If an intramural participant is ejected from any intramural contest, they are immediately ineligible for further competition, until they are cleared by the Intramural Sports Coordinator or his/her designee. It is the participant's responsibility to schedule an appointment with the Intramural Sports Coordinator to review his/her behavior and subsequent eligibility to continue in the Intramural Sports Program. In addition, any unsportsmanlike conduct by a player or fans may cause their team to be disqualified.

Participants should be aware that there is a risk of injury in participation of intramural sports due to the inherent nature of the activity. Individuals are encouraged to have a physical examination and to obtain adequate health and accident insurance prior to participation. Individuals participate in intramural activities at their own risk!
