ACTUA is organising a very short Sunday winter league for 4 weeks from this Sunday 21 August through to 11 September.
The league will be held at Downer fields (Melba St) from 2.30pm to 4.30pm. There will be only one division, basically like Div 2 in our normal leagues (ie you can play zone). You'll get 2 shorter games each afternoon.
Registration cost is $170 per team and $17 for an individual. To pay electronically you can transfer funds to:
Account Name: ACT Ultimate
BSB Number: 801009
Account Number: 309871
Reference: Your name (so we know who it is from)
For those of you who can't make the Sunday league, never fear, Spring league is just around the corner - starting in early October, Tuesday nights at Dickson.
Cheers
Liz (ACTUA President)

Summer League News
From Brett Massey, our delightful league organiser
Social League
Just a reminder that the ACT Ultimate Association’s Summer League will commence on Tuesday 20 January for social league (Division’s 2 & 3) at the Dickson playing fields (6:35pm start). The season will run for 8 weeks and will cost $25.
We now have 20 teams signed up. However, there are still spots available for individual players to register. Players should sign up for a team (with the captain’s permission) or under the ‘players without a team category’. Sign up at:
Div 2 - http://www.afda.com/rego/showdivision.php?divisionid=978
Div 3 - http://www.afda.com/rego/showdivision.php?divisionid=979
League fees can be paid electronically to:
ACT Ultimate
BSB: 801-009
Account #: 309871
Please put your name as the identifying reference (so that we know who the payment is from). Please also mail Anthony Perry (anthony.perry@centrelink.gov.au) when you have made payment.
Those social players who would like a more competitive game are encouraged to consider playing the new Kaboom Premier League.
Kaboom Premier League (KPL)
The KPL is Canberra’s premier competitive league, aiming to provide players with regular quality games. The league will start on Tuesday 3 February at Dickson playing fields and will run for 6 weeks. Games start at 8pm sharp following the social leagues.
Registration
To play on a KPL team you should speak to a captain. The captains for this season are:
Mal Green- pissedmal [at] yahoo [dot] com
Heather Tolley- heathert [at] ecoaus [dot] com [dot] au
Tom Watson- thomasgabriel [dot] watson [at] gmail [dot] com
Jonno Holmes- mrfrisbee [at] hotmail [dot] com
People interested in playing should contact a captain or register for the draft (note that registering for the draft does not guarantee you a spot – you still need a captain’s approval to play on their team). Players can register at:
http://www.afda.com/rego/showdivision.php?divisionid=977
Cost
KPL will cost $25. However, for players who play both KPL and a Social League (either div 2 or 3) there is a discount: $40 will get you entry into both leagues.
Payment can be made electronically (see details above for social league).
Prizes
To encourage competitive play, prize money will go to the winning team. The prize pool is initially $200 (and potentially higher if teams forfeit – see below).
Forfeits
ACTUA wants the KPL to be a high standard league with quality 7-a-side games. All 4 teams will need to have a minimum of 5 women and 8 men registered, to ensure that there are always sufficient players to give the opposition a proper game.
Each team must be able to field a minimum of 7 players (including at least 2 women) to avoid a forfeit. Teams can poach random players (eg from social) to avoid a forfeit, but cannot poach players registered to other KPL teams.
Captains will be asked to put down a small deposit (and may expect a contribution from their players towards this). The deposit will be refunded if the team has no forfeits. If the team has a forfeit, the deposit will be added to the prize pool.
Rules
KPL will be played according to the most current World Flying Disc Federation rules, with the following alterations:
-80 minute games
-Points cap at 15
-5 minute half at 8
-2 time outs per half, 3 in total
-At time cap, finish the point (draws are OK)
-4/3 or 5/2 (2 or 3 women) offense decides
-Round robin format for 6 weeks, winner is top of table at that time (ie no semis and final)
Note that the WFDF rules regarding teams that can’t start the game on time will apply.
Any questions please let me know (voltairesbastard [at] hotmail [dot] com)

Canberra Ultimate 101 and FAQ
This post details the basics of Ultimate in Canberra
This post is a set of information (as at June 2008) to help you find your way to the nearest frisbee game. Thanks go to JDR of the Brisbane Ultimate blog for the unrestrained scavenging of their material, http://brisbaneultimatedisc.blogspot.com/
What is Ultimate Frisbee?
Ultimate is a seven-a-side sport that uses a frisbee (or 'disc'). Its a fast, free-flowing game played world-wide, combining elements of netball, soccer, grid-iron and touch footy. The basic aim is for the team with the disc to pass it up the field to others on their team and catch it in the end zone. At the same time the defensive team is trying to intercept it or knock it to the ground. If they succeed, they get possession of the disc and attempt to score in their end zone. Distinct to Ultimate is its non-refereed rules set-up - known as Spirit of the Game - where players are responsible.
Why Play Ultimate?
Its a hard running and energetic team sport without the getting knocked around or dealing with grumpy referees, coaches or opponents of other sports. In Canberra it is an incredibly social and friendly sport, played by a range of people of differing ages and experience. It can be played single sex or mixed gender without any changes in the rules to accommodate the different body types of the players. It's cheap - all you need is some friends, some grass (or beach) and a disc.
How do I Find Out More?
General announcements, particularly regarding new seasons, upcoming events and pickup games are generally made via the Canberra Ultimate Blog and the mailing lists from past seasons of league. Keep an eye on here for the latest. You can also post a comment to this here blog to get help!
What's This Blog Then?
Mostly it exists to support the Canberra Ultimate community, and hence has a range of news, views and just plain silly stuff, depending on the whims of the posters. Yes, there's a few in jokes, and on occasion it ventures well beyond the limits of Canberra and/or Ultimate Frisbee. Don't take it too seriously.
Tell Me About Leagues
There's a few options for playing Ultimate throughout the year in Canberra. All of the leagues in Canberra are mixed gender, meaning that each team has to have a set minimum number of each gender on the field at anyone time.
The best time to start is in Spring. From mid October to late March we have two series of leagues that cover three divisions of play. Traditionally we run our leagues at Dickson Ovals, on Antill Street, on Tuesday nights. This year we are reformatting our league timing to ensure we have space for the leagues to grow, as field space has become our limiting factor in increasing the league size. You can enter these leagues as an individual player, a group of friends or a whole team. So if you are really keen to try frisbee out, get together a group of your mates and we can provide an experienced player to play with and guide your team through the league.
Just after April we start our Autumn leagues, which run on Wednesday nights and are again at Dickson Fields. These leagues run until early July.
Then we have the Winter league season. Traditionally this has only had an Indoor league but this year we are adding a different style of Outdoor league as well. Instead of playing outside in the cold every week for one night, we are going to put aside one Sunday a month to play three games during a day, where it will be notionally warmer. The indoor league this season will be played at the AIS and the Outdoor league will be over at the Downer playing fields.
Canberra Representative Clubs
The majority of elite ultimate in Australia is played by touring clubs, which periodically travel away for a weekend to play other touring clubs in tournaments. This is ultimate at its flashiest and the tournaments have evolved into very serious and exciting affairs. Australian Ultimate effectively has two different major seasons, the single sex season, from January to April and the Mixed sex season, from August to October. Both of these seasons end with their respective nationals tournaments, in late April and mid October.
In the single sex season, Canberra has Fyshwick United, the men's representative club and Factory Girls, the women's representative club. Both of these clubs improved on their past performances at Nationals this year, coming 2nd in the men's and 5th in the women's. This Wide World of Sports segment has footage of both teams, with the Factory Girls in the Royal Blue and the FU boys in the 'mango'.

Groups of Canberra players also routinely form for Mixed Nationals in October, and various other tournaments around Australia during the mixed season. Mixed Nationals 2008 will be held in Brisbane. The ACT will be represented by local mixed club Kaboom, which intends to build towards attending World Clubs in 2010.
Tournaments
A lot of Ultimate is built around weekend tournaments. These are usually accompanied by a big party, and are a great way to develop your on and off field game!
March sees the Eastern Regionals - the qualifier for Nationals in Open and Women's division.
April is dominated by Nationals, which rotates around the nation. Nationals 2009 is planned for Perth.
From June to September there are a selection of university and non-university mixed tournaments in the lead up to Australian University Games and Mixed Nationals. This includes one Canberra tournament, Shenanigans.
During the mid-semester holidays in September, the Australian University Games are held at a site rotated around Australia. In recent times, Ultimate has become the largest sport at the Games. In the past ANU have sent teams that typically place between 4th and 8th.
October is dominated by Mixed Nationals. Brisbane will be hosting Mixed Nationals in 2008.
The end of October marks something of the start of the social season, with the Melbourne Hat, Longest Day Beach tournament and Diskapital hat tournaments. Hat tournaments are tournaments where the teams are formed randomly from individual players but balanced for ability and gender, meaning you will be playing with people that have just started the sport to those that have represented Australia at World Championships. These social tournaments peter out as the single sex seasons starts and finishes with the Terrigal Towel, a beach hat tournament in March.

Updates from the wider frisbee world
Its finals night on Wednesday night in Canberra. If you are a Div 1 player, come early and check out the goods in Div 2 and if you play only Divs 2 & 3 then stay on a bit later to see the top tier of local competition, the Div 1 final, from 8:30pm.
The ACT Ultimate Association had a quick meeting last night and I will leave it to Bags to put up the minutes of the meetings to inform you all of the exact goings on. We managed to get the masses out of the house of twits by 9pm to watch one of the better episodes of Drawn Together, which on the best of nights is quite rank. Too bad about missing South Park....
'Worlds' training has been organised by Jonno Holmes and booked by John 'Bags' Horan for Tuesday nights, so anyone that wants a decent quality hit-out should get in touch with Jonno 'Darling' Holmes and confirm with him the timings and location.
A few months ago the AFDA (Australian Flying Disc Association) board began a consultation process to see if changing the timings of nationals and mixed nationals could be swapped to improve recruitment and expansion of ultimate in Australia. ACTUA, not meeting for the past 6 months, never got around to submitting an official stance on this. We discussed the matter last night at the meeting and Bags made a strong case to have mixed nats and single sex nats swapped and the rest of the commitee agreed that it would improve the lower and middle-tier of ultimate and in the long-term the elite level at the sacrifice at making it a little more uncomfortable to train for nationals for the men's and women's teams. We decided that ACTUA would prefer the switch and intended to indicate as such, despite it being many months past the date for submissions to AFDA. Of course, the day after we finally decided what we wanted, the results of the consultation process came out, thus making our chat last night moot. The AFDA board has gone with the safer, more conservative option of sticking to the current schedule. There are many pros and cons to the change and the decision is quite a tricky one but there is at least one point I will contest: To all those softies that do not want to train for nationals in the winter, I say phooey to you, move to Canberra and harden up.
The National Ultimate Frisbee League (NUFL as it is known) is on again this weekend. There are several Canberra players going along and playing with the 'Country' team, which has players from Canberra, Wollongong and Newcastle. This team has many of the players from the past triad team, Deathstar and this team seems to suffer from similar mysterious difficulties on the field. Hopefully the team can gel better for this weekend. There will also be a game between the Australian's mens team and 'rest of the Australia' pick up team, which should be a spirited battle. Hopefully I will have reports on the whole weekend ready by wednesday of next week.
Thats all for now

Ultimate in Canberra
Well, in a terrifying twist of fate, it turns out that there are people (thankfully only a few) actually reading this blog. And asking pertinent questions. Gareth has kindly noted that we've given absolutely no indication of where ultimate is being played in Canberra. So, here's the remedy.
Unfortunately, it's cold and nationals was not that long ago, so frisbee here is in a bit of a lull. Thankfully that will be changing over the next few weeks. Currently, Autumn League is reaching its dramatic finale at Dickson Playing Fields (on Antill street, in Dickson) on Wednesday nights. Divisions 2 and 3 run from 6:30 until 7:50, and Division 1 runs from 8:00 until 9:20. Unfortunately, this league ends this coming Wednesday, so there's not much frisbee to be had there.
Winter league will start shortly after that, but we're having trouble finding courts (we play indoors because it's cold and we're a bunch of wimps) so the location isn't yet known. Once we find a booking (hopefully at the Australian Institute of Sport, their courts are sweet) we'll get more details out. Winter League usually runs on an inconvenient night of the week because that's when we can get courts.
With any luck there'll also be a league running outdoors in a mini-tournament format, but again, more word on that later.
There's not much training going on. The ANU team is training (for the university folk among us) at Willows Oval at the Australian National University on Friday nights from 5:30 until 7:30. If you're interested you'd best contact James "Prince" Kingsmill at aynsof@hotmail.com to find out what the details are, as he runs the ANU frisbee kids.
Rumour has it that people are looking to get regular worlds training going on in the next few weeks but you'd want to be a pretty sharp player to be attending those. Plus, the mixed ultimate players of the ACT must be thinking about training sometime soon. More details on that stuff should be coming out soon as well.
So, after all that, there's bugger all frisbee being ACTUALLY played, but there's quite a lot in the pipeline. Once leagues do get finalised the details will be posted here and also on the ACTUA homepage (www.actua.org.au) and registration will be available through the AFDA website (www.afda.com). More should be known after the ACTUA committee meeting being held on Monday (details on that soon, but I really should go do my rehab or I'll be a gimp forever).

More should be known after the ACTUA committee meeting being held on Monday (details on that soon, but I really should go do my rehab or I'll be a gimp forever).
