The latest information about the World Championships was just emailed to all the captains with the request to pass it on to the players. It has information about registration, parties, BULA congress, rules, etc... In case you didn't get it yet: download the file here.

BULA and the local Brazilian organizing committee have decided that bad spirit during the World Championships can lead to exclusion from the finals.

Using the objective BULA SOTG scoring system, all teams will judged similarly by the teams they play against. Teams that have negative spirit ratings will be talked to at the end of each day by the Tournament Rules Group (TRG). Consistent bad spirit ratings throughout the championships can lead to disqualification to play in the finals.

BULA will continue to hold the Spirit of the Game as the most important part of Beach Ultimate. Play hard, be respectful and have fun!

What do you think BULA should do in the next 2 years to help develop Beach Ultimate around the globe?

Now is the time to give your input. During the Championships in Brazil we will hold a BULA Congress where we will discuss the next 2 years of the organization. If you like to see anything discussed there, send us your feedback. The deadline is Sunday 25 November:

BULA is proud to announce the 1st European Championships Beach Ultimate for national teams.

The ECBU2008 will have 4 divisions (Open, Women, Mixed, and Masters) and will be held 8-12 May in Le Pouliguen, France. The local organizing committee is the same group that has organized the Yes But Nau tournament for the last 8 years so this should be a great championship!
