London Ultimate Summer League - 2008 Info

What is the London Ultimate Summer League?

The London Ultimate Summer League is a competition for Ultimate teams in the London area. Games are held on weeknights throughout the summer at both north and south-London venues. Games are played "co-ed", meaning that teams are comprised of both men and women.

How to enter

London Summer League accepts entries from teams rather than from individual players - it's not run as a "hat" event. However, we accept teams of all standards, including newcomers to the sport.

Make sure you're on the mailing list to keep up to date with entry details.

Individual players looking to join a team should post a message on the forum offering their services. Also consider sending a message to the mailing list (see below). You can usually find a team to play for.

If you're coming to London later in the season, you're very welcome to join a team mid-league. However be warned that many teams may already be full and therefore not taking on extra players. Ask and see who bites.

These are not pickup games

If you're a player looking to play in the league, you're welcome to approach a team and try to get a game. However, once you have played a league game with a team, you are tied to that team for the rest of the league.

A team that allows another team's player to pick up with them without the opposition's consent risks forfeiting the game. This is primarily to discourage experienced players from picking up with different teams each week, and hence distorting results.

Mailing List

Urgent updates (e.g. cancellation of a game) are posted to the London League mailing list. It's also a place where you can talk about games, post results, etc. I therefore recommend that all players (and definitely all the team contacts) join the list. There are two ways to subscribe. Either:

a) Visit www.yahoogroups.com/group/londonleague with your web browser and follow the instructions

or

b) Send an empty e-mail message to londonleague-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Please note that all signups to the mailing list now have to be approved by the mailing list owners (Paul Hurt or Wayne Retter). We've sadly been forced to do this to combat the growing spam situation. If you want to speed your application up, email one of us to let us know you need approving. See contact information below.

Note that you can read the mailing list and catch up with past messages on the web, even if you're not currently a member. Go to www.yahoogroups.com/group/londonleague
