Eligibility and Requirements

Ready to join?

Before stepping on the field or court, here's what every participant needs to know about eligibility, conduct, and fair play at Southern.
Each participant is responsible for his or her eligibility status. Team captains must confirm the eligibility or suspension of players on their roster. The intramural director does not assume responsibility for checking eligibility of participants unless specifically requested to do so by a team captain.

Additional Eligibility Requirements

Team Commitment
Once a person has participated twice for a particular team in a particular sport, he or she becomes a permanent member of that team throughout that sport season, including the post-season tournament.
He or she cannot change teams after establishing playing eligibility for a team (playing in two games). This holds true even if the player has been officially deleted after this initial participation.
Unsportsmanlike Conduct & Suspensions

A player who is ejected from a contest for unsportsmanlike conduct will be ineligible for the remainder of the current game and the following game. In addition, the suspended player must arrange a conference with the intramural director before becoming eligible to resume participation.
Players who are suspended twice in a season will be ineligible for the remainder of the season and post season. Depending on the severity of the unsportsmanlike conduct, the player may be deemed ineligible for future sports participation.

Roster Additions
Eligible players may be added to teams after the season starts until the halfway point in the season. Once the next contest begins, no more players may be added to a team roster.

Penalty for Eligibility Infractions

An automatic loss (AL) will be imposed on any team playing an ineligible or illegal player, and the team may not be eligible for post-season play. The ineligible or illegal player will be suspended from further participation in that sport.


NOTE: Any information listed here concerning disciplinary action that can be taken by the intramural director is intended as a guideline for the intramural program. The director reserves the right to assess a penalty other than listed if, in his or her opinion, the circumstances warrant such action.
