Dates

EUPA Summer league 2012 will be run once a week Tuesday or Thursday night from May 1 to August 23. The league will end with a one-day tournament for each league on the weekend of August 25-26.

Times

7 pm to 9 pm.

Teams

A maximum of 32 teams can be accepted for both Tuesday night and Thursday night leagues (this is due to the number of field bookings we have).

Format

Player format is 7 on 7, which includes 4 men and 3 women on at a time by default. Any other ratio must be agreed upon by both captains at the start of the game. Eg, offense calls the agreed upon ratios (3M, 4F or 5M, 2F, etc). Please be spirited and considerate in discussion with the other captain. They do not have to agree to any ratio besides 4M, 3F.

Rules

Foot-blocks and trick pulls are in unless otherwise agreed upon by the captains. League will follow 11th edition rules which are available on USA Ultimate website.

Team Registration

Captains must register their teams first and then players are able to register as a part of the team by logging in, clicking on the big orange button and adding themselves to the team. Captains are also in charge of their team's fees so players should pay their fees to their captains.

Roster Lists NEW

This year, we will require captains to submit a roster list at time of their team’s registration (AKA before the captains meeting). The roster list will have first and last names and emails of all players on the team.

If you are unsure of your final roster at time of registration, that is ok, but please at least mark down the # of players that you will be registering. Online registration will remain open until the end of May for any of your players that are slow in registering. At that point, we will cross check the # of players paid for vs the number of players registered online. Fees for unpaid players will be collected at this time. No refunds given for overpayments.

Players not on the online roster are ineligible to play in playoffs. If players are added to your team during the year, they must pay the $80 fee. If players are added but are replacing an injured or otherwise absent paid member of the team, no additional fee will be charged. Please email summer@eupa.ca to coordinate the opening of registration and fee payment.

Individuals (with no team) or small cores

Options for finding a team:

Individuals can try posting on our message board on the website to be picked up by teams.

Captains, if you are willing to take individuals, please let us know by emailing summer@eupa.ca

We will be hosting some Meet 'n Greets to connect individuals and small groups in hopes that you can form a team of your own.
If you have interest in captaining an individuals team, please declare it to summer@eupa.ca
Please DO NOT just add yourself to a team without permission from the captain as they or the summer league coordinator will remove you from the roster.

Captain's Information

Team Registration

Registration opens March 1, 2012! To register, sign in (or create a new account if you don’t already have one), click the big orange button in the right hand column and follow the instructions in the sign up wizard.

Captains must register first and create their team.
Players registering must choose the team they’re playing with. Please have your players register by 11:59pm on SUNDAY APRIL 22!
Please note: If a player name is incorrectly inputted in their profile it will not show up on your roster. No name = no swag for that person! Get your players to fix their contact info on their profile like this: http://www.eupa.ca/community/thread/2301.aspx

Fees NEW STRUCTURE THIS YEAR

Captains will be in charge of their team’s fees.
Fees are a standard $80/player.
The minimum team fee is $1120 (14 players) with league registration closing on SUNDAY, APRIL 22 at 11:59pm.
A deposit of $400 will be required to confirm your spot but we would prefer that you pay your entire team fee by e-mail money transfer.
Your team’s registration will only be confirmed when we receive your deposit. If there is not enough room to take everyone, teams will be accepted in the order that we receive deposits in, not by when you registered your team online. (Note: an odd number of teams will not be accepted. The last even numbered team is the last team registered.)
If the remainder of your team's fees in not received at the captain's meeting, there will be an extra $100 penalty for your team!

To Pay Fees
