Board Elections Results

It's official, all of last year's board members were re-elected into this year's board. However, Beth Roach has decided to resign as Chair due to other obligations. This means that co-chair Libby O'Neill will be taking her position. At tonight's open meeting, Sheri Stronach was nominated and voted in as the new co-chair. Hence, your 2010 - 2011 Board Members are:

Chair: Libby O'Neill
Co-Chair: Sheri Stronach
Secretary: Wendy Chan
Treasurer: Cory Logan
Captains' Liaison: TBA

Also, the board will decide on this season's captains based on your nominations.

2010 Fall League and more...

Fall league is starting on September 26. Registration is now open. Click on the Fall League link on the right for more details.

We are looking for this years' disc designs. Please submit yours to tallahasseeultimate@gmail.com. Once we decide on the theme for this season, we will also be looking for shirt designs and will ask for those too.

Also, we are closing this year's board elections and this season's captains nominations at the end of the month. Please be sure to submit yours at http://tallahasseeultimate.com/elections.html

We are having an open meeting on Wednesday, September 1st at 8:30 at The Redeye. For those interested in finding out what's happening or to give us some input, please come on out.

This year, due to popular demand, we will be experimenting with a brand new open league starting October 17. By open, we mean women are allowed to play but not required. This league will be a "bring your own team" league instead of a team draft. Stay tuned for more details.

2010-2011 Elections, Captains and Feedback

Hello Players!

The final season of our fantastic 2009-2010 year has come to an end and we are preparing for our next year. In order to make 2010-2011 the best yet, we need your help. Our goal is to have as much player input as possible in how league is run. To that end, please visit our website http://tallahasseeultimate.com/elections.html and approve or vote against the 2010-2011 board (we had only one nomination per position this year). While you are on the page, also nominate anyone you think would be a good captain and provide us with any feedback or comments you would like to share. You may nominate someone other than yourself for captain and you may nominate more than one person. You may also provide nominations, comments, and feedback by emailing us at Tallahasseeultimate [at] gmail.com.

Thank you,
TUL Volunteer Board
