Hey all,

Hope you all enjoyed your first games of the 2012 season last week!  A couple of things from our first day of games:

Where and when to sub

Please sub in the “sub box” (basically on either side of the scorekeeper’s table).  What works best is for one player of each gender to be ready to go in the sub box.  The rest of the team can take a breather on the bench (ie: sit down).  This also helps us scorekeepers to see the play in the endzone.  If we can’t see what’s going on because everyone’s standing up, we might just not award you that point.

Make sure you sub early and often.  Staying out there too long for too long a shift just annoys your teammates.  Oh, and sub on offence.  Your team will thank you.

In or out?

The playing surface for Indoor is marked by the thick black line around the court.  The front of the endzone is marked by a blue line.  If your foot is on or over the line, you are not in.  A lot of points were missed last Sunday by players not realizing that they were already OB when they caught the disc.  And if you are OB, make sure you step inbounds before you catch the disc.

Timeouts

There is one 90 second timeout per team.  Timeouts cannot be called within the last five minutes of the game (check out the remaining time on the score clock).  If you call timeout during the last five minutes, it’s a turnover.  Use your timeout wisely.

Jerseys

Team colours have been decided via random draw and your jerseys have been printed, courtesy of One-Apparel.com!  They will be available at the start of each game this Sunday at the scorekeeper’s table.  The UPDATED team colours are as follows:

Team 1: Red, Team 2: White, Team 3: Yellow, Team 4: Orange

Team 5: Forest Green, Team 6: Black, Team 7: Purple, Team 8: Blue

Start times

We have confirmed with the JCC that our start times are at 15 minutes past the hour (2:15pm, 3:15pm, and so on).  Please remember that we do not run on Ultimate Time.  Show up early and warm up.  The longer it takes to get started, the shorter your game will be.

Team names

Please come up with a team name!  The more imaginative the better.  This year’s default team name (should you not come up with one awesome enough based on our high standards) is Team Meadow Muffin, aka the Fighting Meadow Muffins! Please discuss amongst yourselves and have your team names ready by the third week.  We sent you all your team emails.  Use them!

Discs

In case you weren’t listening to us last week, we have Indoor discs for sale!  One for $10; two for $20!  Buy them quick as supplies are limited!  Find them for sale at the scorekeeper’s table!

That’s all for now.  See you this Sunday!
