Kevin & Patrick’s Wednesday Open / Select League
This Select League is in addition to
the traditional Open Division. The two divisions will run concurrently at Buder
Park on Wednesdays at 6:30pm, but they will maintain completely separate
rosters and schedules. Although the two divisions will run simultaneously,
there will be no interdivision play and no midseason player movement between
divisions.
The Select Division will differ from
the Open Division in several ways. The focus of the division will be to win
every game; we will seek to achieve the highest quality of competitive play
possible at all times. With this in mind, playing time on these league teams
will not be equal, and the captains will make no playing time guarantees to any
of their players. In addition, team rosters will be reshuffled midseason; for
this reason, we will not allow any player baggage. Finally, the league rosters
will be determined by a selection committee, who will take into account a
combination of factors including talent, experience, athleticism, and
potential.
If you are interested in playing in
the Select Division, please check the appropriate box on the Open League signup
page. This will enter you into the applicant pool for the division; it does not
guarantee acceptance. The selection committee will notify applicants of their
status May 11-12. If you are not accepted into the Select Division, then your
name will be moved to the Open Division roster pool for team placement.
Anyone interested in further
information should contact Kevin McCarthy at kevin.v.mccarthy@gmail.com or
Patrick Austermann at patrickaust@yahoo.com.
Common to All Leagues
·
The following is taken from the UPA
11th edition rules, section IB. This is used in part to help us define
what we mean by Spirit of the Game (SOTG).
Spirit of the Game: Ultimate relies upon a spirit of sportsmanship which
places the responsibility for fair play on the player. Highly competitive play
is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among players,
adherence to the agreed upon rules of the game, or the basic joy of play.
Protection of these vital elements serves to eliminate adverse conduct from the
Ultimate field. Such actions as taunting of opposing players, dangerous
aggression, belligerent intimidation, intentional fouling, or other
"win-at-all-costs" behavior are contrary to the spirit of the game
and must be avoided by all players.
For additional information on SOTG
you may also visit the UPA page on SOTG, http://www2.upa.org/spirit , or the Vancouver Ultimate League site, http://www.vul.bc.ca/v3/home/spirit/.
·
SOTG Crimes & Misdemeanors – It
is expected that every player in the league will exhibit the highest level of
Spirit. When a player’s conduct is not according to our understanding of
SOTG, it is each of our responsibility to let them know. The following
are recommendations to help us all ensure that we can continue to enjoy the
game we love.
o We are each primarily responsible for our own
behavior. If we say or do something that we recognize as regrettable or
wrong, we will immediately try to correct the situation. This may involve
apologizing, retracting a foul call, or even removing ourselves from the game.
o Our teammates share primary responsibility for letting us
know when we are showing unacceptable behavior. Although, this responsibility
may fall to our manager, any of our teammates can let us know.
o The team manager of an opposing team has a secondary
responsibility. First, they will tell our team manager if we conduct
ourselves inappropriately. Second they will confidentially contact SLUA
about extreme incidents that may warrant further investigation.
o SLUA will review any complaints. Our conduct may
warrant anything from an informal discussion, a formal counseling, or expulsion
from SLUA leagues.
·
UPA Rules apply. Any
deviations from UPA or SLUA rules are to be agreed upon by Team Managers on a
case-by-case basis.
· An
additional fee is being assessed for non-UPA members to cover our cost of
liability insurance. If you are a UPA member, please check your status
through the links below.
Beginners and crusty, dusty veterans welcome!!
