The RecSports Program was developed to provide competition and
recreation during the academic year for currently enrolled BYU-Idaho
students, matriculating students (off track but returning), faculty, staff,
ward bishopric members, and spouses of students. Some eligibility
restrictions are necessary to provide fair opportunities for participation. These
restrictions have been developed by students and employees to reflect the
philosophy of the RecSports Program and campus administration at BYU-Idaho.
Individuals deemed ineligible to participate may seek reconsideration by written petition to
the Student Director / Advisor. The petition must be in memo format and
written in a professional manner. This must be done prior to any
participation. Violation
of any eligibility rule will cause a contest to be automatically forfeited. |

1.
Currently Enrolled Students:
The program is open to all currently enrolled BYU-Idaho students,
matriculating students, student spouses, faculty, staff, and leadership of
campus wards. All others are not eligible. 2.
Ward
Members are eligible to participate on the ward team of which their church
records reside, as long as they are currently enrolled students,
matriculating students, spouses of a student, or a member of the bishopric. 3.
Playing on More Than
One Team: A player may play on only one team within a given division (Independent
or Ward) offering. Participants may also play on one team in the co-ed
division in the same sport at the same time since this would be considered a
separate league offering. A player may play on a ward team and
independent team of the same sport. However, a player may not participate in
the same sport in the same division (i.e. playing on two men's softball teams
in the ward division is not allowed). Once you have played two games with one
team, you may not switch to another team without approval from the RecSports
Office. 4.
Check In: All
players must check in with a staff member or official before playing in a
game. 5.
Assumed Name: If an
individual participates using a false name or false ID, the result will be a forfeited
game, and that student will be barred from that sport for the rest of the
season. The player and captain must appear for disciplinary council. 6.
BYU-Idaho
Competitive Sports Team Members: A student is considered a "competitive
player" if they are currently participating in the Competitive Sports
Program. No more than two competitive players may participate on one team,
except for softball and soccer, which allow three players per team in any
division. 7.
Leagues are
primarily self-monitored. 8.
The RecSports
Program reserves the right to handle eligibility violations without formal
protest. |
