For those of you trying to check the schedule on your iPhone (myself included), turns out the menu plug-in I had installed for the site didn’t work so well with touchscreen—sorry about that. I did a quick upgrade tonight to resture the basic operations, may come back to it soon to do some other overdue upgrades.

If you’ve got an awesome ulti pic that would look good as a banner, send it to me!  (ian@barrieultimate.com)  I can’t be the only one tired of that old photo of Troy Strachan?

Barrie Ultimate’s own Julie Kramer is one of the organizers of Gender Blender, and she asked me to post this up!  —Ian.

What: Gender Blender is a one-of-a-kind tourney that’s on the top of the bucket list for ultimate players.
Where: Fergus (near Guelph)
When: Friday June 3rd to Sunday June 5th, 2011

Details: www.genderblender.org

It’s a 2-day tournament with the fun starting on Friday night with the Blender Party and continuing with other events including the All-Star Game, catered meals, Talent Contest, cups tournament, Saturday Night Party and much more.… Until you’ve experienced it for yourself you can’t really understand how rare and exceptional it is.

I hope you’ll come to this tournament and experience it for yourself, or, if you’ve been before spread the word around the world as we continue to attract teams from near and far (including Barrie).

We look forward to seeing you in Fergus!

We just got an order of discs in stock.  They are Daredevil Discs in a variety of colours: lots of white and translucent white, limited quantities of yellow, orange, light orange, green, pink, sky blue, and mauve.

Discs are only $12 each.  If you’d like to buy one, drop me an email at ian@barrieultimate.com, or find me on the field.  I play Mondays (Team C) and Thursdays.

LATE REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE HERE:  http://www.ondisc.org/event/BUfallin

Go dig the indoor shoes out of the closet—ultimate in the Sportsdome starts on Monday, September 28!

Registration is now open.

Our insurance is provided by Ontario Disc Sports Association, so all players must register with them.  If you are already an ODSA member (i.e., if you registered in the spring) you can start the league registration here.

Otherwise, you must first register for ODSA.  Start here.  You will receive a confirmation email—check your spam folder if you don’t see an email right away.  Once you’re registered and confirmed for ODSA, you can then proceed to the league registration.

The deadline for registration is Friday, September 25th (or once we’ve hit a full ten teams). You must have fully registered and paid by the deadline or you will NOT be put on a team. No excuses, no exceptions*.
