Savage Sevens

Auckland Ultimate is proud to announce our very first Savage 7s tournament.

What is Savage 7s I hear you say?

Outdoor ultimate on a full sized field with a team of 9.
Not true Savage 7s I hear some of you say, but you have some extras for breakages or tired legs late in the day.
We will allow 1 sub per game with a 5/2 or 4/3 split.
Essentially a day for true ultimate lovers to play as much Frisbee as possible in a short amount of time.

-- Details:

July 19th (Sunday)
Takapuna Grammar in Auckland on the North Shore.
Game on at 9:30am - Finished by 5pm
45 minute games with a minimum of 5 games on the day.
Costs a low $20.00 which includes a hot bbq lunch and a coffee / tea or hot chocolate to start the day.

Flights are cheep, games will be intense and this particular weekend has traditionally been fine for the last 3 years so expect it to pour down
To enter or for more details send an email to auleague.register@gmail.com and we will send you all the details back.

See you on the 19th

Regards
The AU Exec

Indoors Update

Hello all...

A quick reminder for all indoor players.

The first practice night is this Thursday (7th). There will be some talented people available at the Gym at Avondale High School from 7pm - 10pm to teach you anything you need to know about playing Frisbee.

This also serves as a reminder that the Social / Corporate League is now over 75% full and the A Grade league is totally full. I can accept 2 more pickup girls into the A Grade league, but in terms of team slots it is totally full up.

Get the social and corporate entries in soon, or risk missing out.

Schools league is confirmed for a start in early June and there is already 4 teams registered for a 12 team league. Be there or be square.

Cheers

2009 Winter League

-- Announcement

In association with Auckland Ultimate, I am happy to announce the rebirth of Winter League. The 2009 AU Winter League is a teams-entry league aimed at intermediate/advanced players and those looking to take a step up from social play. The league this year will run over 5 Sundays, May through August, culminating in a finals day on Sunday 23 August. The big prize - the famous Top Hat Ice Bucket trophy complete with bubbly to commence the celebrations!

Full information is outlined below, including details of how to register your team and the key dates of which you need to be aware. The exact format of the league (how many games per day etc) will depend on the number of team entered, so this information will come later on, however team should know that each Sunday is not a stand-alone event - they are part of one overall league, so your team needs to commit to playing all 5 days.

If you can't find a team, or have close to a team but need a couple of extras, you can email me and I will see if I can pair these two groups up. I can't make any guarantees though - so if can't get on a team - start one yourself. If you have any questions, please free to ask me.

*** 2009 AU Winter League ***

If paying electronically, please be sure to indicate that the payment is for Winter League and use you team name as a reference.

Summer League 09

Hey all,

Things are getting a little serious in this year's summer league. No too serious though. This week is quarterfinals time - the draw is above. Next week are semis, then finals on the 25th.

The 28th of March should be a good day for all things Ultimate in Auckland. During the day there is the Summer League Wind Up tourney at Western Springs. At night is the inaugural AU Ball in Parnell. Get in quick, both are likely to sell out.

Peace, Nate (on behalf of AU)
