CODE OF CONDUCT Article 1: Intramural Program Code of
ENTRY AND REGISTRATION
Conduct In line with the mission of the IM Program, sportsmanship is an important component to providing a safe and enjoyable atmosphere. Participant safety and sportsmanlike behavior are our top priorities at all times. All IM participants and spectators are expected to abide by the WPU Community Conduct Code. Infractions in conduct pertain to all facilities and activities, and include any harassment of IM staff members on campus as well as places of business and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Article 1: Registration Process The team captain will complete his/her team sport roster(s) during the scheduling period using IMLeagues. In order for a roster to be considered complete, it must contain the minimum number of participants required for that sport and the appropriate gender breakdown must be followed for co-rec activities. Any team with an incomplete roster may be dropped from the league schedule at the conclusion of the online scheduling period. Note: Each sport will have a different maximum number of players; normally double the number on the field/court for that sport. Article 2: Roster Additions Team managers will have two options for adding players to their roster after the online scheduling period has ended. Managers may utilize the online addition module through IMLeagues.com to add players to their roster throughout the entire season. A player must be added to the roster by 12:00pm the day of the game in order to appear on that day's score sheet. Players may be added on site if they have an IMLeagues account, if they do not have one they will have the ability to create their account and get added on the website either at the event or at a later time. Article 3: Free Agents Players who do not wish or are unable to organize a team may sign up as a free agent on IMLeagues. Their availability and contact information will be available to captains looking to collect more players. Free agents are also strongly encouraged to attend Captain’s Meetings if offered.
Article 2: Cheating Any participant or team found guilty of cheating will be disqualified, placed on probation and subject to suspension from the IM Program. Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to: - Participation under an assumed name or with an invalid WPU ID card. - Participating under suspension. - Violation of eligibility rules. Article 3: Facilities and Equipment Any participant or team found using a restricted facility without an authorized IM staff member present may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the sport or department. Any damage to the facility may be charged to the students account. Equipment used during warm ups and events may be provided by the Intramural Department.
