Welcome back to Fall League!
2011 Fall League Champions
We had a very successful 2011 tournament on Sunday Nov. 6, despite windy weather. Some great ultimate was played and the following teams played their way to championships in their respective playoff divisions:
- A Division: Triple Plaid
- B Division: Sweet Addiction
- C Division: South A
- D Division: Oops
- E Division: Central Revolution
- F Division: Cold Front
- All players must be properly registered on a team to play with a signed waiver. It is the captain's responsibility to ensure that all players are properly listed on the roster - no exceptions.
- Players are only allowed to play on one team; a player can only be on one roster. The league enforces this rule for two reasons: 1) to encourage as many players as possible to play in the league; 2) so teams are not artificially better during the season due to players who will not be able to play with them during the playoffs, thus causing uneven matchups during the final tournament.
- All players on a team's roster must play a minimum of two games in order to qualify to play during the playoffs (i.e. no ringers just for the playoffs).
- Fall League encourages teams to fill their rosters with players that are available for the majority of the season. Try not to have too many club players on your team, as it is not fair other teams if you are dominant one week and barely able to find enough players the next. See the section below titled Fall League Variations from UPA Rules for additional details about substitute players.
- Rosters must be finalized prior to October 1st. Prior to that date, players may be added to or deleted from a team's roster.
- Players will be able to call equipment timeouts
- The savage-plus-one rule applies throughout the entire Fall League season and playoffs. This means that walk-on players are only allowed in order to bring a team to a maximum of 5 men and 4 women, must be of equal skill to the player being replaced, and must be announced to and agreed upon by the opposing captain prior to the game. If the team already has 5 men or 4 women, then walk-on players are not allowed.
- All registered players must play in a minimum of two games during the regular season in order to play during the playoffs. While this is a tough rule to enforce, the league will rely upon the honor system and verification from opposing captains if necessary. The intent of this rule is to encourage teams to generate a relatively consistent level of play throughout the regular and post seasons.
- Time
Cap: All games are to a score of
15, hard capped at 17, unless a time cap applies.
- Time caps are enforced for all games played during the first and second time slots, as well as games being played on Field 4 (the kickball/softball field) during the final time slot. All games, except for Field 4, played in the final time slot can be played without a time cap, but captains should be mindful of darkness and make pre-game, half-time, or mid-game agreements as necessary.
- Fifteen minutes before the start of the next scheduled game, a time cap is applied.
- Finish the point if the disc is still in play.
- If one team is ahead by two or more after the point is completed, the game is over.
- Otherwise, set a hard-cap of leading score +1.
- If the game has not finished by the time the next round is scheduled to begin, play will end at the next change of possession even if that means a tie. Your game is no more important than the next game scheduled to be played.
- All games are to: 13 points (mirror when first team reaches 7 points, no halftime break)
- Soft time cap: N/A
- Hard time cap: 70 min. (i.e. play 70 min, finish the point and end game. If tied after ending point, play one more point)
- Time-outs: 1 per half + 1 floater (2 min/timeout)
- Prior to a final bracket championship game, captains can agree to eliminate the time cap if it appears that darkness will not be a factor. It is beneficial for teams to find and have a Fall League board member present for any captain agreements prior to the game.
- All players must be properly registered and listed on a team's roster. Prior to the semi-final and final games for the A-bracket championship, a Fall League board member will verify the roster of each team during the pre-game captain's meeting.
- If a team is found to have broken any of the tournament or league rules regarding rosters, the team will be automatically eliminated from championship contention. If a roster infraction is determined after a game has been played, the violating team will be stripped of any titles and or wins during the tournament. Those games will be officially listed as forfeits.
Triple Plaid - 2011 Fall League Champions
Fall League 2011
Registration begins on August 1st and ends once 42 teams have registered and paid. 2010 teams that did not forfeit any games will be guaranteed a spot in the league if registered and paid by August 15th. After August 15th, spots in the league will be given in order of paid registration (i.e. not when registered, but when payment is received). Once 42 teams have paid, registration will close. The cost per team is $300. The league strongly encourages teams to pay via PayPal to ensure timely placement in the league.
Schedule
Fall League will run from Sunday September 11th through the final tournament on Sunday November 6th. Playoffs begin on October 30th with the championship tournament concluding Fall League on November 6th. All games are played at the Lake Nokomis Fields. Most regular season game times will be played during three time slots between noon and 5pm. For scheduling purposes, teams with lower rankings will tend to have games in the early time slot, teams with middle rankings during the middle time slot, and upper ranked teams in the late time slot. Rankings will change week to week based on game results. To start the season, rankings will be determined by the Fall League board. The championship tournament on November 6th will begin at 9am. Please read and familiarize yourself with the league rules.
Waivers
Waivers must be on file for every player on your team. As a team captain, you are responsible for making sure that every player has signed a waiver, either electronically or via turning in a paper waiver. After Week 2, teams will not be allowed to play unless all registered players have submitted a signed waiver. Players may turn in a signed, paper waiver to Frisbee Central or they can sign their waiver online by logging in.
Rosters
The following rules apply regarding rosters:Fall League Variations from UPA Rules
All UPA 11th Edition rules apply to Fall League with the following exceptions:Fields / Field Setup
- All games are played at the Lake Nokomis Fields. For the 2011 season, in addition to the usual Fields 1-7 we will be using the same Field 0 used during the final tournament. The league will endeavor to mark the fields to aid captains in field setup. The fields will be setup for Week 1, but captains will be responsible for setting up their fields thereafter. Please take note of field locations, refer to the field map located at Frisbee Central, and be mindful of captains needing to set up other fields. It is highly likely that you will not have a full-sized ultimate field due to space limitations. Please be rational and reasonable regarding that issue.
