Q: I don’t know anyone but want to join an intramural league. What should I do?

A: Sign up as a Free Agent and you will be assigned to an existing team, or placed on a team with all Free Agents. You will have the opportunity to meet your team and choose a Captain/team name (if applicable) them at the Pre-Season Meeting!

Q: Me and my friends want to play together but we don’t have enough players to form a team. What should we do?

A: Sign up as Free Agents, but add to the notes ­and email the Sports Programs & Intramurals Coordinator to request to play together – requests can almost always be accommodated. Do not take up a team slot if you don’t have enough players.

Q: I keep getting an error ‘No Designated Alternate Key’ when registering online? What gives?

A: If you are a BCIT student or staff, an account in our registration portal has already been made for you. When logging in for the first time, you must follow the instructions on the login page to access this account. In doing so, the system will recognize you as an active student or staff, a prerequisite for intramural registration. If you’re still having issues, please contact us.

Q: What happens if I can’t make the Pre-Season Meeting?

A: The Pre-Season Meeting takes place during the time where games would take place. If you are unable to make that time on a regular basis, it may be worth reconsidering joining a committed league. If you are unable to make just the date (ie. for an appointment, one-off school thing etc), please email the Sports Programs and Intramurals Coordinator. It is especially important for Free Agents to a) be there or b) let me know in advance that they can’t make the meeting.

Q: I’ve changed my mind. Can I get a refund?

A: Full refunds will be issued prior to the Pre-Season Meeting. Refunds after the meeting (ie. once the league has begun) will be given for extenuating circumstances (ie. leaving BCIT, injury or illness etc), assessed on a case-by-case basis. You can request a refund by emailing the Sports Programs and Intramurals Coordinator.

Q: How does league scheduling work?

A: Teams are scheduled for a mix of all three game times throughout the season. Requests for certain game times can be made, however in big leagues (eg. Volleyball with 18 teams), it’s not 100% guaranteed. Scheduling requests are prioritized if the majority of team members a) have academic reasons they cannot make certain game times or b) are traveling from another campus to Burnaby Campus.

Q: How many players should we have on our team?

A: It is strongly recommended you have at least 2-3 registered subs on your team to accommodate for last-minute things that come up throughout the season such as academic commitments, illness or injury.
