Ultimate Windup?

So, there was some small discussion about a wind up party.....
I was wondering who's interested and when works for people.
Email me (the first letter of my name)guderian@franticfilms.com if you're interested or if you have a good idea for what we can do.  Don't forget that not everyone on our team works for frantic, so lunch doesn't work.
I was thinking about this friday or next for dinner at _________ (insert somewhere cool and relatively cheap)
Cheers,

Touchers Say wha! And Sunday's game

TOUCH BASE!!!

OMGWTFBBQ! The Grape Knights couldn't pull together enough people to play.  They've forfeit the game!  Toucher get their first win of the season!
So, no game Sunday.  Stay home or hang out.
Julie, Marc, Mike, Shaunna, Ian and Laura.  If you post your games for Sunday here, you might get some spectators, since we don't have any game to go to.
Great last game and great season guys!

Tonight!

Monday Captains,

Or should I say makers of rain?
Tonight is in question.
We will see how the day progresses.

Worst case scenario if tonight is canceled then we will do the same
thing I did with Thursday which is to squeeze in an extra time slot on
the Saturday of Monday games.
The majority of the q-final games would be played in the 11:20am slot.
Additional games would be moved to the later slots where I have openings.
This will in some case create over laps and conflicts for players with
teams on other nights.
I tried my best to avoid this but we will have no choice.
I will update the PDF file on the site later today and will email you
later in the afternoon.

thanks

Finalized Ultimate Playoffs Schedule

We have received confirmation on our playoff schedule!  The following schedule will hold true, assuming that we do not win our games on Friday or Saturday, although the teams that we play against will be dependent upon their performances as well.  Following is my prediction, please, no offense intended to any other teams who might be reading our blog in hopes of gleaning Base Toucher-busting secrets, or any fellow Touchers!  You know I love all of you.

22 Aug 6:30 vs. Chaquita Commies, A 4
23 Aug 6:55 vs. Craptaculars, MODS 6
24 Aug 3:20 vs. Grape Knights, MG 5A

Don't forget the Grand Opening Ceremonies:
23 Aug 12:10 somewhere at the MODS fields

Again, I'm going to be trying to keep track of who's coming to the games, so we can touch base with the other team if we can't make up enough players.  So please rsvp.  jbutchard@franticfilms.com

Go Touchers!

Game 2night

Hey Team!

We play at Assiniboine Park tonight against the Craptaculars.  The game is at 6:30pm and the field is A4 which runs Southeast-Northwest and is just West of Locomotive Drive.

They also wear Yellow shirts so please bring an extra dark one.

Also, I will prolly be a little late unless I can get off of work early... See you all there!

Ultimate Tournament Aug 22nd

The Base Touchers have a playoff tournament on August 22nd.  I'm taking stock of who's going to be able to attend that weekend.

Just to give you a little taste, here's the preliminary schedule that was sent to Tracy.  Of course, this is highly subject to change:

22 Aug: 6:30 vs. Chaquita Commies, field TBD
23 Aug: 12:45 Opening Ceremonies for playoffs
23 Aug: 6:45 vs. Craptaculars, MODS 6
24 Aug: 3:20 vs. Grape Knights, MG 5B

Please get in touch with me (if you haven't already done so) to confirm your attendance or absence at this event. 

You should know that the MODS website is promising beer tents.  My sister-in-law told me that the playoffs are relaxed and fun, and you run into friends and acquaintances that play in other leagues or on other nights.  So come, and let's touch base.

email me at jbutchard@franticfilms.com

Game 2nite

Hi All,

The game tonight is at 7pm against the Loose Cannons.  We’re playing at MG1b – which is just west of the volleyball courts; so turn left at the fork in the road.

See you all there!

Jon not playing July 27

Hello, friends.

I will not be able to make July 27th's game, as I will be enjoying a vacation in and around fabulous Lake of the Woods, Ontario.  I'll be wishing you well from the lake - have fun!

On another note, I vote to not play on August 4th.  It'll be my last day of vacation.

FW: roster deadline

Teams have until August 1st to declare their intentions for Championship
Weekend.
Quarter Finals for Monday league are on the Friday night.
Your team would then play once on Saturday and once on Sunday.
More details will be announced at the beginning of August once we know
how many teams are participating.

Lastly several teams have asked if they can play on August 4th because
of the last rain out?
This is up to you guys.
If a whole division plays then for sure.
If 6 of the 8 teams can play then the 2 that don't would receive forfeit
ties.
If less than 6 teams want to play then that division will not count
those games.
You would be playing the schedule from July 7th.

...

What do we want to do about that game? Who wants to play Aug. 4?

Also who can swear under oath they can make Aug 22-24 Championship weekend?
Like it says, you must have played in 4 games!

T

Practice Sunday July 20, 2008

Hey Gang!

I know we last pretty horribly last night, but truth be told we are improving as a team!  I will be at Assiniboine park this Sunday at 2:00pm ish (if anyone can upload a pic that would be appreciated).  The practice will be held by the train (where the previous practices have been held).  Please wait in that parking lot if something is going on because then we can ALL go find a spot together.  Bring one bring all! Bring your significant others, bring your friends... heck! Bring your dog!

See you all 2nite!

 

Marc

FW: Game Canceled

Hello Captains,

I'm so sorry to report to you that we will have to cancel tonights games.
Due the lack of available weeks we will not be able to make up this game either.

NOTE
More information will be available in a week or 2 but I wanted to let you know as soon as possible that
MONDAY Quarter finals will take place Friday August 22nd of Championship Weekend at all our regular fields.
Teams will play two more times on the weekend.
All other nights will play their quarter finals on their night of the last week of the season.

thanks

Grape Nights

July 7^th is against the Grape Nights too (The first team we ever played) – we can totally beat them! – especially now that we have our team shirts – they won’t even know what hit ‘em!

 

 

July 7th: St Vital Park

Hi Touchers,

Next Monday, we're playing at St. Vital 2 at 7:00. You can find the map
here:

http://mods.mb.ca/site/Ultimate/Fields/St-Vital-Park.html

I hope to see all of you there. We should try out zone defense again,
as it seemed to work out really well this past Monday!

Monday June 30th Game at Lindenwoods

Hey,

Our next game is at Lindenwoods at 7:45.

http://mods.mb.ca/site/Ultimate/Fields/Lindenwoods.html

I'm gonna plan to arrive an hour early lest I get lost in a maze of
cul-de-sacs. See you there!

FW: gate

Sorry, I'm in a rush...
This only pertains to teams playing at our fields tonight.
The gate is almost certainly not open.
The lock was switched on the fence this weekend and we don't have access to
a key at this moment.

I really apologize but it looks like you will have to park on the road and
walk in to the fields.
We are fighting with the city to rectify this situation but there is as
always a lot of red tape.

sorry again

Dang. The attachment didn't work out.  Our game is at WUL3 next week at 7:00.  WUL is Maple Grove but you drive to the right when the road splits (Pember - where you went last time).

Hey Captains,

Attached is an excel sheet with the next game on it.
Look at the "MON Seeding Game" tab.

The divisions have not been altered or set yet.
So in most cases people are playing teams from different divisions etc...

I will try my best to get teams into the appropriate spot based on the info
I have.
This game will be on the site in the next day or two.
***Note the new field location CD...Crescent Drive Park*** The map is not on
the site yet but will be soon.

If you have any outstanding fees or any players who are not registered yet
you need to get on this.
Teams who do not complete this process prior to July risk losing points in
the standings.
We will be sending out another payment update soon.
Any player who does not have a MODS symbol by their name is not paid.
Any player who has a yellow icon has not updated their membership.

thanks

Touchers Theme Song?

Last night at the game, someone suggested that we use M.C. Hammer's 'Can't Touch This' as a song for the Base Touchers.  It got me thinking about other songs with the verb touch in them.  Problem is, I'm not musically inclined, and all I could think of was Blondie's 'I Touch Myself' song.

Any one else know of other touching songs?  I think it might be funny to compile a playlist on someone's iPod and play it during halftime or something...

Let me know if I am way off base here.  :)

Tonight's Game - June 16

Hey Guys -

It's back to the originally scheduled game. MG#3. Check out the locale online. Maple Grove park is at St. Mary's and the perimeter. Go down the dirt road that runs parallel (on the north side) to the perimeter. When the road split - keeps going straight (not to the right). It's a bit of a long ways down that road but it opens up into a lot of fields at the end.

See you all there - 7pm!

Tracy

Tonight's Game Already Cancelled

Crap!

MikeF

========================================================================
Hello Captains,

MOTHER NATURE has not been kind.
The fields are saturated and with the rain continuing it is only getting
worse.
The Rugby Park has canceled their fields already and with no reprieve in
sight I am forced to do the same.
I am very sorry for these circumstances.
Next week we will (keep your fingers crossed) play the original week 1
schedule.
This is still listed on the site as May 19th.

*************************************************************

Due to the 3 rain outs we will lose a round essentially.
After next week we will only have 8 weeks (not counting August Long).
7 of those are for the bracket of 8 round robin.

Which leaves us with 1 week to try to help determine seeding for that round.
If you have additional info for about your teams status (i.e. you've had
bad attendance and your record could be better than it shows) let me know.

It will be difficult for me to properly seed teams for the round of 8
with so little information.

************************
Good news....
We have a new field at Crescent Drive Park (off Pembina just south of
McGillivray) this will allow us to take A1 out of rotation which has
become a less than ideal playing surface.

thanks

FW: June info

Hello Captains,

3 things

*******

1) We are currently seeking someone with a backyard and a BBQ near
Churchill Drive who would be willing to host a little Captains Hat feast.
MODS would supply all the food and drinks.
Please contact me if you or anyone you know could do this. (the date for
this is Saturday June 21st)
**************
2) BEAT THE SKEETERS
There's plenty of room in the tournament and it's a great opportunity
for anyone who has never played a tournament to try it.
Just because your whole team can't do it doesn't mean you should give up.
There are lots of partial teams that could merge to form teams.
You and / or your players will learn more in 1 tournament than you will
in an entire summer of league games.
So if you have partial team or a few players who are interested please
contact me so I can set people up.
There will be different skill divisions so you don't have to worry about
the level.
Myth: only touring players play in tournaments... TOTALLY false.
Tournaments by and large are more spirited than league and give teams
the chance to go with themes etc...
Playing with new people is always a great way to improve your game.
If nothing else please makes sure that your players are at least aware
of the tournament. (June 14 -15 / Assiniboine Park)

****************************
3) Flood Intermediate Co-ed Skills Clinic (Sunday June 22nd 11am...
10:40 registration)
Last year nearly 70 people came out and things went very well.
These years topics include: West Coast Offense, Man D, How to protect
against the huck and a gender specific layout clinic.
Send your captain, send your rookies.... send your whole team.
This will take place (weather depending) at our new MODS fields (need
that soft grass for the layouts).
The cost is $5... again if nothing else please spread the word.

I hope your season is going well. (my apologies to people who captain
multiple teams as you will receive this more than once)

thanks a lot

Beat the Skeeters Tourney

Hey All,

Would anyone be interested in playing in the beat the skeeters ultimate tournament next weekend (June 13-15)? Cost is $200.00/team (that’s just $14.50/person if you have 14 players). They have different divisions it seems online (similar to tier 12- haha) and you get a bunch of free garb or something…? Mods.mb.ca has the details on the front of the homepage.

Park just north of the train on Saturday. Same place as the previous
practice. If it rains, then let's try for Sunday instead.

Jon

Fun in the Sun

Hey all,

 

So when are we all getting together to throw the disc and drink some beers?

Opposites on the Colour Wheel

I'm trying to collect the outstanding $163.36 I need to pay for the
t-shirts. Please bring exact change, or your chequebook, and pay up if
you can at today's game.

If you want to know how much you owe, please contact me
(jbutchard@franticfilms.com), and I'll let you know. I'm also bringing
a spreadsheet to the game.

Speaking of the game, it looks like it's at 7:30 against the Grape
Knights in St. Vital Park. Visit the MODS website
(http://mods.mb.ca/site/) for more details and maps.

The game is not yet confirmed, however. So perhaps there is a chance we
will continue our undefeated streak for yet another week. :)

Jon

Game Tonight

Hey Everyone,

Just as an FYI our game tonight is scheduled for 7:30 at St. Vital Park #1. Locational map can be seen my going to mods.mb.ca, clicking across the top on "Monday", scroll down to "Tier 12" and click the yellow "sv1".

I'm not sure who has the team disc from our last practice, but whoever it is, please bring it along.

See you all there!!!

Tracy

Sunday May 25th Practice

I realized that the Teddy Bears Picnic is at Assiniboine Park this sunday
so parking would likely be an issue, so my other team decided to move our
practice to Shaftsbury HighSchool instead.
Its not to far from Assiniboine Park its just down Shaftsbury Blvd a bit.
so sorry for the late notice but the practice will now be on Sunday at 1pm
at Shaftsbury Highschool.
see you there,

Brett

Practice this weekend!

Well if we wanna keep our undefeated streak going I'd say we should have
a practice, either that or hope for another rainy Monday! So yeah, I'd
still be up for having a practice on Saturday! Could someone post a
confirmation as to whether or not were having the practice as well as
mention where the practice will be?
and whether we have a practice on Saturday or not, my other team is
having a practice on Sunday at 1 in Assiniboine Park, so your all
welcome to come out to that one too! We practice at the south side of
the field just off locomotive drive.

Brett McLaughlin

....

Considering you and Tracy are the only ones to show interest in a practice on Saturday, I don’t think there’s going to be one; unless something happens from now till tomorrow…

 

 

Marc

 

Saturday

I’m thinking we could scrimmage 3pm?

 

 

Marc

Practice

I would be down for a bit of a scrimmage practice on Saturday some time. Thursday and Friday are out and I'm not into practicing to get better by doing drills - but if we could set up a fun game to learn as we go along, I would totally be down!

Tracy

Practice sometime?

Hey Team!

 

I was thinking yesterday while I was sitting at my desk getting fatter and lazier by the second if we shouldn’t have another little informal practice?

 

I was thinking about the same place as last time on either: Thursday, Friday or Saturday.  I don’t think Sunday is a good idea as we are all sore for game on Monday…if we have one that is….

 

So let me know.. Post comments or your own blog.  The more the merrier!!!

T-Shirts Ordered!

We have ordered t-shirts. The delivery date on them is June 10th.
It'll cost $13.66 each. Tracy & I will get back to each person on their
actual cost, as many of us overpaid by a few dollars on the league fees
earlier. Yay t-shirts! Now we have to start looking for those yellow
headbands...

Jon

game is cancelled... again!

as you may have noticed its kinda raining! so due to the wet fields MODS
has cancelled the games for today!
but the good news is that this means were still undefeated! so yay good
job team!
enjoy the remainder of your long weekend!

Brett McLaughlin

Game is on for Monday

Same bat time, same bat channel!

Ultimate T-shirts

So here's the scoop with the tshirts:

We're going to have to order the Gildan tshirts in order to qualify for a price break.  We're ordering 'Yellow Haze', because it is the only yellow available in unisex and women's fits.
http://www.gaultsapparel.com/cgi-bin/live/site.w?location=olc/cobrand-product.w&product=2000&frames=no&target=main&sponsor=000001&nocache=46219

We've also been able to reduce the number of colours for the printing to two from three.

This means that a standard unisex shirt will come to $11.87 before taxes.  I believe that there is a price difference for the women's tshirt and oversize shirts.

Our goal is to have the order for tshirts placed by Tuesday, and it will be a couple of weeks turnaround time to get them.  Don't forget to wear a yellow shirt to the next game (which is presumably this holiday Monday).

If you wish to see what the unisex tshirts are like, Tracy has a couple of the Journey shirts in her office.  We will take them to the game on Monday, if there is one, to show the non-Frantic people for fitting.

Jon

P.S. The tshirt design is attached.

Tracy wrote:

Hi Guys,

 

Please send me what size of t-shirt you want ordered for you for our ultimate team.  They are the same ones as the Jounrey shirts were so I have some sizes up here for you to try on if you need.  Mike, Ian and Chris, can you please send me your significant other’s size choice – Julie – I have yours, but could you pass this on to Tony please!

 

If I don’t hear back from you by Tuesday May 20, 2008 I will assume you do not want a shirt.  We will only be doing one run of the shirts so the decision kind of has to be made now.

 

They’ll look good – I promise.  Jon has assured me they should not cross the $15.00/shirt mark.

Game is Cancelled tonight

I'll keep you posed on next week, but for now tonight's game is canceled!

Tonight

Hey Everyone!

Unless otherwise notified, the game is still on. Yes, we play when it rains, snows, etc. I know the league is very concerned about field conditions though, so they might cancel tonight if they think playing on them will wreak them. I will keep everyone posted if I hear anything about cancellations. If you don't hear from me again - Game is on!

Also, Scott was right as far as I can tell - When at Maple Grove go straight the whole way - don't turn right at the split off point on the dirt road. It look like we play right across from a parking lot. 7:00. Who can't make it?

Also, there is a kick-off event at Winn City Pub tonight. Fort Garry Beer squad is going to be there with prizes and stuff. Let's not sit on the patio though - on account of both the rain of water and rain of gunfire I hear runs amuck around there...scary!

Keep you posted....

Car Pooling

Hey All!

 

I live in the south St.Vital… so if anyone lives near there I would be willing to offer my services as a chauffer; no since in bringing more cars than necessary.

T-Shirt Designs

For the practice at 1:00 on Saturday the 10th, please bring your
submission for the t-shirt design. We'll vote on the winning design.

Please keep in mind that we want to minimize printing costs, so keep the
designs to one colour, or two if you must.

Jon

Can't make June 2nd

Hi,

I already have to make my regrets for the 2^nd of June. L 

I will be there for practice on Saturday J

 

Stacy

 

 

Saturdays are best for...

...Ultimate practice!

1:00, same spot in Assiniboine Park as the doomed Snow Day Practice.

I think it might be a good idea to do it Saturday because:
1) Sunday is Mother's Day
2) it will give my leg muscles Sunday to recover for our first game on
Monday (after the last practice my legs were sore until Wednesday :D )

Please bring yourselves, a smile, and a disc if you have one.

I look forward to seeing you all there!

Jon

First schedule

I got the first schedule at the captain’s meeting last night.  There are three games on it and they do this so that they can move teams around into proper divisions after the first three games.  They are as follows.  Please check the website for field locations and maps.

 

Game #1:  May 12, 2008 at MG2A vs Disc Virgins

Game #2:  May 26, 2008 at StV2 vs Grape Knights

Game #3:  June 2, 2008 at A2 vs Dawg Discuits

 

See you all there!

Scared

Anyone else scared of Tony “the barbarian” too?

 

Haha!  Can’t wait to meet you.  This team is CLEARLY going to be ridiculous…ly awesome!!!

Weather and fields

Hey Team,

So i woke up and saw what it looks like outside... As inspired by Tracy
wearing mittens and still managing to throw and catch at last practice,
I think it would be prudent to cancel today's practice.

Main reasons being:

a.) It's cold and wet.
b.) If it actually warmed up in the next 2 hours, the ground would
probably be pretty soft and we might tear up the field - which MODS
doesn't like.

Let me know if anyone is adamant about practicing today =)

Snow Day!

Well looks like were having another one of those beautiful May Snow Days that Winnipegers seem to love so much!
And it would be a shame to waste such a beautiful snow day by being outside playing frisbee in the park, so I'm going to go ahead and, as you've probably guessed, cancel our practice today.
but Tune in next week! Same bat-time! Same bat-channel!

Brett.

Deirdre

hello team

So your looking for a Ultimate player. I'm your guy! I may not be
fast, but I can play dirty! I'll be there 1pm Sunday with brass
knuckles on!

Tracy... I'll pay you Sunday.

Sunday May 4th Practice

We're practicing with Brett McLaughlin's other ultimate team on Sunday,
May 4th at 1:00.

He tells me that there are a lot of beginners on his team, too.

Plus, the current forecast is that it will be 19 degrees out, so please
put on your shorts and come on out!

We're meeting at the south end of the field that has the pavillion at
its northwest corner, the conservatory at the southwest end, and the
french formal gardens on its southeast corner. You know, right next to
the fenced-off train?

Please bring your frisbees.

Registering with MODS

Hi Guys,

The League needs the following people to register online as you have not yet and they're having trouble tracking fees. The following people have not and need to:

- Julie Arnal
- Marc Lafontaine
- Stacy Stanley Young
- Mike Martin
- Dana Larose
- Laura Cardiff
- Matt Sabourin

That's how I entered you into the team listing so let me know if I spelled your name wrong or something. To register go to http://mods.mb.ca/site/ look to the left hand side and click on create new account under the MODS registration section.

Also, I have been informed that we are more than likely secured for a spot on Monday nights! We paid up last night so everything should be good to go! I have a meeting next Monday night and I am expecting I will get the schedule then and we will start the week after that.

Yellow T-Shirts

At the inaugural team practice on Sunday, April 27th, it was decided that:

1) Yes, we will be getting team t-shirts
2) Yes, they will be yellow t-shirts

All that's left to decide is what design we wish to adorn said t-shirts
with. Bring on the ideas!

Some already suggested are:
- Ken's head
- A disc with Ken's hair
- A baseball glove and ball
- tour locations with catchprases - i.e. 'Churchill Park - Circle Back;
St. Vital Park - Touch Base', etc.

- Jonathan

Good Practice

Although turnout was low, the practice was great!  Thanks to Dave and Mike for showing us how it's done!!!

Just as an FYI - Stacey from corp has joined up, as well, my boyfriend Mike is going to come out and see what the deal is today as well.

See you there soon!

Team Practice

Hey everyone!

Just a reminder that our team practice is at St. Vital park this Sunday April 27, 2008 at 3:00pm. Please meet in the parking lot by the duck pond. We will find a nice little spot to practice once we're there.

The weather is also looking like crap for the weekend right now, so please check out our little blog site here on Sunday morning to see if it's a go.

Also, as an FYI, we will discuss the team shirts at the practice as well so bring your good ideas!
