Field Update
Posted by Joel on June 24, 2008
my apologies for being a little tardy on getting field information out for this week - if your field number is listed as "0", you will be playing at QECVI - the time slot will be the same as posted on the web site
however, we no longer have the use of the football field as they are closing it for the season to do some repairs (the good news being that next year we should have access to a well maintained field)
the area that we will be using is by the baseball diamond and soccer fields - there will be a new image on the "fields" page of the website that clearly shows where these fields need to be set up - hopefully this information along with the proper schedule will be up by the end of today
cheers, Joel.
Update: fields 14 and 15 now appear in the schedule, and they've been added to the fields page along with field setup guides.

Rain Policy
Posted by Joel on June 4, 2008
the rain policy for Kingston Ultimate is as follows:
If there is heavy rain we can not use the fields and games will be canceled, but games will still go on in light rain conditions. When games need to be canceled, I will send out an email to the mailing list and post the cancellation to the web site by 4pm game day. Given that emails some times get bogged down, your best bet is to check the web site to make sure you get the proper information. If there is no posting to the web site, then games are on as scheduled.
The only exception to the above is if the weather is looking good and games are set to happen, but after 4pm a sudden heavy storm rolls in. If this happens I would ask that people use common sense and not use the fields. I do check the weather forecast before making the decision to play or not, so hopefully this will be a rare occurrence.
There are two main reasons I wait until 4pm to put up the notice. The first is that the groups leasing the field don't make their official decision until shortly before 4pm and I need to give them time to contact me. The second is that often there will be a change to the weather during the course of the day and waiting closer to game time allows for a better decision to be made.
The bbq at the Elixir will happen each Wednesday regardless of whether the game is played or canceled.

Tournaments
Gender Blender
Posted by Joel on March 27, 2008
Hey Everyone,
Gender Blender is heading into it's twelveth glorious year of top notch ultimate, amazing outdoor fun, crazy activity, awesome food and of course... blenderific partying amongst the genders.
If you're never been to Gender Blender, simply ask around. You'll be told stories of a weekend so fantastic, it is almost mythical. Crazy all-night parties where people hand you drinks just because you ask! Grass greener than any seen on a city field. Discs that fly the length of the field to the receivers hands, practically on their own! Cowboys and nurses, Tim Hortons and lingerie, Drinko and Mini-golf! All-star games and Talent shows, and singing to Jon Bon Jovi at the top of your lungs. Wandering back to your tent at 4am in the morning only to get up to the smell of bacon from Larry's trailer park. Camping and swimming, awesome food, runaway gnomes, tough D and layouts, more teams than at any tourney outside of Nationals!
And it's all true.
So come one, come all... get a team together, submit an amazing bid to get in and head to the promised land in Fergus Ontario this June.
Gender Blender XII Website for details
We look forward to seeing you there!
