And, with different fields you could extend the season.

Dan and Sal.

That is a good point. I would probably put byes in for all Colorado tournaments.

Matt,
 
I think you are on the right track.  The one suggestion that I would make is
that we monitor the UPA tournament listings and during a weekend that there is a
tournament we are likely to attend make that a bye week for Summer League
Ultimate.

SpringsUltimate,

As I have been getting things ready for this year's summer league, I have a bold
new idea. I would hate to implement something like this without first discussing
it with everybody, which is why I am here.

Over the last few years summer league has been on a weekday night at a field
location which is not optimal. I think that these two, in combination with
eachother, are part of the reason that the league has been beginning to suffer.
I started this year by saying that I wanted to find a new set of fields in the
city. The problem with this arises when you realize that almost all city fields
which are large enough to house the league are used for Park and Rec activities
on weekday nights. There is not an open field large enough to house the league,
unless we move the league to the weekend. Which is why I would like to propose a
new alternative.

Denver's CUA (formally U2) has had a very successful league for many, many
years. The fields that they currently use are not perfect, a bit of slope, a bit
uneven... but they are easy to get to and centralized. I believe this simple
fact could be a small aspect of their success. To me, the quality of the fields
does not matter. What really does matter is having people to play.

What are your thoughts on moving the league to Saturdays and moving it to an
in-city field (such as Cottonwood or Bear Creek)? If this were the case, I would
also propose starting up a weeknight pickup to substitute the lack of weekend
pickup.

Please respond with your opinions. I don't want to make a decision like this
without the support of the community.
