WFDF World Ultimate Club Championships – St. Andrews, Scotland.
To: All National Flying Disc Associations.
From: WFDF Ultimate Committee
Invitation
This is your invitation to submit teams to enter the 1999 WFDF World Ultimate Club Championships
– St. Andrews, Scotland. The tournament will be held Sunday 8th August-Saturday 14th August.
Registration will be Saturday 7th August and players will depart after breakfast on Sunday 15th
August.
Responsibility of National Associations.
In the table below you will find how many teams each National Association has been originally
allocated to send to WUCC. Each division has been seeded by country and teams allocated according
to past performances at previous WUCC and WUC tournaments. The number of teams allocated to each
country in each division has been the subject of discussion and modification within the Ultimate
Committee. The table below is the result of that deliberation.
It is the responsibility of each National Association to let the TD know:
How many teams they will enter at WUCC based on their allocation for their country in each
division
All the contact details for teams for each division so that they may be contacted directly by the
TD. All general information sent to teams shall be copied to National Associations.
If they do not wish to fill their full allocation so that other countries may use their slots.
If they wish to have more teams enter WUCC than they have allocation for.
If you are a country on the Reserve list then you should let the TD know:
If you wish to enter a team and for which division
The Deadline for this initial information is December 1st 1998.
It is especially important that National Associations return this information even if they are
NOT going to send any teams. After December 1st the process of offering spare slots to other
teams will begin.
Please return the form at the end of this information to:
Charlie Mead
67, Cotton Lane,
Birmingham
B13 9SE
England
Email: charles.mead@easynet.co.uk
Being offered extra slots for teams
This process will begin after December 1st 1998. For each division the process is the same. Any
National Associations not confirming their place at WUCC by this date will lose their allocation.
Their allocation will be offered firstly to National Associations on the Reserve List who have
indicated that they wish to send a team to WUCC. Each Reserve List team in each division will be
offered 1 (one) slot each if they want it. After this extra slots will be offered to National
Associations in the order they are listed for each division in the table below. This process will
continue until all slots are full or until the closing date for team registration which is June
7th 1999, whichever is first.
Teams entering WUCC.
It is the responsibility of all National Associations to ensure that all teams entering WUCC from
their country are aware of all the rules and regulations regarding eligibility to WUCC. National
Associations are responsible for ensuring that all rosters are scrutinised and that all players
on a team's roster meet the roster and eligibility guidelines for WUCC. These are repeated below.
>From 'WFDF Tournament Directors Manual'
Preliminary rosters for all club teams shall arrive with the TD, in the format provided by the
TD, no later than four(4) months before the first day of play of the tournament. At this time
teams will be requested to put forward a player fee deposit of no less than $US 2,500. Players
not registered will be subject to a late penalty fee. This preliminary roster is not valid until
accompanied by the appropriate player fee deposit.
The team roster must be inspected by an official of the National Flying Disc Association which
the club team represents before being sent to the TD. This official shall countersign the roster
to indicate they have inspected it and found it to be in accordance with the definition of a club
team provided in this TDM and any other directives provided by the Ultimate Committee.
The rosters shall contain the following information on each player:
Full name
Shirt number (0-99)
Date of birth
Gender
Permanent address
Nationality
Date of joining the club
Explanations regarding eligibility, where appropriate
Standard passport photograph
The TD is responsible for providing the Chair of the Ultimate Committee with all team rosters no
later than two (2) months before the first day of play.
If it is necessary to make changes to the preliminary roster, a final roster for a club team may
be submitted by fax or email to the Chair of the Ultimate Committee (or their designated
representative) no later than fourteen (14) days before the first day of play. This amended
roster may include the names of up to five (5) players not named in the preliminary roster and
must be countersigned again by an official of the National Flying Disc Association which the club
team represents. No players may be added to the roster in the final fourteen (14) days before the
start of the tournament nor during the course of the tournament.
A team may withdraw any player from competition at any time up to the initial payment deadlines.
If a team withdrawing players from competition also adds new players to its roster, the forfeited
player fee for the withdrawn players shall be counted toward the player fees for the added
players.
For a player to be registered to represent a club team it is necessary that he/she has:
complied with the club team eligibility requirements set out below
paid the player entry fee for the event
The minimum number of players permitted on a roster for teams is twelve (12). All teams must
register at least 12 players for the start of the tournament. If, during the course of the
tournament, a team is not able to field at least 10 players for a single game, then the
Tournament Rules Group (TRG) may suspend that team from competition on medical grounds.
Definition of a club team
For Open, Womens Co-ed and Masters Teams:
A team comprised of players who have not, for the last four months prior to the WUCC played,
competed or entered into competitive tournaments with any other team.
Teams may have up to three players on their roster who are not regular members of their team.
These individuals must not have played for any other team entered for WUCC for that year. These
individuals must be clearly identified on the Team Roster.
A sports club that is a legally recognised entity operating in one geographic area and with a
membership base large enough to support more than one competitive team, may enter the tournament
with a single team in each division of its choice, comprised of players selected from any
regularly competing team of the club.
It is the responsibility of National Associations to nominate bona fide club teams, up to three
extra players and exceptions before the pre-registration roster deadline shall be approved under
the following directives;
Exceptions for Open and Womens Teams (all exceptions to apply)
Common sense and the spirit of the game should prevail
Countries nominating 2 or less teams should ensure a minimum of 51% of players are regular
members of that team (this includes the three (3) players identified in 2 above)and the remainder
of the team must be paid up member players of other teams and their National Association
A further exception in this situation is when a player belongs to both a student team and a
different club team. They may continue to play for both teams prior to WUCC. (NB: Hat
competitions are not regarded as 'teams')
The remainder of the team (maximum 49%)must be geographically adjacent to the club they wish to
play for, not be closer geographically to any other teams from the same country entered for WUCC
and whose own clubs are not entered in WUCC.
Exceptions for Masters Teams
Male and Female masters should be 30 years of age during the year of the tournament.
Common sense and the spirit of the game should prevail
Countries nominating 2 or less teams should ensure a minimum of 51% of players are regular
members of that team.
The remainder of the team must be paid up member players of other teams and the National
Association
The remainder of the team must be geographically adjacent to the club they wish to play for, not
be closer geographically to any other teams from the same country entered for WUCC and whose own
clubs are not entered in WUCC in any other division of the same gender as that player.
Players living in more than one country may play together as an International Team and waive
points three (3) and five (5) above at the discretion of the TD.
Exceptions for Co-ed Teams
Co-ed teams must field four players of one gender and three of the other at all times of play.
Co-ed must have a minimum of seven of one gender and five of the other on their roster.
Common sense and the spirit of the game should prevail
Countries nominating 2 or less teams should ensure a minimum of 51% of players are regular
members of that team.
The remainder of the team must be paid up member players of other teams and the National
Association
The remainder of the team must be geographically adjacent to the club they wish to play for and
not be closer geographically to any other teams from the same country entered for WUCC.
Players living in more than one country may play together as an International Team and waive
points three (3) and five (5) above at the discretion of the TD.
After the preliminary rosters are due all exceptions to the definition of a team shall be
scrutinised by the Chair of the Ultimate Committee (or their representative). Exceptions will be
considered on a case by case basis and could, for example, include the case of a player who
currently lives in a different geographic area but has historically played with the club.
All rosters containing players classified as exceptions according to the definitions above must
include an explanation for each of these exceptions that describes the particular circumstances
that have made it possible to approve the player on the roster."
