TUC Fall Outdoor League 2010 information will be posted in the summer. Until then, below is information from 2009 that you can reference.

2009 Outdoor Leagues

Sunday Coed League

Our traditional Sunday Outdoor Fall League will run on Sunday afternoons, from September 20 to November 8 inclusive. No games are scheduled for the Thanksgiving weekend (Oct. 11th) but teams are free to use this day for make-up games or pickup. Finals will take place November 8 and depending on how the season goes, probably semis on Nov 1. All games are 80 minutes long and take place in the afternoon. We will group teams into 3 groups on our ratings ladder (competitive, intermediate, recreation) to balance the level of play as best we can. You can sign up as an individual (to be placed on a team) or you can sign up a team.

It is the responsibility of all captains to ensure that all games begin and end on time. When you reach the end time, complete the current point and then please end the game. Games CAN end in a tie. Games are to be played to time - 80 minutes, or to 15 points.

Monday Night Men's Speedpoint League

The TUC 2009 Men's Outdoor Fall League will run on Monday nights, from September 14 to October 26 inclusive. Games WILL be scheduled for the Thanksgiving Monday, October 12. All games are 55 minutes speedpoint 7-on-7 (full field) and are played to time cap. ALL games will be played under the lights at BMO Field and Cherry Beach! You can sign up as an individual (to be placed on a team) or you can sign up a team.

This league is a little different from our regular speedpoint leagues which are usually 6-on-6 and with smaller leagues. For this league we're keeping the full fields and full lines (7's) but still allowing teams to sub on the fly in order to maximize playing time. Here are the Outdoor Speedpoint Rules. Main rules that YOU NEED TO KNOW: stall count to 8 NOT 10, scoring player sets disc in the location they scored and disc is either walked to line or instantly live (defense becomes offense), sub on the fly at mid-field, game ends at time cap!

When substituting, players entering the field must high-five the player they are replacing on the sideline at mid-field.

It is the responsibility of all captains to ensure that all games begin and end on time. When you reach the end time, complete the current point and then please end the game. Games CAN end in a tie. Teams must be completely off the field prior to the start of the next game.

Times: From 7:30pm - 10:00 start times (55 min games)

Location: BMO Field & Cherry Beach under lights!

Format: 7-on-7, Men's League, Intermediate-Competitive

Convenor: Rahil Suleman, fallmonday@tuc.org

Sign-Up

You may register a full team or as an individual for Fall Outdoor League. Individuals who wish to sign up will be used to form a Hat Team based on skill level. Fall 2009 Outdoor registration opens on August 17 and will close on various dates depending on each league (Sept 9 - Monday Leagues, 14th - Wed/Thurs/Sunday Leagues). All registered teams/individuals will be posted a few days before league play starts. If you are not on that list, please contact the Member Services Coordinator at 647-345-8105 or admin@tuc.org immediately.

In an effort to ensure competitive games, teams should indicate their level of ability based on summer results, overall experience, and skill level of their players.  If you are not sure, contact the League Convenor to discuss.  Players who sign up as individuals should also indicate which level they'd like to play.

All players must be TUC members. In 2009 we offer both an Intoductory Membership for brand new players playing on only one Fall Outdoor team (cost only $25) and a pro-rated Fall Membership Fee for late member signups or persons playing on more than one fall team (cost only $35), both of which run through to March 31, 2010. Exceptions can be made for the occasional pick-up player or for a newly recruited player. Any such non-TUC player may participate in a maximum of two games in the Fall league, after which they must become a TUC member in order to continue playing. All players must sign the waiver of liability form before stepping on the field, member or not. In order to enforce these stipulations, we rely heavily on the honour system and on our team captains. Please abide by the Spirit of the Game when dealing with this (and any other game) issue.

To sign up visit our "How to Register" page or go straight ahead to the Registration section.

TUC games follow UPA 11th Edition Rules, with a few exceptions. For Sunday Outdoor League, time permitting (time caps are in place), all TUC games are to 15 points. You must win by 2 or first to 17 if necessary. Other leagues are timed and therefore play to time, not a point total. Each team is allowed 2 timeouts per game in TUC Fall League and there is no overtime or universe point timeouts (as opposed to UPA rules which allow a timeout for overtime).

All TUC fall outdoor leagues are 4-3 mixed gender. Teams are encouraged to play both lineups - 4 men & 3 women or 3 men & 4 women - with the pulling team matching the receiving team's ratio. All players must be registered and paid TUC members.

Spirit, Safety & Fields

Spirit of the Game is an integral part of Ultimate. In order to encourage teams to play with Spirit, we are requiring all teams to submit a Spirit score as well as a game score after each game. It is the responsibility of both team captains to submit a spirit score for the other team after every game.

In the interest of safety, the TUC strongly discourages games from taking place during poor weather or on soggy fields. If the weather becomes severe during your game, the game shall be ended at that point and the score becomes final. Metal cleats are not allowed under any circumstances. Foot blocks are not allowed except with the explicit prior agreement of both team captains. Any footblock, attempted or successful, should be treated as a foul.

Since field space is difficult to find, the TUC is always concerned about the possibility of losing currently permitted fields. Permits can be revoked if teams engage in prohibited activities or as the result of complaints from neighbourhood groups. Therefore, we remind everyone of the following policies:

• The consumption of alcohol and recreational drugs is NOT allowed at the fields, whether before, during or after a game. If you wish to engage in such activities, please do so in the privacy of your own home.
• Use Spirit when dealing with other users of the parks. This means being polite to the people who inadvertently stray onto the field during your game. Also, bring the permit with you to your game to head off conflict with other users of the field.
• Use common sense and be considerate of the neighbours. This means that you do not pee in the bushes, against the side of a house or in the middle of the field. Also, do not block driveways with your car.
• If problems arise with fields, such as poor condition or conflict with other groups (e.g. soccer), please bring them to the attention of the league convenor and the fields coordinator. Do not take it upon yourself to solve the problem.

League Contacts

The head convenors for the 2009 Fall Outdoor League are Vikki Shimoda (Sundays), Darren Gray (Monday Co-ed), Rahil Suleman (Monday Men's), Natalie Fitzgerald (Wednesdays), and Matt Denton (Thursdays).

General questions about Sunday Fall league should be addressed to fall@tuc.org, general questions about Monday Leagues should be addressed to fallmonday@tuc.org, general questions about Wednesday Co-ed League should be addressed to fallwednesday@tuc.org, and general questions about Thursday Co-ed League should be addressed to fallthursday@tuc.org. However, in order to reduce the flood of emails to the convenor, if you are a player and have a question about the TUC or the league, please ask your team captain first or contact the appropriate person as listed on the TUC Contacts page. Your team captain is your first point of contact with the TUC when it comes to administrative matters.

Hopefully this provides all the necessary information to get your Ultimate season rolling. See you on the field!
