Intramural Quiz - Process for the Captain's Meeting

Following the close of registration (Monday, January 13) the captain will receive an invitation from IMLeagues (our scheduling website) via email from the Intramural sport convener inviting you to join your team that your Intramural sport convener has created under your name. This email invite will be sent to the email you registered with. Please log in to IMLeagues (or create an account if you do not already have one) and on your Home Page you will see a “Pending Invitation” to join the team, click on this invitation.

You then must pass a Quiz to join your team’s roster. There are links to the information required to answer the Quiz questions which you will need to open in new tabs/windows in your browser.  A minimum score of 18/23 is required in order to be added to your team’s roster. If this score is not achieved, you will have an unlimited number of attempts to complete the Quiz. Once you pass the Quiz, you must read and accept our waiver to play Intramural Sports at 深夜福利站. You have now been added to your team’s roster. Once the Intramural sport convener has made you captain on your roster (does not happen automatically, usually done within 24 hours of passing quiz), you will be able to invite your teammates via email. Please note that the Quiz is not an exhaustive list of all of our Policies and Procedures. The link provided will show all IMS Policies and Procedures. 

Once you invite your teammates via email through IMLeagues, your teammates will also have to complete a Quiz to join your team’s roster. A minimum score of 18/23 is required in order to be added to the team’s roster. If this score is not achieved, they will have an unlimited number of attempts to complete the Quiz. Once they pass the Quiz, they must read and accept our waiver to play Intramural Sports at 深夜福利站.

Schedules will be posted by Friday, January 17 by 12pm at the latest. The first game of the season will begin the week of Sunday, January 19.     

If you have any questions, please visit our www.uwo.ca/campusrec/intramurals/index.html website for the answer before emailing your Intramural sport convener or Program Coordinator.

The Intramural Sports program, reserves the right to reject and request a name/photo/uniform change when inappropriate content is used by any participant team.

When choosing a team name/photo/uniform, please ensure it is in good taste and is not offensive to individuals or groups on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, gender, sexual orientation, culture or gender identity & expression. Team names/photos/uniforms must not contain profanity, racial slurs, sexual innuendo, references to drugs or alcohol, or other words that may be offensive, discriminatory or otherwise degrading in nature.

In the event a team name is rejected, we will change the team name to the captain’s last name and provide the captain an opportunity to choose a new one. Should the captain be unable to submit an appropriate new team name, the team name will remain named with the captain’s last name for the duration of the season. In the event is team photo is rejected, we will remove the team photo and provide the captain an opportunity to choose a new one.  Should the captain be unable to submit an appropriate new team photo, the team will be without a team photo for the duration of the season.

Please keep the above in mind if/when purchasing team uniforms. It would be prudent to wait to see if your team name is accepted before purchasing uniforms, or email us ahead of time at intramurals@uwo.ca if you are unsure and under time constraints.

• Maintain control over team members and spectators before, during, and after the competition.
• Ensure that you sign the game sheet. Please understand that once you do so, the score of the contest and all other information on the game sheet is official. If you do not agree with the final score please do not sign the sheet and notify your Intramural sport convener that you are protesting the score. Please also check that all of your players have been correctly signed in at each game as this affects eligibility for playoffs.

Game Day Responsibilities of All Participants

• Arrive for your game, on time, ready to play, with appropriate attire and valid photo ID.
• Participants must sign in with an official within thirty (30) minutes of the scheduled game time start.

Roster Close Dates

Please note: An incomplete roster (adding any player after this deadline for any reason) will result in the loss of half of a team’s performance bond (i.e., incomplete roster violation). It is the responsibility of the Captain to make sure their roster is completed by the roster close date and to identify any "technical difficulties" they may be having to their Intramural sport convener prior to this date.

Captain's Online Playoff Meetings

An email with playoff information will be sent out to all captains by the Intramural sport convener no later than one week before playoffs are scheduled to begin.

Captains must email the convener back with their name, team name and division to confirm they have read the email.  Please note: Failure to respond to the online playoffs captain’s meeting will result in the loss of half of the performance bond.

Performance Bond Policy and Refund Dates

• Each team must pay a mandatory performance bond fee (specific to sport/league) collected at registration. One default, captain fails to respond to the captain's online playoff meeting email, incomplete roster violation or multiple game suspension will result in the loss of half of a team’s performance bond.
• The performance bond is put in place to ensure that teams show up with the required number of participants to each of their league games.
• The bond ensures that captains respond to the required captain's online playoff meeting email, that each team roster is complete and filled out correctly with correct names, prior to the roster close date.
• The bond also discourages actions warranting multiple game suspensions or use of ineligible players.
• If a team does not default, the captain replies by email to the mandatory captain's online playoff meeting, has a complete roster by the roster close deadline, and incurs no multiple game suspensions for player conduct/game violations, the entire performance bond will be available for refund at the end of the semester/season by email, prior to the deadline; by the person who originally paid for the team.

Please note:
• Only the people who have paid for the course (team) are entitled to the refund (unless they notify us otherwise).
• Discrepancies as to the amount of your performance bond refund must be identified prior to the Last Day of Bond Pick Up by emailing intramurals@uwo.ca.

2 Strikes and You’re Out:

1st Strike – team loses half of their performance bond.
2nd Strike – team loses the other half of their performance bond (and will now have no performance bond left).

When a team loses their entire performance bond due to defaults, captain doesn't respond to the captain's online playoff meeting email, incomplete roster, or multiple game player suspensions, the team can be removed from the league immediately or at the end of the regular season (at the sport convener’s discretion) without refund. To be considered for reinstatement in the league the captain must meet with the Intramural Program Coordinator. A meeting with the Intramural Program Coordinator DOES NOT guarantee reinstatement in the league.

Performance Bond Payback: If your team shows up for your game and the other team defaults, your team will receive a small part of your opponent’s performance bond.
