Each Thursday usaultimate.org will feature a different topic of discussion on its message boards in order to engage USA Ultimate members and the Ultimate community around the world. The idea is to encourage discussion about some of the current events happening in the sport of Ultimate, and to collect opinions, ideas and feedback from our members and athletes across the globe. Interesting, exciting, controversial or informative, a featured topic will be chosen each week and representatives from USA Ultimate will provide their input in an effort to enhance its communications with the Ultimate world. Please send topics you’d like to see discussed to matthew@hq.usaultimate.org

I predict this to be the fastest sectionals in the history of the USAU/UPA.

Thats really just pathetic why don't they just stick them in another section or kick them both to regionals. What a waste of time.

They'll probably only get one bid and the Capitals will get it anyway. This is a feat of scheduling prowess though since the RIT team is also playing in the Buffalo tournament this weekend. The sectionals game will literally be their 6th game of the day!!! What Buffalo should have done was to make the women's part of their tournament the sectionals tournament and then the section would get a couple bids.

well, that explains why they didn't have pool play then an elimination game. :)

Exactly the whole thing doesnt make sense. If I vote for you will you make one of your campaign promises to bring common sense to that section?

My campaign promise is to bring common sense to EVERYTHING. As an engineer, that's the only way I do things.
