Event Registration:
Registration and team check-in at the event will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 29th at the Sarasota Polo Club (Club House) from 6:00-7:30PM. UPA staff will be on-hand to check teams in, take care of any outstanding paperwork, and hand out player packs. All teams must check in at Registration prior to the Captain's Meeting. All paperwork issues MUST be taken care of by Thursday night or the team/players in question will not be allowed to play.
*There will be a $50 administrative fee added to your registration fee for teams that do not check in on Wednesday during registration.

Captain’s Meeting:
The captain's meeting will be held Wednesday, Oct 29th at 8:00PM at the Sarasota Polo Club (Club House). Attendance is mandatory. Tournament info, competition issues, and any last minute changes to pre-tournament info will be discussed.

Uniform Requirements:
These have changed from previous years, so please read them carefully. If you have questions, please contact UPA Headquarters to clarify any issues BEFORE you get to the tournament. Changes from last year are in bold:

  • All players participating in the UPA Club Championship tournament for a given team must wear jerseys of identical color and design.
  • Teams must have two jerseys of distinctly different color.
  • Jerseys must have numbers on the back. The numbers must be at least 6 inches high and be one or two digit Arabic numerals. The color of the numbers must contrast sufficiently with the color of the jersey such that they can be distinguished by event staff and media. No two players on a given team may use the same number or numbers with the same value (e.g. 00 and 0, 01 and 1, etc.).
  • Uniform bottoms (shorts, pants, skirts) worn by players on the field must be of identical color and design.
  • Teams must have numbers on either the front of their jerseys or the front left or right leg of their uniform bottoms (shorts, pants, skirts), although teams may opt to do both. The placement(s) must be the same for the whole team. The numbers must be at least 2 inches high and match the number on the back of their jersey. The color of the numbers must contrast sufficiently with the color of the jersey such they can be distinguished by event staff and media.
  • Names, logos, and graphics on jerseys must comply with the Name/Logo/Uniform Guidelines above.
  • It is recommended that uniform accessories including tights, undershirts, hats, and socks be of identical or coordinated style and color.
  • The UPA reserves the right to fine and/or disqualify players who fail to meet the uniform requirements.
Volunteer Gifts:
We are trying a new idea this year. We are asking that each team bring a gift that will be given to a volunteer at the end of the event. It should be Ultimate-related, preferably something to do with your team (jersey, hat, sweatband, etc). Don’t worry about it being expensive. It’s just something to show that the efforts of the folks that help run the event are appreciated. Bring whatever you have to Event Registration. Event staff will collect it when you check in. This is not a requirement, but we hope every team will bring something to contribute. Thanks!
