Brazil’s new disc magazine

Today a new (Beach) Ultimate magazine was launched in Brazil. Sent only via email (smart!) the publication keeps everyone informed about new teams, local tournaments, the story behind the national Beach Ultimate team and other disc news in Brazil. More information can be requested from ultimate_journal@yahoo.com.br

Beach Ultimate in the Ukraine

Since 2002 Dimitry Strelchin and his friends have been organizing the Kiev Hat tournament in the Ukraine. The location is great and look how popular this tournament has become:

I especially like the picture of the baby with a beer bottle on page 2 🙂
This year they are thinking about an international tournament at the Black sea beach in Crimea (South of Ukraine). We will keep you posted.

Updated: National Team and Player Manual

Version 1.3 of the National Team and Player Manual (0.1 MB .pdf) for the World Championships in Brazil can be downloaded by clicking on the link above. The updated manual has some spelling corrections and the long-awaited entry for Currier Island.
A quote from the manual:
currierisland.jpgCurrier Island— The Beach Ultimate Paradise— is different things to different people. To native islanders, it is home, the sweetest spot on the globe, the hidden treasure on the high seas. To laymen, it is the unnamed tropical haven they dream about when they have their “Hawaii, but better” dreams…

Google (Beach Ultimate) Map

Today we changed our website. We added a few more links on the navigation to make it even easier for you to find what you are looking for. In addition we added a Google Map where anyone can add information about locale Beach Ultimate. It doesn’t matter if you only have 5 players that want to play, or are organizing a league or tournament. With the Google (Beach Ultimate) Map people can find you!

Free Flyers and Posters

BULA has always tried to help players organize Beach Ultimate pickup games, tournaments and leagues. It started off with a whole section with tips for organizers. Two years ago we started offering free pictures in high resolution to be used for posters, articles in newspapers, etc… Last week we published an extensive Sponsorship Guide to help organizers understand how sponsorship works and how to ask for it.
Today the BULA PR group released free flyers and posters that people can download and use to promote Beach Ultimate in the area where they live. Everything was released in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.
The posters were designed to allow people to easily add their own information on the right, while having a catchy design and some information on the left.
The flyers were made so people can print them on one piece of paper and fold it into a great handout for people watching the game. Again we left enough space so that you can add you own contact information and anything else you find useful. We hope you will make good use of them 🙂
Download the .pdf files below. The flyers are about 0.5 Mb and the posters are 0.25 Mb:
