How do I sign up my team to participate in the Chancellor's Cup?
In IMLeagues, simply name your team after your residence hall and choose any co-rec, open or mixed activity listed below to sign up in.
How many teams can play?
Only one team may represent the same cluster in each league activity, but up to six racers may represent the same cluster Sports Trivia. If more teams sign up than clusters are allotted, we will choose the team to represent the cluster based on when the team was created in IMLeagues.
Does this mean if there are several co‐rec flag football teams that want to play with their hall mates, they cannot play?
Of course they can play, but only one per cluster can play for the Cup.
