Guidelines
Injuries
Clarion University and the Intramural Recreation and Fitness office assumes no liability for injuries sustained before, during, or after participation in intramural contests or practices. Individuals injured during competition should notify the event supervisor immediately and complete an injury report form. First Aid and CPR certified students or professional staff members will only administer first-aid within their training limitations. Yearly health examinations are strongly recommended. University policy requires that students have medical insurance coverage to be eligible for participation in university-sanctioned, sponsored, and/or approved activities. The assumption is that students who are participating in such activities are covered by medical insurance, and proof of this coverage can be produced upon the university’s request.

Officials
Student officials are provided for each game. Officials and intramural supervisors are responsible for the conduct of the individual players as well as spectators during the intramural activities. Officials are instructed to remove from the arena any person(s) engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct.

Protests
Only protests of eligibility are accepted in any sport. All protests must be submitted, in writing, to the director within 24 hours after the contest has been played.
Forfeits
Any individual or team that is not ready to play within 10 minutes of the scheduled starting time of an activity will forfeit that contest. Any individual or team leaving the area of play before a contest is completed or before it is terminated by the officials will forfeit that contest and be charged with a loss. Any individual or team receiving a second forfeit for any reason will automatically be dropped from further competition.

Defaults
If a team realizes ahead of time that they will not be able to participate or field a team for a scheduled game, they make default the game and avoid receiving a forfeit. In order to default a game, a team captain must notify the office before 2:00 p.m. on the day of the game. A team is allowed to default two contests during any sport season. The third default will result in team being dropped from future schedules. Defaults are not granted during playoffs.

Sportsmanship
Good sportsmanship is vital to the conduct of every contest. In order to maintain proper conduct during each event officials and supervisors shall decide whether to warn, penalize or eject persons or teams exhibiting poor sportsmanship. ALL DECISIONS ARE FINAL! Evidence of unsportsmanlike conduct includes: using profanity, derogatory or abusive remarks toward an opponent or official; arguing with officials concerning decisions; engaging in any action intended to physically harm an opponent or official (striking or shoving - Automatic Ejection); participating under a false name; and acting with disregard for the rules and regulations of the program.

A team is responsible for the actions and conduct of their team members and spectators before, during, and after a game.

 

Awards
Championship T-shirts will be awarded to each individual winner or member of a championship team. If there is more than one division in any sport of recreation activity, awards will be given to the winners of each division.
