MZU / Tempest Ultimate Clinic – Free!

In anticipation of the upcoming Summer League, Mile Zero Ultimate (St. John’s co-ed league) has partnered with Tempest Ultimate (NL’s female-matching competitive traveling team) to run two ultimate clinics to help players prepare for the summer.
The clinics are free and will be focused on beginner and intermediate skills. Players of any skill level are welcome; whether you have never thrown a disc or have played for a couple of years, you are bound to learn something new!

The first clinic is Monday May 13th from 9-11pm at the Techniplex.
Participants will rotate through 5 stations, which will include the following topics:
– Backhand Throwing
– Forehand Throwing
– Defending a Thrower (setting the mark)
– Defending a Cutter
– Cutting Techniques
Within each station, beginner and intermediate concepts for each topic will be addressed, depending on the skill level of the group. There will also be a group warm-up, and a discussion on injury prevention.

These clinics are a great opportunity to try out a new sport, or get in some practice before the upcoming MZU Summer League. Sign up solo or bring a friend! Please fill out the form below if you plan on attending. (Attendees must be at least 18 years of age by the end of 2019, as per MZU’s bylaws).

Sign up here: https://forms.gle/3eqFBURNqvn47azV9

Details will be released in the coming weeks about a second clinic at the beginning of June. If you have any questions, please contact hi@milezeroultimate.com.

Winter BIY Bye Weeks

The Winter BIY League is using bye weeks to accommodate more teams. Below is the bye schedule for the entire league. Every team makes the playoffs and will play on Monday May 6th.

2019 Winter Build-It-Yourself League

For the 2019 Winter Build-It-Yourself League, we are planning to use the bye format again (similar to Winter 2018), to give more teams the opportunity to play. We have space for 30 teams in this league, and we are asking that all interested captains fill out the form here. The form closes Friday, February 15th, 2019 at midnight.

If you are a captain looking for players, or a player/group looking for a team, you can use the matchmaking form here.

For league details such as important dates and league dates, check out the league page here.

For this league, we will be using a variation of WFDF Gender Ratio Rule ‘A’:

What it is: WFDF Gender Ratio Rule A promotes gender equity by providing truly equal field time for both genders. The major benefit of Rule A is the fact that both genders get to play an equal number of points where their respective gender has the majority on the field. Mile Zero Ultimate is a co-ed league, and therefore we want to empower our female-matching players by providing them with equal playing opportunities on the field. We realize there may be some growing pains while we switch to this format, but we truly believe that this change will improve the quality of play for all players over time.
How it works: At the start of the game, after the first disc flip, an additional disc flip happens with the winner selecting the gender ratio for the first half of the game. Halftime for all games will be designated at :30 to ensure equal playing time for both halves (captains cannot set another time for halftime). For the second half, the ratio must be the reverse of the first half.
For example: Team A wins the flip and starts on defense with 3 female-matching players and 2 male-matching players. This ratio stands for the entire first half. After halftime at :30, the ratio switches to the reverse; 3 male-matching and 2 female-matching players, and this ratio stands for the entire second half.

Letters to Santa Survey

Christmas Eve is almost here, and kids around the world are busy getting their letters to Santa in the mail. Much like those kids, we know that our members have some ‘wish list’ items of their own, and we want to hear them!

The new Board of Directors for 2018-19 is structured into committees tasked with different responsibilities for the upcoming year. We would like members to submit their feedback to those respective committees. Each committee’s responsibilities are explained below. Please take a few short minutes to fill out the survey here to have your voice heard.

As an added incentive, Santa is giving out a present to one lucky MZU member. Anyone who fills out the form will be entered to win a Lighthouse Disc, MZU Sunglasses, and Free Registration* into the 2019 Winter Toque League!

The deadline to fill out the form is January 2, 2019, and the winner will be contacted prior to the start of the 2019 Winter Toque League (January 7, 2019).

*If the winner does not register for Winter Toque League, the free registration can be transferred to another player of the winner’s choice. The free registration covers the $60 league registration fee only; the winner/player will still be responsible for covering any applicable UNL fees.
**If the player/winner has already registered for the 2018 Winter Toque League, the registration fee of $60 will be reimbursed to them.
