Article 1: Identification Policy
In order to participate in any RecSports activity, all participants must show a valid photo ID issued by the school or other government identification card. An ID card must include the following information and be clearly visible in order to be considered valid: the individual's name, photograph, and identification number. Identification cards that do not have these requirements will not be accepted and the individual will not be allowed to play.
Registration for events will be clearly advertised if required before the date of the event. Many events do not require participants to register beforehand. Preregistration is encouraged in order to help us to have an accurate amount of equipment.
Students must sign in using their Student I-Card or Student ID number to participate. If student I-Cards are not present then Photo ID's are required if you present your Student ID number. For events with a registration date, players can register on IMLeagues.
Misuse of an identification card (borrowing, lending, counterfeiting, altering, etc) is a violation of the BYU Idaho Honor Code. The identification card will be confiscated and the individual attempting to use the card will be ineligible to participate. If the card belongs to another student, that student must meet with a professional staff member in order to regain possession of their identification card and will be issued a Red Card. RecSports reserves the right to handle eligibility violations without formal protest.
