I came to work in the Intramural Department at the University of West Georgia around 2004. At this time, our team registration was a nightmare. Every team had to fill out a roster waiver form and get it signed by all team members. The team manager had to come to our office and pay for the team. During the registration period, it was just about impossible having to sign the teams up for certain leagues and taking their money. I would have students standing all the way outside the office door waiting to be signed up. Another issue was that our department was taking in several thousand dollars and we had to secure the money in a safe and then deposit it at the cashier's office. Our department decided to come up with a registration on-line. Our ITS department did a wonderful job of setting this up, but there were a lot of problems as we started using this program. Also, this program required us to go through Banner and Banner was often offline and not working properly. Also, there was no way that the students could pay on-line. Also, since our ITS department was under-staffed, when a serious problem came along, there was no one to assist us in some major problems.One of our personnel in Campus Recreation heard about the IMLeagues. After research, our Campus Recreation Director and Sports Director decided that our department would try IMLeagues. We are presently using this and my workload has been reduced tremendously. The students are registering and paying online. We love the new system and the students love the new system.The personnel at IMLEAGUES (Ben and Doug) have been excellent in working with us to get the process going. They are always there to help me out, and it is a joy working with them.Thanks to IMLeagues—my stress level has decreased tremendously.

IMLeagues has made my job as an Intramural administrator so much easier. Instead of spending six hours to create game schedules and playoff brackets then cross referencing the games to ensure the facility were not double booked, I am currently only spending two hours to schedule things. IMLeagues has given me the opportunity to focus more on student development (officials and participants), instead of creating schedules and inputting results. Plus, Doug, Greg, and Ben are great at answering questions and walking the students step by step through the site, who are struggling. I would highly recommend IMLeagues to any Intramural program, regardless of the size of the program.
