Upcoming Intramural Events

Hello everyone. Here's a look at the upcoming University of Iowa Intramural events. These events are open to all university students whether you were all-state in high school or closer to what you would consider "athletically challenged". It doesn't matter if you couldn't shoot a basketball or throw a baseball without looking like you were a five-year old throwing with his wrong hand. Students are encouraged to participate in any and all events. And, to get to the point, they are cheap.

The next event upcoming is wiffleball. The deadline for this event is Wednesday, March 5th at 4:00 p.m. so start getting your teams together now if you're interested. It's only $15 per team which if you divide it really isn't that much at all. You can have up to 10 players on the roster while six can be on the field. The tournament, which is single-elimination, will be held Saturday, March 8th through Sunday, March 9th at the Main Gym of the Field House. Games will be played from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. each day.

If wiffleball isn't for you then maybe a trio of Intramural contests and games are. Billiards, darts, and Silverstrike bowling will be held at Brother's Bar and Grill. Singles billiards and darts, as well as Silverstrike, will be held on Monday, March 10th, while doubles billiards and darts will be on Tuesday, March 11th. It's only $3 for singles in billiards and darts and Silverstrike, and $5 for doubles. The deadline to sign up for these events is Thursday, March 6th at 4:00 p.m.
