Rules
I.
Purpose
The purpose of the IFC/Pan-Hellenic
Sports Program is to determine an overall intramural sports champion for the
year.
A trophy will be awarded at the end of each year that will be
returned before the end of the next season. The
Organization’s banner will
also be posted on the RWC Wall of Fame.
II.
Divisions
A.
Fraternity
Divisions
Because of the number of
organizations, the Fraternity competition will compete in three
separate divisions during any
seasonal sport. The Gold Division will
consist of the top six (6) fraternities, the black division will consist of
the next six
(6), and the White Division will consist of the rest of the
fraternities. Each season, in each sport, the winner of the
Black Division
will have the opportunity to move up to the Gold Division the following
year. The winner of the White
division will have the opportunity to move up
the the Black Division. The 6th place team in the Gold Division
will move
down to the Black Division for the following season. The 6th
place team in the Black Division will move down to the
White Division for
the following season. In the event that it is not clear which team should be
in the Gold Division, the
following would be used for priority:
1.
Gold: places 1st - 5th
2.
Black: places 7th - 12th
3.
Other divisions (non-IFC participation the previous year)
4.
New Teams (by order of previous year overall point total)
5.
Gold: 6th
place
A similar structure will
be utilized for placement into the Black League from the White league. In
the event of a
tie with no head-to-head result, the previous year’s
standings will determine placing.
NOTE: Concerning the
All-University Tournaments, the Gold Division teams will be placed in the
Comp or Comp A
league tournament, and the Black/White Division teams will be
placed in the Comp B (or Rec tournament if no Comp B
is offered). Written
requests must be submitted to change tournament status.
B.
Sorority
Divisions
Sororities will follow a similar
structure for Division I sports. The above rules will be consistent, with
the only difference
being that there will be five (5) teams in the Gold
Division and the remaining teams will be in the Black Division. The 5th
place team in the Gold Division will move to Black and the 1st
place team in the Black Division will move to Gold in
subsequent seasons.
III.
Points
A.
Sports
Points will be awarded based on
final regular season standings. The Gold Division will be placed 1st
through 6th
and the Black Division will be placed 7th
through 12th (For Panhellanic it shall be 1st through
5th and 6th through
remaining # of teams) The White
Division will be 13th through last. The formula for points is as
follows:
(# of
eligible organizations + 1 - place of finish) x (weight of sport)
Note: Number
of eligible organizations will be the maximum number of teams that
participate in the initial sports considered
for greek
points (Soccer and
Volleyball) at the start of the calendar year in the Spring Semester. If an
organization drops
out during the year, it
does not affect the possible
total number of points earned per sport for each team. If an organization
is
added during the program
(after the first sports of the spring semester),
they may participate in the divisions but will not
earn points towards the
current year’s
standings.
In
addition, an organization that goes undefeated (no losses or ties) in a
Division I Gold Division sport, a bonus 10 points are
awarded (IFC
only). If there is a tie, points will be divided evenly among the tied
teams. A team that forfeits once during regular
season or post season for
any reason listed in the IM Team Captain’s guide will lose 50% of the points
earned for that sport.
A team that forfeits a second time loses all points
earned for that sport. Forfeits during individual events or one-day events
will
result in loss of all points for that sport.
In
addition, an organization that wins a championship in the Competitive (or
Competitive A) division tournament will receive a
bonus 10 points
(IFC only).
B.
Meetings
In addition to earning points in
sports, each organization has the opportunity to earn twenty five (25)
points each
month by attending a monthly meeting held by Intramural Sports
for IFC/Panhellanic participants.
The meetings will be conducted to discuss
intramural matters in order to keep all fraternities/sororities informed
of
the program. In September's meeting, motion for rule revisions will be put
on the table for vote at October's
meeting. 50% + 1 in favor of the motion
will pass the rule revision. Meetings are held the first Thursday of each
month (unless otherwise notified) at 12:15 noon. The meeting places will be
determined at a later date.
C.
Other Provisions
A.
Games
cancelled due to weather conditions, facilities, mutual agreement, or other
reasons will not
be rescheduled. Standings will be based on the total number
of games actually played.
B.
In the
event that at the conclusion of the regular season, a tie exists in an
outdoor sport (Flag
Football, Soccer, Softball, Baseball) for first place of
the Gold or Black league, or a tie exists
between teams up for relegation to
the lower league, and the existing head-to-head tiebreaker
procedures cannot
be utilized due to a rain or lightning related weather cancellation between
those
teams in a previously scheduled game, then Intramural Sports will
re-schedule the game prior to
the end of the tournament at a day and time
where available facilities can be found
C.
Interleague
games in leagues with 6 weeks will be played in week 1.
