STUDENT P£ESONNEL

Officials
Officials play an important part on the recreation
scene for without their help much of the joy of partici­
pating would be lost in hi^ly competitive situations.
Team Captains
Team captains are to have their teams ready for play
at the scheduled time, supply the scorers with the names
of team members, control the conduct of their team during
play and serve as spokesman for their team if disputes
occur. Since the program is offered in part for the friend­
ly contacts it can provide, the captain is expected to
serve as a leader in maintaining a high standard of sportsracinship among the members of his team.
B.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Eligibility
1. All regularly enrolled students and faculty are
eligible to participate in the Intramural-Recreation pro­
gram.
2. No player may play on more than one team in a
given sport or activity.
Forfeits
1. If a team or contestant fails to appear at the
appointed place within 5 minutes after the scheduled time
for the contest, the official in charge, ^ his discretion.
may declare the game forfeited to the team or contestant
ready to play.
2. A team shall forfeit any contest in which it uses
an ineligible player.
3. Two forfeits by any team or individual in a given
sport results in elimination from the league or tournament.
Protests
1. All protests must be made in writing and presented
to the Intramural-Recreation Director within forty-eight
hours after the contest in question has been played.
2. When a protest situation occurs, the team captain
must notify the officials and the opponents immediately
that the game is being continued under protest. Time, score
situations and other pertinent factors should be noted by
the officials and the protesting team. Judgment decisions
-4-

by officials cannot be protested.
3. Eligibility protests should be called to the atten­
tion of the Intramural-Recreation Director before the off­
ending team plays another game.

of the league schedule. Games postponed in elimination
tournaments must not slow up the normal progress of the

Health and In.iuries
The Recreation Office is concerned about the health
of all the participants, therefore, individuals with health
problems are asked to report to the Director before parti­
cipating in Intramural-Recreation activities. Injuries re­
ceived during play should also be reported to the Director.
Sportsmanship
College students are expected to behave as mature
individuals - - even in competitive play situations. The
fun of participating is lost when contests are won through
dishonesty and bickering over rules. A voluntary program
is dependent upon the enjoyment and satisfactions it pro.vides to the participants. Consideration for your fellow
student, for the rules and for the officials will make the
game more enjoyable for all concerned.

ity. These should be picked—up at the conclusion of that
activity schedule.
