Drop-in Futsal Lottery Details

  • 60 people per session and each session has a different coloured/patterned wristband. Failure to wear the supplied wristband will result in removal from the courts, and the spot being filled by another participant if there are more than 60 people wanting to participate.
  • 3 Draws – 4:55pm, 6:55pm and 8:55pm. The first session is from 5pm – 6:45pm, the second session is from 7pm – 8:45pm and the last session is from 9pm-10:45pm.
  • Cards are taken 45 minutes before each session – cards are accepted until the draw times (4:55pm, 6:55pm, 8:55pm), however is there is a large number of participants, the draw may be carried out earlier to facilitate the extra time needed to conduct the draw. Once the Operations Staff have exited the desk to begin the draw, cards turned in after are not allowed into the draw and will be called at the end, provided there are spaces. All cards are placed into a bag and drawn if required.
  • Play again cards are collected before the end of each session (6:40pm and 8:40pm), and a separate draw is held in Gym 1 if there are available spaces 5 minutes before the non-play again draw time. However, play again cards have lower priority than those who haven’t played in the prior game times, so if the draw is already past the maximum capacity of 60, there will be no play again spots available.
  • Anyone unable to get into a session from the main draw, not the play again draw, has the option of being guaranteed to play in the next session (drawn out at 4:55 cannot guarantee playing at 8:55, only 6:55), however the guarantee does not carry over to the following week in regards to being drawn out of the final draw session.
  • Maximum: 50 people per sessions
  • Form teams of 8-11
  • 1 Innings per team (an innings ends when each batter is out or after the limit on overs is reached)
  • 6 overs per innings (teams must switch bowlers after each over)
  • 6 balls (or throws or deliveries) per over
  • The winning team stays on the court
  • If the game is tied after 2 innings, both teams leave the court
  • Games must be kept to a maximum of 30 minutes

Drop-In Sports Rules and Regulations

  • All UBC students may use the gymnasiums and studio during drop-in times, but must present their valid UBC Student Card and sign in each time they arrive.

  • All courts must be vacated 15 minutes prior to scheduled end time in order for staff to change over activity.
  • During peak evenings (ie. futsal), a draw will be performed prior to the start of the activity to determine which participants will be granted access. All others will be put on a waitlist, which will guarantee them access the following week. Please see “Futsal Drop-in Lottery Details” below.
  • At all other times, it is first come, first served.
  • Drop-in times are not intended to be for intramural team practices and as such, teams should refrain from showing up intending to use the gym for practice time.
  • Equipment is available for rent from the SRC Front Desk with valid government photo ID (exception – we will not take passports). If the equipment is damaged or not returned in the same condition, replacement fees will apply.
  • Anyone perceived to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be refused entry.
