Hello everybody;
I just wanted to include an update on the preparations that we have
been making for this years tournament in Beijing on May 31 and June 1.
I have just pasted the Chinese and English details below. If you have
any questions or want the full PDF version of this text, please
contact me or Kelly Yang at yangy...@gmail.com.
There is quite a bit of information, so please read through it if you
have a chance.
现将关于今年五月三十一日（周六）和六月一日（周日）在北京举行的为期两天的中国飞盘公开赛的详细安排告知大家。比赛的准备工作已经取得了很大的进展，
希望大家借此了解与比赛相关的最新情况。
比赛地点和形式
我们在通州区已经预订了天然草坪场地，距CBD市中心仅20分钟车程。这是在北京玩儿飞盘以来我们见过的最好的场地。我们会有人定期去检查场地，随着春
天的到来，场地看起来真的很棒（见图片）。另外，交通也很方便，乘地铁八通线到管庄站下车然后打车10块钱左右就能到达。总之，我们非常激动，如果一切
顺利，我们敢说我们拥有中国最好的飞盘场地。
目前，我们有12-16个队参加，他们是来自北京、上海、天津、大连、深圳和河南的队伍还有个人。同时香港、秦皇岛和台北等城市的队伍也正在筹备当中。
整体看来，我们的规模还在不断扩大。
每个队上场队员的组成应该是四名男性和三名女性，但鉴于一些队伍达成此比例存在困难,希望各领队考虑在人员配比上留出调配余地。
比赛的形式和去年的相似：第一天周六是首轮小组赛，不分中外，每个队至少有4场比赛。第二天周日分国内组和国际组，各自进行，每个队有两场比赛。另外，
我们将安排一场表演赛，由各支外国队伍中最有经验的选手参与。这将是中国地区你能看到的最顶尖水平的比赛，千万不要错过。表演赛结束后是国内组的决
赛。
报名
请查看附件中的报名表。所有队长请于5月9日之前将填好的报名表通过电子邮件发回给组委会。我们需要确切的参赛人数来进行相关的准备工作，请各位队长遵
守以下要求填写报名表：
报名表必须由队长填写；
如第一页表格不够，可填写两页；
如截至5月9日，队长还没有最终的确切信息，请填写现有信息；
欲获得“特殊提供（免费队服）”的队伍必须在5月9日前将报名费汇至以下银行帐号：
比赛费用
比赛的费用为：外籍参赛者以及有工作的中国人为300元；应届中国籍毕业生为200元；中国籍学生100元
需要声明的是，这次比赛的预算并不富裕，我们力主收支平衡。
常问的问题：如果我的朋友想过来看看但不参加比赛，需要付费吗?
答：首先，我们欢迎任何一个来观看的人！但如果他想参加周六的派对，在场地享用我们提供的食品和饮料的话还是需要支付一定的费用，通常是100元。
我支付的比赛费用将包括什么？
以下是具体的内容：
绝好的比赛场地。我们一直把场地的质量放在首位，我们自信已做到了这一点。
场地食品。除了中式午餐外，在两天内我们还将提供你们所能想得到的各种小吃包括香蕉、橙子、面包、花生酱、果酱等。
场地饮用水。水是必不可少的，我们将有大桶的纯净水，但水瓶须自带。
啤酒：我们保证整个周末的免费啤酒。
周六晚的派对：仍和去年一样，就在离场地和住地不远的地方，丰富的食物和饮料。但与去年不同的是，今年派对的主题是SKIT!和传统的中国晚会一样，每
个队要有自己的节目，可以唱歌或者跳舞等，开始准备吧！
一般来说，从你周六早晨到达场地到周日下午离开，除了住宿外不需要任何花费。
住宿
目前我们即将预定的宾馆离场地比较近，选择如下：
每人每天45元的三人间，带有卫生间和淋浴；
每人每天60元的两人间，带有卫生间和淋浴。
另外，附近还有一家旅店提供每人每天30元的两人间，公共卫生间和淋浴。
关于住宿问题包括有人不需要预订房间的，均请在注册表中填写清楚，以方便我们前期的准备工作。
交通
基于很多人乘火车将于周六早上到北京，请把车次等详细信息填入附件的报名表中。从北京站到场地大约需要45-60分钟，但我们需要为晚一点到的队安排比
赛时间。
虽然不能为每一个人安排这次出行，但是我们知道回程票有时不太好买，所以我们想在比赛结束后做一些力所能及的事情。如果你需要，请在附件的报名表内写清
所需回程车票的相关信息。列车信息网站：http://qq.ip138.com/train/
在收到你的订票信息后，我们将保持联系，也许需要您的提前付款。
特殊提供：
作为对中国参赛队的特别待遇，“Five Ultimate”公司将赞助提供成套队服。
要求：
你的队伍的75%由中国人组成。
同时，在五月九日前支付你队的报名费。
如果您的队伍符合条件，下一步我们将与您联系商讨队服的颜色、图案等。
周日晚的会议以及今后展望
这次比赛将为来自全国各地的飞盘队、选手提供一次绝好的机会来商讨来年的飞盘活动。我们将举行一个轻松直接的讨论，致力于发展中国飞盘的未来。
另外，我们还会谈及2009年的中国飞盘公开赛。去年在天津，今天在北京，2009年呢？大连？南京？还是宁波？我们更乐于以宣布下一届中国飞盘公开赛
的比赛地作为本届比赛的结束。请对此感兴趣的队伍和组织尽快与我们联系。
个人参加者
以个人身份来京参赛队员请填写“个人表格”，这样能方便我们为您安排一个合适的队伍。

We want to take this opportunity to update everybody on the details of
this year’s China Open in Beijing this May 31 & June 1. We have made a
lot of progress in preparing for the tournament and want to make sure
that everybody has all the latest information.
Tournament Location and Format
We have secured some great “real grass” fields 20 minutes driving from
Beijing’s CBD (Central Business District) in Tongzhou district. They
will quite likely be the nicest fields we have ever thrown plastic on
here in Beijing. We have been making regular trips to the fields to
see how they look (now that Beijing is out of the deep freeze) and
they look great. The location is relatively easy to reach by subway
plus a 10RMB taxi ride. All in all, we are very excited and if all
goes well, we hope to be able to claim that we have the best ultimate
fields in China.
At present we are expecting between 12 and 16 teams to come. There are
confirmed teams or individuals from Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin,
Dalian, Shenzhen, and Henan. There has also been interest from Hong
Kong, Qinhuangdao, Taipei among others. All in all we are looking at a
great lineup.
The gender ratio will be targeted to be 4 men/3 women, but we hope
that captains will be flexible with this as there will likely be
several teams that will have difficulties meeting this target.
The format of the tournament will be similar to last year. Saturday
will be pool play that will have Chinese and foreigner teams playing
against each other. Every team should get 4 games. Sunday will have a
Chinese bracket and a foreigner bracket. Every team will be guaranteed
2 games. There will be a showcase game with the most experienced
players from expat-teams of Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, and abroad.
The final game of the weekend will be the championship game from the
Chinese bracket.
Registration
We are including a registration form with this update. It is extremely
important that the captains of each team return the forms before May
9, 2008. A lot of the preparations require that we have an accurate
estimate of how many players will attend. So please follow these
guidelines:
Captain fills out one form per team.
If you do not have all the information at the time of May 9, please
send us what you do know.
For teams wishing to take part in the “Special Team Shirt” offer
described on page 3, payment of tournament fees must be made before
May 9, 2008 to the following banking information:
Tournament Fee’s
The tournament fee will be:
100 rmb for Chinese students
200 rmb for Chinese whom have graduated within the past 3 years
300 rmb for foreigners
Our tournament is not mature enough to rely on substantial support
from large sponsors. We hope you can encourage your team to support
our worthy endeavor as much as possible. Ultimately, we hope that
everybody understands that this sliding scale helps to introduce
ultimate to a lot of people that otherwise couldn’t afford it.
FAQ: I have friends that would like to come watch…..do they have to
pay?
Answer: If you have friends that would like to watch…that is great.
But if they want to take part in the Saturday party, and eat and drink
at the field, they will still have to pay a tournament fee of 100rmb.
What does my tournament fee get me?
Here are the details of what you can expect to receive for your
tournament fee:
Some great fields. We put a very high priority on making sure that we
have really great fields this year. We are confident that we have this
covered.
Field food. Along with a Chinese lunch each day, there will be snacks
available all day Saturday and Sunday. We will have lots of banana’s,
oranges, bread, peanut butter, jam, etc.
Field water: There will be no shortage of water. We will have plenty
of the large water jugs dispensing water. However, you will have to
bring your own water bottle.
Beer: There will be free beer at the fields and the party.
Saturday Party: This year’s party will be similar to last year’s
party. It will be close to the hotels and fields. Dinner and plenty of
beverages will be served. The one addition to this year’s party is an
important one. The theme of this year’s party is ….SKIT! To uphold the
age-old Chinese tradition of performance, each and every team will
have to perform a small skit in front of the party. It can be song and
dance or theater. As we will have around 15 teams we ask that the
skits are under four minutes. Come prepared.
In general, between the time that you arrive at the fields on Saturday
morning and when you leave Sunday afternoon, you will not have to pay
for anything (except for the hotel).
Accommodations
The hotels that we are currently looking to book will be close to the
fields. Your options are:
45rmb/person/night in a 3-bed room with WC+shower
60rmb/person/night in a 2-bed room with WC+shower
In another nearby hotel 30rmb/person/night in a 2-bed room with only
public WC and shower.
Of course, if you don’t need us to book a hotel for you, mark down on
the form that you will arrange your own accomodations.
Please note on the registration form which options you want for you
and your players so that we can arrange the hotel bookings for
everybody that needs them.
Travel Details
We expect many players to be arriving in Beijing by train on Saturday
morning. Please include the details of your incoming train on the
attached registration form. The fields can be reached within 45-60
minutes of arriving at the Beijing station.
We cannot arrange everybody’s travel for them. But we all know how
difficult it can be to buy return train tickets. For this reason we
want to help you buy return train tickets for the Sunday night after
the tournament. If you want help with buying return train tickets,
please include the relevant train number information on the attached
registration form. Train info is available at http://qq.ip138.com/train/.
Once we know that you need us to buy a return ticket for you, we will
be in touch so that you can make advanced payment.
Special Shirt Offer
As a special offer to teams made up of Chinese nationals,
‘FiveUltimate’ has offered to provide a FREE set of “custom printed”
jersey’s for the team. The requirements for this awesome opportunity
are:
Your team must be made up of 75% Chinese nationals.
You must pay your team tournament fees before May 9, 2008.
If your team qualifies for this offer, we will be in touch with you
about shirt colors and designs.
Sunday Evening Meeting and the Path Forward
This collection of teams and players from all over China will provide
a great chance for us to talk over the next year of Ultimate. A casual
but directed discussion could facilitate building the future of
Ultimate in China.
In addition, we would like to formally open the discussion about the
2009 China Open. Last year the tournament was held in Tianjin. This
year will be in Beijing. 2009? Dalian? Nanjing? Ningbo? We would like
nothing more than to announce the venue of the 2009 China Open at the
conclusion of this year’s tournament. So if there are any interested
parties out there….please contact us ASAP.
For Individuals
If you want to play in the tournament but don’t have a complete team
to join, you are not alone. We expect quite a few individuals will
want to participate. If this sounds like you, we will make sure to
find a place on a team that suits you. Please fill out the form for
individuals so that we know what kind of team will be best for you.
Contact info
Of course if you have any questions about any of this, don’t hesitate
to email Jason Cox (English) or Kelly Yang (English or Chinese) at:
