The following rules and regulations governing the use of all recreational facilities have been created to provide equal opportunity and protect the rights of each participant. Staff are employed to interpret and enforce the usage guidelines, as well as posted room regulations. As a member of the university community, you have a responsibility to understand and abide by these guidelines and other rulings. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Membership Services office.

Cards will be confiscated if presented by anyone other than the rightful owner. RecSports reserves the right to request identification at any time.

Use of university facilities is a privilege, and participants are expected to be good citizens and respect the rights of others. Individuals who engage in unacceptable or irresponsible behavior may have their access to facilities revoked or modified indefinitely, and/or subject to further University disciplinary action.

Entrance/Exit
Entry and exit of facilities must always be through the designated main entrance and exit. Individuals entering or exiting through non-designated doors are subject to disciplinary action.

Informal Recreation
Unreserved informal recreation activities are available on a first-come, first-served basis with shared usage and challenge rules applying. The designated informal rec activity will take priority over other uses. Basketball courts at GRE, RSC, and CLK are designated for full-court, 5-on-5 games. Courts at AHG are designated for half-court games.

Racquetball/Handball Challenge Court Guidelines:
1. Each player must sign up on the clipboard at the Challenge Court.
2. The winner of each game will call out the next challenger's name. That challenger must play the winner or lose his/her place in line.
3. A waiting challenger who leaves the gallery area to play on another court will lose his/her place in line.
4. If there are no challenges made, players on the court may continue to play on a "first come, first served" basis until a challenge is made.
5. Warm up time is limited to three minutes.
6. All challenge games are played to fifteen points (win by one point).
7. A player may win a maximum of three consecutive games. After a player has "retired" (after three wins), the next two players on the sign-up sheet will start the next challenge game.

Basketball/Volleyball Challenge Court Guidelines:
1. A challenge for the next game is issued verbally by waiting players. No one presently in a game may call "next game."
2. Only one player needs to be present to issue a challenge.
3. Losing players are not eligible for the next game unless other players are unavailable.
4. Upon winning three consecutive games, the winning team must exit the playing area if other players are waiting to play.
