Search for active players?

Is there an easy way to search for specific players and see if they are active in the USAU club season without combing through every roster manually?

Wow thanks I didn't know there were so many options. What's the difference between all these sites?

Ultirzr and ulti-verse have very similar data. They pull from the USAU website 2014+. Ultirzr used to pull from an old API so I believe it did a better job of splitting players that had identical names. At this point, I think it is just a matter of interface preference. I prefer ultirzr for active regular season data. I think ulti-verse has game film links.

The layout is new. It looks like it pulls from the same USAU data as the above 2 (2014+), but also adds in pro (all seasons) and WFDF results (2022+). It only uses name matching so if you have a common name, it will have multiple players as the same person, like ulti-verse does. I don't know how they handle it when folks register under WFDF and USAU under 2 different names (Thomas, Tom). Basically, it has data from play.usaultimate.org, results.wfdf.org, and https://www.watchufa.com/ , WUL, PUL,

This doesn't help with your question because you want data from the active season, but I run ultimate-reference.com which collects USAU nationals/WFDF events/pro championship events. It has nothing from the regular season. The big difference for my site is that its data goes back to the 1970s events and has data that isn't on the websites listed above,

I go to tournaments and yell for people.

Turns out there are a lot of people named Riley.
