• Is this your first tournament?

  Ultimate is often played in day, weekend or week-long tournaments at which teams compete in a number of games rather than playing one-off fixtures.

  We aim to ensure that schedules provide suitable game time and that teams have adequate rest.

  You can find the indoor rules of Ultimate here, but if you have any questions please ask.

  After each game please make sure your team provides a Spirit Score for your opposition. More information can be found here.

• Additional details

  Surface: This venue has rubber crumb (3G) pitches. Trainers are ok, but we advise astroturf or Football boots with short studs. Boots with long metal studs (eg Rugby style boots) or blades are not allowed.

  Your belongings: Please don’t take all of your stuff right up to the side of the playing area. There is plenty of space around the edge of the hall. Essentials such as water or inhalers can be kept on the sidelines during play but they MUST be kept a safe distance from the edge of the pitch.

  Clothes: Bring warm clothes to wear between games as the venue can be quite cold.

  Water: There will be water available on-site. Please bring reusable water bottles to avoid plastic waste. There is a drinking water tap in the corridor between the hall and the entrance.

  Food: There is no food for sale on site other than 2-3 vending machines. Please ensure all players and participants bring a good packed lunch and lots of snacks. There is a bar area where it is possible to buy hot and cold drinks.

  Seating: In addition to the space in the hall, there is an area near the entrance to the building with benches and tables where players may also sit in between games - subject to permission / supervision from coaches/teachers as appropriate.

• Safety and medical

  Please remember that it is never worth endangering yourself or others to get the disc. You must remain aware of other players and your surroundings.

  Any incidents should be reported to the TD (the person running the event).

  For First Aid please go to the TD desk.

  For serious incidents, the nearest hospital is:

  Frenchay Hospital, Frenchay Park Road, Bristol, Avon, BS16 1LE

  0117 414 4569

  Or call 999 for an ambulance.

• Spirit of the Game

  Submit Spirit scores after each game using the button at the top of the page. The process usually takes a few minutes.

  Please try to submit scores after each game, or by the end of play each day. Scores submitted after midnight on the last day of the event may not be included in the Spirit data.

  • Scoring should be a team effort

  • Go through each category on the online scorecard (you might want to remind the team what each one means)

  • Ask players to use their fingers to indicate their score (0-4). Ask anyone who scores more or less than 2 to briefly explain their reason - this may help others who can change their score if they want to. Try to go with the majority

  • Remember a score of 2 is ‘good’ or ‘as expected.

  • Leave a comment - this is essential if any of your scores are 0 or 4.
