Last week, intramural sports proved to be as stress-worthy as those pesky little letters we all fear and loathe. Wednesday through Friday, the sidewalk outside the Recreational Sports Facility played host to either a mini tent city or a parade route, depending on which side of “hobo” you consider the average Cal student, as eager team captains arrived late at night or in the wee hours of the morning to be first in line for the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. team sign-ups.
Apparently, Dodgeball and Ultimate Frisbee are kind of a big deal.
“Pretty much, we got there at 1 a.m., thinking that we were safe, but we still didn’t get our first, or even our second choice time. We have games at 6 o’clock on Fridays now,” said one vaguely disgruntled intramural soccer player, “It’s nuts.” Now that’s what we call dedication.
Student priority sign-ups ended on Friday, but if you’re more of the “apathetic rogue” type, the open entry period for “free agents” and teams who missed the first round starts on Tuesday at 7 a.m.

This whole process is ridiculous.
Just thinking about the night I spent last spring freezing on the cold concrete gives me shivers.
Obviously demand far exceeds supply when it comes to CAL intramurals… I suppose that a random lottery for game times would be out of the question??
No, all the diehards would complain.
