Cool, thanks Carly.  I'll just show up early and wander around until I find a
group throwing discs.

Hi all, I'm new to this group so I don't know how the schedule works, but I
might be able to make it out today if one of the teams needs a sub or anything
(not sure if you guys are practicing for a tourny).  Will there be a pickup game
tonight? and where would I park, etc?

Hey all,

Two items:

1. Next Thursday is a university-recognized holiday so there probably won't be
lights. That said, because it's a holiday, perhaps you'd like to play earlier in
the day? I, for one, will be in Iowa and so full of turkey I will be unable to
waddle, let alone chase a disk, but people who will be around to play can post
here to see if there will be enough folks to make being cold worthwhile.

2. Lei Out is coming up (January 16th & 17th). Let's field a team! IESB!!!! Talk
to Max or me. Here's the tournament website: http://leiout.com/

Cheers,
-Megan

Hi,

If you are newish to ultimate, here are some pages where you can read up on the
basics:

the offensive "stack":
     http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/Webpages/Intermediate/stack.html

(Note particularly that on offense, the V area downfield of the disc should be
kept clear for cutting, and that each cut should be coordinated with other
cuts.)

defensive "forcing", and guarding cutters:
     http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/Webpages/Intermediate/defensep.html

(Note particularly the recommendation that on defense, when you are guarding
downfield, you try to stay _between_ the person you are covering and the disc.)

A short summary of the rules:
http://upa.org/files/09_About_Ultimate_factsheet.pdf .
Detailed rules:  http://upa.org/ultimate/rules/11th_links .
More skills and strategies:  http://upa.org/ultimate/skills .

Hey everybody,

There is going to be a hats tournament in Santa Barbara on December 5th. It's
basically a tournament where anyone can come and play and they make random teams
based on the skill levels submitted by the players.

The facebook invite I received doesn't have too much information on price to
enter, but I attended last year and paid $10. The $10 buys you a team shirt and
a place on a team. The tournament last for a pretty long time so make sure to
have the day open. Although everyone is really nice, the tournament is very
competitive! So bring your cleats, your frisbee, and your game face!

Where: Storke Field, Santa Barbara, CA 93106
When: Begins at 8am, December 5th

I didn't see a message from Jim, so I'm sending one out instead...

If you want to play Claremont Pickup ultimate today at 3pm, sign up at
http://activepickup.com/ by 2:15.

Jim please post if for some reason there is no game..
