What’s New
1. New ringer rule (applies to all leagues)
2. Friday Masters league. You can play in the masters league in addition to your regular league.
3. Entry fee is $28. Explanation.
*There is one change from our Summer League announcement a few days ago. After looking at the dates and the possible schedule, the calendar happens to allow for 18 games for the league this summer. Given that, we are going to have the same league structure as last year since we can have larger sized leagues and still have round robins. We won’t add rec1d and rec2c. We will see how many teams sign up this year and put off questions about any league structure changes until next year.
2008 Ringer Rule
You are a ringer if:
1. You are under 30 on 6/1/08 and have played at UPA club open regionals or UPA club womens regionals
2. You are under 35 on 6/1/08 and have played at any UPA nationals.
As alway, there is no limit to the number of Ringers on your team roster, but only two ringers of each gender may be on the field during play.
About Summer League
What:
Summer League is a co-ed league with a 4/3 gender ratio, offense decides. There are 3 main levels of play:
- Competitive League
- Rec 1 (made up of Rec 1A, Rec1B, Rec1C)
- Rec 2 (made up of Rec2A, Rec2B)
When:
June through the middle of August.
Mondays and Wednesdays for the Competitive League and the Rec 2 League
Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Rec1 League.
Early games are at 6:00. Late games are at 7:30.The games start earlier beginning late July, 5:45 for the early game, 7:15 for the late game.
Some nights there will be only one game on some fields, particularly at Manchester, so the game will start at 6:30.
There will be an end of season finals/party on Friday, August 15.
Where:
Manchester Park, Brittingham Park, Burr Jones Park, and Olbrich Park; Possibly Midtown Commons, Sandstone and/or Sycamore parks.
Teams will rank their division preferences (west or central/east). Manchester and Midtown commons are west. Brittingham, Burr Jones, and Olbrich are central/east.
Teams in the central/east area will play most of their games in one of the central/east parks, teams in the west will play some of their games at Manchester and some of their games in the central/east parks. Teams will play a round robin against every other team in their league, not just those in their division.
There will be two games per night on a field for most of the central/east parks and west parks will most likely have just one game a night on each field and start later at 6:30.
Cost:
$28
Everyone must register online. If you can’t pay online then get a teammate to do it for you.

Teams
How teams are made up
Teams are created by the players.
Deadline for creating a team
A team needs 4 men and 4 women signed up to be officially entered in Summer League and get shirts ordered. The deadline for that is May 15. You can still register additional players up to June 30, but they won’t get a shirt and a disc.
Roster Sizes
There are no roster limits. Teams can have as many men and women on their teams as they wish.
Gender Ratio
Summer League is a coed league with a 4/3 gender ratio, offense decides. What that means is that there must be at least 3 players of each gender on the field at all times. The team receiving the disc is the offense and they decide each point whether the gender ratio will be 4 men and 3 women or 4 women and 3 men.
Ringer Rule
You are a ringer if:
1. You are under 30 on 6/1/08 and have played at UPA club open regionals or UPA club womens regionals
2. You are under 35 on 6/1/08 and have played at any UPA nationals.
There is no limit to the number of Ringers on your team roster, but only two ringers of each gender may be on the field during play.
Adding Players/Finding a Team
The registration deadline is May 15. Teams can still add players until June 30, but they may or may not get shirts depending on supply. We think we ordered enough discs to cover extra people, but no guarantees. If you still need a team then make a post on MUFA chat in the forum for finding a Summer League team.
Everyone must register online. If you can’t pay online then get a teammate to pay for you.
How to sign up for a team
Each team will create a team password that everyone who is playing on that team signs up with. It works just like the baggage password in Spring and Fall League.
Team skill level rating
Each team must rank itself on a 1-10 scale corresponding to how they think their team would finish in their particur league (Competitive, Rec1, and Rec2). This will only be used for the Rec1 and Rec2 leagues to re-distribute the teams in case the number per section are too unbalanced.
Leagues
Competitive League
The competitive league has the highest level of play. Play is competitive, but not at the expense of fun. The competitive league plays on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Rec 1 League (made up of Rec1A, Rec1B, and Rec1C)
The rec 1 league has more focus on good fun games, although the games can be very competitive as well at the higher levels. The rec1 league is further broken into three parts. Rec1A, Rec1B, and Rec1C.
Rec 1 leagues play on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Rec 2 League (made up of Rec2A and Rec2B)
The focus of Rec2 is playing fun games, improving skills, and meeting new people. Newer teams often play here as well as other teams looking for relaxed games or aren’t at the level of the rec 1 league. The rec2 league plays on Mondays and Wednesdays.
If you’re a new team and not sure which league to sign up for then email us at falldisc@yahoo.com.
