There is lots of stuff going on on the beaches around the world. In Portugal last weekend there was the 10th edition of the Bar do Peixe tournament, Wildwood in New Jersey is aiming to have 196 (!) teams this year, and in Belgium there are 2 new Beach Ultimate tournaments this year... We need more people writing reports, uploading pictures and videos...

Who wants to blog twice or 3 times a year on the BULA Blog? Contact me at patrick @ beachultimate.org if you are interested.

Old-timers among you may recall the original "Ultimap Locator" hosted at the University of Rochester. This allowed you register yourself (or your team or your favorite playing field or whatever) using a then-state-of-the-art clickable graphic map. You could then search for people by name or by map--great for finding a pickup game on the road (or finding the guy whole stole your cleats at Worlds). Well, sometime in 2002 the scripts that ran the system broke and there was never time to fix them. Now that has changed and someone created the new and improved Ultimap at its own URL: http://www.ultimap.org

It uses Google Maps for the mapping, so the results may actually be geographically meaningful. There are RSS and Google Earth feeds available (see the FAQ).

Anybody wants to start beachultimap.org? BULA will pay for the domain name and hosting...
