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.

Fall Indoor League

Ian Brown — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:46:17 +0000

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*.

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

GAMES	Games are played Monday nights at the Sportsdome on Hamner Street, in one of five timeslots between 6:00 and 10:00 pm.
FEES	The fee for Fall Indoor is $120.
PAYMENT	You must pay on-line via ODSA. They accept VISA, MasterCard, and Paypal. (There were problems in the spring when this was first set up—those have been solved.) If your case is extraordinary, contact our treasurer, Becki Couling, at treasurer@barrieultimate.com.
TEAM MAKING	At registration every player must self-assess his/her abilities. Teams are then selected by the league convener, Tyler Cochrane, with the intent of balancing gender split, speed, handling, height, and experience.
GROUP ENTRIES	Barrie Ultimate does not allow complete teams to register together. We encourage players to register as individuals or couples (spouses, car-poolers, etc.), and will make sure that all couples play together.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.
JERSEYS	All players are expected to have a home and away (white and red) jersey. League jerseys are superlight Patagonia Capilene 1 dri-fit shirts and cost $30. You can pay for a jersey when you register and Ian Brown will be distributing them at the Sportsdome.

Tonight’s games are a go

Ian Brown — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:59:19 +0000

Captains on the individual fields will make their own judgment, but right now there’s no reason to cancel tonight’s games. The city has closed the baseball fields, but not the soccer fields at BSC.

BSC games rained out

Ian Brown — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:57:11 +0000

Tonight’s games at the Sports Complex are cancelled due to the rain.

Notes on summer registration

Ian Brown — Fri, 01 May 2009 21:14:13 +0000

Some comments on the registration for summer rec league.

REGISTRATION

If you haven’t already registered for Rec League, do so now! The registration will close today or tomorrow—depending on when Talena starts assembling teams. If you have any questions, contact talena@barrieultimate.com.

Registration is a two-step process:

Register as an ODSA member here. (Membership type is “Ultimate Organization Club Members”)
Once your membership is activated (check your email), go through the registration here.

JERSEYS

If you’ve already registered and you ordered a jersey, it’s not going to be mailed to you. You’ll need to see me (Ian) to pick it up. I’ll be keeping the box of jerseys in my car trunk for the first few games, and will try to visit the various fields. (Also, don’t worry if, say, you ordered a medium and you want a large. We’re just using the ordering system to make payments easier.)

If you still want a jersey, you can pay cash ($30) when you see me.

PROBLEMS WITH REGISTRATION

We switched registration from ITSportsNet to ODSA for this session. The basic reason for this was that ODSA provides our insurance and required that every member register with them to get coverage, and we didn’t want people to have to visit towo sites to register for the league.

The ODSA site is brand new and has had problems. Chris Lowcock, the ODSA admin, has been dealing with them as quickly as he can, but I know that some people have found the new registration process frustrating.

I’d like to hear what the problems have been so I’ve created a posting on the forum to let you give feedback. If you had problems, post up here.

April 6 games are cancelled

Ian Brown — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 19:52:26 +0000

The wind storm last night has blown down the Sportsdome, so the games scheduled for April 6 are cancelled. We don’t know yet if or when we can schedule the last games. We’ll post on the website and send out an email when we know more information.
