Quick Info

About 80 players from Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri participated in the event
6 teams played 5 games of speedpoint ultimate, from 9am to 2pm.

What the heck is Speed-Point?
Speed-Point is a faster variation of ultimate, played 5 v 5 with a few changes to the rules:

Only 2 pulls per game – 1 at the beginning of each half.
After a point is scored, the player with the disc sets the disc on the ground where they caught the score, and an opposing player can either a) initiate play at the spot, or b) bring the disc up to the line to initiate play.
Sub-ins are on-the-fly at mid-field.
Stall count goes to 8 instead of 10.
The field is smaller - 30 yds wide, 50 yds long proper, 10 yd endzones.
Games go to 19, or last 40 minutes, whichever comes first. 2 minute halftime at 10.
Teams will have between 9 & 12 players, depending on the number of registrants.

Schedule / Format: Each team will play 5 games, 45 minutes each. Format will depend on the number of teams:

8 teams - 2 pools of 4 with round robin play; winners & losers brackets afterward.
6 teams - 4 games of up & down tournament play; final games based on seeding.
4 teams - 1 pool with round robin play; bracket play.

LollapaLUDA is a co-ed tournament, for everyone over the age of 16, regardless of skill level, experience, or athletic ability.
This is for a good cause, and we're here to have fun!
