48 Hours until roster deadline

All,

Only 48 hours to go for the roster registration deadline for USA Ultimate NE Upstate 2010 Open Sectionals.

Please goto the following link to login and register your roster:

https://members.usaultimate.org/members/login.php

This year a roster needs to consist of 10 players by August 27th at 5PM unless your team is eligible for the college exemption. College teams only need one roster member by August 27th.

College Teams:
Don't miss this opportunity for the best ultimate that will be played in the section this year. See what Open National Caliber ultimate is.

In addition to rostering one player by August 27th you need to file for the college exemption to play in UNY Sectionals.

This is a simple thing to do. Just follow the steps below:

By August 27th the team must contact the Championship Manager and request the college extension. Teams need to include in their request the school name, club section, start of term, and team contact.

The Championship Manager is Byron Hicks: byron@hq.usaultimate.org
AND

By the Finalized Roster Deadline (September 14th), the full team must be entered into the online rostering system. The college extension teams are exempt from the 7 player additions maximum. If a team (see Player minimums, above) is not registered and valid by that deadline, the team will be dropped from the Series.

Thanks,
Steve

The rostering deadline for this years Club Series is August 27th 5pm MDT. This is the most important date. There has been a change in rostering requirements for 2010. In the past 7 players is all it took to create a roster. That number has been increased to 10 players for 2010. The reason is that we getting a lot of teams that would roster with only 7 players and then never add anyone else and then drop right before sectionals. This created more work for HQ working with teams we thought were going to be there. Hopefully by upping the amount of players needed to form a team we will cut down on the amount of teams signing up on a whim and then dropping out. This does not impact the College Exception Rule which allows school based teams to create a roster with only one player.

Please let me know what questions, comments, or concerns you have.

Thanks,

24 Hours to Sectional Roster Deadline

Friday is the registration deadline. Get your rosters into the UPA system. Note the deadline is: 7PM EDT time, NOT midnight.

Teams must register a valid roster (7 players minimum, unless granted a college extension) by 7PM Eastern. This date is the same for all teams, regardless of when their sectional tournament is held. Teams may add up to 7 more players by the Finalized Roster Deadline. Players do not NEED to have all of their waivers and dues covered by Friday, all that is needed is to sign up with their UPA ID. Players WILL need to have waivers and dues complete before sectionals though and now is a good time to be working to that end.

Currently we have 10 teams in process for the section.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.

Thanks,
Steve
