Hi everyone,
There was a minor mix-up about the field at the soccer complex (BSC#3) – we DO NOT have that field until June. This means that all games scheduled there for May have been moved. I apologize for the error.
BSC#3-1 games will go at Codrington (the school field) and BSC#3-2 games will go at Allandale Heights (also school field). Please note this in your calendars!
Monday nights are full, absolutely and completely. If you really want to play Mondays, email me (Talena) and I will put you on a waiting list. If there are enough people to make two teams (so even numbers) I will do so. At present this looks highly unlikely. Tuesdays have room for 4 males and that is all – again, email me first, please. Thursdays (Competitive) are definitely taking players, so contact Jim or Tyler. The Juniors need coaches so if you’d like some extra field time, contact Julianna or Diana. (all addresses are “name@barrieultimate.com”).
OK, here they are. If you are not on the lists, it is because you need to do one of three things: pay, register & pay (late fee) or register as an ODSA member (paid at Pub Night but not yet registered). Registration has been re-opened on the ODSA website.
Teams are here - 2010_Rec_Teams
Schedules are here – Monday 2010_Mon_Rec & Tuesday 2010_Tues_Rec.
IF you are down as a (cpt) it means I’ve emailed to ask if you can at least come to the Captains’ meeting and haven’t heard back. If you are listed as a Captain but have not heard from me, I haven’t dug out your email address yet regarding the captains’ meeting, but will do so tomorrow. THANK YOU to all my volunteers!
Hi everyone,
The snow is gone, the grass is growing, and it’s time to get ready for summer ultimate! We have a great season planned for you so get your cleats out and read on for this season’s info. New stuff for each league is first, then the summary of the things that we usually do just as a reminder.
We are just in the process of wrapping up an another successful indoor winter session and it is time to start dusting off those cleats and think about heading outside. Our outdoor season will be starting May 10th and we hope to have registration up and running by Friday April 9th. Please keep checking our website for further details.
For those that are interested in playing on Thursday nights in our competitive league, start emailing your friends and getting your teams together. Also, we are very excited to announce that we now offer a Tuesday night recreational league in addition. This will be offered in addition to our regular Monday night league play.
Meanwhile for those who have always thought about becoming more involved in the league now is your chance. We our holding our Annual AGM Tuesday April 6th at 7:00pm at the Barrie Sports Dome Lounge. At the meeting we will be discussing our upcoming outdoor season including both our recreational and competitive divisions as well as the continuing development of our new Juniors league. Plus, we are always looking for volunteers to join our executive.
Hope to see you there!
Jen Callow
Barrie Ultimate President

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*.
The schedule for the day is here. The standings for the 10 teams playing are:
1st-I 2nd-K 3rd-B 4th-L 5th-M 6th-N 7th-F 8th-A 9th-C/D 10th-J
The first games are at 8:30 am, last round-robin games are at 12:30 pm, and the Championship is at 1:30 pm.
Each team has one bye so if you like sleeping in, check to see when yours is just in case!
There will be water and snacks, and a lunch BBQ will be provided. Spectators are welcome so bring them out. Canine spectators must be on leashes and cannot be used as subs.
Teams A, B, M and N, your games are on field 6, not field 3. Fields all have numbers on little signs near them so it should be easy to find!
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.
The Rec play-offs will be a tournament on Saturday, August 29 at the Tree Nursery in Midhurst. Games will start in the morning and finish by early afternoon. Games will be time-capped and shorter than the Monday night ones!
This will be updated with more information as the date approaches, so for now ask your captains if you have any questions.
GAMES FOR MONDAY, JULY 27 ARE CANCELLED.
The schedule will be shifted forward one week to make up for this, so next week you will play at the field and against the team that you would have played tonight. The following week (Aug. 10) play the original Aug. 3 schedule. I will update the schedule later this week and post when it has been done.
If your game was at the Barrie Sports Complex last week and was cancelled, we are working on rescheduling, but I need to know if enough players for each team can make a Wednesday night game. Please let your captains know before this Friday (July 10) so that we can work out either rescheduled dates or another alternative.
For future reference, if you do not hear from anyone about a cancellation but think it’s a possibility, the BSC info line for inclement weather is (705) 739-4215.
Tonight’s games at the Sports Complex are cancelled due to the rain.
As of June 1, Central is closed for maintenance. All Rec games that were scheduled for Central are at INNISDALE. The updated schedule is here: 09_rec_schedule.
UPDATE: The website schedule is now updated, and Innisdale is on the map page.
—Ian.
Here is the new list of teams: 09_rec_teams_final
Changes were as minimal as I could make them while trying to accommodate requests and skill and gender balancing.
Please make sure you read over the new team lists to make sure you know which team you are on.
Please also note that as of June 1, all games listed as being at Central will be at Innisdale due to field maintenance scheduling. A new schedule with that change will be posted by June 1.
There have been a number of requests for Rec, either to add someone (usually a friend) or to switch to a different team, so please take note:
I will NOT be making ANY changes until after the games on Monday, May 18. This is to give the captains a chance to evaluate the teams as they are and to let me know if there are any serious discrepancies. After I hear from all captains after the next game, I will look into the changes and additions I have been asked about. I will then make any/all changes at the same time, and inform everyone that is affected by them. If anyone wishes to play, or has a friend that is thinking about it, please email me (talena@barrieultimate.com) and ask me to put you on my waiting list. Girls especially, as we need more females for most teams.
Please also note that the fee for Rec is $95 as there is a late fee.
Hi everyone,
You should have received an email through the ODSA website with this attached, please let me know if you didn’t.
Here are the teams for this season!
Are Monday May 11 (this coming Monday) at 6:30 pm at these fields: North, Central, Allandale. I have tentative teams and schedule done, but am waiting to finalize them until tonight because of some late registrations. Don’t worry, you will know which team you’re on and which field to go to before Monday.
Hi everyone,
If you still haven’t registered, you can do so until 5 pm on Wednesday, May 6; but there’s a late fee of $15. This means that Rec teams and schedule will not be posted until Thursday evening. Games still start on May 11 for Rec and May 14 for Competitive. There will be an email with Rec teams and schedules that night as well as the posting, and I will then send some other things you need to know. So please READ THAT EMAIL in full.
Competitive teams, you still have some time to pay your first $100 and sign up, so even if you’ve told someone you have a team, please PAY, officially tell Jim, and make sure all your players register as ODSA members.
Talena
If you are interested in running a comp league team this summer, you need to get a $100 team deposit in by Friday, May 8.
If you are interested in playing on a comp team, post up on the forum and/or contact the convenors. The cost for comp is the $500 team fee divided amongst the team members.
The competitive league convenors are Tyler Cochrane and Jim Millington. Please contact them at tyler@barrieultimate.com and jim@barrieultimate.com.
Some comments on the registration for summer rec league.
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:
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.
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.
When registering for summer rec league, you have a number of options, now including the credit card payment we thought was set up initially. So if you haven’t registered yet, when you do so you can pay in one of the following ways:
If you have already registered, you may cancel your registration and then re-register and pay online with a credit card. If you want to do this, please email me at talena@barrieultimate.com.
You won’t be able to play until you’ve paid in full.
Once I have all the registrations in and teams/schedule made up, I will email everyone with those and a few of our policies that you need to know about. They will be posted too, and your captains will have your info so they can also let you know. That should take 4-5 days.
I know you’re all antsy to get registered for your summer season, so to ease the suspense:
Registration should be up and running by Monday. You will be able to order a shirt if you want one – highly recommended that new players order a red “away” shirt – and can pay online. Registration will close on May 1, and the first games will be the week of May 11.
If you want to see us and give us money in person (I always like having lots of cash!), a few of us exec will be at the Lockerroom on Cundles on May 1.
We still need more CAPTAINS. If you don’t volunteer, I may just pick you anyway…
As always, if you have questions about summer rec, email me at talena@barrieultimate.com.
The sports dome has been resurrected and the finals for winter indoor are back on. The schedule has been updated so look for your game time. Please tell your friends and team mates so that they don’t miss their last indoor game of the winter season.
It’s that time of year again – the snow is just a temporary glitch – so get your cleats and summer wear ready! We are expecting at least 12 Rec teams again this year, and we need CAPTAINS. As we had last year, there will be fully loaded Captain’s Packages and meetings to help you on your way. I’d also like to remind those of you wanting to play Competitive that it is team registration, so if you want to play, start looking for teammates. We will need captains for this league too, so please identify yourself on the forum if you want to captain a Comp team.
Email Talena (Summer Rec Convenor) at talena@barrieultimate.com to let me know you’d like to be a captain for Rec. Thanks to all of you that do!
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.
This coming Monday, April 6, will be the last week of the winter 2009 indoor season. The championship game will be played at 6pm between Rocket Robin Hood and The Racoons. Come out and watch the game as it will be some intense frizbee. Don’t forget to check the schedule for your game time.
Congrats to all the teams on a competative and fun season.
There have been some inquiries about summer league. Don’t worry, all your questions will be answered soon! We should have info and a schedule up in a few weeks with all the details for summer registration.
There won’t be many changes from last year, but until we’ve got everything settled, here’s the overview from 2008. If you have any questions, send them to talena@barrieultimate.com.
The seven game round robin is now complete. There will be three more games of regular season play, March 2, March 9, and March 16, with the top four teams and the bottom four teams competing against each other in three game round robins. After these games the final standings for the regular season will determine the match ups for the first round of the playoffs.
All eight teams make the playoffs with first playing eighth, second versus seventh, etc. After the first round of playoffs the winning teams will continue towards the championship game and all other teams will play consolation games. The playoff weeks are March 23, March 30, and the final, championship week is April 6, 2009. The schedule will be updated each week after the scores have been submitted.
The first seven games of the winter season have been posted. You can find the schedule under the Rec League tab. Click on Winter 2009 Schedule. There will be 13 games total, 10 regular season and 3 playoff weeks. The remainder of the regular season schedule will be posted after the round robin and the playoffs will be posted week by week after the regular season closes.
Good luck and have fun.

After the 2 pools of teams played their round robin games Jim Millington’s “Inconceivable” was set to meet Aaron Kucheraway’s “Eh” in the final.

Hi everyone,
The Rec season finals will be a playoff tournament on Saturday, August 23 at the Tree Nursery (this should not be a surprise to anyone). Games will start (as in line up and pull) at 9 a.m. Your captains will be getting details on Wed., Aug. 13 about format etc.
There will be a BBQ lunch provided after the games, and there will be cups games available, a skills competition, AND a bouncy castle for the kids (or very light adults). Please bring your kids! Fans are welcome, as always.
This is a very large topic, so we’ll start with what a foul is, what a violation is, and the “call / contest” stuff.
Basically, a foul and a violation are both ways that the rules of the game are broken. A foul is defined as “non-incidental contact between opposing players… in general the player initiating the contact has committed the foul.” A violation is “any infraction of the rules other than a foul.” So basically, if you hit someone on the other team and it affects the play (e.g. marker hits thrower’s arm and throw is affected), it’s a foul, if you break a rule but don’t touch them, it’s a violation (e.g. double team or fast count). The person that is fouled calls the foul / violation, usually, though in the Spirit of the Game with new people involved sometimes the person committing the foul/violation will call it on themselves. After it’s called, the person that broke the rules can either agree or contest (disagree), in the case of a foul; or in the case of a violation, “fix” whatever the violation was (e.g. move farther away, slow the stall count). There are specific responses to calls, contests, etc., based on the foul/violation, which are detailed in the rules. Next week we’ll look at the continuation rule, and then we’ll start in on the fouls, violations and appropriate “following actions”.
Zone is a type of defense in which you are responsible for covering an area rather than a person. The intent is basically to close off the throwing lanes on the field so that your opponents can’t throw upfield, and to force a turnover when they try it. The type of zone will depend on your team and probably your captain’s preferences, but generally there are three parts to a zone: front, mid, and deep. The people in the front are the ones on the disc, one marking the thrower and counting, and the other(s) just over 3 metres / 10 feet away from the thrower, blocking a portion of the field. The mids are (hmm) the middle of the zone, and it’s their job to cover runners in that area and / or knock down the mid-length throws. The deeps are the ones nearest the end zone your team is ‘protecting’ and they are the ones that stop the long throws – usually they are fast and tall or can jump well. They are also ideally going to call guidance to the mids when there are runners coming into their area. For more specifics, your captains will set you up!
The boundary lines are marked by cones, and in some cases there will be a painted line on the field for one or more of the boundary lines. Inside the line is IN, on and outside the line are OUT.
Whether you are in or out depends only on the first point of contact.
If you catch the disc in the air, it’s your first foot touching the ground that counts—if that foot is in-bounds, you’re in-bounds, even if you then keep running out (just back up to where you first touched down and keep playing).
If that foot is on the line or out, you’re out—the other team gets the disc.
If you’re standing still and straddling the line, you’re out.
If you can keep a body part in and on the ground and catch the disc before touching the ground with a body part on or over the line, you’re in.
If you can jump from IN bounds, catch the disc out of bounds and throw it back in before you land (if you’re going to be landing out), the disc is still good. And, you’re awesome!
When checking to see if you are in (either in bounds or in the end zone for a point), use the two closest pylons. Whether you’re in or out is up to the person with the best perspective.
If you were reading the disc overhead as you caught it, you probably didn’t have the best perspective. But, then again, neither did the guy at the other end of the field shouting “Check feet! You’re out!”. This is where Spirit of the Game comes in—if you’re out, say so. If you’re in (and think you had the best perspective), you can call back some polite version of “nope, I’m in, play on”.
As noted in last week’s tip, a time cap is a way to determine when the game ends and who wins it. As you’ve probably seen by now, it can take more time than we have good light to play to 17 points. There are two kinds of time caps, soft caps and hard caps. A soft cap is partially reliant on score – if a certain score has been reached by the soft time cap, the game ends and the team with the most points wins. Generally the soft cap is the end of the game if one team is up by two or more points at the predetermined cap time (e.g. 8:30 p.m.). A hard cap is a predetermined time when the game is over, regardless of score. In our Rec league, ties are allowed. For both soft and hard time caps, captains decide on them before the game, and the current point being played is finished if the time cap is reached during a point (so if it’s 8:30 p.m. but you’re still playing a point, you go until someone scores it).
Games can end in two ways, either by points or a time cap. We’ll go over points this week, and time caps will be next week’s tip. Games are “to 17, win by 2″. This means that the first team to get 17 points wins, as long as the other team has 15 points or less – hence “win by 2″. If the score is 16-16 and one team scores to make it 17-16, at least one more point must be played so that the score is 18-16. If the games goes from 17-16 to 17-17, at least two more points must be played so that one team wins 19-17. (and so on until one team has at least 17 points, AND 2 points more than the other team).
Okay Ulti Parents and Kids!!
The next installment of our Juniors Clinic will be held on Wednesday, June 4th at Barrie Central Collegiate, starting at 7:00 p.m. and running until 8:30 p.m.
We had a very succesful first clinic in the dome in April and we’re hoping for an even bigger turnout in June. We are looking for any kids age 6-13 who want to get out and play some ultimate, learn some new skills and have some FUN!
Remeber, there will be an adult clinic for new players this evening as well, so we’re the perfect form of babysitting if you were planning on attending 
If you have any questions or need more details, please email:
