Signing Up

Make sure you are signed in with your student account, and purchase an IM Pass from https://rec.ucsd.edu/Membership/Index every quarter you are going to play. This means that if you play all three quarters, you would have purchased three passes (fall, winter, spring). Purchasing a pass for winter will not apply to spring, and you will get an error message.

Sport Eligibility

All players are able to compete in one single-gender division and one coed division per sport (Single-gender divisions are defined as mens, womens, and open) Similarly, captains are only allowed to create teams in one single-gender division and one coed division per sport. There is no limit to the number of different sports a player can participate in each season. 

Sports Club and Intercollegiate Athletes:  Playing in the same IM sport you are lettering in-Please check the participation guidelines for the allowed # of athletes per team.  

Moving from a Waitlist to a Division: 

There are a couple of ways to get your team moved from a waitlist to a live division.

• The league is full, but not every team is approved

In this case, in order to be moved from waitlist to division you must have a full team. In single-gender divisions, this means meeting the minimum number of players to fill a full team. In coed divisions, this means meeting the minimum number of both men and women on the team. Once you complete this, you will be swapped with a team that hasn’t met the requirements and was created at least 48 hours ago. Email us (imsports@ucsd.edu) if this applies to you and we will see what we can do. 

• The league is full, and every team is approved

If you meet the number of required individuals to participate, you can be moved into a division if another team no-show forfeits.  

Start of the League

Every league has a planned start date that can be seen on IM leagues when registration opens. This date is subject to change, and the official start of the league is when the first scheduled game is. This might be after the planned start date. If you do not see a game scheduled, then no game is scheduled. 

Rescheduling Games

The process of rescheduling games is as follows: 

1. 1. Send an email to the IM Office (imsports@ucsd.edu) with at least 48 hours of notice before the scheduled time of the game
      1. In your email, copy (cc) the opposing team's captain (which can be found on IM leagues) and explain why the game needs to be rescheduled and ask if it is appropriate
      2. If this request is sent within 48 hours before the scheduled game time, your team may automatically forfeit the game if not played.
   2. The IM Office will see if the game can be rescheduled. Not all games are able to be rescheduled, due to factors such as facility availability, timing, etc. 
      1. For the first reschedule request from a team, if a future date is not available for both teams, the game will be scored as a no contest and will not count for/against either team. 
      2. For any subsequent reschedule request, if a future date is not available for both teams the game will be scored as a forfeit loss for the team that couldn’t make the original scheduled time. 
      3. Note that too many forfeits or reschedules can get the team removed from the league. 
   3. A new date/time will be communicated out by the IM Office to both captains. 

Playoffs

Playoffs begin after the conclusion of the regular season, usually around week 7 or 8 of the quarter. The IM Office will create a playoff single-elimination bracket that will determine an overall champion for the sport in the season. Depending on the division and timing, the number of teams that make playoffs varies.
