Varsity Athletes: If you play on a varsity sports team, you’re welcome to participate in intramurals and recreation activities. However, if you’re in-season, you’ll need to get written permissions from your coach. 

Scheduling of Games and Events

Schedules will be posted online at www.imleagues.com/GMercyU.

Rescheduling Procedure

Some events may need to be postponed due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. The Office of Intramurals and Recreation will try to reschedule all games, but that may not always be possible because of time and space limitations. In such instances, each team will receive a “win” for that contest.

Should a team be unable to participate in a scheduled contest, a request to reschedule may be made. 

Levels of Intramural and Recreation Program Competition

Leagues: The regular season consists of a minimum of four games followed by single elimination playoffs.

Tournaments: Tournament formats may vary and are dependent upon the number of entries received. Typical formats include single and double elimination and round robin.

Playoffs: Following the regular season, a single elimination tournament bracket will be held for each league, which will be restructured to level the field of play. Rosters will be frozen after the last regular-season game. Any player who has played in at least 1 regular-season game will be eligible for playoffs.

Tournament Seeding and Restructure of Competitive Leagues: After the end of the regular season games, eligible teams will be restructured to level the field of play. Each competitive league will be divided into two groups: over .500 and under .500. After this “split,” seeding will be determined in the following order:

  1. Win-loss record
  2. Sportsmanship rating
  3. Point differential (points for-points against)
