• No student can sign up for both League of Legends and Valorant (they are run simultaneously)
• If you are signing up with a team, the person that fills out this form will be considered as the Team Captain. Team Captains need to sign up for their FULL TEAM.
-Make sure all team members have joined the Discord server & stay tuned for more details.
• You can sign up as a free agent/solo player and be matched to a team if there are enough free agents.
• There must be a minimum of 5 players on the registered roster.
Contact Info:
To ask any further questions please ping the @Intramural Official role or message any intramural official on Discord (e.g. jahziyah, lindashi).
Substitutes:
No substitutes will be accepted mid-league. You can sign up with substitutes when you are creating your team via the registration form. Substitutes must be from Western University.
Free Agent Exception:
We understand that free agent teams may have more trouble with communication and may not have access to subs on the team. Before playoffs, free agent teams are allowed to field any Western student (that is not registered in any Esports Intramural Leagues) as a substitute in the event that a player on their team cannot attend the match. Free agent teams are required to let the TOs know about a substitute at least 30 minutes before their scheduled game.
Forfeits:
• If you are LATE, your team will forfeit that game and receive a loss. It is your responsibility to show up latest 10 minutes from the agreed start time to be ready to play.
• Teams without the minimum number of players (5) will forfeit the game.
• All of the above will not result in a forfeit if the team gives a 24-hour notice to the TOs and their opposing team but instead, a default, which will not affect your bond.
Performance Bond Policy
• Each team must pay a mandatory $20 performance bond fee collected at registration. One forfeit or multiple game suspension will result in the loss of half of a team’s performance bond.
• The performance bond is put in place to ensure that teams show up with the required number of participants to each of their league games.
• The bond ensures that each team roster is present at the time of the match.
• The bond also discourages actions warranting multiple game suspensions or use of ineligible players.
• If a team does not forfeit and incurs no multiple game suspensions for player conduct/game violations, the entire performance bond will be available for refund at the end of the semester/season by email, prior to the deadline; by the person who originally paid for the team.
Please note:
• Only the people who have paid for the team are entitled to the refund (unless they notify us otherwise).
• Discrepancies as to the amount of your performance bond refund must be identified prior to the Last Day of Bond Pick Up by emailing intramurals@uwo.ca.
2 Strikes and You’re Out:
• 1st Strike – team loses half of their performance bond.
• 2nd Strike – team loses the other half of their performance bond (no bond left).
When a team loses their entire performance bond due to forfeits or multiple game player suspensions, the team can be removed from the league immediately or at the end of the regular season (at the sport convener’s discretion) without refund. To be considered for reinstatement in the league, the captain must meet with the Intramural Program Coordinator. A meeting with the Intramural Program Coordinator DOES NOT guarantee reinstatement in the league.
