Matthew Shaer has come to BULA’s aid and sent us an adapted a piece of JavaScript that allows visitors to sort all tournaments by date, country, and name. Great addition. Thanks Matt!

As of today the BULA rules are now available in Portuguese Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese!
Many thanks to Pedro Vargas, Joana Rodrigues and Raoni for their work in translating the BULA rules into Portuguese and ‘Brazilian’.
The rules have not be adjusted to the new 2007 WFDF rules. That is the next step for us and we hope to get this done in 2 months. Until then, these rules should help the players in Portugal, Brazil, Mozambique and Angola. Not to mention the press in Brazil that is getting ready for the World Championships in Brazil. (more news about the WCBU in a week)

Through the efforts of Malela Paredes and Du Faim from Brazil, we now have the BULA Spirit of the Game rating system also available in Brazilian Portuguese.
Thanks!

Today we are publishing the second in a series of translations of the BULA rules.
Many thanks to Nadia Sillano and Luca Giordano for their work in translating the BULA rules into Italian.
Italy, the home of Paganello (which gave birth to BULA) has a strong potential for the sport with lots of beaches and many tournaments and players. We hope that with the help of this translation growth will continue and a national Beach Ultimate league will not be far away.

The next translation we’ll be releasing with be the long anticipated Portuguese rules. Something that will come in handy for the World Championships in Brazil 🙂

In a few weeks we are expecting to publish the BULA rules in Italian and Portuguese. French is scheduled for later this year.

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!

Each year BULA promotes a new tournament somewhere on the globe. These series are called the Beach Ultimate Traveling Tournaments (BUTT). We are still waiting for confirmation of the 2007 location, but the 2008 location has been determined and it will be a great one: New Zealand! Four weekends, four tournaments!
Starting 2 & 3 February 2008, at Otaki Beach (one hour north of Wellington) the “Wellington Wild Wind” mixed hat tournament will make its debut. After 2 days of playing and partying the tournament will move up the North Island. Three more beach tournaments will follow over successive weekends. Costs, maps, links, accommodation and other details to follow.
Below is a first picture showing a view of the beach, and an insert of the grass area with BBQ and seating area adjoining the beach. With a river a few hundred metres away, the weather brings different surfaces to the beach, such as the shells showing in this photo, or lots of driftwood (fires!). But no worries, it is very easy to groom 🙂

For any (Beach) Ultimate player, that loves to travel and wants to visit one of the most beautiful countries in the world, this will be an experience that should not to be missed.

Here is a list with the tournaments that used the SOTG rating system that we released last February:

• Oceans Beach Hat (New Zealand)
• Bulf à l’eau (France)
• Battle on the Beach (USA)
• Boracay Beach (the Philippines)
• Costa Brava Tournament (Spain)
• Sandblast (USA)
• Bibione Beach Combined (Italy)
• Beach Fest (UK)
• the Portuguese Beach Ultimate league (Portugal)
• the Cork Beach Hat and Layout Championships (Ireland)
• Yes But Nau (France)
• 4th Beach Ultimate tournament (Colombia)
• Wildwood(USA)
• Singapore local tournament (Singapore)

To add the geographic dispersion, Magic Maggia (Switzerland) and Fiesta en Pie de la Cuesta (Mexico) also have committed to trying the system. Nice 🙂
Initial feedback has been that it is logistically a bit cumbersome (Wildwood uses 4 volunteers to deal with all the score sheets and getting captains to fill them in). Nevertheless the system has received many positive reviews and several good suggestions for the version we will release next year.
If you have used the system and have any comments: we’re going long… so throw the huck!…
