Summer League 2008

The ACT Ultimate Association's Summer League will commence on Tuesday 22 January for social league (Division's 2 & 3) at the Dickson playing fields. The season will run for 9 weeks finishing on 18 March 2008. The cost per league is $25.00 (if you pay before week 3) and $30 after this date.

League Organiser
Currently we do not have a volunteer or group of volunteers to run the summer league. If anyone interested in running the league they should contact me. If we have an organiser we have a league. If we don't have an organiser, we don't have a league. There will be an honorarium paid to the organiser (don't get too excited- you will still have to keep your day job).

Cleats / Boots restriction remains
As per what happened during spring league, the ban on cleats / boots will continue. This is a condition of hire placed on us by ACT Sportsgrounds. Some rubber soled shoes that are similar to cleats / boots are permitted. Therefore people need to consider the issue of footwear before electing to play summer league as any conditions imposed on us will be strictly enforced (or we lose our hire rights).

Divisions 2 and 3 (Social League)
Division 2 and Division 3 games will start at approximately 6.35pm and go for one hour. In total we are limited to a maximum of 20 teams. We operate of a first registered, first accepted basis. That means if you leave it too late, you may miss out. We will close Divisions 2 and 3 (Social League) registrations when we reach our limit.

Players can register with a specific team or as individuals. Under no circumstances should a person register with a specific team unless they have the consent of the team captain. To register for Division 2 or Division 3 go to:

Division 2

Division3
http://www.afda.com/vfda/showdivision.php?divisionid=705

To register a SOCIAL team you need to contact me and provide a team captain and a team name. You will be asked to indicate a preference for which Division your team would like to play in. Then teams can be registered in their requested Division, on the understanding that it may change depending on registrations. The acceptance of any team is at the discretion of the League Organiser. Ideally there should be 12 players per team (7 male / 5 female). However the final team size and player mix will be determined by the League Organiser based on the number of people who register. If a group of people want to form a team but do not have 12 players there is no problem providing there are at least 7 players (4 male / 3 female). The League Organiser will allocate the remaining players.

The registration of a team does not mean that a team will be guaranteed a place in the league. Each player must still register individually. When we start to reach our optimum size the registration database will be closed. The people who have registered indicating that they do not have a team will then be allocated to those teams that do not have 12 players.

Please note that any person who registers a team is doing so on the understanding that they will have at least 7 players (4 male / 3 female) registered by Tuesday 15 January. If there are not 7 players registered by this date, the proposed team will be dissolved and any players registered in that team will transferred to the unallocated players list and allocated across other teams. Therefore team captains need to be organised.

Division 1 (Competitive League)
Division 1 will proceed as is has previously, at Dickson, following on from Divisions 2 and 3. The start time will be about 8 pm and teams will be formed in the usual way, 4 core players may nominate themselves and a draft determine selection of the rest of the team. To register go to:
