neues Spirit of the Game scoring System

Quote:

Dear (Beach) Ultimate Lovers,
I am very happy to announce that the WFDF and BULA have worked together on a new Spirit of the Game scoring system. Maintaining the Spirit key for us and having a system that correctly ranks and teaches Spirit allows us to further grow of the sport while keeping the Spirit intact.

The new system got its foundation from the system that BULA launched in 2006 (which has its roots in a system from Montreal). The system was further improved thanks to feedback from the Ultimate community worldwide and the work of Chris Schneider, Christian Jennewein, Dan Engstrom, David Raflo, Kolja Sulimma, Momme Butenschön, Natalie Visser, Patrick van der Valk, Paul Bernier, and Rue Veitl.

Scoring is now based on judging Respect, Fairness, Positive Attitude, Emotional Management, Rules Knowledge, and Physical Contact. Teams are also asked to reflect on their own Spirit.

To make it easy to adopt we created 3 similar documents:

1. One SOTG scoring sheet on a page: http://beachultimate.org/SOTG_v2008_1.pdf
2. Two SOTG scoring sheets on a page: http://beachultimate.org/SOTG_v2008_2.pdf
3. Two SOTG scoring sheets plus a goal scoring sheet on the same page: http://beachultimate.org/SOTG_v2008_3.pdf

The system was tested at the European Championships Beach Ultimate last weekend and the feedback has been extremely positive. We encourage all tournament and league directors to use this system and get feedback from your players and see what they think about it. We would love to hear what players around the world think of this system. Let us know what you like or dislike! You can use our blog to tell us what you think (http://beachultimate.org/blog/2008/05/sotg.html) or send me an email.

Pass the word!
All the best and keep 'em flying!
