Intramural Program
PURPOSE
Randolph-Macon College’s intramural sports program promotes a healthy lifestyle for students, faculty and staff by providing a variety of athletic activities in which all persons can participate regardless of their degree of athletic ability. A successful IM program depends heavily on student involvement in the planning, operation, and assessment of events. Students are encouraged to participate as officials, referees, scorekeepers, timers, competitors, and members of the Student Intramural Board. These opportunities are significant for student development – completing the academic and co-curricular programs of the college.

Sportsmanship, Team & Player Conduct
As stated in the Purpose statement, the IM program attempts to promote the personal development of Randolph-Macon students through active participation and involvement in its activities. In order to accomplish this objective, the Student Intramural Board, the professional staff, and the game officials will emphasize and enforce strict rules of sportsmanship.

3. Threatening behavior before, during, or after a contest toward an intramural employee (student or professional) results in suspension for a minimum of three games.
4. Threatening behavior (verbal or physical) before, during, or after a contest toward another player or spectator results in suspension for a minimum of two games.
5. Illegally playing for more than one team results in the ineligibility of that player for the remainder of that activity, and each team forfeits all games in which the illegal player participated.
6. Damage to Randolph-Macon College (including Brock Center) property results in a two game suspension.
7. Two suspensions will result in an intramural board hearing to determine the length of suspension.
8. Two technical fouls in one game will result in a 1 game suspension. Technical’s will be given out at the discretion of the referee in charge.
9. Three technicals in one season will result in automatic suspension from the league.
