Women's and Co-Rec Leagues
Women's league and co-rec teams will qualify for a
single tournament bracket, respectively, unless the number of teams warrants
a division of the tournament bracket. In the event of such a division,
qualification for the upper or lower bracket will follow the procedure
set forth for Men's B teams.
Fraternity and Sorority Leagues
Fraternity and sorority teams qualify for the playoffs
based on their regular season records. A comprehensive overview of the
greek points system and playoff qualification is available in the Greek
Annual Championship Standings section of the Intramural Sports web
site.
Playoff Draw Meeting
Men's independent, women's, and co-rec teams select their playoff game
dates and times at a playoff draw meeting conducted typically during the
fourth week of the regular season. The team captain or a team representative
will have the opportunity to survey the entire playoff bracket with predetermined
game dates and times for all rounds of play. Representatives will select
their playoff position accordingly. Selection order is determined by regular
season record. Teams not in attendance at the playoff draw meeting will
be placed into the bracket at random. Once the bracket is set, no reschedules
are permitted during the playoffs except in the event of inclement weather
or conflicts created by the Intramural Sports office.
Playoff Format & Championship Games
Postseason playoffs are single-elimination tournaments for all leagues.
The champion of the men's A tournament faces the fraternity champion for
the Men's All-Campus Championship. The women's league champion faces the
sorority winner for the Women's All-Campus Championship. League championship
games also occur for men's B, men's C, and co-rec playoff tournaments.
The All-Campus Championship games and the co-rec league finals take place
on Championship Night for the particular sport. The men's B and men's
C tournament final may be scheduled for an alternate date.
