In addition, each team must present a valid UMBC ID card to the referee at the start of the contest. POSTPONEMENTS If playing conditions do not allow games to be played, a notice will be posted on the Intramural Bulletin Board (located on the 1st floor of the RAC) 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) may not be rescheduled. There will be no "request for postponement" from any teams. All games will be played according to the tournament schedule.
