and one men's team (basketball flag football, floor hockey and hockey) with the highest
rating.
1.
2.
GENERAL RATING SYSTEM CRITERIA:
"A"
4.0 EXCELLENT RATING: Players cooperate fully with the officials and supervisor.
An open and calm rapport exists between the captain and the officials. The captain
has full control of her/his teammates and fans.
"B"
3.0 GOOD RATING: Some players dissent verbally with the officials decisions but,
in general, the captain and players cooperated well with the officials and
supervisor. The captain had good control of team.
"C"
2.0 AVERAGE RATING: Players more verbal in disagreeing with officials calls.
The captain may have failed to control her/his team.
"D"
1.0 POOR RATING: Dissent is open among team members. Team players argue
with officials and themselves. The captain fails to assist the officials in game
control.
"E"
0.0 UNACCEPTABLE RATING: The team displays little or no sportsmanship. A
team causing a game to be terminated due to unsporting behavior will receive an
"E" rating. Use of an ineligible player will automatically result in an "E" rating.
Managers of teams receiving an "E" rating must meet with the IM Director. The
outcome of the meeting will determine further league participation.
METHOD OF RATING:
Each team in each contest will be rated on a sportsmanship basis by officials (two
officials and scorekeeper). The supervisor can also assist in the rating. The rating
will be noted on the score sheet. Officials are not to discuss ratings with the teams.
Teams are not to question the officials about the ratings. Teams can check their
ratings at the IM Office.
18
PARTICIPANT INFORMATION
Individual and Dual Sports
Michigan Tech intramural individual/dual competition is conducted on a single elimination, double elimination,
consolation or ladder basis with drawings made for tournament positions. Participants must sign up at the Intramural
Office. Individual/dual activities for each term are listed on the Intramural Schedule of Events sheets (separate sheets
for women, men and co-rec) and also in this Intramural Handbook.
Team Sports
Team intramural competition is conducted via a single elimination, consolation or round robin format. Team sports for
each term are listed on the IM Schedule of Events sheets and also in this Intramural Handbook.
Leagues or Divisions for Competition
The following classifications are utilized in intramural sports to maintain equity of competition whenever possible. In the
event that there are only a limited number of teams in any of these divisions, cross competition may occur in order to
permit full season play for all participants.
Men’s Division - The men’s division is composed of male individuals who are currently enrolled Michigan Tech
students, faculty, and staff.
Women’s Division - The women’s division is composed of female individuals who are currently enrolled Michigan Tech
students, faculty, and staff.
Co-Rec Division - The co-rec division provides dual and team sport competition in which men and women compete
together. The rules for this division may be modified (depending on the sport) to encourage equal playing opportunity for
both men and women. This division is open to all current Michigan Tech students, faculty, and staff.
Note: Individuals may only play on one intramural team during a season (men, women). If a co-rec league is run in
conjunction with a men’s and women’s league, an individual may play on both a men’s or women’s team and a co-rec
team, but can never play on two or more men’s, women’s or co-rec teams simultaneously.
Skill Levels of Competition
Four skill levels of competition are offered, when possible, in team sports. The intent of these skill levels is to equalize
play by grouping teams of equal ability together. Each skill level, excluding recreational, will have their own league and
playoff schedules.
Class A (Highly Skilled/Highly Competitive) – Numerous experiences as a participant in the given sport,
participating for the enjoyment in a highly competitive environment.
Class B (Above Average Skilled/Competitive) – Some experience as a participant in the given sport,
participating for the enjoyment in somewhat of a competitive environment.
Class C (Averaged Skilled/Lower Competitiveness) – Participants at this level have little or no experience as
a participant in a given sport. Participating for the pure enjoyment and looking to gain some experience in a
lower-competitive environment.
Recreational (Just for Fun) – This level may be added in certain sports with a higher number of participants.
Participants at this level have little or no experience as a participant in a given sport. Participating for the pure
enjoyment and looking to gain some experience in a recreational environment. Generally no play-offs are
offered, but the season is usually extended.
Notes: - The intramural staff reserves the right to reassign teams to other skill levels.
- In some sports - It may be necessary to combine classes or leagues in the case of
limited entries.
Free Agents
Students who are looking to play a team sport but do not have a team can sign up on our free agent sheet. This sheet is
available at the Intramural Office. Students looking for a team are encouraged to attend the managers’ meeting for the
particular sport. Free agents will be introduced at the managers meeting.

Intramural Web-Site
The Michigan Tech Intramural-Recreational Sports Service Program web site is < http://www.exsci.mtu.edu/im/>. The
web site provides schedules, results, team information, and other general intramural information.
Injuries and Insurance
Everyone participates voluntarily in the Intramural-Recreational Sports Services program. Medical costs incurred by
participants injured in intramural contests must be covered by the individual's personal insurance. Information on
insurance coverage is available at the Office of Student Affairs and at the Center for International Education.
All injuries must be reported to the student supervisor or building personnel. Necessary assistance/referral will
be provided.
Practice periods and health examinations are strongly recommended for all sports, particularly for those participants with
a known medical history of sport restriction.
Students wearing glasses should use protective guards or have special glasses. Students must not play without taking
these precautions. Racquetball eyeguards are available from the Intramural Office and Equipment Issue. Softball face
masks are recommended for all catchers.
Sports Rules/Rule Changes
General rules and regulations for each sport will be made available to students before competition begins. In addition to
the general rules, there are certain specific regulations that will take precedence. These rules are issued to participants
before the start of competition. The Intramural-Recreational Sports Services Department reserves the right
to put into immediate effect any new rules regarding eligibility and competition. Before doing so, the department will
attempt to notify team managers.
Intramural Advisory Council
The purpose of an Intramural Advisory Council is to assist the Intramural Director in promoting and improving the
Intramural-Recreational Sports Services Program. The Intramural Advisory Council at Michigan Technological University
consists of a faculty-staff advisor, and a female and male undergraduate student.
Through an Intramural Advisory Council, the students and faculty have a voice in the rules, regulations, new activity
ideas, intramural decisions, and other pertinent intramural matters. Council meetings are held at the beginning and end
of each academic year. Additional meetings are scheduled as needed.
Awards
T-shirts are awarded to all first place winners. Intramural plastic mugs are awarded to all runners-up. Awards will be
distributed upon completion of competition or the athletic manager can pick up all awards at the Intramural Office. For
the team sports, participants must have played in at least half of the team's contests to receive an award.
INTRAMURAL TEAM MANAGERS
Each intramural team sport should have a manager (also an assistant manager). It is important for this individual to be
interested and conscientious, to reduce forfeits and postponements, and to increase the opportunities for students to
participate in the intramural program. All important matters will be directed to him/her and it is his/her duty to see that
their respective team is informed.
Team Managers Information Packet
At the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters the Intramural Office will organize a team manager's information
packet. The packet will contain dates of all managers' meetings for the semester; women's, men's, and co-rec schedule
of events; information sheet for all events; and an intramural handbook. This packet is available at the IM Office and it
will be distributed at appropriate meetings.
Manager Meetings
All team sports have a pre-season manager’s meeting. It is mandatory that every team wishing to participate have a
representative at the meeting. If your team fails to have a representative at the meeting, your team will be assessed an
additional $5.00 to your entry fee. The following items will be discussed at the manager’s meetings:
1. Specific Sport Information
6. Entry Deadline
2. Play Location
7. Entry Card Information
3. Playing Date/Times
8. Roster Information
4. Entry Fees
9. Rules
5. Eligibility Requirements
10. Introduction of Supervisors
21
Manager Responsibilities
1. The manager must have a good line of communication with each of the players and the IM Office.
2. Submit correct and complete information on entry cards and rosters, to include changes in phone numbers, etc.
Make all roster changes (additions/deletions). Fill out forms at IM Office or make roster changes at the activity site

as weather conditions, all scheduling, including cancellations or postponements of scheduled games, shall be
determined by the Intramural-Recreational Sports Services Department.
5. Being familiar with the eligibility rules and making sure all players are eligible for each contest. Please note in the
eligibility rules that team mangers should make it clear to the players that they are jeopardizing the team’s chances
to participate if the players are not eligible in that intramural sport. Managers allowing any violations of the eligibility
rules may be suspended from participation in any capacity at the Intramural Director’s discretion.
6. Being responsible for maintaining fair play and a positive atmosphere at game sites and cooperating with the
intramural supervisor. Appropriate conduct is important for the health and safety of all players.

8. Signing up players with correct names on all score sheets.
9. Providing a substitute manager for any game in case the regular manager is absent.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Two words, no more than twelve letters (no Greek letters).
No vulgar language.
No reference to alcohol or other drugs.
No reference to sexually explicit, invasive or violent activities.
No discriminatory reference (race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, height, weight,
marital status, handicapped, veteran).
The Committee recommends that the above names or acronyms not be permitted to be used in any official function or
competition on this campus. More detailed information is provided in the Board of Control Policy Manual.
ELIGIBILITY RULES/GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
The spirit of the rules calls for their most careful consideration. They have been established to protect the
intramural athletes and to insure them ample opportunity to participate. It is important that all participants observe the
rules equally so that no team or individual may gain an advantage over those abiding by the rules.
No athlete should compete on intercollegiate teams and also take the place of other students in the IM sports in which
the athlete has gained an advantage. Intercollegiate level training and coaching enables these athletes to dominate IM
competition in their sport.
All students, faculty and staff who participate in the intramural program must be knowledgeable of the eligibility
rules which govern their specific activity. Each individual has the right to expect a fair and equal opportunity to
participate, while at the same time maintaining a level of conduct and respect for opponents consistent with the spirit of
IM activities.
22
PENALTY: It is the responsibility of each team manager to understand these eligibility rules and communicate that
knowledge to other teammates. These rules are discussed at team manager's meetings and are available to any
individual at the IM Office. Team managers must check the eligibility of each team player and make it clear that their
team's chances are jeopardized if ineligible players are participating. Any team using a student who is ineligible shall
lose all contests in which the student played if the violation is detected (through protest or by officials) before league
playoffs and tournaments begin. If detected during playoffs, the team shall lose the game in which the player is
detected. The game will be awarded to the team that originally lost the game, and that team will automatically advance.
1. Who is Eligible
a. All students who enroll and pay Michigan Tech University tuition are eligible for all intramural
activities as provided for in these rules during the term in which they are enrolled. Pictured
identification cards may be checked prior to IM contests. Also, spouses of students are eligible for
intramural competition. But, they must meet other eligibility rules and regulations.
b. Employees (faculty, staff and spouses of employees) are eligible for intramural competition. There
may be separate divisions for employees and spouses. This will be determined upon receipt of
entries. Separate divisions would most likely occur in individual events.
2. Varsity Athletes
a. Varsity athlete award winners from any four-year institution (college or university), regardless of
size, may not participate in any sports or associated sports in which they earned their awards until
the lapse of one year from the end of the season in which the last award was earned.
b. Varsity athletes in season or in organized practice or training may not participate in the related
intramural sport (red shirt athletes are also ineligible).
c.
Members of any varsity athletic squad under organized practice at the beginning of that team's active
season, or anyone who joins that squad after the season begins, shall not be eligible to participate in
intramural competition in that sport or any associated sport for the school year. "Active Season" is
defined as the date of the first scheduled contest in that sport.
d. An individual, who is dropped/cut (pre-season) from an intercollegiate team or if he/she quits, must
wait a one week period before becoming eligible for intramural play.
e. Any student who has been dismissed from a Michigan Tech varsity team for disciplinary reasons may
not participate in intramurals during the season of the sport from which they were dismissed.
3. TEAM MEMBERSHIP: Players may participate on only one team in each intramural sport except softball, flag
football, basketball and volleyball (co-rec league available; a female/male could play in their league and also on
a co-rec team). A player declares his/her team affiliation by their first participation. Any student violating this
rule will receive a one game suspension or a suspension for the remainder of the season.
4. Any player using an assumed name shall be barred from intramural competition during that season and the
team penalized with losses for all the games in which the violator participated. Teams using a player under an
assumed name shall be barred from playoff competition. The IM Department has the responsibility to bar any
organization that willfully uses an ineligible player.
5. Professional athletes may participate in any sport except the sport or sports in which they have competed.
Professional athletes permanently terminating their active training and competition will have the same eligibility
as varsity award winners (2 a).
6. Sportsmanlike Conduct
a. The many students who work as officials, sports and building supervisors provide indispensable
services to their fellow students and the Intramural Program. It is they who, in a very great way, are
responsible for the varied, equitable participation students enjoy. These student employees should
be treated with respect as one student to another. Under no circumstances should these students be
threatened or physically abused.
b. Anyone physically or verbally abusing an intramural official will immediately and automatically be
suspended. The suspension will remain in effect throughout the time necessary to clarify and verify
the facts surrounding the action. Permanent suspension may follow.
23
c.
Teams and players have a further responsibility in acting to prevent their fans from abusing the
officials and to help the officials control their spectators so that the game is not disrupted. In
instances where officials are threatened or physically abused by spectators, those teams that are
identified with the spectators will be suspended indefinitely.
d. Any player ejected from a game for any reason may be suspended from his/her team's next game.
Any further action will depend on the severity of the incident.
e. Fighting or inciting action, whether physical or verbal, will result in automatic suspension. Further
action will be decided upon clarification of the situation. Permanent suspension may follow.
f.
Severe cases of misconduct/inappropriate behavior can be referred to the Office of Student Affairs
and/or Public Safety for possible University action.
7. Participants or organizations that are suspended from intramural participation because of violations of the above
rules will be encouraged to participate in the hearings held to insure protection of their rights. The hearing will
include those participants, officials and supervisors involved in the allegations of the violations. The intramural
staff/Intramural Advisory Council will hear the allegations, observations and information and make an objective
decision to the best of its ability.
8. Protests
a. To be valid, a protest must be registered verbally with an official and the sports supervisor must be
notified by the protesting team at the time the incident occurs. The official will record all game
conditions present when the protest is filed (score, time remaining, period of play, and events
surrounding the protest) on the back of the score sheet. The game will then continue under protest.
If the officials are not notified of the protest during or before the game, no protest will be allowed.
Written support of the protest must be presented in the IM Office before 12:00 noon the next day (day
after the protest). If protest occurs on Friday or weekend, written support must be in by noon
Monday. If this procedure is not followed, the protest will be dropped and the incident closed.
b. Protests concerning rule misinterpretations and ineligibility are perfectly justifiable. However, officials'
judgment is not valid ground for protest.
c.
To exemplify the values of honest sport competition, protests of alleged ineligibility should be made
immediately to IM game officials and supervisor rather than waiting to determine the outcome of the
game.
d. Ineligibility problems can be detected and enforced anytime during the season and/or playoffs.
Participants, managers, coaches, officials, supervisors, Assistant IM Director and IM Director can
detect ineligible players.
e. Games altered by a valid protest will be replayed, if possible, from the point at which the protest was
registered.
f.
IM employees (officials and supervisors) are responsible for reporting any inequities at any time in
the intramural program.
g. The Intramural Director will rule on all protests.
9. Rosters
a. All players participating in a game should be listed on the team roster. Players can be added during
the regular season by seeing the supervisor at the activity site. Team managers must make sure
they are eligible. Rosters freeze with the team's last regular season game. No players can be added
for the playoffs after the last regular season game.
b. For single and double elimination tournaments, roster guidelines vary; check the rules for that
particular sport.
10. Forfeits
a. Because the true purpose of intramurals is participation, forfeits cannot be tolerated. Team
managers are responsible for providing enough players for their team so forfeits do not occur. If
extra players are needed, a list is available in the IM office of individuals who are seeking teams. The
IM office must be contacted as soon as possible if a team is forced to forfeit a game .
24
b. FORFEIT TIME: Game time is forfeit time! At game time the clock timing the contest will be started.
At this time, the offended team is given the option to take the victory or wait up to 10 minutes for the
other team and play the game. Once the decision is made by the offended captain, it may not be
reversed and the outcome of the contest will stand. Any time consumed by waiting for a team shall
be taken off the time allotted for the game.
c. FORFEIT FEE:
I.
The only sport to be charged a prepaid forfeit fee will be ice hockey. The charge will be
$150.00. This fee must be paid when the team manager registers their team. The full amount
will be refunded if the team does not forfeit any games. The charge for a forfeit in ice hockey is
$75.00. Forfeit fee’s are to be picked up at the Exercise Science Office at the conclusion of the
season. Team managers will be emailed the information on collecting the fee.
II.
For all other Intramural leagues (3 or 5 game round robin tournament), if a team forfeit’s a game
they will be charged $10.00. All information will be recorded in a notebook at the IM office.
III.
The supervisor will fill out a form that a forfeit has occurred. He/she will put it in the folder with
the score sheets. The director in charge of that sport will contact (email or phone) the team
manager the following morning. The team manager, assistant manager or designated team
member, must come up to the IM Office and get a receipt (it will be filled out by the director and
in a folder on the counter) and pay the forfeit fee at the Central Ticket Office. If the fee is not
paid by the designated date/time the team will be dropped from league play in that sport and
they will not participate in any other IM competition until the fee is paid.
IV.
1 Forfeit: Pay $10.00 to remain in the league.
V.
2 Forfeit: Dropped from the league. Must pay the $10.00 to play in any other IM Sports.
VI.
Paying the fee does not cancel the forfeit. It is still a forfeit. Two forfeits and the team is
dropped from league play and playoffs.

13. It is University Policy that alcoholic beverages or other illegal substances not be consumed on University
recreational areas or in University facilities. Team managers must take responsibility to see that neither players
nor spectators carry alcoholic beverages to the facilities. IM Supervisors have the authority to tell participants to
leave the facility or forfeit games if substance abuse problems occur.
14. Any further questions of the above eligibility rules may be answered by contacting the IM Office, 487-3040.
