Vancouver Indoor Ultimate

Hey everyone,

Just a quick note that we’re extending the deadline for our extra jersey order since, apparently, a bunch of you don’t read your emails.  :p  Send in your orders by email ASAP. We will accept cash (and cheques if we like you) at the scorekeeper’s table next Sunday.  More details below:

Our sponsor, One-Apparel, has generously extended our super deal on VIU jerseys!  Get an extra jersey (or two or three) of any colour and any size!  Collect the whole set!  Wear them to job interviews!  Weddings!  First dates!  A super low price of $15 each!

Email us with the following info:

your name, jersey size(s), quantity, and jersey colour(s) – choose from white, blue, navy blue, black, forest green, lime green, red, yellow, orange, burgundy, and purple

The jerseys should be ready a week after we send in the order.

Don’t forget that we also have fancy Indoor discs for sale!  $10 each!  Or go for the deal at two for $20!  Find them at the scorekeeper’s table at every game!

Thanks!

Howdy folks – just a short message from the Site administrator (or Webmistress, as the Jeremys like to call me. Personally, I prefer AllKnowingWebGuru, but no need to state the obvious)

Oops! Schedule Mishap…

Apologies for the Scheduling mix-up last week due to a website glitch. We accidentally had last season’s schedule up for a few days, which didn’t have some of the changes we made to it this year.  However, we didn’t realize some of you were checking your game schedule early on in the week.  Not to worry, these kinds of technical glitches should be far and few in between.  There should be NO MORE SCHEDULE CHANGES for the remainder of the season unless the Jeremys inform you otherwise.  But you can always double-check the day before to ensure you’ve got the right time.

How about a Subs list?

A mailing list has been set up for those wanting to SUB for other games!  If your team is short on people, you can send an email to all the subs to see who might be able to sub.  This may work well for any last minute shortages too, especially since many of us are constantly connected via email these days. Keep in mind that you should be looking for a player similar to your level, so make sure to specify what skill level you are.  This is to ensure we keep our hat teams as even as possible.

If you’re interested, contact the Jeremys with your name requesting to be on the Subs list.

By the way, we’ve been updating our Scores and Standings after games each week, so be sure to keep tabs on how your team is doing!

Hi everyone!

Before we get started on some housekeeping issues, a belated Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you all!  This holiday season has been particularly busy for us two Jeremys so please forgive us for not getting in touch with you sooner.  :)

Partners

As some of you may have noticed, this year’s registration was a bit different than last year’s.  Unfortunately, there were a few bugs in adding VIU to the VUL registration system and it did not capture any partner info.  :(  Many apologies.  IMPORTANT: We need at least one person from each pair that signed up to email us to let us know who you’ve partnered up with. If you’re playing as a single, you do not have to email us.  If we do not receive an email from you by or or your partner by January 4th, 2012, we’ll be assuming that you’re playing as a single.

Teams

Unfortunately, without the information requested above, we cannot begin to make teams so PLEASE EMAIL US YOUR PARTNER’S INFO as soon as possible.  The faster we get the information, the faster we can get the teams made.  The faster we get the teams made, the faster you’ll know when you’re playing on our first day of games on January 8th, 2012!

Jerseys

Dan Bergson from One Apparel will be on hand during the first day of games with a full set of jersey sizes for everyone to try on.  Men’s AND women’s sizing will be available.  We will collect everyone’s sizing choices then.  If you’re planning on missing the first day of games, we’ll be basing our order on the jersey size you chose during the registration process unless you tell us otherwise.

Thanks everyone!  See you all on the 8th!  And remember to email us your partner’s name!

We’re back baby, and better than ever! The 2012 Vancouver Indoor Ultimate season is just around the corner and registration for our valued past players starts now!

But before you start throwing your dollar bills at us, a few things:

1) We’ve partnered with the VUL this year for their good looks and deep pockets. No huge changes except that this will be the first year that we won’t have to run this show with our credit cards. We’re still at the Jewish Community Centre on Sundays from 2pm to 6pm. First day of games will be on January 8th, 2012 and will run every Sunday till March 25th, 2012.

2) Registration for the 2012 Indoor season will now be done through the VUL website at https://www.vul.bc.ca/v3/regwiz/. You need to be a registered player with the VUL and payments will be via credit card through the VUL’s secure payment page. If you aren’t already registered with the VUL (though we’re sure most of you are), sign up now as it’s free!

3) Registration fees are now $60 per person. Before you go all #occupyindoorultimate on us, the extra $10 goes towards fancy dri-fit team jerseys provided by One Apparel for everyone! You’ll be asked for a jersey size during the registration process.

4) We’re still giving you the option of signing up with a friend, because we like you. If there’s someone you’d like to play with, just write that into the “notes to coordinators”, and make sure they do, too.

That’s pretty much it. Sign up now!

See you all this January!

It’s in the works!  More details to follow in late Fall.

Congrats to all of you on an awesome 2011 season and congrats to Team Monkeyballs on winning the Championship this past Sunday in a hard-fought victory!  Epic effort from everyone!

MVPs!

We’ll be announcing this year’s MVPs on Sunday, which were chosen by super-secret ballot. Unfortunately we didn’t have the chance to ask everyone to vote for their team’s MVP, so the super-secret ballot was mostly us throwing darts at all of your pictures and seeing what stuck. Apologies for any stabbing facial pain over the past week; we were not informed that they were voodoo darts.

Thank Yous!

Imagine our surprise when we found out last Sunday that a bunch of you had chipped in on gift cards for us! We were so surprised that we almost didn’t call you bitches, but fortunately cooler heads prevailed and the Grand Indoor Tradition of Inappropriate Namecalling was preserved.

We haven’t been in it for the money until now, but you have set a very dangerous precedent. Bribery has always been accepted and expected, but genuine gratitude was not something we had considered. We’re very glad that all y’all have enjoyed yourselves, and the sense of community you’ve helped us build over the past 5 years has been reward in and of itself, so thank you. Plus, we get to play frisbee inside, which is a total score.

Finals!

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but it’s finals time. So that means only one thing: more swilly shit than you can shake a disc at.

At 2:15 – Five Alive vs. Alpacas
Not only are these two teams fighting for the coveted Not Last Place Award, but they are also duking it out for the prestigious 1st Annual Phlegm Award, given to the team who best exemplifies the feeling you get if a) you just drank a whole bottle of tropical citrus blend or b) are wooly and look like a llama. These awards are invisible and imaginary, so wear them proudly. And with the mutually exclusive honours up for grabs, everyone’s a winner(?)!

At 3:15 – My Little Pony vs. Balls of your Monkey
You may think that these teams are fighting for 5th place, but you’d be wrong. They’re actually fighting for the Top of the Bottom Award. This award may also be imaginary and invisible, but it’s named after one of the more awkward sexual positions known, so anyone who’s able to declare themselves the Top of the Bottom gets instant street cred and another notch on the post. And maybe herpes.

At 4:15 – Fourplay vs. Lemurballs
I think it probably goes without saying that lemur testes should not have anything to do with fourplay [sic]; unfortunately, the Frisbee Gods have made it so. We think the best thing to do here is to just accept that this is the way it is, and maybe just not talk about it ever again. Like, ever. Just…just shut up.

At 5:15 – Bucky Balls vs. Monkeyballs
Destiny’s Team didn’t just break seed. They crushed it, ground it into a fine powder, which they subsequently snorted, somehow giving them even more power. It was a sight to see, I assure you. Like one Highlander killing another. Lightning and the works. That said, they don’t have it easy. The Monkeyballs may not have been the most consistent team during the regular season (45-14 loss anyone?), but they’re stepping it up in the playoffs. We may have even seen a playoff beard in there somewhere, which takes a remarkable amount of dedication/laziness to pull off. Have The Fates already chosen this year’s champion, or will their screams of anguish be heard when the buzzer sounds at 6:13 on Sunday?

Stick around and watch, this Sunday Sunday SUNDAY!
