Real life fantasy sports! MZU’s first foray into Parity-style leagues!
A “parity” league or “salary cap” league is an Ultimate league where the players have an assigned value (salary) that changes based on performance. Each team in turn has a salary cap that they must stay under to maintain eligibility in the league. Players will be traded each week to meet this requirement. The league that MZU will pilot is as follows:
- Season: Summer 2016
- League Name: Summer Outdoor Parity
- Team Composition: 10 players minimum, with a typical composition of 6 males and 4 females.
- Field Composition: 5 on 5, with a male to female ratio of 3:2 or 2:3, opponent is not required to match.

- Format: This league has capacity for 6 teams. Zuluru Ranking System. 5 week round robin + 1 week playoff.
- Playoffs: 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, 5 vs 6.
