Re: [BD] Re: Nationals Pickups

Boston The problem, I think, is if teams drop out, they then shift the seedings of teams below them. I.e.You are the 28 seed, schedulled to play the 5v28 at 10:00 am. But the 22 seed drops out. Now you are 27 seed, and the 6 v 27 game was set for 9 am (because top 5 teams were give a late star

Re: re. [BD] Nationals seedings

It doesn't get my vote. ... way. Surely a team that finishes top 32 at tour 1 and then takes the rest of the year off isn't really worth a place at nationals? Probably true - but one could offer places at nationals based on total tour points (i.e. you have to earn it), and then do seeding of

Re: [BD] Re: BritDisc Digest, Vol 24, Issue 33

If people really are worried about 'underseeded' teams like Clapham2 and Fire2 (I don't know if its that big a deal) One solution could be to decide the seeding based on AVERAGE points per tour, rather than total? I know this might not be ideal, but its a thought, as it would correct if a very go

Re: [BD] RE: BritDisc Digest, Vol 24, Issue 8

I hate to jump in on a kit discussion these days My thinking on numbers was that it was probably for ease of distinguishing players by the opposition. E.g. they are in a zone D, and we turn over - someone has to shout 'you've got 18, I've got 7 etc.' - its easier and more polite than: 'you've

[BD] UKU Website

Dear BD As a preface, may I say I have nothing but respect for the hard work the UKU committee do... But PLEASE can we re-do the website!?!? Especially rostering? I have had to talk through the rostering procedure time and again this year to players - even people who have done it in the past -

Re: [BD] The Future of UK ultimate [was: Tour Structure etc]

I agree that the way to improve Ultimate in the long run is promotion to younger groups. But not just to build their skills early - instead, promotion in schools will increase the overall player base and the number of athletes who see it as a viable sport option. I think this can and should be on

[BD] MT3 Male Pickup offered

If any team would like a resonably experienced male pickup at the mixed tour this weekend, please let me know (I've played several years, with Hammerage, BAF, Sharks, and OW - got references if you need 'em...) Thanks -Justin __ BritDisc mailing li

Re: [BD] SoG & observers

While its interesting to note the evolution of the football Referee, I think Jon P made a valid point we need to remember when reading it - in the US, observers were brought in because cheating started happening to a greater extent - not the other way around. The same is seen here in the football

[BD] List of Pick-up Games?

Dear BD Does anyone know of a list of Pickup Games (in London, in my case)? During the week or weekend? Is this something we could perhaps have added to the UKUltimate website? I know lists like that notoriously need updating, but there seems to be know way to know where I can join a game dur

Re: [BD] Re: BritDisc digest, Vol 1 #400 - 5 msgs

To continue, perhaps to the point of mindnumbness... On Andy's point: Again, I am interpreting the rules, which says that play resumes - this implies to me that play needed to resume from some stopped point i.e. the disc is not in play when an offensive player has it out of bounds - similar to Cri

Re: [BD] Rules clarification/discussion on stalling

Ryan To give one view on your situation Many of the rules do in fact require some interpretation. I personally would not stall while the person is out of bounds - My interpretation is, where it says: "The player shall resume play at the point he or she went out-of-bounds." - This states that pl

[BD] State of Ultimate in the UK

I think the discussion on how we play ultimate here is a useful one, but lets not beat ourselves up too quickly about this. I realise a lot of people just got back from Worlds, and saw the US take most of the top 10 slots. The US game is also more physical. However, this does not mean we necessa
