It's here! So get excited, and get registered. Registration is open NOW and ends May 7th.
When: June, July and August
Where: Fields in the St. John's area
Who: Anyone 19+ … we're a coed league!
Cost: $80 (includes yearly UNL fee) for a jersey and a summer full of fun
How to Register:
1. Go to MileZeroUltimate.com
2. Login or create an account if you are new! (Remember username = email)
3. Fill out your basic information, jersey size and NEW self-ranking (we take it seriously, so should you!)
4. Enter your team/partner details if applicable.
5. Do you want to buy a disc/practice jersey?
6. PAY. We only accept PayPal, no seashells, coins or cheques. If you fill out the registration form but don't pay, you are not registered and we will have no record of you (sad, eh?). However, you can pay later by going to the 'my orders' menu on the right and opening your open order and paying that.
Please note: After May 7th, anyone who wants to register for the league will only be added to teams as space becomes available. We will not reserve space on teams for undecided players after May 7th.
Team Format:
- ** NEW** Teams are composed of a MINIMUM of 14 players with a minimum of 6 guys OR 6 girls. That means you can do 7 and 7, or 8 girls and 6 guys, or 8 guys, 6 girls. YOUR CHOICE.
- **NEW** Field composition is 7 players as always … but now you can play 4 guys and 3 girls OR 4 girls and 3 guys. The other team is NOT REQUIRED TO MATCH your gender ratio.
Summer League Structure:
The MZU Ladder System ensures that teams of equal calibre will gravitate towards each other as the season progresses. It maintains competition, allows for team movement between ladder levels, and fosters a stronger league community.
So, how does it work?
1. Teams are divided into ladder levels of 4 based on player rankings.
2. You will play all the teams in your division once (round-robin).
3. Movement time! The top team in each division will move to the division above, and the bottom team will go down.
4. New divisions are made.
5. Steps 2-4 happen again... In fact, we'll do this at least 4 times this season.
FAQ:
Q: Do I register solo or as teams?
A: BOTH! We have a wide range of people who register solo, in pairs, small groups or as a full team.
Q: I have never played before, is the league friendly?
A: We're super friendly. Maybe even too friendly. We'll get you hooked up with a rule book, resources and your friendly team mates will help you along the way. We also have a Captain's clinic and other initiatives to introduce people to the game.
Q: Man, I have soooo many questions.
A: No problem, email us at milezeroultimate@gmail.com and you'll get a swift response.
Q: Who do I put in the partner/captain/team field?!??
A: If registering as a part of a team, you only need to list the team name (preferred) or the captain's name. If you're a captain, there's no need to submit a list of your whole team. If you're joining as a group, list your group leader or another member(s).
Q: Do I have to buy a disc or practice jersey when I register?
A: NO. Those are optional purchases. Each player who registers by the May 7th deadline will receive a team jersey.
Q: So, what exactly am I getting for my money?
A: Registration is $80, which include, a minimum 12 regular season games plus playoffs, a team jersey from VC Ultimate, and your annual NLUA membership.
1st place game: Sexy Results vs Hot Sauce
3rd place game: The Misfits vs Greased Lightning
5th place game: Blue Gremlins vs Disc Slap
7th place game: Game of Throws vs The Be Sharpes
The race for the final games is on! Last week of Winter League on Monday - who's gonna win!?
Also, all Captains need to enter their scores and spirit! Even if you're not in the top 8... YES, I'm talking about you.
Winter League Party!
Ok, we're doing things a little differently this time. But in a good way, not in a way that makes you all uncomfortable. That wouldn't be cool. This is a 2-part party. And, it's all hpapening on Saturday, March 10!
Part 1: Winter Fun
We're still figuring this all out, possibly sliding, possibly skating. Either way, it'll be an afternoon winter activity!
Part 2: Party
Same deal as always, great specials, great fun, semi-decent company... :) Drop down to Turkey's anytime after 9.
Stay tuned for more details.

Winter League
Winter league is in full swing, and everything seems to be going quite smoothly! Remember, if you have a suggestion, question or issue, please email us at milezeroultimate@gmail.com. Another few small things to remind people of:
- If you aren't playing, but want to get in on the action, remember, you can join our active sub list here. Subbing has changed a bit this year (first game free, every game after is $8, you can sub 8 games total!).
- Remember, games end at a hard cap at 8:55 / 9:55 / 10:55. If the disc is in the air, you can catch it ... but that's it. Games over. Even if it's the dreaded tie. There is a whistle that signals the end, as administered by an MZU boardie.
- We are introducing a new refund policy to compensate those injured in the first few games, so stay tuned for that.
For Winter, we are piloting a NEW subbing policy. Here's the details:
- Subs can now play up to 8 games.
- The first game is free
- Each game after that will cost $8. You play, we invoice you via PayPal, you pay. No pay = no play next time (whether that's registering for future leagues or subbing again).
- An MZU Board Member will touch base with every team to record what subs they are using.
If you'd like to sub, enter your details at the link below:
This list is meant to help teams looking for subs and for subs find games. This won't guarantee you get a game, but it will certainly increase the odds.

How were the teams formed?
Between self-ranking and sharp judgement, we put in a lot of hours to make these teams fair.
It was our hope that this process lead to teams that weren't one-dimensional (ie. all receivers).
