The time of the Congress will be 09:00-14:00 hrs. The Congress will be held at the Mäetaguse Manor Hotel & Spa (official hotel for WTDGC) which is 500m from the Disc Golf main course. This is the first time the annual Congress has not been held in conjunction with an Ultimate Championship since 2007. Our Annual Congress is composed of several types of discussions. First, there are the business matters of the federation requiring voting approval of the members: approval of the proposed budget, acceptance of the financial statements, approval of the Auditor, the annual risk assessment, and approval of key play related matters. All of these materials were sent initially back in June to ensure you had sufficient time to review them in advance of Congress. Second there are a variety of presentations made to apprise you of our activities: the Census, disc community survey, the report on the many WFDF sanctioned events, activities of the disc sport committees, anti-doping issues, marketing and broadcast, the work of the Commissions, and the updates from our Continental Associations. WE include written reports on most of these topics for your upfront review. Finally, we like to encourage an open dialogue among the Members on various topics of interest. This year will feature three discussion topics: 1. “How should WFDF define its role regarding Disc Golf? How can WFDF best work with EDGF and PDGA?” 2. “What It Will Take to Get On the 2028 Olympic Games Programme,” and 3. “Transition of Ultimate-Centric Member Countries to Multi-Disciplinary Associations.” We look forward to getting your input on these and all matters during our session. Our Disc Golf chair Charlie Mead has prepared some notes for topic 1. In connection with topic 2, we include two publications for your review in advance: “A New Age of Sports” by Sports Innovation Labs (Angela Ruggiero), highlighting their view of today’s new “fluid fan,” and “Future of Global Sport” released by The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations (ASOIF), outlining the technological, socio-economic and geo-political developments and themes that will increasingly affect IFs and the model under which sport will be managed going forward. Finally, on topic 3, per the Bylaws as revised in 2018, Article II, Section 1.4, country member associations will be required to represent all disciplines that meet the requirements by year end 2020, or make the transition no later than year end 2021, and this Congress will be a good opportunity for members to exchange ideas on how best to accomplish this. As always, thanks for your support and I look forward to seeing many of you in Estonia later this month. For those who will not be able to attend WFDF, we are going to attempt to provide a livestream to allow our members to participate in the Congress online. Please notify [email protected] should you wish to utilize this mechanism and we will advise you if we are able to make such arrangements (as it is dependent on facility capabilities). We look forward to seeing you at WFDF’s 2019 Congress 2019, by one means or another.

He referenced the updated briefing book which was sent to all participants before the Congress meeting. 2 Roll call of National Associations present & confirmation of votes allotted See Annex 1 – list of participants. 3 2017 Congress Minutes (already approved) The Congress 2017 minutes were provided in the briefing book and were already approved by Congress in December 2017. 4 Decisions taken by Congress between 2017 and 2018 Congresses The decisions taken by Congress between the 2017 and 2018 Congresses were outlined in the briefing book. 5 Report by the President Rauch reported about the talks with the IOC which were held during the SportAccord convention 2018 in Bangkok. He welcomed the five new member associations which were accepted since the last Congress and added that Universality is very much important to the IOC. WFDF these days has around 40 member associations on average participating in WFDF events. On the development side, the focus is on Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. The continental championships have grown hopefully due to this development. Development is supported by the IOC funding. The Beach development is allocated out of the collected Beach revenue. WFDF is still working on the 2018 development grants application procedure. On the governance side WFDF, has been conducting Bylaws discussions since last Congress but there seems to be a consensus now. Five Board members out of 14 are women and WFDF is trying to get better gender equality on the Board, also working with the Athletes’ Commission to get their voice into the decision-making process. WFDF has appointed a Sustainabilty Officer who conducted an assessment after WCBU 2017 which helps to make WFDF`s events more environmentally friendly. Also a new transgender policy was developed and approved. We have recently been reviewing the issue of concussion protocols, even though this has not been a big issue in WFDF events. On gender equity and equality, the WFDF Women in Sports Commission was reconstituted with several new members. A gender equality workshop will be held at WUCC 2018 on Sunday and Monday evenings. WFDF provides perfect gender equality at this event, with an equal number of men and women teams. On the event side there was a split of the Masters divisions away from the rest of divisions and WFDF expects to have nearly 3,000 athletes at 4 WMUCC which proves the interest in the event. Continental Beach Ultimate events were also just added to the event portfolio. WFDF still is trying to find a way to co-operate with PDGA (Disc Golf) and has introduced Disc Golf national standings which were very well received. With regard to Multisports events WFDF was recognized by FISU and signed an agreement with ISF (International School Sports Federation with the inaugural event to be held in 2019 as a World School Sport Championships.

    Building The Future of Esports Betting & Entertainment Nasdaq: GMBL Esports Entertainment Group (GMBL) is a Nasdaq-listed company Building the Future of Esports Betting and Entertainment. 3 What is esports? • Esports is organized competitive video gaming that is watched as a spectator event. Esports were already the fastest growing subsector of digital entertainment, and Covid-19 has only accelerated this trend. • The Esports audience is very valuable for advertisers because it is young, digital native and affluent. Research has found that esports fans are more likely to be influenced by their favorite team being sponsored by a brand than traditional sports fans are. • Despite the vast amount of eyeballs, Esports remain dramatically under-monetized relative to traditional sports. We believe wagering will play a major role in helping monetization in the space catch up. GAMING ASCENDANCY: MORE PEOPLE ARE PLAYING MORE There are 2.5B gamers globally (with some estimates as high as 3.5B). 2 out of 3 Americans are gamers. Video gaming is now more engaging than any other social media outlet (FB, Snapchat, IG) with gamers spending 51 minutes on average playing every day. Gaming industry is now bigger than movies or music Sources: Newzoo - 2019 Global Esports Market Report 5 ESPORTS DOMINANCE Esports tournaments have now outstripped all traditional sports events both in terms of viewership and prize pool. In 2019 the League of Legends championship drew a larger audience than the Super Bowl. And the winner of the Fortnite World Cup won more money than Tiger Woods at the Masters.

Guts is one of the team events in the flying disc sports. It is played by two teams of five players each. The official disc of the game is the Pro model Frisbee disc. For informal play, a lightweight, blunt-rim disc such as the 100 G DDC is sometimes used. The playing field consists of two parallel goal-lines 15 m in length and 14 m apart. The teams stand in line opposite each other. Each team defends a goal- line. The disc is thrown back and forth between the teams. The object is to throw the disc through the line of defending players. The throwing team scores a point when the other team does not catch a correctly thrown disc. The receiving team scores a point when the disc is not thrown correctly. When a correctly thrown disc is caught by the other team, no points are scored. The team that first reaches 21 points, wins the game. Tip: if you want you can play with fewer players on a team. Tip: at first you can make the game somewhat easier by suspending the rule that the disc must be caught with one hand. The most important rules. • A game consists of a series of exchanges in which one team throws the disc and the other team attempts to catch the disc. The teams are alternately throwing and receiving: in the next exchange the throwing team becomes the receiving team and vice versa.

  • SPONSORSHIP PLAN on the Road to the World Ultimate & Guts
    From: Rebecca MacPherson Sub-Item 1 Sent: Friday, January 22, 2016 4:27 PM To: Mayor & Council Subject: Sponsorship Proposal Dear Mayor Walter Sendzik, I live in your riding and I would like to bring your attention to a sporting event in which I will be participating this summer. I currently play competitive ultimate and I have been selected to represent Canada at the World Ultimate and Guts Championships in London, UK in 2016. Our team of 27 players will compete in the women’s masters division (30+ years old) against teams from other countries including Japan, Finland, Italy, Germany, Columbia and the USA. The tournament, which will run from June 18 to 25, 2016, showcases the best talent from around the globe, as each country participating in the event sends only one team per division. Ultimate, a fast-growing sport that values spirited fair play at all levels from recreational to elite, was granted full recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 2015. The sport is played in more than 80 countries around the world in elementary and high schools, in college, in recreational leagues, by competitive club teams and in two professional leagues in North America. To represent Canada to the best of our abilities, my team is seeking sponsorship and financial support to help us achieve our goal of winning the tournament. The core of our team (which is based in Montreal) won gold while representing Canada in 2014 at the World Championships and we are excited to have the opportunity to do it again. Your participation in our fundraising campaign will help cover some of the costs inherent in undertaking this adventure, including player fees, tournament and travel costs, field rental for practices, etc.
