My only other suggestion is to talk it up and bring friends... my experience with similar pick-up games in other parts of the country tells me that word-of-mouth and relataional connections between people are always the most reliable way of getting people there.
I look forward to getting to know you all as I get to play ultimate with you.
Peace, Luke

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!
