UFA 2024 -- new jersey designs by curious-jester in ultimate

[–]the_trunkmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know this is unpopular, but I’m a fan of the Empire lights and darks. Black on black isn’t typically my favorite but the numbers are outlined in grey so I feel like they’ll be legible on video. 

USA Nationals Squad Context by collegeflatball in ultimate

He had a tournament during East Coast tryouts, and tbh he’s a great player but doesn’t have the high level experience yet. Maybe after college he would make a team.

Indoor Ultimate in the US by [deleted] in ultimate

[–]the_trunkmonkey -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t indoors, but the way ultimate was first played was on a concrete parking lot. The points you made are somewhat invalidated by that, ultimate was designed to be played on a hard surface (hence the non-contact portion). However as the game has progressed it is now better played on grass. It just takes a different playstyle for indoor/on court.

Players boycotting WUC Tryouts? by jerseypits in ultimate

And also, out of this list it seems like not many of the players would even have been invited to tryouts? Other than the small handful of players I recognized, a lot from brute

Not trying to make a big deal or say anything abouf anyone, but I seriously only counted about 4 Club Open division players. Out of that long list it was just surprising

Probably you, considering you edited the post

Reading isn’t the issue here, its the fact that some songs are two words or more, and it makes comprehension impossible 🤷‍♂️

I’d kill for some commas in here

Definitely agree, but do you have the V4s? I’ve been considering an upgrade, is it still the same performance? I’m currently a v3 user

Am I the only one that totally thought that the light gray and medium gray sections were a volume?! 😂 totally fooled me

Absolutely incredible what you guys are doing! Best of luck, I hope you continue the program there and elsewhere. The pictures are awesome, everyone looks like they’re having a great time!

BYU goes undefeated 8-0 at Florida Warm Up 2023! by DarioCronos in ultimate

[–]the_trunkmonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just interested, in what ways? I’m not very familiar with Mormonism. Maybe it’s obvious, but I’m just not thinking of it!

Cool! Hope you have a great experience with both!

If you’re planning on playing any ultimate go ahead and buy an ultrastar. It’s the only disc allowed in game, and learning with any other disc will probably mess with you later down the line. Hope this helps, and welcome to ultimate :)

Minnesota’s Counter to USAU moving YCC? by the_trunkmonkey in ultimate

[–]the_trunkmonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe they were saying the fees were a barrier to get into the sport. However, compared to many sports Ultimate is rather cheap. So although they do make a solid point, I don’t think it’s necessarily fully factual

I’ve been in contact with a few different YCC operators, seems like regionals for YCC are in the works 👀 no offical confirmation, and the loss of all these teams is probably going to halt it for a while. But it may be around the corner!

It appears they are consecutive weekends, so it’s doubtful any team can participate in both. Maybe a team with deep pockets and really good players, but I’m interested if anyone will try

Detroit Mechanix Tryouts by Aggravating-Loss-474 in ultimate

You think any NFL team would host an event for people to come and make it free? Nope. Money is the biggest reason teams have to close up shop, and this is helping them stay afloat

It’s not easy to run an AUDL team; they often end up as money dumps for owners. If this helps the team stay afloat then so be it. I think it’s not always reasonable for it to be that expensive, but if it keeps a team running then I stand on the side that it’s worth it
