Participation in the programs offered by the Department of
Campus Recreation (C.R) is voluntary on the part of each
individual. Therefore, Campus Recreation will not assume the burden of
doctor bills, hospital costs, etc., for persons injured while
participating in any of the programs. Participation in activities
sponsored and organized by Campus Recreation at The University of
North Florida could involve risk of serious injury which
may result in paralysis or death. Each participant is encouraged
to undergo a thorough physical examination each year.
It is also recommended that each participant carry medical
insurance. All participants will be required to sign a waiver
of liability acknowledging that they understand the risks
involved in participation. Student Insurance can be purchased
at student health. |

The following regulations apply to all persons participating in the Intramural Program:
-
Participants must present a valid UNF ID. NO ID NO PLAY! UNF STUDENTS MUST present their N number
prior to participation.
-
All current fee paying UNF students (must be enrolled in classes all semester), faculty,
and full-time staff (OPS employees must be working 40 hours a week) are eligible
to participate.
-
Faculty and staff personnel who are employed full-time (40 hours per week) by
UNF are eligible to participate in the Intramural Program with the use of their faculty or
staff ID card.
-
UNF Alumni are INELIGIBLE for participation in the intramural sports program.
-
Men and Women must compete in the respective division unless there are not enough
participants to establish a particular league of play.
-
A person may compete for only one team per sport. Exception: a player may compete on a men's or women's team and also
a corec team. Once a person has participated for a team, he or she is not eligible to transfer to another team. In the event a
player's team forfeits out of the league, a player may appeal to Campus Recreation to be placed on another team. Upon checking in at a game,
the person is considered to have participated for that team.
-
An individual who has competed in professional athletics will be ineligible from competing in that sport or it's counterpart for
one (1) calendar year from the date in which they last played. He or she will be listed under the same regulations as Ex-varsity athletes.
-
Varsity athletes will not be eligible to compete in the sport in which they hold varsity status or any counterparts of that sport.
A person is considered a varsity athlete if he/she has practiced/competed with the varsity team during the 2009-10 regular season.
For intramural eligibility purposes, the beginning of the regular season for varsity sports is defined as the team's first scheduled
game. Players designated as "redshirts" will also be considered varsity athletes.
-
Ex-varsity athletes are defined as persons who have participated in varsity athletics during the 2008-09 year or before. These players
are limited in the sport in which they held varsity status. Teams may not have more than two (2) ex-varsity athletes on it's roster,
one (1) in basketball.
-
A team is not to have more than two (2) players who are members of a UNF Sport Club in that sport or
it's counterpart. Club membership will be turned into Campus Recreation by the club president. This list is considered the
final word on membership status. Club members are persons who: have participated in extramural games
with the club, have paid membership dues, have consistently practiced with the club, and who are duly recognized
by the club president as a member of the club for any valid reason other than those listed.
- NOTE: The number of ex-varsity athletes and club sport members (or any combination) on any intramural
team cannot exceed a total of two (2) roster members, one (1) in basketball.
Campus Recreation reserves the right to make rulings on all eligibility cases. Individuals with questions should petition
to Campus Recreation prior to competing. |

A forfeit results in any contest not being played without prior
arrangements being made with the Campus Recreation Office. Campus Recreation is obligated
to pay contest officials
and supervisors and uphold
facility reservations regardless
of the fact that teams do
not show up to play. Any
team that forfeits two (2)
regular season games will be
dropped from the league regardless
of their regular season
record. Remember, forfeits are detrimental to the success
of the program. If your team cannot
attend a game, call the Campus Recreation Office by
2:00pm on the day of your game, Friday
for a weekend game, and your team
will receive a loss instead of being
charged with a forfeit.

Postponements will be
granted for total team
conflicts when possible.
Teams should anticipate
having a player (s) not
available for a game due
to class conflict or other
activities and have ample
number of players on
their roster to compensate. If rescheduling is necessary, arrangements
must be made with Justin Cato, Intramural Coordinator.
He can reached at 620-2646. Postponements
may also be required due to
weather or field conditions. Please do not
play or practice on the fields if they are
wet or muddy.
A request to reschedule a
game must be in the Recreation
Office at least 24
hours prior to the originally
scheduled game. |

A part of the philosophy of Campus Recreation is that sportsmanship is vital to the success of each and every
program we offer to the university community. Game officials have been
granted sole authority to make decisions to warn, penalize, or eject participants
for acts of poor sportsmanship. All ejected participants must report
to the Campus Recreation Office before their next scheduled game. Players are responsible
for their actions both on and off the field in regards to intramural employees.
Individuals that violate this policy will have their case turned over to the Student Conduct Board. Teams/
individuals which continually exhibit acts of poor sportsmanship will be removed from that activity. |

All rule interpretation protests must be made by the protesting team's captain in the presence of the officials, supervisors, and
opposing team's captain at the time and place of the incident. The protest must be made immediately, before the ball becomes
live, following the incident. If a resolution is not accomplished at this time, the Campus Recreation staff will be called at the earliest time for a
meeting to rule on the protest. Protests may be filed only on misinterpretation of the
rules or on player eligibility. No protest will be accepted on the judgment
call of an official. Teams who wish to protest the eligibility of a
player must come to the Campus Recreation Office and fill out a protest form. It is the
responsibility of all intramural teams to monitor the eligibility of their
team as well as their opponents. During regular season play, all contests
in which an ineligible player participated will be recorded as a forfeit win for the opposing team. During the
playoffs, the last contest in which the ineligible player participated shall be recorded as a forfeit win for the opposing
team. The playoff bracket will not be reorganized. |
|
|
Teams will make the playoffs depending on their regular season record. A team will
qualify for the playoffs by not forfeiting any scheduled games during the regular season and having an acceptable sportsmanship rating. If a team forfeits one (1) game, they will be ineligible for the playoffs, but can continue the regular season.
If a team forfeits two (2) games, it will be dropped and will not be eligible for
the playoffs regardless of the team's regular season record. A rainout
(non-rescheduled) game counts as a win for both teams and will assist a team's
chances for making the playoffs.
Playoffs will be held in all divisions
of play. Campus Recreation reserves the right to change tournament
qualifications with little or no advance notice. |

The Department or Campus Recreation is looking for individuals
to work in intramurals as Supervisors and Officials. Supervisors
are hired at the beginning
of the Fall Semester and
work all of the activities during
the school year. Officials
are needed for various sports
throughout the year. No experience
is necessary in order
to officiate. Campus Recreation will provide
training clinics prior to sports
to assist officials in gaining
basic rule knowledge. Working
in Campus Recreation provides the employee
with the opportunity
to work a flexible schedule,
meet friends, and earn a competitive
wage. In order to
officiate, please attend the official's clinic for the desired sport,
on the date located on the front of the brochure.
Officiating is an EASY way to make money right on campus! |

As always, the UNF Intramural department is looking
for ways to improve and keep moving forward.
We always appreciate comments or ideas on how we
can develop a better program for you, the students.
Please feel free to contact the Intramural supervisors
or Justin Cato, Intramural Coordinator, if you have
any ideas on how we can improve. Our job is to ensure
that the students have a fun, safe environment to
play sports right here on campus.
We look forward to a great year and hope to see you
out at the fields!
