Ultimate season has kicked off in North America with tryouts and as our top teams form up my thoughts turn (once again) to WUCC 2010 in Prague. While announced years ago the preparations and team lists for Prague are far from complete. Teams across the divisions continue to drop out (Ultimate players are notoriously flaky…ask any Tournament Director) while dedicated teams fill the spots freed up. Last week Doublewide locked in their spot and a team that hasn’t been seen internationally all that much should stun many teams this July.

Apologies for the delayed coverage; I’ve been working on many things and that’s why I haven’t had time to finish writing up my experience. In the meantime hope you like this image pulled from my visit to Paganello HQ:

Pretty cool idea from VC Ultimate: VC Ultimate Tag. Instructions and how to play the game by following the link: http://www.

During Paganello finals Patrick announced that the 2011 Beach Ultimate World Championships would be held in a small place known as Lignano Sabbiadoro. From the bid we’re told that it’s a full service complex with on site hotels and a pristine beach on the Adriatic. Of course, it’s better if you could just see a video on the location:

Via Patrick: I just finished emailing a 36-page motion to the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) to have Beach Ultimate officially recognized as a Flying Disc Sport and for the WFDF to co-host the upcoming World Championships.This motion will be voted on by WFDF members at the next World Ultimate Club Championships in Prague in July. Why is it a good thing for Beach Ultimate to be independent from (grass) Ultimate and why should the WFDF support the next World Championships?
