Competition Format
7 versus 7. Games played to 9 points during round robin play, but may be played up to 13 in the playoffs. At the time-cap teams will complete the point they are on; if there is a tie, one more point will be played.
We will be trying something new this year! We will have 2 divisions for this year’s tournament. Competitive and Recreational. The tournament format will depend on the number of teams that sign up for each division. If there is a low number of teams, we’ll have a pure round-robin tournament; otherwise we will have round robin pool play followed by a single-elimination tournament to determine medal winners. All teams will qualify for some level of single-elimination playoffs. Men and women play in the same division. 20 player roster limit will be enforced (no gender requirements). Teams must rank themselves from 1 to 10 with 1 being noncompetitive and 10 being most competitive on the entry form. Please use the following as guidelines when considering your team’s self-ranking.
8-10: Most of the team (>50%) has played on USA Ultimate college and/or club teams
5-7: Most of the team (>50%) has played in summer leagues, intramural teams, and/or high school teams
3-4: Most of the team (>50%) has played in at least one tournament/Iowa Games
1-2: Most of the team (>50%) has never played any organized Ultimate before
Generally speaking, teams that are ranked themselves 1-5 should be in the Recreational Division, and teams ranking themselves 6-10 are in the Competitive Division. Please be honest with your self-rankings (in both directions) so everyone (both your teams and your opponents) can have an enjoyable day.
