MZU Spring Update

We’re one month into the Winter BIY league. Officially it’s spring, but we know better. Anyway, we’ve been busy planning for summer. The latest MZU Times newsletter is coming to an inbox near you!

This edition includes the details of the 2017 Capital Subaru Summer League, as well as MZU’s Disc Design Contest. We want your help to design our next disc. The winner gets a copy and free registration to the summer league!

Submissions are due by April 20th 2017. Read the rules on the contest page.

This summer we are offering a single tier of play for all teams, with a ladder ranking system. Also, MZU will not host a Monday mixed league.

Leagues Merger, we want to hear from you!

To the St. John’s / Avalon ultimate community,

You may have heard, the three adult ultimate leagues in the St. John’s area are discussing a merger. SWURL, MAUL and MZU shared their joint statement in the fall of 2016 (see below).

We have another merger meeting upcoming. We’re ready to add your considerations to the discussion. Please tell us, do you have questions or concerns about such a merger? Can you think of any road blocks? Are you concerned, for or against this idea? Tell us why.

Please send in your comments using this form. The form permits anonymity.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you,

MZU

Error: Contact form not found.

This is to notify members that Mile Zero Ultimate (MZU), the Men’s Avalon Ultimate League (MAUL), and the St. John’s Women’s Ultimate Recreational League (SWURL) have started discussions towards an eventual merger of these three Ultimate Leagues within the St. John’s metropolitan area. The purpose of the merger would be to better coordinate leagues and services for our members and reduce the duplication of volunteer efforts within our local ultimate community. While there is no specific timeline for this plan, it is expected that the leagues will hold a joint information session during Winter 2017 to update and inform members of any progress as we work together toward this goal.

Members are invited to provide feedback throughout this process by contacting either MZU, MAUL, or SWURL via the following email addresses: hi@milezeroultimate.com, maulpresident@gmail.com, or swurlpresident@gmail.com.

Fall BIY Playoffs

The November 28 Fall BIY schedule is up. It is the first of three weeks of playoffs, beginning Nov 28 and ending Dec 12. Please remember that Playoff Subbing Rules apply to all three weeks of play.

We are still trying to balance early and late games. Although we try to be fair to all teams across 12 weeks of play, there may be a few exceptions with an extra game at one time or another.

Good luck!
