IMPORTANT MESSAGE: TUC Fall Indoor Leagues and Winter Indoor Leagues Update
Dear Members,
The Toronto Ultimate Club continues to monitor COVID-19 developments in Toronto and beyond.
On January 5th, the Province of Ontario returned to a modified Step 2 of Ontario's Roadmap to Reopen to "blunt" the surge of OMICRON cases, at least until January 26th. Under the modified Step 2 of the Roadmap to Reopen, all indoor sports and recreational fitness facilities were closed as a public health measure, resulting in TUC cancelling all indoor programming until January 26th.
For the last couple of weeks, TUC has been liaising with venue providers regarding refunds/credits for the 21-day mandated indoor facilities closure and looking at ways to complete the Fall Indoor Season while minimally impacting the Winter League season.
2021 Fall Indoor Leagues
TUC leadership feels it is vital to complete the Fall Indoor Season and crown 2021 Fall Indoor League Champs somehow! The survey TUC sent out to the Fall Indoor League participants shows people are in favour of a one-day playoff date to close off the season.
We want to make that happen - and to do so, we're excited to announce that on Sunday, January 30th (afternoon between 12 pm and 5 pm), TUC will host the 2021 Fall Indoor League Championship "a la Sudbury's SnowPlate" at St. Patrick's (just down the road from Monarch) to crown the following league champions:
- Tuesday League
- Wednesday Parity League
- Thursday Elite League
- Sunday Masters League
The top 2 teams, based on the standings as of December 17th, will face off to be the league champs. The remaining teams/players in that league will be invited to watch and or play a pick-up game alongside the championship game.
TUC staff will be in touch with each league to provide more details regarding the championship on January 30th.
2022 Winter League Season Start Delayed
For all 2022 Winter Leagues set to start the week of January 24th, the start date is currently pushed back by at least one (1) week to the week of January 31st. Please note that for the Monday West League @ Lamport, the Winter League will begin as scheduled on February 28th.
21-Day Mandated Facility Closure Refunds/Credits
To ensure we continue to provide our members with value for their registration fees, TUC will be issuing refunds (less 10% admin fee) and credits per our refund policy for the 21 days of the Ontario Government-mandated closure as follows:
- Adult Leagues:
- The refund is based on the cost savings (reimbursement) for the venue for the mandated shutdown for the particular league.
- The cost-saving (reimbursement) is divided by the number of total teams (including any HAT teams) in the particular league.
- If the league has a HAT team or the league itself is a HAT league, the cost-saving (reimbursement) per team is divided by the number of individuals on the team to determine the individual registration credit/refund.
- Junior Programs and Leagues:
- The refund/credit is based on the number of weeks missed due to the mandated shut down and the program's cost per week (all Junior leagues and programs have a cost/week of ~$15/week).
Details of the refund/credit amount per league or program are provided below:
