Rules

Awards

The most important and significant awards for participating in intramural sports are not material. However, to assure that participants will have a quality remembrance of their experience, specially designed t-shirts will be given to the overall champions* in Men’s, Women’s, and Co-Rec divisions.

Individual Participant Awards

The individual intramural champion will be the male and female who accumulates the most points at the end of each semester. Points can be accumulated on the scale listed below:

Participation – 1 point per game played.
Games Won – 1 point per game won.

If two or more participants are tied in total points at the end of the semester; the winner will be determined by the following factors in order:

Total Teams Played On
Total Participations
Total Games Won
Sportsmanship

At the conclusion of the intramural season a male and female participant will be selected as the overall “Intramural Champion”. Winners will be presented an award and have their name placed on the past winner’s banner in the North Gym.

Greek Cup Award

The Fraternity and Sorority who accumulates the most Skyhawk points at the end of each school year will be declared the Intramural Greek Cup Award Winner. Winners will be presented an award and have their name placed on the past winner’s banner in the North Gym.

Teams will be award 1st, 2nd, and 3rd points based on how they finish among the other fraternities and sororities, not the overall league.
Team must be completely made up of current members or they will forfeit the points earned for that sport.
A maximum of 125 participation points (5 teams) can be accumulated in each individual/dual tournament.
A maximum of 300 participation points (3 teams) can be accumulated in each team sport.

The Skyhawk Point System: How it Works

The Skyhawk Point System is based on a team’s ability to generate points in five different categories: participation, sportsmanship, number of games/matches/events won, meetings attended and team placement in each intramural tournament or league. Each tournament or league and its point values are displayed within this handbook. The point system is designed to reward those teams who participate in the intramural program and at the same time maintain a good level of sportsmanship. A running total of points will be kept throughout the academic year for those teams who consistently participate in the program. A team must maintain the original team’s name to be eligible for the point system. As teams accumulate points, they will be working toward levels of achievement. Teams may also have individuals participate in dual/solo events and accumulate points towards the team’s overall Skyhawk Points total.

Teams accumulating 1,600 points will have attained the gold level. These teams will have their picture featured on a banner in the Lobby of the Student Recreation Center. Teams are encouraged to participate in as many sports as possible.

Point System Breakdown

Each sport within the Skyhawk Point System will have three leagues. The leagues are Men’s Open, Women’s Open, and Co-Recreational (Co-Rec). Each of the three categories represented in the Skyhawk Point System have been assigned point values. The distribution of points in each sport can be found on the Skyhawk Point System Graph.

Participation points will make up a large number of the team’s total points. Participation points are awarded if a team competes in all scheduled events.

*Each tournament will be counted individually, and all points will be counted and applied separately.

NOTE: For each forfeit a 20-point deduction will be assessed.

Sportsmanship points are awarded according to the ratings received by a team. The ratings are based on evaluations completed by intramural staff. In order to qualify for the post-season tournament, a team must have a (3.0) “B” average sportsmanship rating or better during the regular season play. The criteria below will be used for the sportsmanship rating.

4.0 “A” – excellent conduct and sportsmanship: coaches, players and spectators cooperate fully with the officials, sport supervisors and opposing team members. The captain calmly converses with officials about interpretations and judgment calls. The captain also has complete control of the team members and himself/ herself.

3.0 “B” – average conduct and sportsmanship: coaches, players and spectators show verbal dissent toward officials, sport supervisors and/ or the opposing team members briefly during a contest which may or may not merit actions by the intramural staff. The captain exhibits good control over the team and is in complete control of himself/herself. There are no blatant displays of overall poor sportsmanship, however a member of the team may have been penalized for a nonthreatening unsportsmanlike act.

2.0 “C” – below average conduct and sportsmanship: coaches, players and spectators constantly comment, argue, and complain to intramural staff and opposing team members during a contest which may or may not merit actions by the intramural staff. Team captain has minor control over his/ her team and is generally in control of himself/ herself. Specific acts include but are not limited to abusive language, profanity toward an opponent, profanity from the sidelines, excessive arguing with an official’s decision, taunting and opponent, or obscene gestures.

1.0 “D” – poor conduct and sportsmanship: coaches, players, and spectators constantly comment, argue, and complain to intramural staff and opposing team members during a contest which merits action from intramural staff. Team captain has no control over his/her team or him/herself. Specific acts include but are not limited to fighting, profanity, or threatening behavior towards and official, a flagrant foul, profanity from the sidelines, or repeated offenses on the same player.

NOTES: In the above description, the player(s) refers to all participants on a team. Teams receiving a “C” or “D” rating must have their captain meet with Coordinator of Intramurals prior to their next contest. A second “D” rating will automatically result in being dropped from league play. No refunds will be given.

Games and matches won are applied to a team’s total points, by multiplying the number of games or matches won by ten during season play. Each sports number is listed on the Skyhawk Point System Chart. Captain’s meeting points are given each time a team’s representative attends the captain’s meeting. Placement points are awarded at the end of the tournament.
