Do you (or are you planning to) organize an Ultimate Event in Canada (or a major Ultimate event anywhere) this year? We'd like to hear from you. We are updating our Tourneys page on SotG.ca. We intend to maintain this list from this point forward. Please drop us a line...

Flowerbowl 2008 in Vancouver, BC ( June 7-8): A huge success

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:46:00 +0000

The Okanagan Men's and Women's Ultimate teams (Kelowna, BC) both finished undefeated in the Open and Women's divisions. Congratulations to the Sofa Kings and to Bushfire!

Competition was elevated as teams prepared themselves for the upcoming Nationals and the WFDF Worlds later in the year. There were spirited games as well as brawls. Hmmm, is the UPA going to step up to this one???

Open Elite
Furious over Tonka Truck (TFP men): 15-8.
Tonka hung in well against Furious in the round robin, losing 15-12, and they took it 17-16 in the semi-final vs. Blackfish, while Furious removed Voodoo in the other semi.

Women's Elite
Fury over Riot: 15-10.
Fury beat Traffic and Riot took Great Britain in the semis.

the Huddle posts

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 01:19:00 +0000

Here's a new site with a great philosophy and ambitious goals. It is a conduit to publish ideas from the best Ultimate players. According to the author, the "goal at the Huddle is to publicize the best strategic knowledge available from the Ultimate community. The only way to do this is to go to the source; the players and coaches that have had success implementing and teaching their strategies for top club and college teams. The resulting panel of authors has varied backgrounds, locations, team histories and successes, but they all share one thing in common: their teams win games."

New Blog Site

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Sat, 31 May 2008 20:00:00 +0000

We've switched to Google's Blogger. All SotG blogs for http://www.sotg.ca/ will now be posted on Blogger. Blogs will still be used to announce updates to the site, newsworthy items pertaining to Ultimate, and SotG site issues.

Note: The SotG forum (TalkFest) is currently off-line due to a controversy with BigDaddy. BigDaddy had a computer glitch that affected the forum and refuses to acknowledge their responsibility. We will update this feed once the concerns are resolved. We apologize for any inconvenience - Administration

I'm working on the tournaments page, but much of the finer detail will take a while to complete. Dates need to be confirmed. The scope has to be finalized. I'd like to get a more complete picture of the BC Tournaments.

GoDaddy has opted to be difficult and has blocked access to our guestbook. Please accept our apologies while we work through this misunderstanding -- SotG Administrator

TalkFest

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 18:14:00 +0000

Please visit our beta TalkFest page. We are testing a simple software program and would like to know what you think. Also, I think the forms scripts (Recommend Subscribe Ask-a-Question) are now working properly. Please try them out and let me know how they work. If you don't actually want to subscribe, just say so in the "comments" area. Thanks!

Tips, Games, Cheers

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:07:00 +0000

We've been busy this week, with Kelowna's Sunflicker tournament just around the corner. We added more mini-games and cheers. The FAQ and TIPS pages are more complete too. In fact, the Academy of Ultimate (tips, strategies, drills, and workouts) is starting to take shape.

Books & DVDs

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 07:04:00 +0000

We have updated our recommended list of Flying Disc-Related books and DVD's. We have partnered with Amazon.com (and Amazon.ca) to provide you with on-line sales links.

Game Tips for Ultimate

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 20:51:00 +0000

This new page in the Ultimate Academy offers tips on strategies and techniques.

Health and Fitness

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 21:01:00 +0000

This page discusses physical fitness, nutrition, health as it pertains to injuries and their treatment, sports psychology, and more. Numerous on-line articles are referenced.

Drills, drills and more drills

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 06:45:00 +0000

The drills page is essentially complete. Basic skills are covered. Under the Practices heading, we added a Drills To Improve Throwing And Catching section. In the future, we'll port many of the concepts directly to this site to reduce the number of "clicks" and improve site stability.

More Drills

info@realtopia.ca (Administrator) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 06:42:00 +0000

We added a sample practice program and more drills.

New Ultimate Drills Page

Yes, drills have arrived! We added the Sandahl drill, the reset drill, and another warm-up drill.

Housekeeping Items

Several projects are nearing completion. The home page's containers for blogs, news, and tournaments will pull data from other appropriate pages. This is alsmost operational. The jargon database (glossary) is nearly done, but depends on the capability of our hosting service. A flash add-on to the home page is underway. These elements will appear shortly. Unfortunely, that means that the forum may be delayed a bit more.

Photo Gallery

I've been experimenting with the latest LightBox script to create an album of UPA tournament photos. LightBox has a great appearance and is easy for visitors to use. The link to our gallery is on the SotG home page.
