FIELDS
The tournament has outgrown Milliken Mills Park. We will play at a number of locations, but all are within 2-3 miles of Milliken Mills.

Frisbee Central: Milliken Mills Park is between Warden and Kennedy on the south side of 14th Avenue in Markham. There are 5 soccer fields (10 Ultimate fields with some inappropriate lines and soccer goals) and 5 ball diamonds in the park.
Directions: take HWY 401, to HWY 404 north, to Steeles Ave east, to Warden Ave north, to 14th Ave east, to park entrance (on south side just before Mitsubishi building). The park sign is easy to miss, but you should be able to see the sports field light poles a little ways before you reach the park entrance. If you reach Kennedy Ave, you've gone too far. (You can also take Steeles to Kennedy, go north on Kennedy to the McDonalds, and park behind the McDonalds.)

Other fields:

Markham District High School. South side of Church between Markham Road and Wooten Way.
From Frisbee Central: go north on Kennedy to Hwy 7, then east on Hwy7 to Markham Road (= Hwy 48, about 4K), continue east to Wooten Way (about 1K), go north on Wooten Way to Church, and west on Church for 1/2K.
From Highway 401: go north on Markham Rd (=Hwy 48) to Hwy 7, then east on Hwy 7 to Wooten Way (about 1K), north on Wooten Way to Church, and west on Church for 1/2K.

There are six Ultimate fields here - two in the track, two south of the track, and two behind the school to the south and west.

Captains Information

There will be no captain's meeting. All the info you need should be here.
All games will follow UPA 10th Edition Rules with the exceptions listed below. There are 6 time slots on Saturday - please stay on schedule! Sunday's games will be staggered a bit to allow for games in each division to finish in time to watch their respective finals.
- Saturday games will be to 13(17), half at 7(9), win by 2, hard cap at 15(19), with one time out per team per half. Start times will be between 09:00 and 16:15.
- Saturday soft caps will be at 75(90) minutes after the scheduled start time, these times are set in stone; if you start late you still finish on time.
- Sunday games will be to 15, half at 8, win by 2, hard cap at 17, with one time out per team per half. Start times will be between 10:00 and 16:00.
- Sunday soft caps will be at 90 minutes after the scheduled start time, these times are set in stone; if you start late you still finish on time.
- (Except for Open, Womens, Mixed championship games) At the soft cap, finish the current point (note that the current point begins when the previous point is scored). After that point, if one team has won by the regular rules, then game is over; otherwise game goes into "overtime". For overtime, add one (1) point to the highest score and play until one team reaches this score. There are no timouts allowed in overtime.
- For the Open, Womens & Mixed championship games: at the soft cap, finish the current point (note that the current point begins when the previous point is scored). After that point, if one team has won by the regular rules, then game over. Otherwise, the game goes into "overtime". The hard cap for overtime will either be 17 OR 2 more than the highest current score, whichever is smaller. Game continues until one team reaches 15 or higher with a margin of at least two or one team reaches the hard cap. There are no timouts allowed in overtime.
- Please note that the 10th Ed rules include a number of new time restrictions:
  - Between Points: After a point is scored, the receiving team should be ready within 75 seconds and the pulling team should pull within 90 seconds.
  - Timeouts: Timeout calling team should be setup within 105 seconds of the time out call, other team should check the disc within 15 seconds after the offense is set.
  - Half Time: Receiving team should be ready 4 minutes 45 seconds after the start of half time. Pulling team should pull within 5 minutes of the start of half time.
  - Turned Disc: If the offense doesn't immediately pickup a turned over disc on the field, a defensive marker can stall the disc, by counting down from 10 to 0 (announcing 10 and 5 loudly enough for the offense to hear). If the offense still hasn't picked up the disc, that marker can call "Delay of Game" and start a regular stall count. In the case where the turned over disc is out-of-bounds, the same rules apply, but the count down begins at 20. (If the disc is so far out of bounds that it can't reasonably be retrieved in 20 seconds, a new disc should be put into play.)
- Foot Blocks. Attempted foot blocks by a marker within five feet of a thrower are illegal (treated like a foul against the marker) unless captains agree otherwise before the game.
- 10th Edition Pull Rules (eg live endzones) will be in effect. Since fields are a little short, the brick mark will be fifteen (15) yards from the goal line.
- Mixed Division. Receiving team will choose the male-female ratio for each point (4/3-3/4). Pulling team should match or play one player short if they can't match. (Juniors teams are encouraged to allow exceptions if rosters don't permit this matching.)
Score Sheets. Each team will have one score sheet for each day. Please make sure the game score AND Spirit score are recorded for every game you play and that your sheets are turned in to a tournament official as early as possible on Saturday and before you leave on Sunday.
Teams that do not turn in ALL their scores in 2002, might be refused entry to TUT 2003.
NOTE: Spirit of the Game is to me the most important part of Ultimate. Spirit Scores for TUT run between 0 and 5 (decimals allowed) with 5 being reserved for the best Spirited teams. The best way to determine a score for your opponent is for the team to stand in a circle, and each player to use the the fingers of one hand to give their opinion. An approximate average should be reported. Spirit rankings are highly subjective. To make them a bit standardized, I would ask that everyone start with a score of "3" for a team with "average" spirit. The TUC has some guidelines that might help you if you haven't assigned Spirit Scores before - Click here.
Dinner at Milliken Mills from 17:00-20:00.
Party will be at North Beach again this year (see below). I have already dropped off the "Cups" equipment, so you will be able to start playing whenever.
Markham-Stouffville Hospital.
- From Milliken Mills, Father McGivney HS, Coppard, or Middlefield HS: go east on 14th Avenue to 9th Concession Rd (east of Hwy 48), go north on 9th Concession to Church St (north of Hwy 7).
- From Markham District HS, Mintleaf Park, Fincham Park: go back to Church Street, go east on Church (~3 blocks).
