Number of Games - All teams will be scheduled to play six (6) regular season games unless otherwise specified. On average, most teams will play approximately one game per week with no games played during holidays or the week of Reading Week.  

Length of Games - Most games are 55 minutes to 1 hour in length including time to warm-up and breaks between halves/periods (unless otherwise specified)

Default/Forfeit Rescheduling - Games that are recorded as a default will be rescheduled to the end of the season if space and time allows and the opposing team agrees. Games that are recorded as a forfeit will not be rescheduled. 

• It is important to let your captain, opponents and League Staff know as soon as possible if you or your team can not attend a game. Teams with frequent forfeits will be removed as it ruins the experience for all involved.

Playoffs - Playoffs will begin immediately after the season has ended. Any team that is eligible for playoffs will be scheduled for their first playoff game with up to 3 or 4 playoff games maximum. Teams will be split into tiers for each skill level with Tier 1 bracket winners being labelled as the division champions. Playoffs will end before the start of the examination period begins. 

More information regarding Intramurals, including Spirit of Competition, eligibility and season structure can be found on the Intramural Handbook! 
 

All currently registered UW students with valid WATCARD as well as UW Staff, faculty, alumni and spouses with a WR Membership are eligible for leagues and tournament.  

All Waterloo Students - WatCards will be checked at EVERY game. No WATCARD, no play

• Students not registered in at least one on-campus courses (DE courses do not apply), on a co-op term, or a valid off-study term must purchase a WR Membership to be eligible for leagues and tournaments. Memberships must be purchased BEFORE they participate. A player caught participating without a Membership may result in suspension from the league as well as the team's removal from further play

Varsity Student-Athletes - A current varsity athlete is ineligible to participate in a sport that gives them a physical and mental advantage from conditioning, training and/or coaching. This is designated by the payment of varsity fees. Outside the inter-university season, only 2 current varsity athletes per team are eligible to participate in a sport that they are deemed to have an advantage and must be in the competitive division.

Non-Waterloo Students/Community - High school, WLU students and community persons are ineligible to participate in Intramural Leagues and Tournaments

Please note: Captains are responsible for the eligibility of their players. Players under suspension are ineligible to participate. 

You may play for only one team, one level, per league sport (i.e., a player cannot play for both a "Beginner" and a "Competitive" division team). Any exceptions are made upon the discretion of the Recreational Sport Coordinator, (i.e., Ice hockey goalies can play for more than one team but only in that position, and as long as they are currently registered on a roster) 

Beginner -  A league for first-time participants or those who have had very little experience playing the sport before. The league is mainly to be focused on the social aspects of having fun while providing a learning experience and a great opportunity to be active. In this league, competition is not the focus, but instead the focus is on learning and improving skills, understanding rules, as well as being surrounded by peers and friends while doing so. 
Intensity Level: LOW 

Semi-Competitive - A league for participants who have some skill and partial experience playing the sport. The league is equally focused on being social and competitive with participants having a basic understanding of the sport, its rules, and its strategy. 
Intensity Level: MODERATE 

Competitive - A league for participants who have a high level of skill and many experiences playing the sport. The league is focused on being competitive but still being able to enjoy the social aspects of the sport. Participants have a great understanding of the sport, its rules, and its strategy, going above just the basics.   
Intensity Level: HIGH

Warrior Recreation believes the true essence of sport is to strive for personal achievement and excellence through a full and honest effort. By doing so, an individual can learn many positive qualities such as commitment, integrity, and cooperation. It is important that an environment is created, within Warrior Recreation, which supports and nurtures this learning. Warrior Recreation has established the Spirit of Competition program to aid in providing such an environment.  

The Spirit of Competition emphasizes that Integrity, Fairness, and Respect are the foundation of the intramural leagues. By voluntarily participating in a Warrior Recreation league or tournament, ALL participants agree to the following:  

• Participate with integrity, and to strive to win only by legitimate means
• Respect and adhere to both the written rules of the sport, including the eligibility and conduct terms, and the accepted rules of fair play
• That violence and intimidation have no place within Warrior Recreation and refuse to use such tactics
• Maintain control of myself and my teammates
• Respect official's and accept their decisions without argument
• That teammates and opponents are worthy of my respect and shall be treated accordingly
• Behave graciously in triumph or defeat
• Not to play under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Teams will be rated on a scale of 0 to 8 from the opposing captain and the officials to determine their SOC rating for that game. Teams must have an average rating of 5 or higher to be in good standing for playoffs.
