Answer

How do I register as a TUC member? for a TUC league?

Before you can register as a member, or sign up for any events, you must have a user name for the web site. For details on this process, see our login and password FAQ. You'll also need to complete your Leaguerunner profile, which is detailed in the Leaguerunner FAQ.

Once these steps are complete, follow the Registration link in the left menu to view the list of available registration options. Decide what you want to register for, and follow the directions on-screen; most users find the process easy to follow. There is a system of pre-requisites, to ensure that you have registered as a member before you can register for a league. Specific details will be given if you try to register for something you are not allowed to.

Can I register for league without being a TUC member?

You must be a registered TUC member before you are eligible to play League. Once you are a registered member you can then register for a league. If you attempt to play League without being a member you can be removed from that league.

How long does my TUC membership registration last for?

TUC memberships run from April 1 – March 31. You must renew each membership year.

What is the difference between being a TUC member and TUC league player?

TUC membership includes your membership package (including free disc, guidebook, and other goodies), the services of two full-time TUC staff, insurance coverage, discounted merchandise, free TUC events and communications, and more. A portion of your TUC membership is also used to build our “Field Development Fund” which is an initiative to establish capital reserves for future field projects. This is how your membership fees are allocated.

Once you are a member, then you pay your league fee and become a player in that specific league. Each League (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) has its own fees and depending on the offerings, can be either a team fee (which is one lump sum paid for by your team – usually by the Captain who collects from everyone else) or an individual fee (which you pay yourself). Your league fees are primarily used to cover TUC field expenses and operating costs.

Do I have to register for every league I want to play in?

Yes, you have to register for each league you play in, as they each have separate fees and structures. As well, in order to make proper teams and track our numbers for each league, we must do a separate registration.

Do I have to pay the $65 once or twice if I want to play for 2 teams in this upcoming summer league?

The TUC $65 membership is an annual fee that you only pay ONCE each year. The membership runs from April 1, to March 31 of each Ultimate year. You must be a TUC member in order to register and participate in TUC leagues. It does not matter how many teams or leagues you participate in during that time (although each team or league may have its own cost), so long as you have registered as a TUC member.

When will my team be moved from the "Inactive Teams" list into the correct tier?

All teams remain in the inactive state until team registration has closed. Until then, it is impossible to determine which teams are going in which tiers, or possibly even which night they will play on. After team registration closes, the league convenor and the various night convenors will have to sit down with the team lists and try to figure out who goes where, and then somebody has to set up the required tiers and move all the teams to their correct place. This process should be completed within two weeks of the closing of team registration.

How do I register for more than one team?

Once you are registered as a TUC member for the year, you can be on the roster of as many teams as you'd like to play for.  If a team has a "closed" roster, you must be invited by the captain; if the roster is "open", you can ask to join.

I just registered with TUC ($65) and also signed up for ULW ($25) and this past weekend I fully tore my ACL and will be off for one year...don't suppose there is any sort of refund now that I won't be playing this year?

Yes you can get a refund minus an administrative fee to cover the costs of processing the intial registration and the refund.  Just email admin@tuc.org with your details and it'll get taken care of.

I have questions about maintaining the roster of a team I registered, or updating team information, or joining a team that my captain registered.

Most team-related questions are answered in the Leaguerunner section of the FAQ.

Simple Question. After I register individually for a specific leauge, I take it you (TUC) then places me on a team for the respective season. In other words, after I register as an individual I do not have to go out an actively seek out a team to play on.

You are correct that you will not need to find a team.
