2009 Winter Indoor SeasonPlease note that TUC Indoor Leagues are 6-ON-6 speedpoint games, game length is ACTUAL time playing - all taxes are included in our pricing. The Winter indoor season includes 3 quality playing locations, all of which boast state-of-the-art sport turf: BMO Field, Hangar, Varsity Centre. All rosters must have a minimum of 10 players and the maximum number of players on a roster is 16. Hat Teams in the Thursday League will have 12 players. Note that the divisions or levels of play at BMO (Elite/Comp vs Int/Rec) will be flipped-flopped from the Fall Indoor Season. So Int/Rec is on Mondays for the Fall session (Nov 17 - Jan. 19), but is on Tuesdays for the Winter session (starting January 27). Elite Comp is on Tuesdays for the Fall session (Nov 18 - Jan 20), but is on Mondays for the Winter session (starting January 26). Also please note that where multiple venues are listed (Tuesday Co-ed League), that means you will play games at both venues, it does not mean they are separate leagues altogether.

The Winter season is usually a bit more selective due to higher participation numbers. Even if you played competitive in the fall, this does not guarantee you will be drafted to a competitive team in the winter. Sign-UpWinter 2009 indoor registration opens November 12, 2008. All players must be TUC members. Membership costs $65 per year and runs from April through March. However, for Winter League we offer a Pro-rated membership fee of $25 for new players. All prices include PST/GST. All players must sign the waiver of liability form before stepping on the field, member or not. Preferred locations, playing partners, and league categories (competitive, recreational) are not guaranteed, however we do our best to accommodate all requests. Rules regarding game play, substitutions, and more can be found on the TUC Indoor Rules page. Team captains must assist in enforcing the rules. Please abide by the Spirit of the Game when dealing with this (and any other game) issue. Spirit, Safety & FieldsSpirit of the Game is an integral part of Ultimate. In order to encourage teams to play with Spirit, we are requiring all teams to submit a Spirit score as well as a game score after each game. It is the responsibility of both team captains to submit a spirit score for the other team after every game. Metal cleats are not allowed under any circumstances. Plastic/rubber cleats are allowed at BMO Field, Varsity Centre, and UCC, but NOT at the Downsview Hangar. Running shoes or turf shoes at the Hangar only, absolutely no cleats there! Foot blocks are not allowed except with the explicit prior agreement of both team captains. Any footblock, attempted or successful, should be treated as a foul. Since field space is difficult to find, the TUC is always concerned about the possibility of losing currently permitted fields. Permits can be revoked if teams engage in prohibited activities or as the result of complaints from neighbourhood groups. Therefore, we remind everyone of the following policies:
League ContactsThe head convenors for the 2009 Indoor Leagues are TBD. General questions about Indoor league should be addressed to winter@tuc.org. BMO Leagues have their own contact emails; bmomonday@tuc.org and bmotuesday@tuc.org (Men's League to bmotuesday as well), and Women's Sunday League inquiries can be sent to sunday@tuc.org. However, in order to reduce the flood of emails to the convenor, if you are a player and have a question about the TUC or the league, please ask your team captain first or contact the appropriate person as listed on the TUC Contacts page. Your team captain is your first point of contact with the TUC when it comes to administrative matters. Hopefully this provides all the necessary information to get your Ultimate season rolling. See you on the field! Playoff Notes
