We’ve created a survey to collect feedback for our 2019 Summer and Fall leagues!
You can fill out the survey here.
This should take about 5-10 minutes to complete. Please share with your friends and teammates so that we can get as many people to fill this out as possible. Your feedback is what helps us plan for and improve future leagues.
*Prize Alert!*
Players that fill out this survey before December 31st will be entered to win free registration for our 2020 Winter Toque League!
We recently polled our membership to see if players would prefer a 6v6 or 4v4 league for the 2020 Winter Toque League. The vote was almost right down the middle, so we decided to switch things up and run a few different divisions within the league!
You can view the three different divisions and the details on the league page here.
Registration opens on Tuesday December 3rd at noon.
Each year, at the beginning of December, communities around the world are encouraged to embrace Spirit of the Game by hosting events, clinics and activities where players can discuss and demonstrate good Spirit. This year, on Monday December 2nd, MZU is partnering with Ultimate NL, and we’re taking the time to educate our members about the importance of Spirit of the Game.
Prior to Monday’s games, all players in the Fall Indoor BIY League will receive an email with this iSOTG Day Handout. Players are encouraged to read it as it highlights some different ways to embrace Spirit of the Game, as well as outlining how to properly calculate Spirit scores based on WFDF’s scoring system.
Board members will be visiting different spirit circles during Monday’s games, reminding players to review the handout, and answering any questions about Spirit of the Game.
Also, any players that are nominated as Most Spirited Players on Monday December 2nd and 9th will be entered into a draw to win $100! Half of the prize will be a $50 gift card, and the other half will be a $50 donation to the charity of the winner’s choice.
