All current UMBC students (full or part-time), faculty and staff. Each participant must be registered and have signed a waiver form.

All participants should check prior to play to make certain that their personal insurance will cover any injuries that may occur during intramural participation.

All rosters will be checked prior to the start of the season. Names appearing on more than one roster will be checked with captains of involved teams. If the problem cannot be resolved, the player(s) in question will continue to play for the team which he/they initially registered. Maximum of 12 players per team roster. NO ROSTER ADDITIONS AFTER THE TEAM'S SECOND GAME.

If a player participates on more than one team in the same intramural event (may not participate in two leagues, excluding men's and coed or women's and coed) the player and the teams involved are subject to the following:

Automatic release from team:

Tournament format will be determined by the Tournament Director depending upon the number of teams entered in the tournament.

All players must be present in order to be signed in prior to participation in each game with all required information on the game score sheet. Any players not signed in will result in a technical foul being assessed when the player is inserted into the game. In case of forfeit, all players in attendance must sign-in.

If playing conditions do not allow games to be played, a notice will be posted on the Intramural Bulletin Board as far in advance as possible. Postponed games will be rescheduled at the end of the season. If the outcome of the game(s) will have no effect on the playoffs, the game(s) will not be rescheduled.

There will be no "request for postponement" from any teams. All games will be played according to the tournament schedule.

If a team can no longer continue to participate, the captain of that team must obtain the "Team Withdrawal Form" from the Tournament Director. All remaining games will automatically be forfeited to the scheduled opponent.

Forfeit time will be ten (10) minutes after scheduled starting time. The decision of forfeit will be made by the Tournament Director or by a designated official.

Reasons for forfeits:

There is a non refundable $50.00 entry fee due at the Managers. Meeting. This fee is collected to offset the additional costs of the officials and championship awards for this weekend event.

Protests may be filed to question the eligibility of players. Protests may also be filed for questions of rules interpretations, not judgment calls. An "Official Protest Form" will be available at game site. If at all possible, the protestable situation should be solved at that time. If not, the officials will announce that the game is being played under "protest". If the protesting team eventually wins the game, the protest should be withdrawn, unless it may involve a question of player eligibility. The written protest must be accompanied by a $10.00 protest fee. That fee shall be returned if the protest is upheld. That fee, however, shall be forfeited if the protest is denied.

The "Official Protest Form" must be filed with the Tournament Director within 24 hours of the activity. All protests will be reviewed in a timely manner.

Ejected players/coaches must leave the activity area (out of sight and sound range within one (1) minute). A player or non-playing coach can be ejected without a warning or "T"'s for flagrant fouls, unnecessary actions, profanity and/or conduct. A player receiving a second technical foul is ejected from the game and must leave the activity area. Fighting will result in immediate ejection from the game. A disciplinary hearing will be held, and possible additional disciplinary action will be taken after review of the incident.

Ejections will result in an automatic one (1) game suspension for the next scheduled game. (The player is not allowed in the building for the next game.)

All injuries, regardless of their severity, must be reported to the officials. This will be recorded on the score sheet. The Tournament Director will attempt to contact all injured players that evening to check on their status.

If an injury appears to be serious:

Any injuries occurring during intramural participation will be treated by UMBC Training Room Personnel or by Student Health Services. No participants are allowed in the Training Room to obtain tape and/or other "services".

There will be no inner clothing available for intramural participants. Although not mandatory, it is highly recommended that teams have the same color jersey or shirt. Scrimmage vests will be provided. At game time, if there is a problem with colors of shirts, a coin toss will be done. Participants must wear proper gym attire, no street clothing permitted.

A player is not allowed to wear any jewelry (exceptions: medical IDs, religious jewelry).

All participants must wear proper footwear. No loafers, no stocking feet, no bare feet, no street shoes, etc. Tennis shoes only !! No hiking-style shoes/boots.

Captains and/or team representative must "sign out" basketballs from the event supervisor in RAC. A validated ID card must be presented in exchange for equipment.

All friends and spectators of teams must be kept away from the team area on the floor. Each team captain is responsible for the conduct of everyone in their immediate area. Spotters or score keepers must make themselves known to the officials. No chairs or benches are allowed on the sidelines. No food or drink allowed on the floor.
