The main theme of intramural sports is friendly participation. The conduct and eligibility rules are designed to serve as a guideline for enjoyable and fair participation. They are not designed with the intent of punishment or discipline to any individual, but merely to insure that these rules are upheld. To this end, we expect/require your support and compliance to allow a positive experience. In cases in which these rules do not cover the situation, common sense and the spirit of the rules will apply. This is at the discretion of Mr. Fischbach.
