Hey everyone,A lot of people have asked how to register, and the answer is in the newly uploaded file called "BUSL 2009 registration form." Just fill that out and send it back to me. (If you send electronically, instead of circling you can just italicize or highlight your choices or something.)
If you're going to be at the hat tournament on July 5, we'll have printouts of the form there.
Also, shirts will probably cost RMB 80, so put this number in place of the "TK" on the form. Remember though, shirts are included in the half- and full-season prices.

THE THIRD ANNUAL BEIJING ULTIMATE SUMMER LEAGUE!
We're going to kick things off with a hat tournament on July 5, which is two Sundays away, at the HAPPY VALLEY fields from 3 to 6 p.m. For those who were here last year, we're on the same fields again -- check Google Groups' FILES for directions and a map (file name "004_Happy Valley location.pdf," posted by Jason Cox). Carpools will be organized next week, so keep an eye on the boards for that and more info as it becomes available.
Here are the essential need-to-knows:
There will be FOUR TEAMS captained by:
- Alicia and Kevin (who captained the winning team last year)

- July 12, 19, 26, Aug. 2, 9, 16: Regular season games (two-cycle round robin)
- Aug. 23: Finals / party (food and all-you-can-drink beer)
(Regular season: 3 to 3:30 p.m.: warmup/drills; 3:35 to 4:50: game; 5 to 6: pickup)
FEES (local students get a discount, thus the second number)
Full: all 8 weeks, including hat tourney, 6 regular season games, finals/party AND shirt: RMB 280 / 140
Half: 3 regular season games plus finals/party (but no hat tourney) and shirt: 150 / 80

Single regular season game: 40 / 25
Finals/party: 80 / 50
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're unable to attend the hat tourney, where most of the registration stuff will be handled, be sure to send me a note by replying to this post (reply to author, not all) so that we know to put you in the player pool for the draft.
Get excited, Beijing. All are welcome, including those who have never played Frisbee before. We have an excellent group of captains who are as dedicated to teaching the game and nurturing the sport as promoting fun and competition.
Expect updates all throughout the week leading up to the hat tourney next Sunday.
Sweet,
Beijing Ultimate Committee

Hey tournament enthusiasts,I know we're still basking in the gong show that was last weekend in Shanghai. But im bored at work and did some research about Singapore !
So , the tournament is August 8th - 9th (in singapore), the last time Big Brother went as a team they won ! If they could do it , its probably pretty easy to go in there and dominate which is always fun in my books. And if that doesnt go to plan , we could just go and win the party award again.
SO getting there: I've concocted a dirt cheap way to get there (but requires Friday and Monday being taken off work for those who actually have 9-5 jobs)
so Friday: Train to tianjin, fly tianjin to kuala lumpur, fly KL to singapore ! - leave beijing around 6:00 amam get to singapore at 3:30 pm
and returning : leave at 9:00 pm , and arrive back in beijing the following morning for 7:05 am.
this is all for 1486 RMB as of yesterday !!!!!!!!!!!!! TAX INCLUDED !!! (+ train cost to get to tianjin, but i think thats like only 20 kuai round trip)
now thats a pretty good deal.
anyways, im not even sure if im going yet - but several people have exprsesed interest
aaron and his girlfriend andrea is going for sure, in fact aaron has told me "he would love to tear sh** up in singapore" ....of course he does , and i hope he means on the field and not anywhere else
Its still early but express your interest , opinions and grievances here !
