College Season Update
The latest edition of the 2010 UPA College Rankings have been posted, with the added functionality of both geographic and Division-III filters. Although the top spots remain unchanged in both the Open (Colorado) and Women's (Oregon) divisions, this past weekend's events resulted in movement throughout the Top 25. Rankings will continue to be updated every Wednesday throughout the series. The College regular season continues this weekend with 10 events across the country. Events are linked from the season calendar. Teams wishing to participate in the 2010 UPA College Series should note that the 5pm MT March 26 team registration deadline is quickly approaching. For questions regarding the registration process, contact Matthew Bourland.
2010 Grand/Women's Masters
The UPA has announced that the 2010 UPA Grand Masters and Masters Women’s Championships will return to Colorado from July 10-11. Entering its second year, the event will be held at the Pleasant View Sports Complex in Boulder, Colo., and hosted by Grass Roots Ultimate (GRU). Last summer the inaugural UPA Grand Masters and Masters Women’s Championships took place in Denver. Sixteen Grand Masters teams (composed of players ages 40 or older) and 16 Masters Women’s teams (ages 30 or older) will advance to the tournament, which supports the UPA’s strategy to increase opportunities to play, expand offerings to new divisions, and reconnect the UPA with more experienced players.
