    The schedule for the season and playoffs can only be obtained on the Intramural website.

Therefore, the only way to access the schedule is by visiting the Intramural website.

    A. False
    Explanation
    Intramural regular season and tournament games cannot be rescheduled. Once the schedule is set, it is difficult to make changes due to various factors such as availability of facilities, participant availability, and coordination with other teams. Rescheduling can disrupt the entire schedule and cause inconvenience to all the teams involved. Therefore, it is not feasible to reschedule intramural games.

    A. 4
    Explanation
    In a basketball game, a team consists of five players on the court.

In order to start a basketball game, only four players from each team are needed on the court.

    If a basketball team has less than 3 players at game time, they will be given a forfeit. This means that if a team does not have the minimum required number of players to start the game, they will automatically lose the game without playing. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.

    A. Email the intramural office at [email protected]. The intramural office will email your game out to all the other teams and if your game is picked up your team will not be creditied with a forfeit. If your game is not picked up then your team is responsible for playing the game.
    Explanation
    If your team is unable to make a game, the team captain should email the intramural office at [email protected] at least 24 hours before the game. The intramural office will then email your game out to all the other teams. If another team picks up your game, your team will not be credited with a forfeit. However, if no team picks up your game, your team will still be responsible for playing it.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    A player can play on both a men's competitive basketball team and a men's intermediate basketball team during the same season.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A player cannot play on both a men's competitive basketball team and a men's intermediate basketball team during the same season. This is because competitive and intermediate teams are usually organized at different skill levels, and players are typically required to choose one team to participate in for a given season. Therefore, it is not possible for a player to be a part of both teams simultaneously.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Jewelry may be worn during intramural games.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Jewelry should not be worn during intramural games to prevent any potential injuries or accidents. Wearing jewelry can increase the risk of getting caught on equipment or other players, leading to sprains, cuts, or other injuries. Therefore, it is not allowed and the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Basketball teams must wear like colored shirts/jerseys to all games.  Any team that fails to do so will receive a default.  If a team gets 2 or more defaults they will not be allowed to participate in the tournament.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Basketball teams must wear like colored shirts/jerseys to all games. This rule is in place to ensure that teams are easily distinguishable from each other during the game. If teams do not comply with this rule, they will receive a default, meaning they will automatically lose the game. If a team accumulates 2 or more defaults, they will be disqualified from participating in the tournament. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct as it accurately reflects the given information about the requirement for teams to wear like colored shirts/jerseys.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Ejected players are suspended indefifinitely from all IM contests until they meet with the Intramural Coordinator or Assistant Intramural Coordinator.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because it states that ejected players are suspended indefinitely from all IM contests until they meet with the Intramural Coordinator or Assistant Intramural Coordinator. This means that if a player is ejected from a game, they will not be allowed to participate in any future IM contests until they have a meeting with the coordinator or assistant coordinator. This rule is likely in place to ensure fair play and sportsmanship in IM contests.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The main form of communication from the Intramural Office to the captain is:

    A. By email
    Explanation
    The main form of communication from the Intramural Office to the captain is by email. This means that the office primarily uses email as a means of contacting and sharing information with the team captain. It is likely that important updates, schedules, and other relevant details are communicated through email to ensure efficient and timely communication between the office and the captain.

However, this protest must be made before the next live ball is put into play. Therefore, the statement is true.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    During a tournament, teams often have to play on different times, days, and locations than they do during the regular season. This is because tournaments usually involve multiple teams from different locations, and it can be logistically challenging to schedule all the matches in a way that accommodates everyone. Therefore, it is common for teams to have to adjust their schedules and play at different times, days, and locations during tournaments.
