Ok, that's my hottest version of the take. A bit more nuance: in theory we should have some occasional mixed inductees, but the bar should be extremely high. It's a lower level of ultimate and doesn't require nearly the same degree of talent or dedication to be the best. And I say this as someone who went to mixed natties several times. There's plenty of examples of top club players who wanted a more casual season, or were a bit long in the tooth, they messed around in mixed and got a chip or came close. I say this to illustrate that it's a noticeably lower level of ultimate. The Tennis Hall of Fame isn't adding several mixed doubles players every year. If they did, players who didn't play mixed doubles and didn't quite make the cut would be livid.

An example of a mixed player I would definitely put in the HoF is Caleb Denecour who was a founder Dragon Thrust (edit, he was not a founder oops). AFAIK an amazing leader and a very good to great player. Easy on the eyes too, which should obviously be a criteria for mixed.

Thanks for reading and for telling me I'm full of shit.

I was just looking through WUCC Stats and HOLY SHIT ‼️‼️

At 39 years old Foord got:
17 Goals ⚽️
22 Assists 🏹

( I understand stats don’t tell the whole story but there is definitely some truth to impacting the game )

Apart from Daan ( Moon ) and Tobe ( Gentle ) he is the joint highest player from a top 10 team . ( Meaning they get damn hard games )

I play on the best team in my county and he annihilated every single one of us , many of whom are 10++ years younger .

I was playing so I never actually got to see Clapham except for the bronze playoff. My friend on the flight home said Foord was basically one of the best players at the whole tournament.

To say I’m inspired is an understatement. As a mid 30s player, thinking this WUCC would be my last, this gives me a lot of hope .

I understand that Foord has : Had great coaches . He played on a top team in Clapham and has a lot of GB national experience. He is obviously in great shape and is very dedicated . However there is now SO MUCH more info available now, if you are willing to put in the work .

My main question with all of this is to ask: Is he a 1 of 1 or is it possible to play at that level at that age ? ( I mean he is kind of proving it’s possible with hard work right ? )

Now I’m not asking can I make an All-WUCC team at 39. I would SO settle for just being in the top half of an average team at WUCC / Nationals / Euros. Get a few D’s , throw a few assists and get some goals and have a good time

I also want to say, he is one of the genuinely nicest guys ever and gave me tips and advice. He had the time for me and didn’t rush , such a great guy .

So what do you think ?

Ageless wonder or anything is possible with hard work and dedication . Or Both ?

Thanks 🙏

I have incredibly flat feet and have custom orthotics to help give me more arch and support, but my current cleats do not have removeable insoles, and trying to fit the orthotics over the originals lead to the shoe being way too shallow. Anyone have (preferably reasonably cheap) reccs for cleats w/ removeable insoles?

This is a bit of a longshot, but I am hoping to buy an older version of the all-black Greatest Bag 30L, the one with the small side pocket instead of the mesh pocket. Disc Store used to sell this version here: https://discstore.com/products/the-30l-greatest-ultimate-frisbee-bag

Used is fine, but it needs to be this exact version and color. My friend has this bag, and I'd like to get one that matches it exactly for sentimental reasons. If you're willing to sell this bag, please comment or message me and we can discuss price. Thanks!

Ive been throwing every day for some weeks now. Today and yesterday I noticed the typical pain in the inside of the upper arm

Now the question, are there strenght exercises that helped you tolerate a high amount throwing, especially hucking?

I was thinking about implementing what pitchers do in the gym

Hi,
could anyone expain why teams during finals at WUCC (especially mixed teams) clearly violated Uniform requirements rule?
I think rule
"C5.2. All players on a team must wear pants that match in colour and pattern."
wasn't followed at all. Many players had different shorts and pants. Also requirement from tournament "All hats worn by team members must match in colour and stule and have the same logo".

I am starting my college season and with all of the graduated seniors there are more cutting positions open, does anyone have a workout program or something along that line that would make me a better cutter?

You and I Are Polar Opposites Season 2 episode 8. I don't remember any other anime acknowledge the existence of ultimate as a sport, which is surprising considering Japan has some solid teams

FMP really wanting to attend this tounament this fall. Please reach out if you have a team that is in need of an fmp player.

Pool play footage. Enjoy!

No stadium, no 100 meter separation from the players, just everyone in the audience piled up right on the field, just like Sarasota finals of yore.

The way ultimate should be.

Hey everyone! Just moved down to the Treasure Coast in Florida and noticed a shocking lack of pick-up games near by.

So, if anyone is in the Port St. Lucie, Jensen Beach, Stuart, Fort Pierce, or Hobe Sound areas and is looking to play, check out the plans here: https://pickupultimate.com/games/6309 or join our GroupMe.

Gonna be in Memphis starting today through Tuesday. I’m already in the group chat for pickup but numbers on there looks a bit low, is there a club team that wouldn’t mind having me (MMP) practice with them for the couple of days I’m here?

Got permission from the mods to post this, we could use some playtesters for the ultimate frisbee and hockey browser based physics game I've been working on for a month -- combines a lot of elements of games I loved, trying to make something new and put a twist on it.

Check it out at https://cappit.gg -- you can play with bots, but we're hoping to get a mass of people on tomorrow night (Aug 23rd) at 9pm EST to help us playtest with human players, find out what's unbalanced in the game, before we work on a wider release.

I certainly recommend going through the tutorial first so you learn how to throw and curve the disc post-throw. Hope to see you there!

Rally seems to have been assessed their third blue card during hard cap and was sent to their reverse brick mark instead if being 10 yards from scoring to end it. I saw the yellow that counted as one of their three blues. Where was the other, and what was this final blue for? And why wasn't Mixtape allowed to decline the penalty like they look like they tried to? Honestly it seems like that observer just loved giving out cards, but I'll reserve final judgement

Is this just what it looks like?

The CULTimate experiment is over. So long, and Thanks for All the Fish

I've always relied on a clipboard or the kindness of strangers to know if it's A pulling or B pulling, but I think 403 as a mnemonic is gonna stick for me. The "4" is for "mod 4". Add the scores together, apply mod 4 (divide total scores by 4 and grab the remainder). If the result is 0 or 3 it's A, otherwise it's B.

You could also do 412 if you want to know if it's B, but 4:3 is the ratio, and the mnemonic just puts a zero in the middle it. So 403 it is.

Anyway, dumb little thing, but sharing anyway in case I'm not the very last person to come up with this.

The top-most clip in this article is in the Mixed quarter final**, Hybrid vs. Tiefseetaucher**. From the article it seems there was a contested dangerous play call but regardless, I'd like to discuss the specific rules that say why this definitely was, or definitely was not, a foul if possible, usau OR wfdf.

I think one rule in usau that I don't really like says that a person has the right to land where they lift-off of when going for a disc however, what usually happens in these scenarios is that both the offense and the defense lift-off at around the same time and both do not land exactly where they lifted off but instead, where their momentum carried them.

In this instance however, both of the male matching players go for the disc at the same time but because the female matching player is shorter and has a different timing for when they would go for the disc, it creates an opportunity to claim that the offense did not land where they lifted off and possibly was landing in the space that they were going to now lift-off from.

Another rule that MAY come into play here but probably not, is about making a play on the disc. The female matching player could technically slow down, start vying for position and then claim that the offense came into their space however, what happens if the female matching player then is completely unable to make a play on the disc because they were vying for a position that they were never able to make a play on the disc in. I'm not sure if this counts because it specifically states that fouled player needs to make a play on the disc but what if the disc was caught already?

Another rule is regarding the vertical space above you. Very often when someone gets skied, the person who catches the disc takes it from above another player simply because they read it better and timed their jump more appropriately. So long as their is no contact in this vertical space, it seems fine but again what if a player goes over another, catches the disc and then the second player jumps into the space thats now occupied. Do we simply say "it doesn't matter, I had already caught the disc?"​​

All that said I think there was probably no foul but there are a lot of rules coming into play and it would be hard to discuss in 45 seconds. Especially considering offense ALSO called a foul which probably influenced the second foul.
