All full-time students are eligible to participate. Part-time students must purchase an ARC membership for the entire semester before being eligible. Due to space constraints/demands, faculty/staff/community members are not permitted to play in the fall or winter Intramural leagues, but can play in the summer leagues.
PERFORMANCE BONDS AND PLAYER/TEAM FEES
Each team registering into an Intramural league or tournament is required to pay a performance bond. This bond is held as a deposit for a team’s attendance and conduct during league/playoff games. Bonds are fully refundable provided a team has no defaults. For some Intramural leagues and tournaments a fee is charged. These team/player fees are due at the time of registration (or as outlined on the registration page). Bond refunds are available for pick-up at the ARC Customer Service Desk beginning August 15 (summer), December 1 (fall), and April 1 (winter). All bond refunds must be picked up by April 20 or they are considered forfeit.

TEAM REGISTRATION
Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Within each league there are a number of divisions that identify the skill level (Tier 1, 2, etc) and day/time of regular season games. Many divisions fill up quickly, some within hours of registration opening online. No spaces are reserved for in-person registration.
Registration:
Fall 2015 Leagues
Winter 2016 Leagues

Registration details and a list of offerings is available online at www.gogaelsgo.com/intramuralregistration Once the team is registered and the bond/fees are paid, team captains can invite team members to join electronically. We encourage team captains to complete this quickly, as free-agents may be assigned to teams showing low enrollment numbers.
INDIVIDUAL REGISTRATION
If an individual is looking for a team to join, they can register as a free-agent for any league season. In many circumstances, teams are looking for one or two additional players to bolster their roster. Team captains have access to these lists and can invite you to join their team. In other cases, free-agent teams may be created if there is enough interest and space. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee a free-agent will get placed onto a team.
RESIDENCE LEAGUES
Queen’s offers “Res Leagues” aimed specifically at getting first-year students involved in the Intramural program. These highly-recreational leagues are offered to provide residences buildings/floors the opportunity for a weekly group activity. Basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, and innertube waterpolo leagues are offered specifically for residence teams, however many residences choose to also enter a team into our regular Intramural leagues in many other sports. The only rule – you have to live in residence.
