20. Forfeits and Protests

Forfeits

  1. If a team or contestant fails to appear at the scheduled place within five (5) minutes after the scheduled time for the contest, the Intramural Office shall declare the contest a forfeit to the team or contestant ready to play. If neither team is ready to play, both teams will be given a forfeit. Members of the squad ready to play will be given winning points but their names must be entered on the score sheet and signed by the captain of the team.
  2. Any team forfeiting two games will be automatically dropped from competition.
  3. Forfeits will result in any team member or manager participating in a fight.
  4. Round Robins/Double Elimination: The first forfeit eliminates a team from further competition. However, a team may return to competition by paying a $20.00 forfeit re-entry fee. The re-entry fee must be paid in the Intramural Sports office before 4:30 p.m. of the day after the forfeit.
  5. Round Robin/Single Elimination Play: A forfeit eliminates a team from further competition and entry points can be lost; however, paying a reinstatement fee of $20 will result in obtaining half of the entry points. If forfeit is due to event beyond control of team then points will not be lost.

Protests

  1. A protest will be entertained only when it involves interpretation of a rule or rules, or the use of an ineligible player, and NOT the judgment of an official.
  2. The protest must be made upon the field of play, before play resumes. The official shall announce that the game is being played under protest and so noted in the scorebook. The dispute will then be taken up by the Coordinator.
  3. In addition, all protests must be made in writing and submitted to the Intramural Sports Office within 24 hours after the contest in question. Should a protest be initiated after the contest, this should be made in writing and submitted to the Intramural Office within twenty-four hours.
  4. A fee of $20.00 is required before a written protest is accepted, and refunded if the protest is upheld. If the protest is withdrawn the $20.00 will not be refunded.
