INTRAMURAL SPORTS

PHILOSOPHY
In the Department of University Recreation, Intramural Sports plays an intricate part in the overall experience of a student’s college life, allowing for a well-rounded and multi-faceted education. Every person should have available to them a comprehensive, high quality recreational program which helps develop physical, mental and emotional attributes. We offer the opportunity for structured, organized recreational activities, which are to be enjoyed by students, staff and faculty of the UWG community.

HONOR CODE

At the University of West Georgia we believe that academic and personal integrity are based upon honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility.

Students at the University of West Georgia assume responsibility for upholding the honor code. UWG students pledge to refrain from engaging in acts that do not maintain academic and personal integrity. These include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, aid of academic dishonesty, lying, bribery or threats, and stealing.

CODE OF CONDUCT

The University Recreation Code of Conduct is an agreement between the Department of University Recreation and each individual who participates in Intramural Sports (student participants and employees, faculty/staff participants, etc.) by which the participant vows to not conduct him/herself in any manner that will bring a negative light to him/herself, his/her team, the Department of University Recreation, or the University of West Georgia.


Each individual who registers an account on IMLeagues.com is prompted to read through the Code of Conduct and cannot complete the account registration until he/she agrees to abide by it while participating in any Intramural Sports activity. Failure to abide by the provisions of this code could result in disciplinary action by the Department of University Recreation and/or the Office of Judicial Affairs, which may include loss of participation privileges, employment, or suspension from team activities, depending on the nature and severity of the violations. This can also include the loss of reimbursement for covered expenses.
The Code of Conduct itself is available upon request, and it can be found at any time on the Intramural Sports web page (see below).

If the Intramural Sports Staff is not notified, the team in which the participant checks-in with first will be designated as their team for the duration of the playoffs.



Article 5: Checking In

In order to be eligible for an intramural contest, participants must check in with their Program assistant/field supervisor. To check in, a participant must have a government issued ID with a clear picture. If the print on the ID is illegible, the participant will not be allowed to play until another form of ID is used. The use of someone else’s ID is a violation of the Code of Conduct and will result in punishment from UWG Intramural Sports and from the Office of Judicial Affairs.

Each sport will have a posted deadline to fill a roster. Rosters will lock at game time of a team’s scheduled game. If you are not on the roster by game time, you will not be eligible to participate.

Teams will be permitted one coach, after approval by the IM Staff. Teams wishing to add a coach to their roster must e-mail the coach’s name and UWG ID number to the Intramural Sports Graduate Assistant at least 24 hours prior to game time. Any non-students or students with previous ejections and/or unsportsmanlike conduct will not be eligible to serve as coaches.



Article 8: Ineligible Participants

If a team uses an ineligible player in league play, all games or contests in which the ineligible individual participated will be forfeited to the opponents, regardless of the outcome. The illegal player may be suspended for the remainder of the activity season and/or the academic year. In elimination tournament play, the team will be disqualified from the respective position in the bracket at the time the legal protest is honored.
