All free agents will be contacted & informed of team name, team captain, first scheduled game & where to view team schedule.  Free agents are NOT required to pay a fee to participate.

What is a captain’s meeting, why is it mandatory that I attend?

A captain’s meeting is a meeting in which all team captains receive important information pertaining to intramural policies & procedures along with rule clarifications.

This meeting is mandatory for all team captains because information reviewed promotes consistency & understanding of policies, procedures & rules while it assists in decreasing confusion that teams may face during activities, thus keeping everyone on a level playing field.

All captain's meetings are on Wednesdays @ 9:00 p.m. in Pucillo Gym, Room 210, upstairs along the track.

Additionally, you must pay your $10 forfeit fee @ the Student Memorial Center Bank (SMC) before 4:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. You must bring the forfeit fee receipt you receive after payment @ the SMC bank to the captain's meeting for league entry = NO FORFEIT FEE RECEIPT, NO PLAY!!!

Most importantly, IF YOU WANT TO PLAY YOU MUST ATTEND A CAPTAIN'S MEETING!!!

When & Where are games played?

Games are played Sunday through Thursday with the majority of games played from 9:00 p.m. until midnight except Sundays which games could begin as early as 3:00 p.m. depending on the sport, number of entries & facility space.

Games are played @ Pucillo & Brooks Gym, Chryst Field @ Biemesderfer Stadium, Pucillo Grass Fields, McComsey Courts, McComsey varsity tennis courts & Harbold outdoor sand volleyball courts located within the university community.

Do we have to provide our own equipment?

No, you do not have to provide your own equipment because the intramural department provides equipment for the majority of intramural activities & sports offered to the university community.

If you choose to bring your own equipment understand that this equipment is community equipment in which all participants can use your equipment & the intramural department is not held responsible for damage to your equipment. 

We encourage you to mark your equipment appropriately, so if lost, stolen or damaged it can be identified & returned to the proper person.  If you do lose your equipment, please contact the intramural department @ 717.872.3960 or AIM: MUIntramurals in a timely manner, so we can offer you assistance in finding your lost equipment.

How much does it cost to play?

All activities & sports (individual or team) have an entry fee of $10 except for green fees for golf tournaments. 

The $10 fee is considered a forfeit fee which means if you do not forfeit any games you can transfer the fee to any activity or sport within that semester.  If an individual or team has transferred their forfeit fee and forfeits that individual or team will forfeit all games after the initial forfeit until a new $10 forfeit fee is paid. Ultimatley, an indiviudal or team cannot advance to the next round, cannot participate in playoffs & lose their forfeit fee.
