After interviewing a couple more sources who participate in intramural sports, a senior and a freshman, there seems to be a consensus that there has been an improvement in the officiating, particularly in indoor and outdoor soccer.
The level of competition has increased, and the number of forfeits has decreased. According to Ross Winter, the IM Sports Coordinator, the number of teams in basketball, flag football, volleyball and softball has increased almost 20 percent from 2011-2012 to 2012-2013, or 641 teams to 780 teams.
While it is difficult to quantify the the level of competition and the quality of the officials, the number of teams increasing certainly means an increase in participation.
