If no ID is available and their name is not on the official roster (on IM Leagues) they will not be allowed to participate. In the event this causes a loss or a forfeit, the game will not be rescheduled and no make-up game will be granted. Likewise, the use of an ineligible player or participant in a game will result in a loss for the team with the ineligible player and may suffer possible team disqualification from the league/tournament. A. STUDENTS - All matriculating students (full or part-time) with Coles/Palladium/Brooklyn Athletic Facility privileges are eligible to participate in the NYU Athletic department s intramural program. B. FACULTY/STAFF - Faculty, administration, staff, and alumni and their spouses or same-sex domestic partners with Coles Sports Center memberships are not eligible to participate in intramural sports but are eligible for select intramural special events.

A. TEAM ROSTERS All participants MUST register their name, student ID number, and email on the appropriate team roster via IM Leagues to be eligible for competition. All Rosters must meet the minimum requirement (gender specifics and/or number of participants) before a team can be approved to participate in any said tournament or league play. All Players must be added before the stated deadline to do so, or at the approval of the Intramural Coordinator. a. PLAYER MOVEMENT - Players are allowed to switch teams and may be added or dropped up until the day before the opening contest is scheduled to begin (at 11:59pm) or as otherwise stated. Following the deadline, players are no longer able to move to other rosters unless otherwise approved by the intramural coordinator. B. PLAYING ON MULTIPLE TEAMS Participants may only play on multiple teams within a sport/activity if both teams are in separate leagues (e.g. mens or womens, and co-rec). Players cannot play on multiple teams within the same league or switch teams at any time in any league. However, participants can participate in as many teams in different sports/activities as they desire. For example, a player may participate on a team in the men s basketball league as well as a team in the co-rec basketball league. A player cannot play for two teams in the men s league. C. GENDER RESTRICTION In leagues/activities which offer two distinct leagues for men and women, women have the option if they choose to participate in the men s league.

The levels of each sport are generally divided come playoff time into Competitive and Recreational brackets (see: Playoffs explanations below) B. INDIVIDUAL SPORTS There are also a variety of individual sports and events which offer similar competitiveness and leisurely participation. Each of these sports are usually not separated based on experience or ability, and are geared toward enjoyment and self-improvement rather than serious competition. C. SCHEDULES Starting dates for league registration as well as dates, times, and locations for all games and events will be located on IM Leagues, with a more personal directory of each participant s upcoming games and/or events on their IM Leagues profile page. a. GAMES Games for most team sports will be scheduled once per week unless otherwise requested by the team. Schedules will differentiate depending on sport and the time it is offered. b. ADDITIONAL GAMES - In the event of defaults (see below), captains are able to pick up the available game for their team. All captains will be notified of the available game via e-mail. The first captain to respond will be granted the game for their team. The game will count, and will remain as scheduled. D. PLAYOFFS A single-elimination bracket is used for all team sports in determining a league champion. Playoffs will split the leagues into two levels of competition, with those finishing above.500 winning percentage in one bracket, and those finishing the season below a.500 winning percentage in another. Games will occur until there is one team remaining and will be declared the champion. E. TOURNAMENT/EVENT FORMATS Tournament formats vary depending on the type of event and facility availability.
