to Beijing Ultimate
leering friends,

big brother and beijing bang are set to dominate china nationals this
year, both on and off the field. what’s their secret? love and
compassion. that and all the relentless scoring, stifling defense,
and crazy partying.

WEEKLY ITEM #2: Upcoming Tournaments

May 15-16: China Nationals, Beijing
June 5-6: Shanghai
June 19-20: Chengdu Hat
July 4-10: Worlds in Prague

the scrimmage this sunday between bang and big brother was an epic
battle. the game saw scores of 2-2, 7-4, 7-7, 11-12 and 13-12, with
big brother narrowly pulling out the win. really, this game had no
losers. bang’s zone was tight in the unpredictable wind and forced big
brother out of its comfort zone. big brother showed some patience and
had some beautiful zone offense points. both teams are ready to bring
some championships back to beijing.

betsy saw many sexy things during the game.

jim’s callahan ftw was sexy.
kevin’s layout hammer grab in the endzone was sexy.
bill’s throws were all sexy.
bang’s nine women were sexy.
bang’s four women who played with big brother were sexy.
the wind was sexy.
joe’s policing of the sideline was sexy.
matt’s grey shirt was sexy.
caleb and joel battling deep is sexy.
baby shyu is sexy, but not in a creepy, leering way.
bang’s multiple upwind points were sexy.
ken’s language was both foul and sexy.
the spirit was sexy.

now is the time in the weekly email when betsy gives her weekly shout
outs and call outs. remember, you want to get shouted out, but you
don't want to get called out.

a shout out to joe. your performance in mini on sunday reminds
everyone of why you were once called mini-hulk.

a call out to women everywhere. why are you so few this weekend? was
it all the leering last weekend?

a shout out to matt. this week, matt wins the award for being shouted
out most often, without even being a member of the group site.

a call out to the chait. maybe if your butt wasn’t so big, you
wouldn’t be getting jeff kicked out of parties all the time.

a rare shout to doc. the ultimate frisbee + ultimate fighting
championship mashup wins.

a shout out to mad men parties. you are the greatest parties ever.
please continue to hold yourselves on a regular basis. that is all.

a call out to nina. high heels plus already tall girl makes tiny guys
like jim and joe feel extra insecure. on second thought, carry on.

WEEKLY ITEM #3: MAILBAG

every week, betsy gets a lot of emails inviting her out on dates,
complementing her on her leadership skills, asking her ultimate
related questions, and wanting to know who she is. the mailbag is
where she answers these questions. as always, these are real letters
from real readers.


Letter #1:

Hi Betsy,

As the self-proclaimed “Godfather of China Ultimate”, I’m very excited
to return for China Nationals this year. Is there anything I can help
with the logistics or anything?

Can’t wait to catch up!
Jason

dear mr. cox,

after leaving beijing with your chinese biddy, many hearts were
broken. baijiu chugging became a thing of the past. vomiting at
beijing ultimate events plummeted to an all time low. tao became the
standard for gentlemenly behavior. it’s not to late to turn that
around. the future of beijing ultimate looks to old, wrinkly, relics
of the past to show them how it’s done. this is your chance. step
up.

betsy
xxxooo

Letter #2

Hi Betsy,

Even though i returned to Providence, I read your weekly e-mail all
the time. I even go back and read old ones when i’m bored. Which is
a lot. Sometimes i share them with my family and friends, or record
myself reciting witty passages to use as my ringtone. What i’m trying
to say is, keep up the good work. I’m so excited to be back in Beijing
this summer!

Missing Beijing and Betsy,
~Chirona

dear chirona,

if memory serves, you were the one who brought us this:

your return is eagerly anticipated by all.

and finally, your moment of zen…

11th edition rules clarifications for observers re: penalties for
offsides.

VIII. Starting and Restarting Play
B. Pull:
4. Positioning before the pull:
a) After signaling readiness, players on the pulling team may move
anywhere in their end zone, but their feet may not cross the vertical
plane of the goal line until the disc is released.
b) After signaling readiness, players on the receiving team must be in
contact with the goal line that they are defending without changing
location relative to one another.
c) After the disc is released, it is in play and any player may move
in any direction.
d) If either team fails to maintain proper positioning before the
pull, the other team may audibly announce “off-sides” and a re-pull
ensues. The call must be made before any player on the receiving team
touches the disc.
e) In games where Observers are used, the Observers may monitor and
call offsides as appropriate. The first instance of offsides for each
team will result in a warning and a re-pull. After a team has received
its warning, any further instances of offsides are treated as follows:
(1) receiving team offsides: receiving team starts with the disc at
the midpoint of the end zone they are defending, after players set up
and a check is performed.
(2) pulling team offsides: receiving team starts with the disc at
midfield, after players set up and a check is performed.

rules clarifications are sexy.

catch you on the field,
betsy
xxxooo
