2002-2003 Winter Indoor Registration

What is it:
Indoor Ultimate is played at Lansdowne Park under an air pressurized dome. It's a fast paced 6 on 6 game played on a field about 60 yards long and 30 yeards wide (approximately). The field is made of Real Turf, an artficial turf that feels pretty darn close to real grass. Running shoes can be worn, although regular outdoor cleats are recommended. Gender ratio is determined by the gender ratio at registration. /

How Registration Works:
1) Registration is open from October 10th until October 28th, 6pm.

2) If, at the end of registration, there is more demand than spots available for a given night a random draw will take place to determine who will receive a spot.

3) At the end of registration, those that get spots will have their cheques cashed, those that do not make it, will have their cheques ripped up.

4) Captains will be selected based on the registration forms and teams will be formed based on a draft by the captains.

How to Register:
1) Send a cheque made out to "The Ottawa Carleton Ultimate Association" for the amount for the night desired. If multiple nights are desired, please write seperate cheques. Send it to:

Ottawa Carleton Ultimate Association
C/O Gavin Thompson
1289 Lotus St
Ottawa Ont
K1J 8A9
Please do not postdate the cheque past October 29th.

2) Include with the cheque, the answer to the following questions:
a) Name:
b) Sex:
c) Night desired:
d) Are you willing to be a captain?
e) E-mail address:
f) Phone number:

Notes:
1) People playing in the Tuesday night league are not eligible for the Wednesday Night Competitive League (run seperately), and vice versa. This is to allow more people the opportunity to play indoor. If people are attempting to register for the Wednesday league, they are also encouraged to register for the Tuesday league at the same time (if they so desire). If they are selected for the Wednesday night league, their name will be removed from the Tuesday night list. If someone does not register for Tuesday league and fails to get into the Wednesday league, there is no way to register for the Tuesday league at that point.

2) People may only register as couples in the Tuesday night league. Friday and Saturdays have the same timeslot every week, so transportation should not be an issue. If couples desire to register as couples for Tuesday nights, they can do so. Couples will be selected based on the number of spots requested by couples. For example if half of the people registering desire to do so as couples, half of the spots will be given to couples. If a quarter of the people who register do so as couples, then a quater of the spots will be given to couples. This will give the people who desire to register as couples an equal chance to register (not better, not worse).

3) E-mail notifications will be sent out on the receipt of the registration package (cheque and answer to questions). E-mail notification will be sent out again when the order of selection has been determined on the 28th.

4) Applications will not be accepted by e-mail, nor if either the cheque or bio missing.

5) Anyone using junkmail filters (especially hotmail) will probably have their notification blocked as it is sent out in distribution lists using the Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) field. During registration you should monitor your junkmail folders.
