Important Notes:

There is camping at the party location, there are still spots for women's bids, the men's pools have been posted, and please send in your fees.

The open bracket is now full. Thanks to all the teams who submitted bids, and sorry to the teams who didn't make it in. Field space in Grinnell is always something of a problem, and has been exacerbated by construction on campus this year. There is still room in the women's bracket for teams, however, so send us bids if you haven't already.

Also, we have tournament discs for sale this year, so bring 10 bucks to take home a momento of the first college tournament of the season!

The date for Elephantitis, our home tournament, has been set: September 13 and 14. I'll also be moving profiles and pictures and links over this this new site...probably once school has started, though.

Well, I've finally finished the design and some of the content for this site. Moving all the pictures and videos and links over is going to take a while, but I wanted to put the site up here for feedback. Read below for more.

For clarification: I'm eventually going to move all the player bios over from the old site, so you don't have to submit a bio if you already have one on the old site (unless you want to change or update it). I'm asking people who haven't yet submitted bios at all to do so (if you want! nothing is mandatory).

-Hanna

This is my mockup for a new Grinnell Ultimate website. I thought it was time to give the site an overhaul, implementing the latest team logos and color schemes and generally making everything more updated. I maintained most of the earlier organization, and unless anyone has any ideas, I don't see a need for many new content areas. The site uses valid XHTML and CSS, and if any of you want the source, I would be happy to send it to you. Take a look at the different pages, and let me know what you think by emailing [lieblhan]. If you see anything odd, be sure to include what broswer you're using.

This would also be a good time to submit a bio if you haven't already done so, because, let's be honest here, what else are you going to do now that it's summer? Take a look at existing bios for inspiration or make something up on your own, then email them to Jay or me with a picture, and we'll get it up here as soon as possible. This includes alums, too, since I made some alumni player sections already.

Welcome to the home of Grinnell Ultimate on the web. We have a men's team (the Grinnellephants) and a women's team (the Sticky Tongue Frogs). Both teams travel to tournaments around the Midwest, and each spring, both teams compete in the annual college series.

New players are always welcome-- anyone, with any experience, is encouraged to come to practice and join the team.

Our practices are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 4:20 to 6:30 on Mac Field. Bring a light and a dark shirt, water, cleats if you have them, and come play with us!

What is Ultimate? Ultimate is a non-contact sport played with a disc (frisbee) on a field with two endzones. Two teams of seven players each try to score in their endzone by advancing down the field by throwing and catching the disc. Like in basketball, players must establish a pivot foot when they catch the disc; there is no running with the disc in hand. There are no officials or referees in ultimate-- play is governed by the "Spirit of the Game," an understanding between players and teams that fair play is of the highest importance. This means that all fouls and violations are self-regulated. In the United States, the Ultimate Players Association regulates and organizes club, college, and high school leagues, tournaments, and teams.
