After reading some of your responses though, I worry that I might not have the rulebook memorized quite well enough although I have read through the rule and case books cover to cover several times.
Thanks for the advice to a real newbie!

Welcome to the forum rekent! Intramurals is how I started, and I know you and I are not alone in that sense. A lot of the guys you'll talk to started doing intramural ball while they were in college.
If you have the rulebook memorized, there may be something wrong with you haha. By all means, read it as much as possible and know it cover to cover, but if you try to quote a rule exactly to a coach, he'll look at you like you're crazy.
