General IM Information

Eligibility rules are at the official Harvard Intramural webpage!

Dudley House participates in the Harvard-Radcliffe Intramural Athletic Program, together with the other 12 Harvard houses. You may participate in as many different sports as you want during the year. It is not necessary to be 'good' at a sport in order to play -- the important thing is to have fun, and the emphasis is on participation. If you are interested in helping out Dudley's intramural efforts further, any assistance in organizing, coaching or captaining a team is always welcome. Our overall rank among Harvard houses in the Straus cup competition has firmly stationed within the top four slots over the past several years. Regardless of how well we end up placing, it is always a lot of fun to play on one of the intramural teams.

Other useful IM information

Playoffs: As long as our record is .500 or better, we are guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. If it is a little under .500, we stand a pretty good chance of making the playoffs, but let's try not to have to rely on that chance!

Eligibility. Eligibility for Dudley Intramurals has been a contentious issue at times in the past. To avoid any misunderstandings, we have set up the following rules for IM participation. Please contact us if you have any questions, or are unsure about your eligibility status.

You must be a Dudley House member (all GSAS students and Dudley undergrads are automatically members). Senior Common Room members and House staff are also eligible.

If you earned a varsity letter in college (or have equivalent experience -- e.g. played on the university team in a non-varsity sport) you are not eligible for intramural competition in that sport. However, this does NOT exclude those ex- junior varsity members and club sports members.

Of course, if you earned a varsity letter in one sport, that does not disqualify you from IM competition in any other sports in which you do not have such a background. Moreover, with your experience in your sport you could be very helpful as a coach or organizer of Dudley's team, so please let us know if you are interested in playing such a role.

Complete eligibility rules for Harvard Intramurals can be found at the university's Recsport page.in the rule book!
