The Santa Barbara Classic

B. Classic Finals Stains vs. Condors, another close call.

In the Second Annual Santa Barbara Ultimate Classic the Condors utilized their number one SNding to the utmost as they breezed through their pool, quarter, semi and final games to defend their Classic tide.

This tourney had 3 pools of seven teams set up, though Humboldt's unscheduled disappearance reduced the Blue pool to six.

The initial surprise of the tournament came as the Boulder Stains 'upset' the San Diego Spinoffs. The Spinoffs were missing five oftheir top players including Timba D'Urso. The Stains were psyched having lost to San Diego in the Reginals last fall blowing a sizable lead and losing a game that would have eliminated San Diego from the tourney.

The quarterfinal matchups had the Condors facing KAOS, the "San Francisco" Flying Circus meeting Chabot, the Spinoffs against a Santa Barbara Undertoad team and the Stains against Dark Star.

Santa Cruz KAOS earned their bid by crushing the Irvine Mudsharks in pool play but their subsequent loss to the Circus meants that they had to play the Condors whose only 'tough' games to that point had been against the Berkeley Spies and Dark Star. KAOS plays a great team game built up through the 4 plus years most of them have played together. Their strength was not enough as the Condors defense wore down the KAOS offense and when Dave Munoz went down with a serious knee ~ury the KAOS cause was lost The Stains easily and quickly disposed of the Eugene Dark Star.

Eugene had been aided throughout the tournament by the addition of Portland Funhogs Steve Yakaboutchy and Irwin. The Stains victory put them into their first West Coast semi, though they did make it to the semi's of the April Fools East tourney this year.

The CircusChabot game was easily the most exciting quarter final game. Chabot, perhaps the team that gets the most out of their pers~el, I~ by Chris "Rojo" Waters and the beautiful touch passing of Bnan Spnnger had taken a 16-12 lead in a game to 17. The Circus as is their recent pattern, "let" them get to game point and ~ stonning back with some unbelievable plays. Led by posterboy Peter Martin and Brian Fouty's diving (break his wrist) defense and Brian

O'Hea's goal line stand, the Circus stole a game they were slated to lose but at least they had a night to regroup.

The Undertoads, a Santa Barbara fun team were "in the bubble" offensively against the Spinoffs. The Toads, organized by ex-Condor Daniel Schradermeier were down 7-6 and 10-8, but reeled off9 of the last 10 goals to crush the Spinoffs, 17-11. The Toads had several Condors playing with them including CliffMarhoefer who was injured in an accident with Jersey Joe on Sunday. They also had Kent Mayell Angus the Kid, Jim Turner and a recendy reactivated "TK" from th~ Condors and several talented but unknown Santa Barbara players including Wally Duck.

TK, hobbled by a bad knee, at times, still displayed his awesome backhand At one point he threw a fifty yard bomb that curled out of bounds but sailed back in at the back of the endzone only to hit a spectator who was sitting on the field The Spinoffs graciously allowed the Toads to retake the play. Kent Mayell gave the crowd a demonstration of what a big man can do for a team, as he consistently oudeaped everyone on the Spinoff's time after time, for spectacular goals.

The semis matched Boulder against the Circus and the Toads met themselves as they played the Condors.

The Toad game was a matchup of the good hard playing straight up man to man defense that characterizes the Condors. When a turnover occurs, invariably someone immediately sbeaks long. The Condors are the very best at keeping the field clear. If the long cut is there it is thrown, if not the field is spread and a great middle game is played. The disc is quickly swung and thrown upfield deep or cross-oourted to a middle player cutting away from the disc. Every player is running and every player forces the defense to cover them at all times.

The Uodertoads grabbed a quick 4-21ead but The Condors took a 97 halftime lead and a subsequent Tom Lewis to Kaey Nakae bomb started the Condors on a rampage. Though former Condor Curtis Weeks kept them close the Toads faded away and SB was in the finals â&#x20AC;˘ agam.

The UPA&You

by John Schutkeker and Steve Mooney Check here if you don't feel like reading this D. This winter and spring we created and distributed a questionnaire that would help the UPA gauge its effectiveness in many ways. Of the 250, four page, comprehensive questionnaires distributed nationwide, 80 were returned, almost all were from the Northeast and Mid Atlantic.

The first part deals primarily with personal facts. Are you a dues paying member?(77% yes). What is the percentage of UPA members on your team ( 18 answered 0-5% and more than 65% replied that less than half of their teammates were members). Unfortunately, this does not surprise me and yet we must push and encourage each other to join.

The second page of the questionnaire listed sixteen different UPA functions (Nationals, Maintain Rules, Sponsorship ...) and asked respondents to rank ( 1-5) and rate (good, adequate, bad) these in order of importance then add comments. The following table is a statistical interpretation of the results (see enclosed table).

The information from this table is important to us, the UPA officers because it clearly gauges your perception of our strengths and weaknesses. The Nationals top the list while merchandising sits at the bottom. It is our wish to continue promoting the nationals (.61 see table) while also encouraging new teams to form and play (-.47 ). The promotion of Ultimate at schools and colleges will be an important UPA function. It surprises us that merchandising (.16) brought up the rear. Selling merchandise is traditionally the way disc players keep their activities in the black while other, more established, professional sports depend on ticket sales and sponsorship. Is it the respondents' feelings that we should rely more heavily on merchandising? Another sore spot is our lack of communication with teams (-.26). Regional coordinators should have more freedom and money for regional newsletters while the national officers account for the distribution of that money. likewise, outside promotion (-.44), achieved in part by sending press releases to various news and sports media, nNds to be improved. But where will the person power come from? The coordinators should coordinate and the paperwork must fall on other volunteers.

Overall, the UPA does its job slightly better than average ( +.1 0).

This reminds me of school report cards. "Dear Student Parent Your son is smart and quick yet he fails to exert himself to his full potential.

His attention wanders and once, without provocation, he jumped over Sally Stromberg's table exclaiming 'Dive factor.' Grade B-." We must also note some important comments which followed the rank and ranldng of these functions: Newsletter: less elitism and more sectional coverage. Diversity.

More frequent and fewer mai1ing screw-ups.

"I look at the pictures."

Sponaonhlp: Maintain solid ethics in choosing; don't sell out; commissioned individuals selling the sport.

Captain'a Meedq: More orderly; verbal/telephone encouragement to attend.

Nado....a: Should showcase the sport; give each region a chance to host; "It works."

Rule Malntenâ&#x20AC;˘nee: Keep everyone playing with the same rules.

Member Uata: Make available and more accurate.

Communication: Players fail to understand the UPA's role.

Other Tournâ&#x20AC;˘menta: More fun tourneys; new teams.

Expand Women's Ulty:Assured field space; support from men; women volunteers as officers.

Fun~ralalna: "What??!!"; Theft: "from my grandmother;" "loosen wnst, plunge hand deep into pocket and attempt to pull out cash;" Sleeze.

Prize Money: "Poor incentive but trophies are nice;" Leads to win at all costs.

"Keep the UPA In tune with the fut-pacecl prowth of the aport."

The last section of the questionnaire asked for written answers to essay questions. What should UPA goals be? How can increased membership be achieved? How can the UPA raise money? How can tbe UPA encourage organization enthusiasm? What are UPA 1espoosibilities to its membership? What are member responsibilities to the UPA? Instead of listing answers to these questions, we have chosen to write our own inte1pretive essay which will include our feedback to the res~nts'~nu.

The March meeting of the UPA began with a self-analysis session: What are the UPA's goals? One clown answered: 40 x 25 yards.

Actually, many people underlined communication, promotion and organization as keys to UPA success. We must add the word responsibility to these first three fundmentals. We all play the game for various reasons but to have fun must be considered number one.

Ultimate provides us with a flexible, self-fulfilling game to play with our friends. Our goal as players is then to maintain this spirit at all costs. No refs, no coaches (yet), no hassles (most of the time),just fun.

What an ideal. "The sport has a great amount of fr()Cdom and infonnality implicit in the rules. Primary among these is the spirit of sportsmanship ...If you have ever played a pick-up game with close friends, then you have an understanding of the spirit d the game. It is this spirit of comraderie which separates Ultimate from beiDa just another sport." (lrv Kalb) When you take the field, you accept the responsibilities of the sport just as when the UPA acc.epts your annual dues. It understands its responsibilities to Ultimate and the players.

PLAYER (Activity (Active Member) The simple diagram illustrates the UPA's position as a vehicle for Ultimate to run smoothly while always looking to attract more players and maintain good sportsmanship. The UPA's responsibility is to help everyone realize their potential as players by the effective communication, organization and promotion of Ultimate.

Just as the UPA has these goals and responsibilities, ones that, judging from the questionnaire, we barely fulfill, the player must also live up to some expocations. A player is responsible to her/himself, her/his team, and the game of Ultimate. Many people listed these responsibilities as upholding the rules and spirit of the game (even no cursing on field!), encouraging others to play, paying team and UPA dues and having fun. How many of us have better than a B- on this grade? A person must be both an active player and an active member if the UPA is to gain the resources necessary to tackle the goals underlined above.

Specifically, players clammer for: more teams and more games; the promotion of Ultimate in the media; slick, punctual newsletters filled with diverse news and great photos; Olyttlpics!; teaching in high schools and youth organizations; and effective inter-organizational communication lines. These are the goals that you have outlined for Ultimate players and its Association. Ifwe, the coordinating committee, try to implement some of these goals over the next three years (Three year plan), will you support us with your dues money and some of your time! The newsletters can use more articles from non-elitist factions, sectional tournaments, and women's activities ... The UPA membership percentage must be boosted. Volunteers for school clinics and demos are called for. Someone has to write press releases for local tournaments and summer leagues to attract both spectators and new players. The coordinating committee and sectional coordinators total just 25 people. That's not enough! Each issue lists our names and addresses. Come to us and we will have ways to get things going for you and your team.

How can the UPA encourage this organizational enthusiasm?

Respondents suggested that the UPA make itself more visible and readily available with greater presence at local tournaments. Maybe Continued on page 16 GAME

y Good Ultimate Teams Are Good Part II

by Jerry Boswell (Copyright 1984, Gerald F. Boswell) INTRODUCI'ION Tne practice and training habits ofthe top men's and women's ultimate teams in the country during the 1982 season are discussed in Part II. By

gaining insight into these aspects of the sport, many new and young teams may be able to reach their full potential more quickly.

In addition to practice and conditioning programs, the survey also asked for diagrams ofthe most widely used drills by each team. Several interesting and valuable drills were returned in the surveys, but they are not shown here due to spatial limitations. Seven of the 12 teams who responded used drills at most practices, and Steve Mooney of the Rude Boys maintains that it would be difficult for a team to win a national championship without sprints and drills in their workout schedule.

The responses to many of the questions in Part ll have been treated differently than those in Part I. Rather than summarizing all of the team's responses to a particular question, a number of responses are discussed one team at a time. 1be information will be more useful and meaningful to the reader when approached in this manner. Some teams gave responses that were more complete than others, which accounts for the variation in the amount of detail from team to team.

PRACI'ICE The structure of a team's practice sessions are of great importance in determining how well they perform during the competitive season. As the season progresses however, teams shift their emphasis when they practice in order to "fine tune" their performance. For this reason, each question in the survey pertaining to team practices was divided into three periods: (I-S), in-season or tournament season; (P-S), postseason or the play-offs; and (0-S), off-season.

During the 0-S, BLU and MSU usually practiced between one and two hours, whereas UVa. and Zulu played occasionally, if at all. I-S practices normally lasted from one and one half to two and one half hours, although Zulu practiced for three hours. All of the women's teams increased the length of their practices during the P-S. BLU and MSU practiced from two and two and one half hours, UVa. for three hours, and Zulu for four hours. Five of the eight men's teams practiced year around. The length of their practices ranged from one to three hours in the 0-S, two to three hours during the I-S, and between one and three hours during the P-S. Where Glassboro increased the length of their P-S practices to three hours, the Condors and Windy City decreased their practice length to one or two hours.

After a four month rest from competition, Zulu would try to practice three times per week when preparing for the upcoming season. The other women's teams practiced one or two times per week. MSU and Zulu practiced five times per week during the 1-S, and UVa. practiced two times. BLU practiced at least four times per week in the summer months and three times during the remainder of the I-S. Zulu and MSU practiced seven times per week in the P-S, UVa. increatred to three times, and BLU decreased to only two times per week. Of the men~s teams who practiced during the 0-S, most would practice two times per week. The Rude Boys practiced twice per week during the I-S, but most of the other teams practiced at least three or four times. Windy City and the Condors sometimes practiced as many as five times per week, with games on the weekends. Glassboro practiced six times per week in the P-S, but most teams increawi their practices from three to five times per week. The Condors and Windy City decreased their number of practices to two or three per week in the P-S. Of the 12 teams, nine increased the intensity of their practices in preparation for the P-S. Windy City and the Condors decreased their 6

intensity during P-S practices, and St. Louis didn't change their intensity at all. St. Louis practiced with all-out effort during both the IS and P-S. The degree of organization and structure for each practice session corresponded with the intensity of play.

Most of the women's teams frequendy practiced during the I-S and P-S with fewer than 14 players, and the men's teams usually practiced with 15 to 20 players. The Rude Boys had between 12 and 17-players during the I-S, the Condors had 30, and Windy City had anywhere from 16 to 30 players. During the P-S the Fnnhogs practiced with 14 to 16 players, which was restricted to teammembers only. Windy City practiced with as many as 30 players in the P-S, and the Condors with nearly 50.

There were no teams who responded to the survey who had a coach to lead team practices. 1be women's teams usually had a team captain who worked cooperatively with the players. Dallas and the Rude Boys used a team captain, whereas most of the other men's teams directed their practices cooperatively. To allow for diversity, the Hostages had different players become team leaders for each practice, and St. Louis had selected players take charge when they worked on different areas of emphasis.

In preparation for each practice, the women's teams 路usually stretched, talked strategy, and played catch to warm-up. Zulu and BLU would do warm-up running as a part of their practices, and MSU and BLU also did drills. MSU was the only women's team that did running for conditioning at their practices, although Zulu had players that did sprints on their own when preparing for tournaments.

Five of the eight men's teams did drills at practice and nearly all of the players stretched and played catch to warm-up. About halfofthe men's teams discussed strategy and planning, but only two teams did warmup running. There were three men's teams that did running for conditioning during the I-S, and Glassboro did extra running during the P-S. St. Louis simply scrimmaged without breaks and then held a team discussion afterwards.

In an effort to detennine how the top teams prepared for tournaments, they were asked to briefly describe a typical team practice one week beforehand. The response from each team captain is given here.

1. liz Nickel (Zulu)-"Many, but not all will run a mile before practice. We then stretch and pick teams. We play for an hour or so, then relax and discuss the week's plan. Then some of us (usually the same people who ran before) run sprints and do calisthenics afterwards."

2. Kelly Green (MSU)--Based on Kelly's response to other questions in the survey, it is assumed that MSU had a team discussion, stretched, threw the disc to warm-up, scrimmaged, and did drills. They also ran a few windsprints and jogged on occasion.

3. Tammi Disher (UVa.)--"Monday: hard running, intense play, strategy talk. Wednesday: lighter workout, intense play, strategy, logistics discussion."

4. Suzanne Fields (BLU)--"First half hour: stretching and strategy /planning. Next hour: scrimmage. Next half hour: drills. Next ten to 15 minutes: stretching, then more strategy and planning."

S. Steve Mooney (Rude Boys)--"First 45 minutes: play catch to warm-up, discuss strategy, throwing drill, conditioning drill, work on certain plays. Next hour: play Ultimate. Last half hour: sprints."

6. Tom Heimann (St. Louis)--"Scrimmage; special situation practice (goal line sag, work against the zone, etc.); discussion."

7. David Barkan (Hostages)--"Same as any other. We have tournaments every weekend in the fall. It is very much a continuous psyche, building to and climaxing at regionals (hopefully!)."

8. John Connelly (Windy City)-"Practice before is casual to avoid iJUury. A week before we wouldjust play good hard Ultimate and do sprints afterwards.''

9. Steve Hagan (Dallas)--"Three weeks prior-intense. Two weeks prlor-very intense. One week prior-intense Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; go easy Thursday; no practice on Friday."

10. Louis Marano (Glassboro)--" From 3: 1S to 3:30-stretching, throwing, and warm-up. From 3:30 to 6:00-practice (our practice is made up entirely of playing Utimate seven on seven with subs. The last two men back to the line after goals sit out and rest" 11 . Gregory F 1\ier (Portland)-"Try to emphasize key points that we will use in the tourney; either practice as usual or scrimmage."

12. Tom Kennedy (Santa Barbara)-"Usually no different than usual."

While scrimmaging in preparation for tournaments, all of the teams usually divided their teams into two even practice teams. Sometimes Glassboro, St Louis, and UVa. would pit their first string against their second string. Windy City would occasionally set up a special team to work on a particular aspect of play.

When asked about changes that could be made to improve practices, three teams said that their practices were fme as they were. Other responses were: more time spent on fundamentals and drills; make sprints, drills, and nmning required; get a coach; more situation studies; more fun and less repetition; and less smoking.

RUNNING AND CONDmONING One of the most important assets a team must possess in order to play ultimate competitively is to be in excellent shape. A briefdescription of each team's emphasis on conditioning and running is discussed here. In addition, each team's spokesperson expressed their concept of what would constitute the " ideal" conditioning program for ultimate.

1. liz Nickel (Zulu)-On our own at practice we do some sprints for about 1S to 30 minutes with approximately one minute rest in between. We do this five times per week. The "ideal" running program to get into shape for ultimate would be to ( 1) play ultimate, (2) run one mile before practice, (3) set of five sprints, increasing when desired.

2. Kelly Green (MSU)-We play ultimate hard every day and usually play other teams on weekends. We do windsprints after practice when gearing for important tournaments (four to ten windsprints the length of the field) and some · · The "ideal" conditioning program would consist of ( 1) sprints, (2) shuttle runs, ( 3) jogging for stamina, (4) a sprint-jog-sprint-jog program.

3. Tami Disher (UVa.)--We play ultimate two days per week and sometimes on weekends. Most players do other activities on the off days. The "ideal" conditioning program would consist of ( 1) running two to five miles (two times per week), plus throwing the disc, (2) short circuit sprints (three times per week), plus playing ultimate.

4. Sunnne Fields (BLU)-About SO percent of our players do a schedule of interval speed work and endurance runs for peaking. We also do some running on our own, biking, and swimming. The "ideal" conditioning program would consist of ( 1) three to five mile runs (three times per week), (2) one or two interval workouts per week.

S. Steve Mooney (Rude Boys)--We all participate in a sprint workout The workouts we do are ( 1) sprint for SO yards and jog back (five times), (2) 80 yard hill climb, running up and jogging back (five times), (3) line sprints, where we sprint down and jog back, increasing the distance of our sprint each time (five times), (4) 100 yard sprints at our own pace (five times). The "ideal" conditioning program consists of ( 1) the aforementioned workout on Tuesday and Thursday, plus (2) a two to five mile hard run on Monday and Wednesday, (3) a day off on Friday, and (4) six games on Saturday and Sunday.

6. Tom Heimann (St. Louis)-We all practice during the season four times per week for two to three hours. We play with all out effort and man to man defense, and we usually don't take breaks. Also, some individuals run three to five miles every other day, and some do sprints

on off days. The "ideal" conditioning program consists of ( 1) playing ultimate, (2) some distance running (three miles), (3) some intervals, (4) running stairs, (S) playing sports such as soccer, basketball, racquetball'.

7. David Barten (Hostages)--Each person is responsible to stay in great shape on their own. Sometimes we sprint, do laps at 3/4 speed, or do fartleck training for 4S minutes to an hour (two to three times per week). We also play goa)timate. The "ideal" conditioning program consists of( 1) sprinting three times per week, (2) nmning roughly three to four miles on off days, increasing speed and times.

8. John Connelly (Windy City)-ln preparing for tournaments, about ten of our players have a conditioning program which consists of ( 1) warm-up with light running, (2) play ultimate for two to three hours with sit-ups or push-ups between points, (3) short rest, (4) 120 yard sprints or ladder sprints (adding ten yards each time) with two minutes of rest between sprints, (S) one to two mile run at your own pace. The "ideal" conditioning program oc«tsists of spood and endtJ~ training 9. Steve Hagan (Sky Pilots)--For tourney preparation we play five times per week with all out effort Sometimes we do 40 and 80 yard sprints in four groups of four. We also run three miles, not jog it. Tbe "ideal" conditioning program would include ( 1) 40 and 80 yard sprints, and (2) reaction drill, where one person directs others nmning in place to go left, right, front or back.

10. Louis Marano (Glassboro)-During the season we only practice from 3:30 to 6:00p.m. Monday through Friday, with Friday being fun and casual. For nationals we all ran two and one half miles after practice at our own pace. Times ranged from 18 to 2S minutes, and we did this for three weeks. The "ideal" conditioning program would consist d ( 1) one and two mile all out runs, and (2) line sprints.

11 . Greg F~er (Portland)-We have no set format, but everyone exercises on their own. We play other sports on the side and sometin aes we get together and run. It is each player's responsibility to be in ehape for the season. The "ideal" conditioning program would consist of( 1) a combination of sprints and distance nmning, and (2) cutting and pattern drills.

12. Tom Kennedy (Santa Barbara)-We lift Nautilus or Universal weights and play basketball or ultimate regularly. The "ideal" conditioning program would consist of ( 1) a combination of speed and endurance training, and (2) weight training.

Since there is such a wide variety d running intensities when playing ultimate, there has been some question as to whether ultimate demands a greater emphasis on speed or endurance. When compared to other sports such as football, soccer, and cross-country skiing, two of the women's teams felt that the emphasis was equal, while the other two teams stated that endurance was of greater importance. Four of the men's teams responded that endurance and speed were of equal importance, two teams said that speed was more important if there were enough subs, one teams favored an emphasis on endurance, and one team felt that speed was much more important.

Weight training among ultimate teams appears to be of little importance. Only Zulu, St Louis, Windy City, Portland, and Santa Barbara had five or more players who worked out with weights, and only Tom Kennedy felt that weight training should be a part of the "ideal" conditioning program. Most of these players trained with weights during the in-season and post-season, and they all lifted on an individual basis rather than together as a team. There were no teams who had a strength trainer or an established weight training program for their players.

CONCLUSION

•

There appears to be a tremendous variety of practice formats that were used by these 12 teams. Most teams would increase their frequency of practices when preparing for tournament or post-season play, although some would hold fewer practices per week than usual.

This also seems to be the case as far as practice intensity and duration are concerned. Some teams tried to "peak" in performance by worldhg Continued on p age 14 7

The Spinsters turned it over and Michigan State worked it close to the end zone and attempted to win on a pass to Julia Griffin. She dove and the disc fell inches from her outstretched arm, but she instantly recovered with a foot block. The Fisheads then scored their fifth straight goal and handed the Spinsters another hard fought second

place finish.

The men's quarterfinals provided a lot of drama, as teams with a winter's worth of frustrations played their rivals. Static played the Gang in a rematch of last year's regional final which the Gang won.

Again, the Gang won. At 3-3 Static had a three goal melt-down. At 6-3 the teams resumed trading goals. The Gang won 11-8. In another game, the Hostages played Kaboom, the team that kept the Hostages from going to the Nationals. To say it was evenly matched is an understatement like last fall, Kaboom won; this time the score was 8â&#x20AC;˘ 7. In the other bracket, the Stains committed only two turnovers while " . beating the Whiners 11-7, and the Coffee Achievers outplayed Flying Tony Z. hangs a forehand against Void at April Fools Circus, also winning 11-7.

East All four teams in the semis were evenly matched. Kaboom and the pool consider this: neither the Gang nor the Whiners made it past the quarterfinals.

Gang played a game that was close the whole way, Kaboom winning As was the case last year, both finalists came from the same pool, 12-10. The Gang liked to.iok~that they're oldandfatandhave to play a and, like last year, one of those teams had to qualify from Friday. The teams this year were Kaboom and the Coffee , ~hievers (U.Mass).

The Coffee Achievers beat Kaboom 9-8 for the first spot.

On to the quarterfinals, which turned out to be predictable in that each d the pool winners won their crossover game. The Fisheads beat U. Va 11-2J Discontents over Traffic 9-4and the Spinsters beat the Zephyrs 11-3. Andromeda and the Flying Nuns, however, battled to an 8-7 margin before it got too dark to play. They agreed to play the next morning in a game to 5 which Andromeda won 5-4.

In the semis, the Discontents surprised a slow-starting Fishead team by jumping out to an early 4-2 lead. Many were surprised to see this young upstate N.Y. team advance so far. Only three dtheir players have more than two years experience, but the Discontents have made up for their lack ofdepth by relying on their highly successful, and quite unique 2-1-1-2-1 zone. They eventnaUy lost to the Fishes 7-5. In the other semifinals, Andromeda was held scoreless in the first half by the Spinsters. Midway through the second half Andromeda made a run of it, but lost 11-6.

The finals were held in McLean High School stadium in suburban Vuginia. The players were treated to a fine playing field, over 1,000 spectators, concessions, and an overall excellent atmosphere. In the women's finals, at 2-2, the Spinsters scored three to go up 5-2, and then 7-5 at the half. At 9-6, a cap of 11 was put on the ga~M; the Fisheads got tough and scored two to make it 9-8. Jill Kobylarz then caught the tying goal from Fishie Ann Cohan. Last year, after falling behind 10-7 in the UPA National Final against the Spinsters, the Fisheads won 11-10.

This year's Fisheads were supposed to be weaker because Kelly Green Living up to their name the Stains muddle up through had left. At 9-9 Laura Orlando, who missed the Nationals with a 1mee the competition to the semis injury. made a soectacular diving catch to give the Fishies a 10-9 lead

zone; but their zone is excellent, and only by disciplined patience and tough man-to-man defense could Kaboom beat them. The Coffee Achievers beat the Stains 15-13. The U .Mass team had been up 8-7 at half, then stretched their lead to 13-9 before the Stains fought back and closed to within one at 14-13.

In the finals Kaboom took an early 5-1lead it never relinquished, as they beat the Coffee Achievers, who were playing in their eleventh game ofthe tournament, 15-12. Both teams played a relentless man-toman defense, but both offenses displayed a bit offatigue (to be expected this early in the season).

Overall, the competition was fairly even, and very exciting because so many teams got to play so many others from outside their regionsmore so than in any other tournament In total, eighteen men,s and women's teams came from outside the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions to help celebrate our seven years of Foolishness.

Conference Club

by Eric Wooten

1be establisb""~nt of a UPA sanctioned national collegiate championship series was; l nect~ssary and timely addition to the development of competitive Ultrmate f)lay. It has become increasingly obvious over the last couple of Y' !&rS that college teams, on the whole, are no longer competitive with club teams.

The mAJority of established Spring tournaments are geared more toward the club teams, with national draw not unoommon. Many college teams, except the very serious, don't attend these tournaments.

There is clearly a need for college oriented play and the UPA should be applauded for their efforts toward this end.

Using the regions currendy recognized by the UPA for the collegiate cham1rionship series may be the easiest way to orpnize from an administrative standpoint, but it is not necessarily the easiest way to compete from the college team's perspective. The priorities c1 the college team are different fnxn those of the average club team. :Monetary and travel considerations are much more heavily weighed by the college player than by his/her club counterpart. The regions recognized by the UPA are simply too large for the college te•m.

It was with these considerations in mind, along with the over-riding desire to play Ultimate, that a number of college teams in the Carolina region were prompted to form a conference promoting inter-collegiate play. The South Atlantic Ultimate Conference was initially planned with the Atlantic Coast Conference in mind but a number c1 other schools in the ACC corridor expressed interest in joinina and were gladly welcomed.

Due to the fact that the conference was just beina fot ••'«< as the Spring season began and many teams had already made their plans, the conference wasn't the number one priority ofthe teams this Spring. The conference schedule was therefore pieced tosetber by matches involving

Madison Spring Blowout Tournament Results (April 28·29)

conference teams at a variety of existina tournaments, as well as tournaments set up specifically for the conference (Clemson March 31-April 1 andRaleighApril14-15). Thehope(andindicatioo)isthat the Sprina of 1985 will see more priority scbednlina c1 conference games. Eiabt teams participated in SAUC play this Sprina and four or five more teams may join in '85.

A full conference schedule was not played due to the reasons explained above, but a number of conference games were played. The results from the 1984 SAUC season are as follows: SAUC OVERALL Clemson 3-0 3-0 N.C. State 5-1 3-0 U.Va. 2-1 3-3 East Carolina U. 3-5 4-8 Appalachian State U. 2-4 2-8 Wake Forest U. 1-2 1-4 Duke u.

0-4 0-5 U.So. Carolina 0-2 0-2 limited squad played with Duke at Clemson.

It is hoped that UNC, Va. Tech, U. Ga., and Ga. Tech will participate in the 1985 season as well as the University ofMaryland, if they can field a team.

Perhaps if a number of other conferences are formed around the country on a more realistic geographic basis, the UPA might recognize these conferences and award berths to regional and/or national play~s based on conference play in the future.

College Ultimate is destined to become a varsity sport at universities nationwide and inter-<X>Ilegiate conference play is a necessary first step in gainina the attention, interest and respect of the varsity sports oonamunity. University athletic councils will be more inclined to give serious consideration to the PJOSJ»«.~ of varsity Ultimate if their club sports teams can demonstrate efficient, co111petitive, and structured conference play.

THE FIRST NAME IN FLYING DISCS.

''Since 1948 '' '3

Ultimate First Aid

by Gil Wenovsky, M.D. First Aid Having played Ultimate now for nine years, I have finally come to the · realization that I would not make it into the UPA Newsletter on talent

alone. Similarly, having served as an intern in a University hospital for just one year, publication in a nugor medical journal is certainly a long way off. Together these two'factors have stimulated this article, (as well as some prodding from Brian Murphy and Andy Borinstein).

The field ofsports medicine has grown from physician on the football team to encompass such sub-specialties as cyclists and runners. Tbe time has come to recognize the common injuries on the Ultimate field, leam the best way to treat them using common sense first aid and when further diqnosis or treatment might be necessary at a hospital.

A first aid kit can be both invaluable and inexpensive. If only one item had to be included, it would have to be an ice bag or "instant ice," (those chemical combinatioos which when broken cause a very cold substance to be fonocd). Also, a complete kit should have clean gauze pads, adhesive tape, antiseptic spray, hydrogen peroxide, a scissors and an ace bandage or two. (cost - S10-$1 S.) STRAINS (stretched ligaments) and SPRAINS (torn ligaments) Tbe most common injury that I have seen in Ultimate has been the sprained ankle. Most frequently it is caused by a player going up for the disc in a crowd, coming down with someone on top « them.

Additionally, a poorly plac«l rut in the field when hit at full speed can cause a bad sprain.

For treatment, remember, the word I.C.E.-I, for Ice; C, for Compression; and E, for Elevation. An ice bag should be applied as soon as possible; wrapped tightly with an ace bandage or bandana and the leg should be elevated above the level of the heart. Tbe complicatioos and length of recovery are closely related to both the amount of swelling as well as the extent of the injury. If swelling can be reduced, recovery is often faster and less painful.

Remember, although the ankle may feel better later that evening, stay offit and keep it elevated. That one night's rest may mean getting back on the field earlier.

Why Ultimate Teams are Good harder and becoming more serious and regimented. Others would slack off and make their practices more infonnal. It may be difficult for teams to design a season long practice fm•••at that is consistent since there is such a variation in the length of a team's off-season and in-season, scheduHng of tournaments during the in-season is irregular, and individual team preferences are so diverse.

The only activities that were common in nearly every team's practice program were stretching, playing catch to w~up, and playing ultimate. Drills and special situation practice were not employed by many teams even though they were considered to be important. In fact, most team spokespersons felt that more time should be spent on supplimentary activities in addition to scrimmages.

The men's teams usually had enough players at practice to make two full scrimmage teams, but many times the women had to scrimmage with smaller teams. Players may adapt to a game situation more readily when they have been scrimmaging with full teams because of the similarity between the two situations.

Most ofthe team practices were run cooperatively among the players in coordination with a team captain. There were only two teams who had a player coach or team captain take charge during practice. Many 14

A short word about cleats-there is always confusion about leaving the shoe on or taking it off or any combination of the two. The shoe should be left on until ice is available-a tight shoe provides compression. However, as swelling increases, the foot will become exquisitely tender, and removal d the shoe increasingly difficult.

Therefore, I reconimend getting ice on the ankle immediately and removing the shoe as soon as possible after that.

Marked swelling, exbeme pain or a "pop" heard at the time of the injury all require an X-ray. When in doubt, get an X-ray.

Moving up from the feet, knee sprains, twists, or iqjury resulting from direct trauma to the knee generally will require advice from an orthopaedist. Any swelling, inability to bear weight or exbeme pain should be evaluated. Again, I.C.E. as a first treatment is esSential to recovery. The knee is a complex and fragile joint and injury here should not be taken lightly. Taping or bandaging a knee is ineffective. H you have a knee injury a proper brace may be required.

IDP POINTERS (the only drawback eX going horizontal!)

Although these are painful, they are generally not serious injuries.

They can tum an interesting variety of colors too, reflecting a small amount «blood under the skin. Ice applied to the area can reduce pain and swelling and one can usually be back in for the next throw off!

SHOULDERS (separations, dislocations, fractures) The weakest part of the shoulder joint is the point on the front of the chest, just below the collarbone right above the annpit. This is the most likely spot for the joint to become dislocated, usually from landing directly on the shoulder after leaping for a floater. ~quick w~Y. to assess the seriousness of the injury is to look for swelling at the JOmt, compare shoulders and to test the range of motion. The shoulder is a ball-socket type joint. A separation occurs when the head of the humerus (upper arm) becomes separated from its not mal relationship with the collarbone. The distance of this separation determines the degtee of injury. H the top of the humerus comes co~etely ~ the protective muscle layers on the chest wall, this results m a dislocation. These will frequently pop back spontaneously, but occasionally will remain dislocated. An obvious "bump" that shouldn,t be there, and/or extreme range of motion limitation will clue you into a dislocation. continued top next p age

teams may prefer to not have a specific leader for their practices and are content to share the responsibilities of leadership. Another possibility could be that the sport of ultimate is too young at this point to have an older generation of knowledgable and proven players to assume the leadership roles.

Nearly all ofthe teams felt that conditioning for speed and endurance were essential, but there was little agteement as to what specific activities would be the most valuable. Weight training appeared to be a low priority activity for most of the teams, but it may grow in popularity as teams look for new ways to improve or gain an edge over other teams. The conditioning programs for all of these teams consisted of a combination of any or all of the following activities: ( 1) Scrimmaging

(2) Extracurricular athletic activities (3) Speed work (interval training, sprints, etc.)

(4) Endurance training (5) Agility drills (shuttle runs, etc.)

(6) Game and skill related drills (7) Weight training There does not appear to be a clear-cut program that was used by any team which could be considered "the best." Specific workouts can be developed for the sport of ultimate only when more physiological data is applied to the existing programs.

Ice is again the first line oftreatment, but in addition, ~zation with a bandana or make-shift sling is important All dialocations or separations wbere full range of motion is very painful should be seen in a hospital and X-rayed that day. The longer you wait, the more painful it will be when the orthopaedist pops the joint back in place. Marked swelling and tenderness over the shoulderbone (clavicle) can indicate a fracture. Ice should be applied and an X-ray taken.

HEAD TRAUMA In any case of head trauma where there is loss of consciousness, the player should go immediately to the nearest hospital for evaluation.

This type of injury is, fortunately rare. Most head trauma is the result of a well-placed backhand follow through to the nose or a collision of heads when two players dive for a low throw. N01e bleeds should have ice applied with pressure to the bridge ofthe nose. Also, because some of the blood supply to the nose goes through the ,,~r lip, finn pressure should be applied to the upper lip for approximately five minutes. If your nose has a new bump or if breathing is difficult, have it X -rayed within 24 hours to be sure there is no fracture. Any eye trauma with bleeding or impaired vision should be evaluated immediately at a hospital. Broken or chipped teeth should be saved and taken to the dentist. This will save costly renlacements.

SCRAPES/ CUTS Routine "raspberries'' from dives should be cleaned and dirt removed as soon as possible. Qeansing with soap and water using a scrubbing motion sufficiently hard to remove particles of dirt, followed by a hydrogen peroxide rinse is frequently all that is needed. Spraying with Bactine or similar antiseptic is also helpful. Deeper cuts may require stitching. The important thing is .to clean the wound on the field as well as possible. Bleeding is usually easily controlled by direct pressure.

Uncontrollable bleeding should be evaluated at a hospital emergency room. After cleansing, be sure to apply clean gauze to the cut or scrape.

The rain came Saturday bringing with it must situations for Chabot and UMass, both teams needed to win their head to head match and they also had to win their remaining game to reach the semis. Chabot grabbed a 13-9 lead early on into the second half only to see UMass surge ahead 14-13. Points were traded and as the a•rne went into OT, players from other games gathered to see the conclusion. Both teams had the disc to score the game winner but failed. FiMily UMass went up 19-18 on an upwind goal on the subs~quent throw offUMass busted downfield and got a diving block on the goalline and scored the fmal goal and UMass was in the driver's seal The results ofthe Pool B's play left some surprised as Stanford easily swept through the pool and UPenn took second. UPenn did struggle with Ohio who ran hard. However UPenn's experience was too much for the boys from the midwest.

UMass insured their fate by beating Texas to move into the semi's.

Chabot was locked in another see saw battle this time with Glassboro.

The boys front Zoo disc joined to root for the 'boro in hopes ofinspiring their Eastern compatriots. Emotions teeter-tottered with each turnover and s~sequent goal. Living on the backs of Bones, Brat and Toby Hankms the 'boro was able to eek out a 18-16 victory over Brian Springer and company.

The semis had Mid-Atlantic powerhouses UPenn meeting the 'boro and UMass facing Stanford, Stanford's precision offense dissected UMass' sleeping defense. Stanford won 18-14 but the score was much closer than the game.

regional loss to UPenn however they found themselves down 15-14.

They got serious and tightened their zone and UPenn failed to score the ·rest of the game losing 18-1S. The Flnai1-Staaford n. Glulboro The classic matchup a public school vs. a "big bucks" private school, it turned into a scoring duel with Rick Geier of Stanford against the 1>oro's Mike Butler. lbese two receivers caught over two thirds of the goals thrown. As Geier set up camp in the endzones, Brett Foy, Brian Fouty and Tom Fynk.houser utilized their patient throwing skills to dissect the 'boro' s zone, Stanford often used 40 or more passes to score. The game was close throughout, as no one could get more than a three goal load. The game was deadlocked at 18's when Stanford pushed in a go ahead goal, a critical 'boro mistake led to another goal and a subsequent pass to Toby was blocked by Vince who then caught the winner to give Stanford their first Collegiate Championship.

The tournament provided a lot ofunrecognized teams an opportunity to play. Kansas, Ohio AND Texas deserve mention and respect for their enthusiasm and ability. Chabot and UPenn returned home disappointed, pretournament favorite Who Disc failed to live up to their expectations.

Glassboro claiming to have poor parents in pregame cheers proved decisively rich in spirit and talent though a little short on depth.

For Stanford a championship well deserved, a precision offense with tight D made them unstoppable. Most club teams would be fortunate to be able to execute an offense with such efficiency.

Sunyari BIA Ghana, West Africa 5th April 1984 While sitting here in my police cruiser at 4 a.m. on Dec. 2, 1983, my 25th birthday, on my beat in the alleged toughest section of Durham, North Carolina, my Remington 870, 12 gauge shotgun my only passenger, I started to reminisce back to happier, carefree, 70 degnx: Spring days on the campus of Glassboro State College, the Ultimate Frisbee Capital of the Northeast, located between Atlantic City, N.J. and Philadelphia, PA I remember sitting around a keg of beer after a 2 hour workout, which we did 4 to 5 days a week, listening to Neil Young and discussing what the "real world" would be like. Well, I suppose most of us have been forced into this phenomenon now, and we have become separated. The U.P.A is the only channel I have to say Hello to all my friends from the World Champion (1979-80) Glassboro UJtimate Frisbee Team and to say thank-you to all the great Ultimate people around the country who I have met and played against To my friends from Glassboro Ultimate, I now have the tide of Public Safety Officer for the city of Durham, North Carolina. Instead

of seeking ways to prevent the cork-screw pass from beating our great zone defense, I

now respond to subject shot; man with knife; disturbance with a gun; and fire calls at all hours. You see, not only am I a cop, get this Timba, Brat, and the boys from Wildwood, N.J., I'm a fireman too. As a matter of fact, just a couple of days ago I was treated for smoke inhalation and two officers went to Duke Hospital all to save an empty ghetto house that looked like it was worth about $500.00 They teach us at the Training Academy to save lives and protect property.

We risk our lives to save wood, and decayed wood at that It just doesn't make sense. This "real world" is a drag.

Frankie Bono would pledge money if Kevvo "" ...._ Walsh, who loved to take his clothes off anyway, did a handstand in the buffon the big grand stand stage where the Radio Program t was stationed. Frankie would surely have to pay, Kevvo couldn't wait We usually raised about ten thousand dollars.

For Tom Urban, three years later in the . "real world", Christmas time in East Durham means an increase in armed robberies and overall crime in the already " I'm told", highest crime rate per capita city in North Carolina. I'm told crime always increases around the holidays. I never knew that.

Remember Glassboro Frisbee Friends, when we would be so happy to get the new U.P .A magazine or the school newspaper when the World Champion Glassboro Frisbee Team was featured, especially you C.

In the East, the CROWN ROYAL sponsorship efforts were looked at positively despite the poor fit of Ultimate and quality booze. "Money comes from companies who recognize determination and hustle." I guess that means more extensions. Ultimate and the UPA must appear more credible to attract new members and big time sponsors. There you have it. We've got to hustle to get your support and you've got to be determined to make the sport grow.

el984 Bart ~v1errill fourth consecutive year , the Santa Barbara Condors won t he Cal-State championship, this year beat ing the Berkeley Flying Cir cus in the finals by six, with a score of 21-15.

The States is the to the West what the Easterns is to the major powers on the East Coast- the initial opportunity to test your team's strength against a top quality fi eld. In 1981, the Condors used their States tournament victory as an initial indication of how good they could be and bu ilt up a strong team that went all the way to capture the 1981 national titk. That year they beat the Circus, as they did again in 1982. The next year the~' beat the S pinoffis.

Traditionally, the Condors had large teams that simJ.. 1Y wore down other teams, but this year they took arl eighteen-man squad up to Santa Cruz to vie for the title.

In their preliminaries, they were severely tested by Chabot, who took an early four-goal lead only to watch the Condors run off a 9-2 streak and beat them 15-12. The Spies also gave them a good game, but even the return of Alan Siegel couldn't stop the Condors.

In the quarters, the Santa Barbara team routed Irvine 15-2. Irvine had lost 8-1 to the Circus the day before after taking a 14-9 lead. The Condors had to face KAOS in the semis. Santa Cruz had beaten them in the Fools Fest several weeks before. However, Skyman Dave separated his shoulder on Saturday and couldn't play. Though Chris, Bruce, a nd Bill gave it their best, they were overmatched. Ma rty Crowe of Santa Barbara gave KAOS a OR THE

look at what a good deep, who also plays Killer D, can do as he had several blocks and caught over half of the goals in the first half as the Condors forged a 9-3 lead. Though the two teams played closer in the second half, Santa Barbara still took it to them on defense and won 18-9.

The Circus was bemoaning their exhaustion prior to the start of the final game, but their performance belied their condition as they took a 10-6lead, using the bomb to jump ahead. Danny Weiss was eating up whoever was

Ken Gailey goes for block, Spinoffs vs. Circus Cal State'Semis

In t he second half, the Condor defense began to have its effect. All tourney long, Tom L€wis and Jim Kruideneir made the plays to generate Condor surges; with strategic blocks on Mouse and Bert, the Condors began to seize the momentum. They tied the game at 14-all and went ahead for good on a full-extension dive by Cliff Marhoefer.

Johnny Sky made the catch that broke the Circus's back when he came from behind Danny Weiss and made an unbelievable catch to take a 17-15 lead. The Condors scored the last four to end the game and, once again, win the Cal-State Championships.

with the Northeast Regional Coordinators, our tegional newsletter "Bri.na It In." I'm also aoina to be very active with the Newsletter Editorial Board. Anyway, the election process for the Women's National Director position is as follows: First, I11 be writing a job description that will be printed in tbe next newsletter along with elections procedures. Each candidate will submit a 1 page statement sununarizina their qualifications and teasons for wanting tbe position.

All submitted statements will be mailed to all women members of the UPA by October 1Sth (or thereabouts) with votes to be returned to the Election Coordinator (to be named) by November 1Sth. The new Women's National Director will take office oo 1/1/SS. If you are intetested in the position feel free to call me so I can give you greater detail about tbe tesponsibilities and tasks.

and though it worked to stifle the Boulder "0," the Stains adjusted and took a 9-8 halftime lead. The Circus scored to start the half and a subsequent block and score by Henny put the Circus up. At 10 to 10 "the point" of the game occurs with many defensive plays by both teams. Malt Orders fiuaJJy hits big Jim and the Stains have tum.

They bound off that point to surge 4 ahead and win the game 18-14.

The Stains had the more draining semi but go into the final with au extended rest period and hope they can outplay the Condors for a win.

The Condors broke out on top first · their defense to score thent points. After a Doug Saulter block its 3-0, a subsequent Brian O'Donnell to Casey Oark bomb makes it 4-0. Finally on their 13th possession Boulder scores on a Neal Adams to big Jim pass and Boulder is on the board. Johnny Sky opens it up S-1 on another Condor long pass, but Boulder puts on a surge of its own and closes to 6-4; a block and a full extension catch by Jack Sarafty makes it a one point game. This game is an ulty highlight film with great catches and defense throughout.

The Condors took a 3 goal lead at the half aDd came out to score the first to take a 12-81ead. The four point lead carried on at this point aDd though Boulder caused many turnovers their offense was one of the catch-stop-catch-run back to the disc, it was machinelike. The Condors simply outran them and a Tim O'Donnell block leads to aS point advantage. Boulder is desperate and tries a zone but a 'gags' pass gives the Condors a 6 goal lead. The Condors closed it out with another good defensive effort and won the game 21-14.

One of the best tourneys ended with a Condor victory. Thanks go to tournament organizer TK for a well run happy time. Congratulations to the Santa Barbara Condors and the Stains for breaking through into the cream.

In the semis, pre-halftime play showed some very close competition between the Windjammers and Dark Star due to · perfounauces by Wm<:ljammer's Wendy Coates and Jennifer Jardine.

Dark Star experience showed itself in the second half as the consistent playing of Molly Maloney, Sue Hawkins and crew helped them to pull away aDd win.

orthwest Report

by Dennis Clements The Slugs threw together an impromptu tournament on April Fools weekend; Slugs, Rising Sun, and Dark Star on Saturday, and Sl~, Rising Sun, and Fun Hogs on Sunday. It was great fun; our spectal thanks to the Slugs for the superb fields and delightfully low entry fee of $10.00! Do you remember the good 'ol days when 4, full teams would come together at the drop of a hat for a day, or an evening of Ultimate play'? It's been almost 2 years, and many of us are wondering,

"Where's the Fun"'?

Washington seems to have found the Ultimate fun harvtle in the f01m of the Puget Sound Ultimate League. For 8 weeks in April and May, approximately 10 (count them TEN), teams are pla~ Ultimate every Sunday! In addition to those teams, there are 14 mtramural teams in Seattle! (Awesome isn't it'?). Seattle, the flying-disc capitol of the Northwest!

The Intuitive l.eapers from Walla Walla hosted their 2nd tourney on Easter weekend this year. H ever there was a model tournament, this is it. Spencer, Jay, and the rest of the l.eapers seem to have an intu!-tive nack for providing the petfect atmosphere c:lfun., good accoonnodations, and competitive Ultimate. I'd like to thank Spencer particularly, for taking the time to send me the results of the meet. What a weekend for the Spud Boiz! They beat Salem, Bellingham, Evergreen, and the host W allers to go undefeated! Congratulations Idaho, that had to be a great primer for the Chico tournament. Evergreen was second with a 3 & 1 record, Walia Walia went 2 & 2, Salem 1 & 3, and WSU 0 & 4. I think I can speak for the entire section when I say, "Keep up the good work, l.eapers!" You are truly an inspiration to us all!

•

At the Chico Pioneer Days Tournament, the Spud Boiz were 3 and 3, Corvallis Glistening Trail finished 4th, and the Humboldt Buds took it to the finals, and came in second only to the Berkeley Flying Circus.

My sincere thanks to the Slugs and the Rising Sun for their contributions to the Sectional Slush Fund, (First time it's been in the black for many months).

Team captains please encourage your teammates to become UPA members. The UPA newsletter has a wealth of Ultimate infot mation valuable to all players. Make your bid to take part in, and help shape the future of Ultimate; join the UPA today.
