What is the most unusual collegiate intramural sports program you’ve ever run, and how successful was it?

Once a year there was a 24-hour intramural competition: relay runs, co-ed volleyball, dodge ball activities, etc.

InnerTube Water Polo at the University of Virginia. AWESOME! It went over incredibly well. I don't work there any more, but I'm sure if you contacted the department at UVA, they can give you the 411 on the program!

Around the Thanksgiving Holiday, try Frozen Turkey Bowling On Ice, if you have an ice arena on campus. Participation can be very high, and you can go through many students at one time on the ice, as you bowl sideways with the ice partitioned. Use regular bowling pins, get the frozen turkeys donated by a grocery store, and give them away to the highest scorer(s).

We had intramural Battleship! Three member teams are formed and are given three small buckets. Each team has a canoe and are turned loose in the pool. The end result is you want your team to sink everyone else's "Battleship" by dumping water into their canoe. You can either bale yours out or dump into the neighboring canoes! Great fun!

Blacklight Volleyball Tournament: we have gotten shoplights and blacklights which we hang from the catwalks in the main gyms (3). We cover over all available light sources and purchased glow volleyballs. The teams wear white shirts so they can see each other and we have a blast playing in the dark for several hours.

I have run glow in the dark badminton with glowing shuttle cocks and glow necklaces used to out line the court
