First Come First Served!

What are a manager's responsibilities?

The manager is a vital link between the Recreational Sports Office and your intramural team. Only those who are interested, have the time, and are willing to be responsible should volunteer to be a captain.

A team manager is responsible for the following:

• Register your team ONLINE!
• Pay a refundable forfeit fee of $20.
• Be thoroughly familiar with all rules.
• Responsible for sportsmanship of your team.
• Notify team of date, time and location of contests.

How do I register a team?

1. Pick up intramural registration guidelines at the Recreational Sports Office (SRC 172) during the first week of classes.
2. You will then go online to register your team.
3. Within 48 hours of registering your team, go to the Casher's Office (SBS - 2nd floor) and pay a $20 forfeit fee within 48 hours. (The forfeit fee is refundable at the conclusion of the season if you have two forfeits or less - meaning, not enough ELIGIBLE players to start a game).
4. Once the $20 is paid, your team will be APPROVED.

HSU no longer provides credit for intramural participation.

You will be required to attend a managers' meeting, the date and time of the managers' meeting will be given to you at the time you register your team.

Community teams

NEW FALL 2012: Community teams may register starting August 20th at https://www.humboldt.dosportseasy.com. We will accept community teams in the leagues ONLY after all student teams have been approved AND if there is space in the league.

When teams have 50% or more non-students the team fee is $125-$300, depending on the sport. Individual community members that are on student teams (50% or more students) pay $20 each per team.

What is the Manager´s Meeting?

The team manager, or a representative from your team, will be required to attend the managers' meeting. If a team representative fails to attend the managers' meeting, a team on the waiting list will be given your schedule and your forfeit fee will not be refunded. The managers' meeting will take approximately 30-45 minutes. Your team roster will be turned in at the managers' meeting and your team schedule, rules, sportsmanship guidelines, and other information will be covered.

What is the sportsmanship policy?

The intramural sportsmanship policy at HSU is strictly enforced in order to uphold the dignity and respect of student officials and participants. The sportsmanship rating system works as follows:

A total of 25 sportsmanship points can be accumulated each season. Teams will play five league games during the season. Each game is worth five (5) sportsmanship points. At the conclusion of each league game, the official will rate the team using the guidelines outlined below:

• 5 points: A team thoroughly respects the official(s) calls and shows sportsmanship to the opposing
  players.
• 4 points: A team or team member fails to respect the official(s) calls and the opposing team in a
  minor way.
• 3 points: A team or team member receives a technical foul, yellow card, or shows poor sportsmanship
  to the official(s) or opposing team. Forfeits result in a 3. \
• 2 points: A team or team member is ejected from a game for poor sportsmanship, receives two (2)
  technical fouls, or receives a red card.
• 1 point: A team or team member is asked to leave the facility to restore order in the game/facility
  or if any physical violence is displayed. This is a serious offense.

At any time during league play, if it becomes impossible for a team to reach the 19 points required for playoffs, the team will be eliminated from the league and a new team will take their place.

Who is eligible to participate?

All full-time students at HSU are eligible to participate in the intramural program at no cost to the students. Part-time, out of state, and foreign exchange students will be required to pay a $2 fee per team. Faculty/staff members can participate in the intramural program with a fee of $10 per team. Extended Ed students pay $10 per team.  Non students who participate on student teams will be required to pay a $20 fee per team that they participate on. Community members can register a team for a community fee of:

Community Team Fees (50% or more non HSU players)

• $200 Soccer
• $300 Basketball
• $200 Softball
• $125 Volleyball
• $200 Flag Football

Community teams will only be accepted after all HSU student teams have been approved.  If there is still room in the league, we will fill those spots with community teams. 

If a student team has more community members than students, the team will be required to register as a community team. Before every game you will be required to stop in the intramural office and present a picture I.D. and check out a jersey. At the end of your game return your jersey and collect your I.D. If you do not have a picture I.D. you will not be eligible to play. NO EXCEPTIONS.

What if I don't have a team?

JOIN THE FREE AGENT LIST ONLINE at: http://humboldt.dosportseasy.com

If you would like to play on a team and do not have a team to play on, don't worry. You may sign up on the Free Agent List and teams who need extra players will call names from the Free Agent List. You can also register yourself as a manager and pull a list of names from the free agent list and organize your own team. Usually the Rec Sports Office does not facilitate this process, although we will help you with the process.

Who can play in tournaments?

Following the five (5) week round robin league schedule, every team with a sportsmanship rating of 19 or higher, no forfeits, and no more than two forfeits will advance to the single elimination playoff tournament. All players must play in at least two league games to be eligible for playoffs. If you play on two teams in the same league you will have to choose a team to play with in the playoffs. The first team you play with will be your tournament team, no exceptions.

Make sure to check in at the Intramural Office (SRC 172) before every game in order to receive credit for participating.

What if my team can't play a scheduled game?

If you notify the Recreational Sports Office 48 hours in advance that your team is unable to attend your scheduled game, we will notify the team you are scheduled to play and inform them that you will not be there.

If you fail to have enough players to play a game, your team will receive a forfeit and you will lose
$10 of your forfeit fee.

If your team receives two forfeits, you will lose all of your forfeit fee and be eliminated from the league, IF there are teams on the waiting list.
