Awesome.
HOLY TOLEDO!!!! That sounds magical
-- Fishklan41... I know you live in the middle of NC somewhere... you
could be one of the head observers up that way! I know we'll be in
contact.
--- The furthest team away from all the center state competition was
the first to respond with...
"we are definitely interested"
ECU IRATES - We didn't expect anything less.
-- Games WILL BE UPA Sanctioned.
Every single UOA Event thus far has been UOA Sanctioned and we plan to
keep it that way going forward.

Sounds fantastic. Have all these teams said that they are going to
participate? I wonder how this will impact weekend tournament travel
for the NC section. If Clemson had weekly intercollegiate competition
I expect we would only attend a couple of pre-series tournaments.
I can only suppose there is now bad blood between UNCW and the entire
UOA now.
This is sad.
oh, well.
----Our ideal would be HS Stadiums....however, as we constantly
consider our plan....we are finding that it may be more likely that a
lighted county/city park may(or may not) be more likely. Parks might
be easier to secure vs HS stadiums that may be hosting girls soccer?
lax?field hockey?etc....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> -All games will have observers -- of course
---we're going to keep expanding the observer pool in NC...and beyond.
-- Is UNCW interested in attending a UOA event?
I'm 1 hour from most locations, you know I'm down
-- For the record... There is no bad blood between the UNCW program
and the UOA. The UOA thinks very highly of the UNCW club athletes and
club captains.
UNCW captains Bender and Dave are great guys and we would love to have
their program be apart of all of the UOA events.
What about UNC Chapel Hill??
---are you kidding?
UNC Chapel Hill = Carolina......'round these parts.
UNCW not on this list? Cant believe they dont want a piece of this
action.
MW
whoa, now this is cutting edge. did uncw pass up on this
opportunity? what about the longstanding uncw/ecu rivalry. what
better place than this to let that play out? I dont understand uncw
not wanting to be a part of this at all????
they do???? then why is it they havent attended a uoa event
yet........when its right in their back yard?

---well....if the NCUltimateLeague goes well....South Carolina might
be where we expand to.....
so stay tuned.
Mike I know we've talked about this but have you got anything in the
works for the women's team in the NC area? Great work with the men
but how about the ladies????
---sorry....we're working to change South Carolina into...North
Georgia.
so...North Georgia might be one of our next stops.
---Jason is working to secure fields.
we'll see how it goes.
our goal would be to invite THE TOP 7 TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY to come and
battle against the Seaweed.
sweet.....why not do the same in the mens div though???
--------------------------------------
-- Hi ulticritic..... have you been reading RSD?
That's what we're doing....
Getting the top competition in the country to come compete for the
Octagon.... hellllooooo!
WOLFPACK ULTIMATE

-00-
how will you figure out who the top competition will be? some type of
tiered elimination format i'd think, no?
--awesome!
that makes 7 teams committed to the UOA's NC College Ultimate League.
one more and we will be SET and ready to roll.
The format will be....8 teams.
2 four team divisions(east and west) who play 3 round robin games in
their division.
if we can work out a sat or sunday when we can get all 8 teams in one
spot, we'll have each team play the 4 teams from the OTHER
division...but that is not mandatory, just an extra bonus if we can
work it out.
After the pool play rounds IN the divisions....quarters semis and
finals will be cross divisional...
that is...
west 1 v east 4
west 2 v east 3
west 3 v east 2
west 4 v east 1
it's gonna be sweet!
C'MON UNCW SEAMEN........swallow your pride and step up!!!!!!
