East Bay Winter League

Welcome

Welcome to the new home page for the East Bay Winter League. Transitions from our previous web site are still in progress, so please excuse us if you cannot find what you're looking for right away. You may use this page as your main resource guide for the upcoming East Bay Winter League 2009-10 season.

Once again we are hosting our league on Tuesday and Thursday nights in Berkeley. Most games will be at Gilman Fields while a few games on Thursday nights will be at San Pablo Fields. Games begin on Tuesday December 1, 2009, and last until Thursday February 25, 2010. Exact game schedules with field assignments will be announced once we have set up teams.

Game Schedule

The Winter League 2009-10 game schedule is viewable from Google docs. Please let us know if you have any difficulty viewing it, and we'll provide it in another format.

Winter 2009-10 Registration Update

Registration began at the end of October, and will remain open until the end of the season. Although rosters are currently full for both men and women, we highly encourage latecomers to join the wait list, as we will replace players who drop out throughout the season. We'll pro-rate your fee for a mid-season start. The wait list is not quite processed first-come, first-served; to preserve team balance, we replace dropouts with players of like gender and similar experience level. All skill levels welcome at all times.

Also, bear in mind that the wait list for women is much shorter than the wait list for men. See real-time signup status messages below.

We would like to THANK EVERYBODY for the overwhelming response. This season is the first time ever that we sold out women's spots. Not only are we fully stocking every team with 7 women at the very start of the season, we also successfully expanded from 12 to 14 teams, a goal that we were not able to make last year. Look for 4:3 play all game, every game this season. It's going to be FAN-tastic!

Here are a couple more things to consider as the new 2009-10 season gets underway:

• UPA Memberships No Longer Required! - Yes, you read correctly. You will not have to renew your UPA memberships to play the upcoming season. We realize that the lifting of UPA membership requirements is a big departure from the past. Please look over this informational page if you need clarification.
• Join Our Mailing Lists! - Bay Area Disc Association owns and operates not one, but two of the largest Ultimate-related lists in the country on Yahoogroups. We invite all East Bay players to join our NEWS list to get all official league announcements and to join our COMMUNITY list to get plugged into all miscellany posted by Ultimate players, for Ultimate players. What's that? Are you already on too many lists? Yeah, we know...we at Bay Area Disc Association know there are too many lists out there. This fall, we continue on our ambitious endeavor to consolidate email lists in the area. Please read on to learn more, or if you want to help.
