WCBU Sponsorship Proposal
A few minutes ago we launched the new website of the World Championships: www.wcbu2011.org and we opened registration on FFindr.
We also created a presentation for potential sponsors and hope you will spread the word:
Happy New Year!
11/1/11 – ????
Frisbee Documentary – The Invisible String
It’s hard to believe that there is no documentary film about our little rotating piece of plastic that has brought joy to so many people around the world! The histories of similar alternative sports like Skateboarding, Surfing, and Snowboarding have been covered with great documentaries.
And Frisbee?
This Invisible String Documentary will be a journey into the hearts and minds of the people that started this movement and the subsequent individuals, whom all have paved the way for its continuing global development.
For more about the project and to support the making of this documentary, visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/frisbee/frisbee-documentary-the-invisible-string
Australia Day Beach Ultimate Championships
The acceptance of Beach Ultimate by the WFDF and the upcoming World Championships in Italy next year are clearly creating waves across the globe. Yesterday we received word that South Africa has a strong interest in participating. Today a Venezuelan Womens team sent us an email that they want to come. And now we see that in Australia they are having the Australian Beach Ultimate Championships on January 22-23. Yeah!
30 Fantastic Frisbee Blogs
Our BULA blog has been featured on the list of Top Frisbee Blogs. The organization “Choosing A Career” hand-picked a list of favorites and outlined the unique reasons why they love them.
We feel honored 🙂
Of course this is a classic way to create more links and subsequent better search engine positioning. It is actually so classic that I thought that this method had disappeared last century.
Nevertheless, it also means that a disc player probably works there and why not help out a fellow disc player by proudly displaying our badge? My only gripe is that the badge could look better:
San Francisco Beach Ultimate League
For many years there have been regular pickup games on Ocean Beach (Saturday’s 2:30 PM at stairwell #9). Now the time has come for the Bay Area to have a Beach Ultimate league.
Led by Renata and Edmundo (the organizer of Gazos Gambit) there will be games every Sunday at Ocean Beach from 1:00 to 3:00 PM beginning January 2, 2011. No games January 16th due to conflict with Lei-Out. The season concludes with 2 consecutive Sundays of expanded tournament-style play on March 6th and 13th.
For those that are Beach Curious (a great word considering the location 🙂 you can register and get more information at http://bayareadisc.org/leagues/ocean_beach_home.asp
Cartoons playing Beach Ultimate
What would it look like if cartoons played Beach Ultimate? TV in Catalunya show us how with the help of players from Peixets and Guayota 🙂
World Championships updates
Ffindr registration
The last tests are being performed but all registrations for the World Championships of Beach Ultimate (WCBU) will go through Ffindr. Ffindr is an online event manager application for all disc related events. It is superb! Tones of useful features and really easy to use for administrators and players.
Website
We are just a week or so away from unveiling the new WCBU2011 website. Stay tuned…
Overwhelming interest
43 Countries have shown interest in participating at the World Championships in Italy next year. Statistics show that we currently have 83 team divided over 6 divisions with the Mixed Division leading with 24 countries!!
Grand Masters
There is a real strong possibility that this will be the first World Championships for Grand Masters (40+). It might include a ride on the Magic Bus (a tradition that started at the WCBU 2004 in Portugal)
Etc…
The lack of public communication is not an indicator of progress. Lots of things happening ‘behind the scenes’. I have no doubt the World Championships will be a huge success!
More information once it becomes available…
