Eligibility
Current TCU students, Faculty, and staff are eligible to participate in intramural sports. Students must be enrolled for classes at TCU during the term in which they are participating. An individual may only participate on one team for each specified sport. The only exception is if you play on a men’s team and a co-rec team. Any players caught participating on more than one women’s or men’s team will be suspended. Actions may be taken against the entire team as well. It is the responsibility of the captain to inform all participants of these regulations. Intramural staffs are responsible for paying close attention to our participants. It is their responsibility to take action if they are aware of ineligible players.
Varsity Athletes
Varsity Athletes may not participate in intramural sports for their specified event. A person is considered a varsity athlete (for the purposes of intramural sports) if they practice with the team at any time or are listed on any rosters throughout the previous or present academic year. A varsity athlete may not participate in intramurals in their specified sport for one year after their last official contact with the team. Eligibility issues must be brought to the attention of the Assistant Director of Intramural Sports. The intramural staff is not responsible for checking eligibility of each participant.
Weather
Inclement weather may cause delays and cancellations in intramural sports. When a thunderstorm threatens or when the campus lightning prediction system sounds, go inside immediately for protection. The lightning prediction system will sound a single blast from its warning horn when a potential lightning hazard exists. An all-clear signal of three horn blasts will be sounded after the lightning hazard passes. If you are caught outside, stay away from any object that could act a natural lightning rod, such as tall trees. Stay clear of open fields, open water or small isolated sheds. If you are caught in an open area, crouch low to the ground; do not lie flat on the ground. Get away from fences or other metal objects.
Intramural sports will continue through light rain. No rain cancellations will be made before 3 p.m. in the scheduled day of play. Once play begins it will be up to the intramural supervisors to cancel or delay play based on the weather. Heavy rain may cause the fields or atmosphere to become unsafe and dangerous for the participants as well as staff.
If at any point the tornado siren sounds, cease play immediately and seek shelter. The closest shelter from the intramural fields is the Greek housing.
