What Is Touring?
There are different divisions for touring
teams: Open (Men's), Women's, Mixed (4/3), Masters (Over 30)
and Juniors (under 19). Tournaments take place in different cities
throughout the year and you can pretty much play a tournament every weekend
of the summer if your body will let you. A touring team will only play
in tournaments; there is no
regularly-scheduled league. As a result, the rosters will change from
tournament to tournament and sometimes, teams will change there name as
well. The tournament directors will loosely base their seedings on
past performances in other tournaments.
Tournaments typically run both Saturday (3 to 4 games) and Sunday (2 to 3
games), Saturday being round-robin pool play and Sunday is for playoffs and
the Championship. Games usually last 1 to 1.5 hours or to 13/15
points. The Canadian National tournaments will run for three to four
days and the Worlds run for seven days!
The calibre of play, compared to Guelph Ultimate leagues, generally starts
at the high B-level with the majority of teams composed entirely of A-level
players. Tournament use the same rules that Guelph Ultimate uses in the A
Division, though some top-level tournaments use "observers" to make line
calls and offer second opinions when players cannot agree on a call. The
"observers" are usually only used for the semis and final games. Touring players
do cheer at the end of the game. ;)
The touring schedule generally starts in March and ends in November. High level teams will play in about six to ten tournaments a year, anywhere in Canada and the USA. Lower-level touring teams usually play in about three to four tournaments a year, mostly within driving distance. The highlight of the year is the Canadian Nationals which takes place in August in a different city every year. Teams must qualify for this tournament by doing well in a regional qualifying tournament, it's a long road but worth it in the end.
Hopefully Guelph
Ultimate will be able to put a team or two together this summer, to give
players a higher degree of play and a chance to enjoy ultimate at a
different level.
See ya on the field...
