Hello, Before we launch into anything else and lose anyone's interest, we would like to draw everyone's attention to a number of resources aimed to help teams with rules knowledge and spirit guidelines which can be found here www.wfdf.org http://www.wfdf.org/index.php?page=rules/spirit.htm http://www.wfdf.org/index.php?page=rules/index.htm We will aim to circulate any new resources that come to our attention that we think could help with this matter. So, without further ado, we would like to announce the creation of a committee aimed at supporting protection and promotion of spirit of the game in Ultimate in the UK. We have identified a number of issues which we believe need some attention, but would also like to ask for your feedback on any issues or suggestions you might have on this subject. If you have do have any points you wish to raise then please follow this link and fill in the form http://www.ukultimate.com/spirit_game_general_comments . While we discuss these points with a view to passing our recommendations on to the UKU, it is important to understand that all clubs, teams and individuals are responsible for their own levels of spirit. Please make every effort to fill in spirit scores accurately at tournaments. These scores are being collected by the UKU and this information will help us to come to less subjective conclusions and therefore provide better recommendations to the UKU. To start off a bit of thought, some of the issues we're hoping to cover are educating players, especially new players, about spirit and supporting players and teams to address low spirit scores. This includes consistency, both in the giving out of spirit scores and the display of spirit itself across the UK and divisions, and also dangerous play, how it can be interpreted and the impact it has on players and the game. We would also like to note at this point that we are not forming as a sanctions committee to punish teams or players who are 'badly spirited'. Many thanks The SOTG Committee _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/ We want to hear all your funny, exciting and crazy Hotmail stories.
