MZU’s updated subbing policy (2017)

Mile Zero Ultimate has an updated substitute player policy. This was introduced at the Captains’ Meeting on May 31st.

As of June 2017, we will allow players registered within the league to play as subs in up to two games for other teams during that league, excluding the playoffs. Players who are not registered in the league can still play up to half the games (rounded up), including one playoff game. Subbing is still free.

As a new requirement, every substitute player must have an online profile on www.milezeroultimate.com/z and join the Substitute Player 2017-18 event. When a player visits from out of town or joins for the first time, we require a profile and that they accept our waiver.

Captains must discuss their subs with the opposing captain prior to the game. They must also record the identities of substitute players when recording the score online. Substitution must be done in accordance to the Spirit of the Game. Subs should allow you to play a game without defaulting; they should not greatly influence the outcome of the game.

The full text of the substitute player policy is posted on our website at https://www.milezeroultimate.com/?services=subbing

To register as a sub, create a profile and join the FREE event “Substitute Player 2017-18”

Additionally, you may sign up on the sub list to advertise your availability to captains.

Leagues Merger, we want to hear from you!

To the St. John’s / Avalon ultimate community,

You may have heard, the three adult ultimate leagues in the St. John’s area are discussing a merger. SWURL, MAUL and MZU shared their joint statement in the fall of 2016 (see below).

We have another merger meeting upcoming. We’re ready to add your considerations to the discussion. Please tell us, do you have questions or concerns about such a merger? Can you think of any road blocks? Are you concerned, for or against this idea? Tell us why.

Please send in your comments using this form. The form permits anonymity.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you,

MZU

Error: Contact form not found.

This is to notify members that Mile Zero Ultimate (MZU), the Men’s Avalon Ultimate League (MAUL), and the St. John’s Women’s Ultimate Recreational League (SWURL) have started discussions towards an eventual merger of these three Ultimate Leagues within the St. John’s metropolitan area. The purpose of the merger would be to better coordinate leagues and services for our members and reduce the duplication of volunteer efforts within our local ultimate community. While there is no specific timeline for this plan, it is expected that the leagues will hold a joint information session during Winter 2017 to update and inform members of any progress as we work together toward this goal.

Members are invited to provide feedback throughout this process by contacting either MZU, MAUL, or SWURL via the following email addresses: hi@milezeroultimate.com, maulpresident@gmail.com, or swurlpresident@gmail.com.
