I try to use a quiet but audible count, and I make an effort to slow
down for the final 3 ticks.  This counteracts a natural tendency to speed
up the count when excited, and also conveys my feeling that I would prefer
to have my opponent attempt the throw rather than stall out, because people
feel more frustrated at a stall out than an incomplete pass.

          Marin House Candidate Is an Ultimate Freak
          
Larry Liebert, Washington

	"ON THE FIELD", the political invitation boasted, "Bennett
	showed spirit, speed and big eyes." That, presumably, is a
	compliment in the jargon of Ultimate fanatics, a decidedly
	unconventional special-interest group that convened for a fund
	raising breakfast near the Capitol yesterday.
	
	Ultimate is a competitive sport played with a Frisbee. It turns
	out that one of its enthusiasts is Bennett Johnston, who is
	running for Congress in the Marin County district that Barbara
	Boxer is giving up. Like any ambitious politician, Democrat
	Johnston is trying to tap into the pockets of his natural
	constituents, in this case with a cut-rate $25-a-head
	fund-raiser keyed to his environmentalist platform and his
	Ultimate credentials.
	
	'YO-MANA' and the Senator
	=========================
	
	"In the late 1970's, he founded the Duke University Ultimate
	team," the invitation reveals. "In the '80's, Bennett played
	with his brother Hunter on 'Yo Mama' in Washington, D.C. and he
	finished his competitive playing days with the 'Bears of Boston.'"
	
	In case Ultimate camaraderie wasn't enought to attract
	contributions, the invitation held out the hope that at long
	last the underappreciated Ultimate player would be given due
	recognition in the corridors of power: "With an advocate on the
	national level we can help to promote the sport in a
	responsible manner. Field access and the spiraling cost of
	insurance has become a growing problem for Ultimate players.
	Let's help to elect someone to Congress who truly knows out
	concerns."
	
	It's not clear, however, that the "distinguished guest' at
	yesterday's event truly appreciated the ethos of the
	saucer-tossing sport. The event featured the environmentalist
	candidate's father, Senator J. Bennett Johnston, D-La., the
	very conventional advocate of his state's big oil interests.
	
	For all the efforts of the Marin County candidate's campaign to
	underscore the generation gap between father and son on issues
	such as offshore oil drilling, it's a fair bet that Daddy
	Johnston did appreciate his son's knack for spotting a
	special-interest group and going after it.

A scoober is basically an upside down high backhand thrown with a 
forearm grip.  It is a quick release throw, and is generally used 
for short yardage area passes.

Three things from Palo Alto...

1.  I agree that shouting extra loud just to make the thrower nervous
   is against TSOG.  I don't think getting a little louder as you get
   closer to 10 is too bad.  This, of course, begs the question of
   what is "a little."

2.  A while ago there was a lot of talk about UNC Wilmington being
   less than spirited.  Just for the record, they were quite 
   spirited when they were at the Stanford Invitational.  One of the
   most enjoyable games I've played.  

3.  Thom McKean is NOT a member of the Stanford Team.

Hi there,
Just got set up here in Ft Collins, Colorado. We are hosting two major events 
this spring season. This a note to see if anyone has any questions about the 
tournaments, and certainly all suggestions are welcome. 

First, the UPA College National Ultimate Championships well be held May 23-25 
on the CSU Campus and at surrounding parks. The Fields are plush and the town 
is great! Bring your oxygen, our altitude is around 5,000 feet.

Second, The U.S. Open Flying Disc Championships will be held July 19-26, with 
the finals being staged at City Park, in Ft Collins. For those of you 
unfamiliar with the format, there are 7 events in the competition including; 
Freestyle, Golf, Double Disc Court, Discathon, Accuracy, Self-Caught Flight, 
and Distance. Individual event prize money is awarded, as well as an overall 
purse for the Mens, and Womens champions with the highest combined point 
totals. 

A very fun time! Any questions just drop some email or send regular mail to 
The Wright Life, 200 Linden, Ft Collins, CO, 80524, or call (303) 484-6932.

Good luck to everyone,

In the UK our games usually last between 90-150 minutes or to 17-25 points. 
Games being capped to 2 points if time is up before the required points total 
is reached! Our National tournament is planning to have games of about 2hrs, 
with 2 or 3 games a day for three days. Great fun!

Personally, I think any outdoor game should last more than an hour at the 
least, since some people/teams take a long time to really get going.

Yah.  I certainly didn't mean to suggest that one should *not* be increasing
one's upper body strength.  WRT ultimate, there are plenty of other advantages
to a strong upper body even if it wasn't useful as a sprinter.  Nonetheless,
two facts remain: (1) if you train your body strictly as a power weightlifter,
you probably won't be a good ultimate player, and (2) training the body for
football is significantly different than training the body for Ultimate.

Yes, my wife and I went to that fund-raiser - the very first we've ever been to.
 There were about ten frisbee players from the Washington Area Frisbee Club
there.  And I remember playing with Bennett back in the days he was going to
school here in D.C.  He was a pretty good player, and my only criticism was that
he was devoting too much time away from Ultimate. OK. So maybe he was right.

The primary race has eight candidates, and he has been decribed variously as
"one of the top three" and "the potential front-runner".  I've heard that Steve
Courlang, who I last saw play with Tsunami, was one of his campaign managers or
workers.

The California primary is June 2.  Bennett is a strong environmentalist,and, he
promised me at the fund-raiser, is a person who will not forget his frisbee
roots.  He said he'd be delighted to "throw out the first disc" at some
tournament.

Hmmm - we've always said that when Ultimate players grow up and become adults in
society and move into important positions, like bankers, and ad exectuves, etc.,
we will finally be able to break into the public eye and be accepted as a real,
albeit unique, sport.  Who know that we had a chance of breaking into the halls
of the U.S. Congress so soon?

Hate to sound overly cynical, but if we can't even get the scores of the games
from the tournament directors, than this system is impractible.

Here! Here!  Well said.  I think no one is against punishing, in some way,a team
that is destroying SOTG, but, you are right on target that seeding is NOT the
way to do it.  When you seed a strong team low, you are only punishing the other
teams that happen to fall into that pool.

It's a minority sport - but it's growing, but the World League has put paid to any hopes 
that European Gridiron would go professional.

(More like summer really - i.e. the baseball/cricket season).

Although the Norweigans may play in spring because of the weather (their soccer season is a bit
odd too!), the major reason is that in most of Europe amateur gridiron is played
on other people's soccer or rugby pitches, which are busy the rest of the year.
