Some other basic rules...
We play on astro turf.
Game will happen if at least 10 people show up.
We will create teams as equal as possible in terms of level and gender.
Game will last at least 45' and maximum 80' with a cap+1. No scoring limit.
Half time after 40’. Finish the point, play one more, then it’s half. 2’ break.
2 TO per team per half.
More than two teams / games could be organised on the same evening depending on how many people show up.
We play following the WFDF rules, with an "open" division format. That means no "mixed" rules such as gender ratio or pulling rules.
Beginners are more than welcome. In fact, it's a great opportunity to meet people and learn the game the fun way. For people who have never played any Ultimate game or who don't know the rules, we will grant 1 presence point, plus an introduction to Ultimate rules and basic strategy by a member from Mooncatchers. Some throwing drills will also be set up for you. You'll be invited to play a few points if you feel confident, or you can just watch and continue throwing and start playing a game when you feel ready, no rush !
Drinks might be available for purchase after the game.
The winner of the Summer League will win a Mooncatchers Sun Hoodie.
Eyes on the prize:
Sounds AWESOME, right? So bring your bottle, a white and dark jersey, and off you go!
