Flickerball may be an unfamiliar
sport to some of you. It is a local
sport which combines the skills
and rules of football, soccer, and
basketball. The popularity of this
sport has increased considerably
over the last few years. Unfortu
nately, the limited field space has
forced the Intramural Office to
remove it from the points system.
The divisions of play will in
clude Corps, Fish, Men’s and
Women’s Dorms, and Men’s and
Women’s Independent. Entries
should be turned into the In
tramural Office, DeWare Fiel
dhouse, by Tuesday, January 24.
Schedules will be issued at the
mandatory team managers’ meet
ing on Thursday, January 26, at
5:15 p.m. in G. Rollie White,
room 267. Rules are available in
the Intramural Office. Beginning
Monday, January 30, games will
be played on the fields between
DeWare Fieldhouse and Cain
Hall. Games will be scheduled at
5:00 p.m. Monday through Thurs
day and Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
through 6:00 p.m.
League play precedes the single
elimination playoffs. Winners of
the all-university playoffs will be
awarded t-shirts.
The curious spectator and avid
supporters are all welcome to
come watch flickerball in action.
Intramurals move into full swing this week with basketball already into its second round
of games and entries due on several other sports.
