I'm *IN* for Masters in '94!!

Oops, I don't know if I'll be Canadian or American by then. Better get the
Canadian Masters league off of the ground just to be safe.  

Will Masters still be 30 years old??  I've heard rumors about upping it to 35 
either gradually or in one jump.  All of us talented but rapidly ageing 29 year
olds are on the edges of our seats about this one.

Could somebody send/post info on the Seattle fall leagues? I am rather new to the sport, but I think I would like to play on a team this fall. In fact, I may have enough interested friends to start a new team. What is involved with starting a team? How do I find an existing team? I understand there is a men's league which is highly competitive, and co-ed league which is a bit mellower. I definitely am looking for a less hard-core team/league, as I (we) are not terribly good players.

UC Berkeley Ultimate Club Opening Practice
------------------------------------------

The UC Berkeley Ultimate Club is holding its first Fall practice
Thursday Sept. 10, 7pm at Strawberry fields.

New players are not only welcome, but greatly needed. 
Practices are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7pm at Strawberry.

The club is open to all students and staff of the university. 
Full-time undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to 
compete inter-scholastically.

Successful year for the club
----------------------------

1992 was one of the best years ever for CAL ultimate. The men's team 
qualified for Nationals for the first time, and placed third at 
Nationals.  The women's team won the Western region, and also placed 
third at Nationals.

How you can help even if you can't play
---------------------------------------
   -Tell me about any pickup games (eg. EECS, journalism) that are
    happening (or will happen), so I can drop by to do some recruiting.
   -Tell talented ultimate players you know, or talented athletes you
    know, about the club.
   -Mail this to non-USENET ultimate players.

Ok so there are five disc golfers reading this group instead of the

             WASHINGTON POST ENDORSES FRISBEE PLAYER

     John Capozzi, who is an active member of the Washington Area
Frisbee Club (and is also the person behind "Ultimate Stuff" a UPA-
designated merchandiser), was the subject of today's (Sept 1)
editorial, in the Washington Post.  Here are some quotes from the
paper:

     "If District voters are concerned about how their quest for
full citizenship is pursued on Capitol Hill, they should pay
attention to a so far relatively unnoticed election contest that
will be on the ballots Sept. 15.  It is a contest in which the
incumbent should be turned out of office in favor of a serious
challenger.  The office in question is called 'U.S.
Representative,' a title that should not be confused with the job
currently held by Eleanor Holmes Norton, which is D.C. Delegate to
the House. . . . [The] shadow 'senators' [are] not  up for
election: Florence Pendleton and Jesse Jackson.
     "The effort for statehood--or even any progress on
representation--is not at all helped by the presence of Mr.
Moreland [the incumbent] in this office . . . .
     "There is an alternative: John James Copozzi, a Ward 6
activist who has served on the the Democratic State Committee and
with various youth job and neighborhood anti-crime efforts.  Mr.
Copozzi, endoresed by a number of Ward 6 neighborhood leaders . .
. pledges to visit every member of Congress on behalf of statehood
. . .
     Regardless of how voters may feel about the possibilities
and/or problems of statehood, the office up for election should be
held by someone who can help, not hurt, the effort.  The election
of John Copozzi as Democratic nominee would make this necessary
change."

     Well how about that!  (The Post spelled his name wrong, btw).

Stuff), the phone number is 202-544-0821.

There are 8 open, 8 women's teams in the tourney; indeed, these teams are 
the only teams who'll get any of the prize money.  But note that the 
top 4 teams in each division receive prize money...

OK, here is the more or less unofficial but probably true scoop
on the potential ChowdahFest in Rhode Island possibly Oct. 3-4

GRIM.

Sorry to have two disappointing postings in a row.

The turf one normally associates as home for tourneys for the Chowdaheads,
Goddard State Park in Warwick RI is booked.  From now 'til maybe Halloween.
Other sites in the state are being desperately sought after, but don't
book those plane tickets yet!  Due to the meekness of the New England
schedule, holding that on Halloween weekend has been brough up, even
with the currently existing 2 or 3 scheduled Halloween tourneys.

On the bright side:  The New England tournament season looks sooo
feeble, I will try my best to make sure that Brown U. holds a tourney
in the fall, if possible.  We planned on attempting another one,
(did we name it last year? anyone? I don't remember.) but those gears
can't even begin to grind into motion for another week or two.
I'll keep you informed.

I asked the folks from Cuervo this last year at the party (remember to
bring your nice clothes: collared shirt, no jeans or sneakers :)).
Their reasoning is that by ending on Saturday, they can get better
coverage in the Sunday papers.  They can hype the finals, etc.  This
didn't seem to hold true last year.  The tournament got pretty good
coverage in Saturday's paper about Friday's play, but Sunday's sports
section was dominated of course by college football.  I don't remember
seeing any articles on the tournament in the Sunday papers.  There may
have also been an issue about wanting to have the party on Saturday
night, after the tournament.  They may still have blue laws in Georgia
that restrict how late bars can be open on Sunday.  I doubt that this
is an issue in Boston.
