Changes from last year
Roster Ringer Rule
3 men / 3 women ringers per roster for Rec A, B, C, and D.
Fields
Olbrich Park is being rested this year by the Parks Department so we won’t be playing there for the first time in a decade. Instead we have three new parks, Glacier Hill, Olin Park, and North Star Park.
League Structure for 2011
There will be 8 leagues total, with 5 different skill levels:
• Competitive League – Mondays/Wednesdays
• Rec A – Tuesdays/Thursdays
There will be Monday/Wednesday (MW) and Tuesday/Thursday (TR) version of each of the bottom 3 skill levels. In other words:
6 Leagues:
• Rec B (MW)
• Rec B (TR)
• Rec C (MW)
• Rec C (TR)
• Rec D (MW)
• Rec D (TR)
Playoffs – each league will have a league championship and the winner of that bracket will play the winner of the bracket in the corresponding league e.g. the winner of Rec B MW will play the winner of Rec B TR in the finals.
There are limits on how many teams that MUFA can handle on each set of days. The limit is 17 teams per division so that means 17 teams in Rec B MW and 17 teams Rec B TR for example. We might need to tweak thing based on how many teams sign up. The first teams to get their team registered and paid will get their choice of days of the week. A “paid” team consists of 4 paid men and 4 paid women.
The registration deadline is May 15. Registration should be open by Tuesday, April 19 so you will have 3 weeks to register.

About Summer League
What:
Summer League is a co-ed league with a 4/3 gender ratio, offense decides. There are 5 main levels of play:
- Competitive League
- Rec A, Rec B, Rec C, and Rec D
When:
June 1 through August 12.
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 may be only one game on some fields so the game will start at 6:30.

Brittingham
Burr Jones
Manchester
Midtown
Teams will rank their division preferences (west or central/east). Manchester, Midtown Commons, and Sandstone are west. Brittingham, Burr Jones, Glacier Hill, Olin, North Star, and Orlando Bell 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.

Anyone who is under 18 on June 1 must have a youth waiver turned in before they can play. Information for waivers is available on the Youth page. You must be at least 14 on June 1, 2010 to participate in this league.
What you get for your money

Shirts are colored by team.
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 6/1/11 and have played at UPA club open regionals or UPA club womens regionals
2. You are under 35 on 6/1/11 and have played at any UPA nationals.
3. Limits to number of ringers per roster (new in 2011):
3 men / 3 women ringers per roster for Rec A, B, C, and D.
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.
