The Guelph Gryphons Intramural program will look different in Fall 2020 due to Covid-19. See below for new rules and protocols designed to keep you safe! Limited in-person Intramurals will be available as well as E-Sport opportunities!

Players can sign up for Intramurals as a team or free agent.
If you’re registering a team, you’ll need to identify a team captain.
The team captain is our main point on contact that the league office communicates with for any league specific information.
Some of the duties of the team captain include:
All other captain information including: captain's quiz, rule books, schedules, stats an standings can be found on IMLeagues.
If you’re registering as a free agent, we will place you on a team of fellow free agent’s.
Free Agents are individuals that have registered to a sport/division. We take all the Free Agents for all the different sports and divisions and create teams that are solely Free Agent players. Each Free agent team is denoted with an "x-" in front of their team name (i.e "X-Spain" or "X-Blue Jays").
All other information about your free agent team including: rule books, schedules, stats an standings can be found on IMLeagues.
If you're ready to register, please follow these steps below:

Please read the COVID-19 protocol for live Intramural leagues that are running in the Fall 2020 season.
Student, staff, faculty and community members’ health and safety is our top priority. We have a shared responsibility to observe all virus precautionary measures in our operations and everyday routines in order to minimize exposure to COVID-19.
The following general protocols will apply to all Intramural leagues played in-person at the Athletics Centre for Fall 2020 season:
For the Fall 2020 season, we are committed to a return-to-train environment that focuses on personal fitness/wellness as well as socialization. This current phase does not currently include any return to competition elements. Therefore, all live Intramural leagues will be offered at an Open Fun league level with no playoff component. All games will be monitored by a league official, which means teams are self officiating games. League monitors will sanitize any shared equipment during the set-up and tear down process.
We have built-in a 30-minute buffer between games this season to allow for current teams to exit the field of play safety before the next cohort of teams arrives to play. Monitors will also sanitize any equipment that was used in the previous match before the next game begins.
As part of our continued contact tracing efforts, the following new protocols will be enforced for the Fall 2020 season:
The Intramural Office will not be open to the general public during the Fall 2020 season. We will however continue to serve our Intramural leagues and participants in a virtual environment. The league office can be reached at 519 824 4120 x56137 or at iplayim@uoguelph.ca.
We will be accepting a limited number of in-person appointments should we not be able to resolve an issue virtually.
Participants can book an appointment using the following link: uoguel.ph/imbooking
If the daily attestation through the self-assessment tool tells you to stay home or if you have a presumptive case of COVID-19 we ask that you follow these steps:
We look forward to continuing our Intramural Program this semester and feel confident in the protocols and procedures we have put in place to ensure the healthy and safety of all our participants. Have a fun season and best of luck in all your games.
The Provincial Government has introduced a new COVID-19 framework. To find out how this will affect you and our programs, please click here to visit gryphons.ca/What’s New. Everyone is required to complete the U of G COVID-19 Screening Form prior to every visit > uoguel.ph/COVID19screening
Varsity Athletes in a return to train scenario are still considered varsity athletes and continue to be ineligible for intramural sports of the same sport they play.
Varsity players may NOT take part in Intramural competition in the sport they play intercollegiate, players who quit or have left the intercollegiate team are not allowed in their respective sports until the FOLLOWING ACADEMIC YEAR after they have quit or their eligibility expires.
To remain consistent and to be fair to all participants, other forms of photo ID are NOT accepted. It is the only way we can truly know that you are a valid University of Guelph or Department of Athletics member paying membership fees. Requiring valid IDs is consistent to gain access to the Athletics Centre, Library and Guelph Transit. We are trying to stay CONSISTENT by enforcing the same procedures in all areas.

There are TWO steps when registering an Intramural Team.
FIRST – Team captains must pay for the Intramural team on uoguelph.ca/connect or in person at Client Services in the Athletics Centre. Team captains pay the bond for the team ($250 for Ice Hockey and $75 for all other sports). The bond is returned in full if no fines are applied to the account. A team can be fined if they default a game, forget to submit their roster on time, player misconduct, or lost or damaged jersey/equipment.
SECOND – Team captains must register their team roster at IM Leagues (opens in new tab). View FAQ “How do I create a roster and apply players to my roster?” for instructions.
There are TWO steps when registering as an Individual/Free Agent.
FIRST – You must pay to register on connect (uoguelph.ca/connect) or in person at Client Services in the Athletics Centre. The fee to play as a free agent is $20 for Ice Hockey and $10 for all other sports.
SECOND – You must log on to IM Leagues (imleagues.com/Guelph) and create an account. The Intramural Office can then add you to the X’s/Free Agent team you signed up for in Connect. All free agent teams are made up of individual players and the teams have an X in front of the team name (e.g. X-Lightning).
Once your captains has created a team on IM leagues, you can sign in and join the team. Our online video slideshow explains how to create your IM Leagues account and how you join a roster on IM Leagues.

Unfortunately this happens from time to time. It is best to contact the Intramural Office as soon as you notice an error. The Intramural Office can be contacted by email at iplayim@uoguelph.ca or by phone at 519-824-4120 ex. 56137. The Intramural Office will look into the error and make amendments online when necessary.
When you register or join a team on IM Leagues, you will have accepted the waiver.
Every division in our competitive brackets have playoffs.
Teams - Every team in the league makes playoffs REGARDLESS of standing in the regular season.
Individual Players - Players must participate in at least ONE THIRD (2 OF 6) of their team's regular season games to be eligible to compete in the playoffs (special eligibility rules apply for Ice Hockey leagues).
Come to the IM Office and we will sort out the reason why you are not appearing on the scorecard. If you are eligible to play for the team, you will be given an OK TO PLAY slip.
Team schedules will be posted on the IMLeagues website. These schedules will be posted shortly after late registration closes in the Fall and Winter semester. These schedules will tell you where your games will be played, who you will be playing, and the time of your game.
The Protests and Appeals (P&A) committee deals with suspensions, ineligible players and any other misconducts or incidents that occur during intramural games. Meetings are held EVERY TUESDAY AT 6:30pm IN THE IM OFFICE. You MUST attend a P&A before you are allowed to play again.
Yes, you can play on more than one intramural team if your teams are playing in a variety of sports. You can play on more than one team in the same sport, however, only on one co-ed team and one male or female team. You cannot play for 2 co-ed, 2 male, or 2 female teams of different divisions (A,B,C). Ice hockey is the exception. You can only play on ONE Ice Hockey Team, regardless of division or gender.
Once your team is paid in Connect, each player will need to create an account in IM Leagues. If players already have an account from a previous year they need to login and join the team. Our online video slideshow explains how to create your roster on IM Leagues and how your teammates can join your roster on IM Leagues.
