Managers' Meetings and Completed Entries

Preference in registration will be evaluated according to the following criteria:

• Attendance at the required managers’ meeting
• Creation time of a completed entry (via IM Leagues) in the desired division

**Incomplete entries may not be accepted

A valid and complete intramural entry includes the following:

• Team sport entry:
  • Attendance at the required managers meeting
  • A completed entry (via IM Leagues) in the desired division
  • Minimum one team member listed
• Individual or Dual sport entry:
  • Attendance at the required managers’ meeting (for events requiring manager meeting
  • A completed entry (via IM Leagues) in the desired division
  • Minimum one team member listed – Individual events
  • Minimum two team members listed – Dual (two-person team)events

Individual flyers which contain more detailed information are available for each intramural activity.  These flyers list the different leagues, days, and playing times for each activity.  All individuals attending the meeting should sign in when they arrive.  Attendance at the managers’ meeting and a completed entry on IMLeagues guarantees inclusion into the sport, but not necessarily in the requested division.

If there are more entries than available spaces for a particular activity, a waiting list is created.  If a team is removed from a league due to forfeits or defaults, the team on top of the waiting list is given the first opportunity to fill the vacancy.  If the first team on the waiting list is unable to fill the vacancy, the second team on the list will be contacted.  This process continues until the vacancy has been filled or all teams have been contacted. 

Team managers who miss the managers’ meeting are required to pass an intramural competency test covering both intramural policies and procedures and event/activity general rules prior to their team being eligible for the playoffs.  Waiting list teams will be required to pass this test prior to inclusion in the league.   

Organizations entering multiple teams should make every attempt to have a representative from each team in attendance at the manager’s meeting.  Failure to do so may result in the limiting of multiple entries from one organization.
