Not sure why, but this doesn't appear to have made it through the first
time!
Note, this info has been on the London Ultimate Forum for a couple of days.

The schedules have been finalised, and uploaded to the [lwl-contacts]
mailing list on Tuesday evening
- if you'd like to see them, get a hold of your Team Contact!

Hopefully the schedules will make it onto the London Ultimate Winter League
website (HYPERLINK
"http://www.londonultimate.com/winterleague"http://www.londonultimate.com/wi
nterleague) on Wednesday.

Here's an email full of info that may be worth printing out and bringing
with you.

Game Rules (these are also printed on the schedules)
timeslot: 60 mins
gametime: 50mins plus 'cap' (below) - there will be hooters, but it's worth
keeping your eye on the time!
cap: just finish the point in progress, or play the next point if you're
between points. If scores are then level , play the sudden death point (no
draws are allowed)
if you get there quicker, games are to 13 points, with a halftime at 7
halftime: there's no time for stoppage - just 'mirror' (i.e. if TeamA
started the game at the downhill end on D, they start the second half at the
uphill end on O)
1 timeout of 2 minutes is allowed per team, any time in the game except
after the end hooter

You need to get to your next pitch quickly when you play back-to-back games.

Note: results need to be reported by text message to 'Twitter' ASAP after
the game, so we can calculate/confirm your second round games.

Resolving Tied Pool Results
if 2 teams have the same number of wins/losses, the winner of the
head-to-head game between those teams wins the tie;
if 3 teams have the same number of win/losses, apply the following
calculations in order, only moving on when the current method fails to
resolve the tie:
1) rank tied teams on goal difference between tied teams;
2) rank tied teams by points scored against other tied teams;
3) rank tied teams by points conceded against other tied teams;
4) rank tied teams on goal difference across the entire pool;
5) rank tied teams by points scored across the entire pool;
6) rank tied teams by points conceded across the entire pool;
DO NOT: eliminate one team using one of these methods, and then use the
head-to-head result to separate the other 2.

OTHER INFO

Transport
The pitches are a 5-10 min walk from Wandsworth Common railway station, or a
15-20 walk from Clapham South tube station
There's a link to the TfL Journey planner at HYPERLINK
"http://www.londonultimate.com/winterleague"http://www.londonultimate.com/wi
nterleague
Please plan your journey appropriately!

Parking
It is possible to park in the side streets (look at the maps linked above)
to the west and east of the Common - though, especially on the West, finding
a space may require perseverance.

Facilities
We don't really have access to any facilities (e.g. changing rooms, showers,
toilets, water taps, food & drink, medical), so be prepared for this.
There are toilets with cold taps 'behind' the tennis courts/bowling green on
the west of the railway track (see the map);
The 'Common Ground Cafe' (close to the Open pitches) may let you use the
toilet, and may fill your water bottle if you ask nicely, if they're open;
There are various other pubs and cafes within walking distance of the
Common, but it won't be a quick trip;
There's a convenience store by the Post Office (PO) on the A214 Trinity Road
that sells some amazing sandwiches
Further afield: there's a large Tesco; a Sainsbury's Local; and a variety of
cafes up by Clapham South tube station; and a cafe and toilets by the
Clapham South tennis courts/bowling green;

Weather
The weather is forecast to be typically British... HYPERLINK

forecast/UKXX1823_c.html
Not that we should need to, but we recommend that you bring:
* A decent pair of boots that will deal with wet grass and mud;
* Plenty of kit (including both light and dark shirts!) to play in,
including a cap and/or beanie;
* Warm and waterproof stuff to wear in your games off;
* A towel and dry clothes to change into at the end of the day;
* A waterproof bag (bin-liners work pretty well!) to keep it all dry in;
* Snacks and drinks to keep you going throughout the day (including a
flask of something hot to drink!)

Safety & Security
We're playing in an open public space in South London. Please look after
yourself, your belongings and your team-mates!



In the event of any emergencies from Friday night onward, phone at least one
member of the LWLC - our numbers are in the Contact Details database on
[lwl-contacts] that your Team Contact has access to.

Hopefully, that takes care of the questions...
