Team Captains, please use the free agent feature on IMLeagues if your team is seeking additional players.
Please note that:
- Steps 1 and 2 can be completed ahead of registration opening.
- Playoffs: Divisions are combined for the playoffs. That means all teams will likely play playoff games on days that they do not select for the regular season. We attempt to schedule those games late at night after classes conclude or on the weekends.
Free Agent Registration Instructions
Free agents are individuals not on a team but interested in playing Intramural Sports. You can list yourself as a free agent in as many divisions within a league as you’d like. You will be visible to all site members and can request to join teams or post information about yourself so groups can request to add you to their team. Team captains can view and request free agents to join their team anytime.
List yourself when you:
- Log in to IM Leagues using your Tulane email address and password.
- Complete your demographic information if prompted.
- Find a League you're interested in playing in and use the Register/Sign Up dropdown option to select "Free Agent."

Schedules & Standings in IMLeagues
Intramural Sports schedules can be viewed by going to your IMLeagues account.
Please note:
- Schedules are subject to change. Check them weekly.
- Due to the various parades, festivals, and Mardi Gras celebrations taking place in New Orleans, Spring term Sunday leagues (Cabbageball, 3v3 Soccer, and Dodgeball) start later in the term than weeknight leagues.
- Not able to make a scheduled game? Captains can fill out the Default Request Form (at least 24 hours before your game, or by 4 p.m. Friday for weekend games) to avoid being assessed a forfeit.
- Intramural Sports makes cancellation decisions on a game by game basis. Always plan on showing up to the field of play unless we specifically inform you that there will not be a game. The main intramural sports field is a turf field, therefore the majority of games will proceed as scheduled unless there is lightning in the immediate area.
