SpringsUltimate,

A big congratulations to Murph for being inducted into the Ultimate Hall of Fame.

The following snippet was taken from the UPA website:

Brian Murphy served as the second National Director of the UPA, taking over from TK.   At that time, the UPA was still struggling to convince players that it was worth $7.00 to join the UPA.  As National Director, Murph was a genial, articulate, and well known East Coast player (with West Coast experience) who provided both East and West Coast players with confidence that the UPA had something to offer. Murph started the process of "professionalizing" the UPA as UPA Director and throughout his long association with Ultimate, also contributed to the organization as Co-chair Eighth Edition Rules Committee with Irv Kalb (chosen by captains at the annual East Coast Captains meeting), Tournament Director for Open/Women's Nationals ('83-'85, '88), College Sectional Coordinator ( '89-'91 Rocky Mountain), College Nationals TD ('91), and pro bono Legal Advisor to the UPA and the WFDF. As a practicing lawyer, Murph rewrote the UPA's bylaws, reincorporated both the UPA and WFDF, and secured 501(c)(3)(tax exempt) status for both organizations.  Murph proudly maintains that his efforts helped to solidify the Spirit of the Game as a founding principle of our sport; a principle distinguishing Ultimate from all other sports.
