Free Agents

Free agency is for individuals who currently do not have an intramural team to play on. Currently, the only guaranteed way to play intramurals is to find a team to join or create a team. Free agency allows for individuals to communicate and form teams. Captains may also browse listings and pick up players.  Free agents should not pay the team fee if they have not formed a complete team.
