More detailed information

Please read this entire post as the information it contains will affect your registration. The following registration rules have been set to acknowledge our growing waiting list of teams and players and yet still be fair to our existing teams and players. If you have any questions about these rules please email info@halifaxultimate.ca . All other registration emails should be sent to registration@halifaxultimate.ca

League Space

We have been given more field space then ever this year but space is still tight on some nights. We have added team spots on some nights and a whole new draft league on Mondays.

Traditionally, the Thursday Rec league is the first to fill and does so fairly fast. The more competitive teams from Thursday and Sunday of past years are encourage to move to Tuesday night and try their luck in the competitive division where we have lots of extra space.

Returning Team Registration

HURL Summer league registration opens first for *returning *teams. These teams have approximately one week to register before general registration opens. In order to be considered a returning team, captains must include their team name from last year and have at least 7 returning players whose names must be included in your request for a team code. Returning teams will be assigned a spot in their requested league in a first-registered-first-in basis. Read the general registration sections for details about registering when the league is full.

General Registration

If there is space remaining in any of the leagues, general registration will open on the morning of May16th. New teams who request or have requested team codes will be sent a code at this time. These teams will also be assigned any remaining spots in their requested league in a first-registered-first-in basis. When the league night is full, teams can optionally reserve an ordered spot on the waiting list. Waiting teams will be assigned spots in order and will receive a complete refund if no space becomes available. Teams spots will open if other teams drop out or if HURL is able is able to acquire more field permits on league nights.

Teams are not considered registered until HURL receives full payment. Getting a team code does not reserve a spot in a league or on the waiting list until the team fee for that code is paid. Teams can cancel their registration for a full refund at any time prior their first scheduled game.

Payment

Teams are considered "registered" only after HURL has received their team payment in full. Payments can be made online through the website or by mailed cheque (no cash). Online payments are highly recommended if you want to ensure your team's best chance of getting a spot on your league night.

Team fees are $500.

Minimum # of Players

Every year there are teams who default several games due to a lack of players and every year there are dozens of people on the waiting list looking to play. Therefore every team will be expected to carry a minimum number of players on their roster. If there are players on the waiting list and your team does not have the minimum number of players at the end of registration, the league will assign individual players from the waiting list to your team. The *minimum number of players is 5:8 *(female:male). Teams are strongly encouraged to carry more players.

Player Membership Fees

All player fees must be paid before the second week of play. If any player on a team has not paid by this date, that team will not be scheduled for play until the outstanding players have paid or are removed from the team roster. Captains have the option of paying outstanding member fees and collecting from their players afterward.

The Player Membership fee is $25 and is valid until April 2008.

Mandatory Captain's Meeting

The captains' meeting will be held at 5:00 on May 27th at our new league sponsor, Boston Pizza on Granville St. and is mandatory for all teams. If a captain cannot make it they must send at least one representative from their team. Teams who do not attend the captain's meeting will default their spot. Teams at the top of the waiting list will be invited to the meeting to fill any defaulted spaces. It is therefore extremely important to attend the captain's meeting regardless of how or when you registered or how long you have been in the league.

Game Defaults

Each time a team defaults a game after their first warning, the team will not be scheduled for the following week of play. The team who they defaulted against will be offered a double header during the next week to make up for the game missed. Defaulting should be considered an very serious offense and captains should do everything they can to avoid defaults.

Jerseys

In ordered to help build HURL's relationship and reputation with the HRM and other sports leagues Team Jerseys are mandatory for Tuesday league this year and are strongly encouraged for the Rec league teams.

Cones

No more cone deposits, rentals, refunds and other such headaches. All teams are expected to have 8 field cones*** for use during games, but can get cones by whatever legal means possible. A set of 8 field cones can be purchased from HURL at a cost of $20 or anywhere quality sports products are sold.

***A standard field cone is approximately 9" tall.

Pickup Players

Teams will not be permitted to pickup players from other teams in the same league/night. Captains can add players to their roster at any time during the regular season so long as the added player is a HURL member. However, players must be added to the online team roster by one of the league conveners. Teams should not look for players at the fields before their games. If teams require more players they are required to recruit players from the waiting list and not from other teams. Additions to team rosters will not be allowed beyond August 1, so teams are strongly recommended to anticipate roster issues by that time.
