St. John's 18+ Mixed Ultimate Frisbee League
We’re so happy to announce that we are naming one of our favourite awards after a very special MZUer we lost this year, Eric Balkam.
The winners of this year’s Eric Balkam Most Spirited Team Award are: Scoober Doober Doo and Ghetto Geppetto! Congrats on an amazing season and for coming on the field with integrity and spirit every game.
Similar to last year, we will be having a Fall Indoor Build It Yourself League. We will be doing a registration similar to Winter BIY, as we thought that was the most fair and equitable.
The process is as follows:
-Captain’s can start identifying themselves and submitting a partial roster (minimum of 6 players)
-September 15th will be the deadline for Captains to self identify and submit their team’s partial roster to the league (via email, hi@MileZeroUltimate.com and VPLeague@MileZeroUltimate.com)
-If necessary, a Lottery system will select the 24 teams on September 16th. All teams will be drafted, with the first 24 being given a spot in the league, and any extras being added to the wait list.
-Captains have until September 28th to complete payment and have a full roster on Zuluru. New players will have to pay the $20 UNL fee before they are eligible to be added to a team. Failure to complete payment or roster by deadline will result in the next team on the wait list being offered the new spot. This team will have 48 hours to complete payment and have a full roster on Zuluru.

We are incredibly happy about the response to our call for volunteers for the Equality Committee. It shows there is an interest to make MZU better. We are thrilled with the care and attention they gave a variety of issues and concerns facing equality in MZU. The discussions and outcomes will help fuel a more inclusive MZU. MZU is at the point now where we need greater feedback from our membership about equality and MZU. The committee has created a survey to measure your perception of gender equality and the concept of equal participation with Mile Zero Ultimate Leagues.
We are asking all members to take a few minutes to complete this survey. The responses we receive will help future initiatives of the Equality Committee and improve MZU as a whole.
