Football — at all levels — is back.

Registration for intramural flag football starts at 8 a.m. today and ends at 8 a.m. Wednesday. Teams can register on Iowa’s page at IMLeagues.com or by following the “register” link on Iowa’s intramural website.

Teams of at least five players can compete in a variety of leagues. Men can play in the open, fraternity, and residence-hall divisions, and women can participate in the women’s competitive, sorority, and recreational leagues. Men and women can also register for the co-rec division. The entry fee is $85 per team.

Divisions are split up based on specific time slots during the week. Registration is decided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The regular season will start on Sept. 6. Every team plays one game a week for five weeks, followed by the playoffs.

In the men’s and co-rec leagues, the top two teams from each division advance to the playoffs; in the women’s leagues, the top three teams advance to the playoffs.
