I know we have quite a few dedicated Ultimate players in this group,
but we lack enough momentum for the weekend pickup games. The last 2
weeks we had 5 firm yes votes which was disappointing as 6 is enough to
play (hotbox, or Ultimate if the maybes show up).

I'd like to ask the group what might be done to get just a few more
definite votes each weekend? Please offer any comments/feedback.

Ideas:

1. Everybody who is a Yes try to bring a friend and add their vote on
the poll. The inexperienced people can be guard against each other so
beginners is really not a problem.

2. Go through your address book of Ultimate connections, past teams,
leagues etc. and send them an email to sign up at MUPU.

3. Advertise just a little. I posted a blurb and a link on Craigslist
Groups and actually noticed a number of new members did sign up shortly!

4. Are Sundays better than Saturdays for more people?



I firmly believe that this group will grow and build momentum - but I
would like to expedite. It's spring, let's play!

Definetly keep it on Saturdays, but how about in the afternoon instead of the morning. As a 20-something male, I don't feel particularly earnest to wake up...

I second that. Later starts would make me show up 50% more. Maybe a location change too. Lakefront is way breezy and it doesn't have that "park" feel....

I agree with the 12:00 start time. I get up at 5:30 am for work each day and live for sleeping in late on the weekends. Kt Lepak ... ...
