Important:  Tyler has put everyone on a team.  If you haven’t paid, you cannot play.  Bring a cheque for $150 made out to “Barrie Ultimate League” and give it to Tyler before your game.

Registration is now open.  Click here to get started.

The deadline for registration is Friday, September 19 (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*.

You can only register online— no paper registrations! Also, you can’t play until we’ve received signed copies of the Waiver and Code of Conduct.

Before you can register, please review the Skills Self-Assessment—you’ll need your five self-rankings to register.

* If you’ve got exceptional financial circumstances, please contact Kristy, our treasurer, before the deadline. Ask nicely and she might cut you some slack.

I’ve set up separate forum discussions for each tournament, here and here. This is also the same weekend as Stall Fall, so it’ll be a busy weekend of ultimate! More info after the break…

Fundraiser Hat Tournament, North Bay

Here’s the email that Deb Dugas sent me:

Hi Guys,

I know I haven’t been around much this summer… but I am planning on playing in the fall. I just wanted to pass along this tounament information to those who might be interested in playing. It is just a one day fun tournament foundraiser for a girlfriend of mine who’s 13 year old daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor in May… she has had 5 operations and is on her way to recovery, but it has been a long road. They are staying in Toronto for rehab and it is getting pretty costly for them so we are doing what we can to help them out. Would really appreciate it if you could pass this info along to whoever you think might be interested.

Thanks
See you soon
Deborah Dugas

HI All,

Just wanted to send a brief hello and ask you to book Sat Sept 13th to be here in the Bay for a one-day Ultimate Hat tournament (enter as an individual). I will be running games during the day and a birthday pub at night as a fundraiser for Shan and Syd.

Syd has been doing better but still has a long road to go in her recovery. She is still at a rehab facility in toronto Sun- Thurs and is able to come home for the weekend. Costs continue to be difficult so all the proceeds from this event will go to them!!

All the details have to be worked out but Jen McNutt Bywater will be setting up an evite message at a later time: but the date is secured!! I know Shan has missed you all and is really hoping you will be able to come and see her for a good party on the 13th (Shan’s birthday is the 14th and she NEEDS/DESERVES a good time with all her buddies - and hates being a ‘Debby Downer’ so she just wants your smiles and laughter). Please let me know if you are able, ultimate play will probably be about $20 per player (it is a fundraiser so…) and the pub like $5 - $10…

Even if you’re currently out of province or country, we hope you can come!!! Don’t forget to spread the word as the more the merrier!!! Thanks!!

Cheers, Erin

The junior open team went 5-2 to finish second in the preliminary round—they get an automatic seeding in the semifinals.

The junior womens’ team went 2-4 in the initial round, so will need to win the C pool to get to the championships. Canada and the USA both won their first two games, so the head-to-head match-up (Thursday, 12:00 EDT) will decide who goes on.

UPDATE:
The junior open team lost in the finals to the USA, 17-7.

The junior women finished the medal round in fifth. Japan won the tournament.

If you can’t pay on-line, come on down to the British Arms tonight (7-10pm)—Kristy will be accepting cheques.

We will accept groups of up to six players. We will attempt to place the entire group on the same team, but will not guarantee this—team balance will take priority.
