> Subject: Announcing WFDF Coed Division
> > Dear Players and National Ultimate Organizations,
> > On behalf of the World Flying Disc Federation's Ultimate Committee
> (WFDF),
> I am happy to announce the creation of a new division for the August
> World
> Ultimate Championships in Blaine, Minnesota - The WFDF World Coed
> Championship Division. > > Each country's national organization is invited to send a coed, or
> "mixed"
> gender, team to participate in the 1998 WFDF World Coed Championship
> Division. > > Coed teams consist of both men and women, with at least three of both
> genders playing at all times (3:4 gender ratio). The gender of the
> seventh
> player is chosen by the offense (receiving team) at the beginning of
> each
> point.
> > Playing rules are the same in Coed as in Open and Women's divisions
> (unless two captains come to a special agreement, within tournament
> guidelines). Conventions relating to coed play will be discussed on
> e-mail
> prior to the tournament and at the capt ain's meeting. There are no
> age
> restrictions in the 1998 WFDF Coed Division. At least 4 coed teams
> must
> enter for the division to proceed. > > Each coed team must have a roster of at least 12 eligible players,
> including at least 5 women and 7 men. Ideally, coed teams have an
> equal
> number of men and women. > > Coed teams will follow standard WFDF rules for registration and
> eligibility, with the following exception: The 1998 WFDF Coed Division
> is
> being offered on a trial basis for the first year - our goal is to
> jump-start a successful division by encouraging coed teams from as
> many
> countries as possible. Therefore, the WFDF Ultimate Committee is
> committed to working with each country on an individual basis to
> assist
> that country in sending a coed team. To qualify for special
> eligibility
> option A or B (below), a national organization must explain why it is
> unable to form a full coed team and must obtain permission from the
> WFDF
> Ultimate Committee's Coed Representative, well in advance.
> > Special option A allows national coed teams with permission to add
> pre-selected North American coed players (especially women) to fill
> incomplete rosters. This is not pick-up, and must be arranged within
> guidelines. The spirit of this option is to allow new countries and
> countries with struggling women's divisions to attend worlds. The
> Coed
> Committee will pre-select filler volunteers for the pool of available
> mercenaries well in advance, attempting to provide incomplete teams
> with
> filler players who speak the team's language. There will be a limit to
> the
> number of filler players allowed per team, with countries with little
> or
> no Worlds experience receiving more flexibility than countries with
> strong
> Worlds experience. A team using special option A may not add more
> filler
> players than its own standard players.
> > Special option B allows up to 3 national organizations to form an
> international coed team, with permission. The spirit of this option
> is to
> allow more players from more countries to participate in the first
> year of
> the coed division. Each country applying for option B must explain
> why it
> can not form a full coed team of its own and show that all interested
> players within the country received a chance to form a national coed
> team.
> Countries with little or no previous Worlds experience will be given
> more
> flexibility to form international teams than countries with strong
> Worlds
> experience.
> > In addition, the WFDF Ultimate Committee is committed to creating a
> coed
> division that includes enough games to be worthwhile. Therefore, if
> the
> division is small, it may be possible for a country to send two coed
> teams
> for the trial year. We will not confirm second team invitations until
> closer to the tournament. Countries hoping to send two coed teams
> must
> contact the WFDF Coed Representative well in advance. A country
> sending
> two coed teams will not be eligible for special option A or B. > > This is a trial division and participating teams are invited to help
> define the rules and the future of the division. If you have
> suggestions
> that will help the WFDF Ultimate Committee meet it's goal of a
> successful
> coed division, please speak up now. The intent of the division is to
> have
> as much fun as possible playing high quality mixed-gender Ultimate.
> > Ultimate lends itself to high level play with a wider range of speeds
> and
> heights than most sports. It will be exciting to watch the coed
> division
> evolve! We hope your country will participate in the WFDF Coed
> Division's
> inaugural Championship.
