FREE THROW LINEUP - the non-shooting team starts with their player ABOVE the blocks.

SUBSTITUTION - No On-the-fly substitution.  Subs must first check in at the score table, wait for a dead ball and a signal from the ref.  Not doing so can result in a technical foul.   

REMINDER: CARRY YOUR BASKETBALL SNEAKERS TO THE GYM! The ONLY way to keep the floors clean is to play in clean sneakers!  Refs will not be letting people with wet shoes onto the court. If you do not have anything but your playing sneakers to wear on the gym (Winter in Syracuse has now arrived!.  Get boots!), at least stop in the locker room before going to the gym and DRY THEM OFF! Wearing dirty sneakers on the court is not only discourteous, it creates unsafe playing conditions. If you see someone with dirty/wet shoes (on your team or someone else's), please remind them to at the very least dry them off. (Don't phys. ed. teachers teach this in Middle School any more?). 

One team per player!  The only exception to this rule is if a person plays on a co-rec team AND one other team.  So, if you want to play more basketball, start now putting together a co-rec team.  The deadline to register is January 25. 

Things to keep in mind:
1. Check the site OFTEN. Schedules are subject to change and can be added to at any time. The goal is to get at least 7 teams in every league. Adjustments may need to be made to league assignments if this does not occur.

2. NO ONE may play for more than one team unless one of those teams is a co-rec team (this includes women playing on a university division team, or someone who may live in a residence hall and also be in a fraternity as two examples. Have to decide which team to play for - and stick with it through the entire season).

3. All players must have their own valid SU or ESF ID card to gain access to Flanagan, and then must present that card to the officials at game time. It will be returned to you after the game.

4. NO JEWELRY. It is STRONGLY recommended that you remove any BEFORE heading to the gym.

5. CLEAN SOLED SNEAKERS make for less slippery floors. All players should carry their playing sneakers to the gym rather than wear them.

6. All players will wear matching shirts, numbered at least on the back. There will be only one team with a particular shirt color allowed in each league. If your team already has shirts, indicate the color along with the team name on the registration form. Team-selected colors will be allowed on a first registered/first served basis. Recreation Services will also have numbered shirts for teams to purchase in advance of the season at our cost of $5.00 per shirt. Referees will NOT have shirts available for purchase at game time.

7. All the courts are in the Flanagan Gymnasium. Court #1 is to the left as you go into the gym, court #2 is in the middle, and court #3, if we use it, is the one on the other side of the curtain.

8. An ejection is an automatic additional one game suspension AT MINIMUM, and could result in either further suspensions or a complaint being filed with Judicial Affairs, depending on the nature of the infraction. If at any time an ejection puts a team below the 5 player minimum, the game will be defaulted to the opponents. Ejections involving fighting, a second ejection by the same player (these carry over from sport to sport), multiple ejections by the same team (these carry over from sport to sport), or continual verbal abuse after an ejection, or any other instance where the unsportsmanlike conduct is deemed excessive, will result in additional penalties including such things as game default, additional game suspensions, league suspension, intramural suspension, and/or the filing of Judicial Affairs complaints.

9. Forfeit time is 5 MINUTES past scheduled game time. You MUST have a minimum of 5 players and a scorekeeper ready to play by that point or the game is a forfeit. If a team drops to 4 due to injury during a game, they may choose to concede (no forfeit penalty) or continue to play with 4. If a team drops below 5 players due to ejection, the game is forfeited.

10. Last, but far from least - PLEASE INCLUDE SPORT AND TEAM NAME IN EVERY E-MAIL! The intramural account receives heavy traffic from countless teams in several sports at any given time. If you do not include that basic information, we usually have to e-mail you back to ask for it before we can help you. THANKS!!!

Oh, and HAVE FUN!!!
