The Office of Recreation Services is committed to making experiences with intramurals as enjoyable as possible. Many times, participants have questions for the Office regarding many aspects of the intramural program, such as policies, site locations, and participation.
The Office of Recreation Services has experienced some questions that have been frequently asked by patrons of Bucknell University. Below is a listing of some of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) by the students, staff, and faculty here at Bucknell.
- Where is the Office of Recreation Services? - The Office of Recreation Services is located in the Gerhard Fieldhouse at the Kenneth Langone Athletics and Recreation Center. The offices are found just off of the indoor track.
- Where can I go to pick up/drop off entry forms for Intramurals? - The place to pick up and/or drop off entry forms is outside of the Office of Recreation Services, by the Intramural and Club Sports bulletin board. Entry forms are located under the boards, while the drop off boxes are located to the right of the boards.
- What happens if I cannot attend a captains meeting? - While captains meetings are not mandatory, you are strongly encouraged to attend. All information and policies discussed at the meeting will be the captain's responsibility to find out and share with his/her team.
- Can I add players to my team during the season? - During the Intramural regular season, you can add as many players as needed. However, once the regular season ends, rosters are frozen for playoffs and no additions will be accepted.
- How do I add players to my roster? - First, you must pick up an entry form for the sport in which you want to add players. Second, you must have all added players print and sign their name on the sport's consent form. Finally, drop off the roster additions at the Office of Recreation Services between 10 AM and 4 PM Monday through Friday. Additions submitted after 4 PM will not be added until the next day, and submissions after 4 PM on Friday will not be added until Monday. Additions will NOT be accepted at game sites.
- Do I need to show ID at all Intramural contests? - YES. All students must show proper Bucknell ID in order to be eligible to play that night. Participants will not be allowed to play if proper Bucknell ID is not shown.
- Why am I not on the gametime roster? - Most likely, a participant will not appear on the gametime roster for one of two reasons: 1) The participant has not signed a consent form for the sport, and/or 2) the player was added after 4 PM that day and will not appear on the roster until the next day. If either scenario happens, the participant will not be allowed to play until either case has been remedied. If you feel there is a mistake, please let the Sports Supervisor at the game site know.
- What sites are used for intramural activities? - For our indoor activities, most games will be played inside the Gerhard Fieldhouse. For outdoor activities, most games will be played at the Bucknell West fields, located by the modulars. The Office of Recreation Services will let team captains know if there is a change in game sites.
- How can I find out if outdoor activities have been rained out during the day? - To obtain information about rain-outs, call 570-577-1073 (Office of Recreation Services) one hour prior to your game. An office assistant will give you the status of games, or if no one answers, a message will be left on the voice message system stating the status of games. If the message has not been changed, assume that games ARE being played that night.
