  • Teams will play each team in their division once during the regular season.

  • There will be a play-off draw meeting to seed teams in the All-Campus Championship. Team representatives draw numbers and place themselves in the bracket. The first round of draws and placement will be made by teams finishing first in their division. Teams finishing second in their division will then draw numbers and place themselves in the bracket then the third place teams will draw and make bracket selections. Teams not in attendance will be place by the Intramural Sports Director after all teams in attendance have chosen their spots. Teams arriving late will be placed after the round currently in progress if their turn has passed.  Once a team has selected a place in the bracket or been placed, they cannot be moved to another spot.

  • Teams will be placed into 3-4 team pools by random draw according to league and play each team in their pool once.
