INTRAMURAL DIRECTOR CLAUSE:  
The Director has the right to remove any player, from the game or league, at any time, for causing a problem (i.e. rough play, arguing with the refs or crowd, and excessive cursing).  This also applies to the friends and fans that come with each team.  If they become a problem, they will have to leave the Fitness Center and may face additional penalties with the Dean of Students.
