All students regularly enrolled at Susquehanna University, faculty/staff, and their spouses will be eligible to enter any event sponsored by the Susquehanna Recreational Sports office.

    All participants must present a current, valid SU I.D. to the appropriate Intramural Sport personnel prior to participating in any intramural sport contest or event.

    A person can participate for only one team per sport or contest (the team captain is responsible for monitoring and enforcing this for their team) except for participation in either a mens/womens team, and a co-intramural team at the same time. The team they first represented will be the only organization for which a person can play for the remainder of the sport or contest being played. (PENALTY: The player may be barred from further IM play for one calendar year and the offending team will forfeit all games played with the illegal player).

    Any player using an assumed name will be subject to a ruling by the Intramural Sports Staff. (Penalty: player may be barred from all Intramural Sports for a period of one calendar year.) The team for which they played under the assumed name will forfeit all contests in which this individual played and may also be subject to a ruling by the Intramural Sport Staff.

    Each person participating in Intramural Sports is responsible for his/her own eligibility. Any question concerning eligibility should be referred to the Intramural Staff and a ruling obtained prior to participation. Eligibility rulings will be made on the basis of information presented to and obtained by the Intramural Sports Staff.

    Any team using a player who does not meet the eligibility rules will forfeit all contests in which the player participated.

Professional Eligibility
    Any person who has established his/her self as a professional in any sport will be ineligible in the sport or its related counterpart. The Intramural Staff will make rulings on all questionable cases.

    Definition of a pro: A professional is a person whose livelihood is dependent in part or in full upon participation in sport. (This may include fees for coaching, presenting clinics, monetary prizes, etc.)

    A person who receives professional coaching which constitutes an unfair competitive advantage will be ineligible for participation in that related intramural sport. (Factors considered may include fees, skill level, credentials, duration.)

    Any person accepting commercial sponsorship which leads to an unfair competitive advantage (i.e. travel expenses, entry fees, equipment, apparel, priority facility usage) will be ineligible in that sport and its related counterpart. This does not affect the club sport eligibility rule nor does it affect team sport sponsorship.

    An individual may regain eligibility after a three year grace period.

Intercollegiate Athletic Eligibility

    A person who has won his/her varsity letter or award (i.e. trophy, plaque, jewelry, certificate, jacket, etc.) in a sport or its related sport at Susquehanna University, a four-year college or university, or two-year junior college, will not be eligible to compete in that sport or its related counterpart for a period of two school years after the awarding of the letter. Upon termination of the two year grace period, only one varsity letter winner will be eligible to compete for a team in their sport or its related counterpart.

    A person who was a member of an intercollegiate athletic team, but did not receive a varsity letter or award as stated in above in a sport or its related counterpart at Susquehanna University will not be allowed to compete in that related intramural sport for one year.

    If a student practices with a varsity team for any period of time, they are ineligible to compete in that sport and in its related counterpart in the intramural sport program during that school year unless a letter is secured from the varsity coach of that sport before he or she participates in the intramural sport stating that the participant is not varsity material, nor will they ever be.

    A freshman participating on an athletic team will be permitted to play that sport and its related counterpart in intramural sports their sophomore year if a letter is secured for the Intramural Staff prior to any intramural participation from their coach stating that they are not a member of the varsity team.

CLUB SPORTS
   All intramural participants who also compete for a club sport in the same sport must enter to play in the A league and a maximum of two club players may participate on any one team.
