After you have created the team, you can navigate the full list of Intramural leagues by selecting “activities” at the top of the page and then searching for the league you wish to register for. IF you have left GeeGeeReg and are logging in with your personal account; you must first select your team, found on your account page, before registering the team.  

Once you have found the league you wish to register for, select “add.” The league will be added to your cart. A pop-up will appear, and you must select “go to checkout” to verify and complete your transaction.  

The purchase window will appear with all information related to your transaction. Please enter your method of payment and agree to the waiver (you are only able to use a credit card to pay online). Once you have filled out all necessary information select “complete transaction” to finalize your purchase.

You can make roster modifications on the website until the end of registration. Ensure you have selected the team you wish to make modifications to and add or remove players as needed. You can make modifications online until the end of the registration period. 

When should I be creating my team roster? 
Rosters should be created prior to the registration date and may only be created by the Team Captain. Please note that a created roster does not guarantee registration. 

When is the last day for my roster modifications? 
Team Roster Modifications are the action of adding, removing, or switching players on a roster. Online modifications can only be made by the team captain during the registration period. Rosters will be locked on the last day of registration, September 12, 2023 at 4:00pm. After this time, rosters cannot be modified online. During the season, roster changes may ONLY be completed at the intramural office during office hours, or by appointment. A $20.00 fee will be applied for each roster change. For all roster modification, captain consent is required, as is a signed roster modification form. Please be aware each intramural participant must participate in two regular season games in order to be eligible for playoffs. 

Number of Players 
The minimum number of players for indoor sports is 8 while the maximum is 14 (for registered team leagues) and 12 (for individual leagues). The minimum number for a field sport is 8 while the maximum number is 14. The minimum number of players for arena sports (hockey) is 10 while the maximum number of players is 16. All members of the roster must provide their student/member/employee number along with a valid and up-to-date e-mail and phone number as a means of communication. Only those on the roster may participate in Intramural contests. Up to three alumni/external/community members per team are permitted.

Can I have spares on my team?  
You can have spares on your team; however, the captain must add them to your roster (either at the start of the season or via a roster modification). They will not be allowed to play otherwise.  

How do I know if I am eligible to play intramurals?  
Students who pay ancillary fees & full-time employees are automatically eligible to play intramurals. Students who do not pay ancillary fees (i.e. those in co-op), external community members, and part-time employees must purchase a basic membership for the duration of the league to be eligible. If you are unsure if you are eligible, check your statement of account. If you see that you were charged a sports fee, you are eligible to partake in intramural sports. 

Mixed Leagues: Team Gender Ratios 
Two self-identifying females are required to be on the court at all times for all other indoor gym sports and dome/field sports. Please note that although a team may be created with the minimum number of females required, it is highly recommended to have more on the roster. 

Are there any restrictions on naming my team? 
Team names must not contain special characters (commas, apostrophes, colons, and hyphens). Doing so may result in a glitch in your team page, and we may not be able to accommodate roster modification requests for your team. Team names must be appropriate (intramurals reserves the right to change any inappropriate team name). Our staff will use their discretion and evaluate all team names on a case-by-case basis.  

How do I know which skill level (competitive vs recreational) is more appropriate for my team?

• Competitive leagues feature players with lots of experience playing a particular sport (i.e. high school, club leagues). Players are often extremely knowledgeable about the sport, and the pace is much faster and more competitive. 

• Recreational leagues feature players with limited experience playing a particular sport. They are usually beginners and are still trying to master the fundamentals of the game. The pace is much slower, making it more fun for our novice players. 

Can I switch leagues if I accidentally register for the wrong one?
If you accidentally registered for the wrong league, the intramurals administrative team can switch you into a different league if there is still room available. To request a change, please send us an email at [email protected].

Can I play intramurals if I don't have a team?   
Yes! We offer many individual leagues for this exact case. You sign up as an individual, and we create teams of individuals that compete against each other. 

How do I know if I am eligible to play intramurals?

Do individuals have to show up to captains’ meeting day? 
Individuals do not have to show up to captains’ meeting day. We will provide you with shirts/jerseys on the first night of leagues. 

How are teams created? 
Once the registration period closes, the Intramural staff will create teams, taking into consideration the registration prompts. Although there are no guarantees, the intramural staff will do their best to accommodate all requests and to make teams as even as possible. When we make individual teams, we do our best to make the most balanced teams taking into account the following: 

• Teammate requests 

• Gender 

• Skill Level 

• Position 

Team captains will be notified of their position as soon as the teams are complete. Intramurals reserves the right to rebalance any teams for fair play and parity throughout the season. 

Can I request to play with friends in an individual league?   
Yes! We allow all participants in individual leagues to make requests to play with specific participants. You will be prompted to enter any teammate requests while you register. The requests must be reciprocal. Please note that the more teammates you request to play with, the less likely we can accommodate your request. 

How are team names determined? 
The Intramural staff will assign names to each team. Team names are generally based on a theme. 

What to expect prior to the start of the league? 
Once teams have been created, each team will be appointed a captain.  Team captains are expected to contact his/her team members prior to the start of the league.  Expect an email from the Intramural administration regarding the individual meeting that is held every semester on captains’ meeting day.
