I play college level Ultimate at Brown, and I'm going to be in Beijing
for nine weeks this summer. I've searched online and haven't found
anything about a league there. Does anyone know of one? Or at least
someone to throw with?
Thanks,

Strange, typing Beijing Ultimate Frisbee into google brings up a bunch
of hits, including the first website with this address:
contactATbeijingultimate.com. Silly college kid. Beijing just sent two
teams to Jeju island in Korea for the Korean ultimate frisbee
tournament - where the winner won 1,000 US dollars.
I'm in Shanghai and I don't know what their league schedule is, but
Beijing has a bunch of people who play. China Nationals (with teams
from Dalian, Ningbo, Tianjin, Shanghai, Xiamen, among others - mostly
Chinese university kids) is being held in Beijing the last weekend in
May. Shanghai tournament - which is more international in flavor -
will be the third weekend in June.
There's plenty of ultimate in Beijing right now, both local and expat
groups.
There should be an international tournament or two during the summer.
We will probably havea summer league too, I recommend you join the
Beijing Ultimate google group to find out the latest details:

Hope to see you around in the summer.
I know one of the guys from 5 Ultimate (Zahlen, perhaps?) was playing
for Beijing Ultimate for a while.... shoot them an e-mail, I'm sure
they can help.
I figure a brown-educated individual would be able to google...
I demand an immediate investigation into the college eligibility of
the entire brown roster.
Feel free to shoot me an email when you get to Beijing or post on the
googlegroup for more information about ultimate in Beijing or any
other questions you might have about living here.

Competitive + good times.
Uh, except the week before the Olympics when it's gonna be pouring
rain and other chemicals?
See ya around in Beijing, Brownie.

Keep us posted this summer on the olympics. Heck, if you have any
interesting news on the run-up starting now, that would be good.
Just getting back to the states from Nepal, I saw a bit of the other
side of the mountains, so to speak. I would love to hear what's going
on in the capital these days.
Hey, I'm also gonna be going to Beijing in June. I have a team here in
the Philippines, and I don't think I can handle the withdrawal
symptoms being away from disc for 9 months. Someone please tell me
there are teams that play. :)

We'll be running pickup at least twice a week during June, so no
worries. if you're looking for more information the best thing to do
would be to join the Beijing ultimate google group.

Cool, I'm really looking forward to playing and meeting you guys.
Thank goodness I won't be deprived. :) We're still in the middle of
the Summer League here, our team is doing pretty ok. Hope to see you
soon.

Have fun!
