Club Indoor Events 22-23 Jan - Draft schedules and Reminders
Draft schedules are now available for all three Club Open & Women’s Indoor Qualifiers being played on 22-23 Jan at Alan Higgs (Coventry), MarJon (Plymouth) and Superdome (Cranford) respectively. Please see the links below.
As usual with the draft schedules, please contact us if you find any problems or issues, but most importantly do not make irreversible travel arrangements based on the draft. Given the ongoing significant risk of disruption to all of our events, which could lead to last-minute changes, fewer opponents and games or even last-minute cancellation, the schedules may not be confirmed until the event starts.

Scotland
Sadly, Covid-19 restrictions mean that the event this weekend in Scotland cannot go ahead as planned. We have sent a short survey to all the teams to collect information to help us work through some options for what to do next. Here is the link to the survey, but we really just want one response per team, so please coordinate internally on who is responding. The deadline for responses is the end of Thursday 20th Jan.
It has been announced that restrictions end on Monday 24th Jan, so we are working on the basis that subsequent events in Scotland (e.g. CXIQ on 5th Feb) will go ahead as planned.
Updated Indoor Event Plan (Covid Measures)
If you haven’t done so already then please, please read our updated Indoor Event Plan (https://bit.ly/UKUIndoorEventPlan2021), but here are some key highlights:
Do not attend if you feel unwell - whatever the symptoms.
Take a lateral flow test in the 48 hours before the tournament (ideally as late as possible). That said, we recognise that there are issues with the availability of tests and participants are permitted to attend if they really could not obtain a test.
Playing Ultimate necessarily involves the kind of contact that increases risk of transmission.
There are clearly very high levels of infection in the UK at the moment. Spending a day or weekend in an enclosed, albeit large, indoor space, playing a sport that involves coming into contact with your opponents, increases your risk of being infected; noting that it is quite possible for an infectious individual to be asymptomatic and to have recently returned a negative test. All players should carefully consider the potential impact of the increased risk that comes with participating at an indoor Ultimate event currently.
Nationals Bid Allocation
Check the schedule for provisional bid allocation to Nationals.
Membership and Rostering
Please don’t forget that all players need at least basic UKU Membership. You must have your TEAM ROSTER on the JustGo website up to date, so it contains only the players who are playing with your team this weekend.
The details of how to update a team roster can be found in this document. Note that ONLY Club Admins can update the team roster(s).
We will take a download of all rosters during each event and will be in touch with any players listed on a roster who are found not to hold at least basic UKU Membership.
If you have any questions or issues please email events@ukultimate.com.
Finally - Event Announcements are moving
We are moving our events mailing list from the website newsletter to a UKU Google Group.
In the next few days, people receiving Event Announcement newsletters by email will be added to a Google Group called UKU Events Announcements (uku-event-announcements@ukultimate.com).
You should not need to do anything, and the emails should just keep arriving in your inbox. They may just look slightly different and won’t be directly linked to a newsletter page on the website anymore.
There is, of course, an unsubscribe link in the footer of all of the emails.
