Hey MZUers,
We are extending the deadline to express interest to play in Winter Team League 2015 to Wednesday, February 4th. This will give solo players more time to find teams, and teams short players time to find players.
But wait!
It gets even better, for any teams short a few players, or any players looking for teams, we have made this handy matchmaker chart so that you can swipe right or..wait no, we created this chart so that you can find a team or a team can find players. It is available here.
Also, it is important to note that if your captain has not expressed interest for your team to play in Winter Team League 2015 by Wednesday, February 4th then your team Will NOT be eligible to play in this league. We have changed the registration process to create a more fair situation than what happened in the last Team League. Once we know the exact demand of teams, we will have more details on how that process will work. However, in the short term, if you want to play, you MUST express interest. That can be done through this form.
At this point, all captains who have expressed interest by 3PM on Saturday, January 31st have been contacted.

This time of year can be incredibly challenging for food banks throughout The Province. MZU has decided to try and help alleviate the food shortages in our local food banks by participating in the CBC Newfoundland and Labrador Turkey Drive! Gobble
For the next two games (December 8 and December 15) we’ll be encouraging members to bring a cash donation, with the goal of donating one turkey per team. Your Captain will collect the donations on behalf of your team.
But wait! It gets even better:
MZU will match up 1 turkey per team ($30), or up to $540 worth of gobbley goodness. Gobble

Have a read of our Annual Report in advance – we’ll also have copies on hand.
Don’t forget the AGM – Thursday the 27th at the Elk’s Club at 7pm!
If you love the sport, want to see improvements or are sick of sitting on the sidelines, it’s time to commit (seriously, it’s not that much work). We need new ideas, and new energy, to continue growing this league and sport!
Come and listen, come and run, or come nominate someone else!
Here are the 4 things you need to know:
1. You can nominate someone in advance this year by emailing hi@milezeroultimate.com – if you think there’s someone who should be involved cause they’re plain old awesome, do it up!
2. In advance of the AGM, we’ll be releasing an Annual Report with financial, league, communications updates.
3. Here are our by-laws which explains how this all works.

4. Here are the Board positions up for grabs:
President – oversees the general direction of the league and manages the board members in their roles.
VP, Communications – Facebook, web updates, emails, promotion … you get the word out. You love internet.
VP, Finance – If you have any basic business knowledge, you can step up in this role… Just fill in some spreadsheets and you’re golden.
VP, Spirit – you like to have fun. AND, you’re all about improving the spirit across our leagues.
VP, League – Scheduling, league organization, team building… this is your gig.

We’re reviewing our Subbing Policies overall, but here are the Fall Rules:
Sunday Night Outside – Sub 4 MAX. That can include 1 playoff game.
Monday Night Inside – Sub 6 MAX. That can include 1 playoff game.
Sign up for the sublist here \ Captains request access hereFEW THINGS:
– Playoff subbing can only be done to bring your team to have one sub of each gender. SO, if you had 3 females and 2 males show up, you could get 1 male and 1 female sub ONLY. If you had 2 females and 2 males, you could get 2 males and 1 female.
