2017 USA ULTIMATE U.S. OPEN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS AND CONVENTION HEALTH AND SAFETY

Medical staff, including athletic trainers, will be on site at Tournament Central to treat injuries, handle emergencies and provide some preventative care. The event will provide standard athletic tape, pre- wrap, ice and some bandages. Other supplies, including special tape or bandages and anti-inflammatory drugs, must be provided by teams or may be charged by the training staff.

If there is an injury on a field that needs medical attention, inform a field marshal, and he or she will radio to the trainers.

If you have medical issues that require attention in the morning before play, please show up early to avoid long lines. The trainers will be at the fields two hours prior to game time each day.

CONCUSSIONS Education • USA Ultimate recommends the CDC “Heads Up Safety” program, a free one-hour online training: cdc.gov/concussion/headsup/youth.html. • USA Ultimate’s participant waiver includes important information from the CDC regarding concussion safety: usaultimate.org/membership/usa_ultimate_membership_forms.aspx

Coaching Requirements • Coaches at USA Ultimate events are required to have completed a concussion awareness and safety recognition program (like the CDC program above or other local or state-recommended course). Coaches should not submit records of course completion to USA Ultimate, but should maintain records on-site while coaching. PLAYER INFO

Removal & Return to Play • All guidelines identified by the CDC must be strictly followed in the event of a suspected concussion. 1. Remove athlete from play. 2. Ensure athlete is evaluated by a health care professional trained in concussion diagnosis and management. Do not try to judge the seriousness of the injury yourself. 3. If a minor, inform athlete’s parents or guardians about the known or possible concussion and give them the fact sheet on concussion. 4. Allow athlete to return to play only with permission from an appropriate health care professional.

Doctor’s Note Requirement • If, during a USA Ultimate event, an athlete receives care at a hospital, medical clinic or doctor’s office, or is referred to a hospital or doctor by event medical staff, the athlete is barred from further competition in that event until he or she provides a doctor’s note, on letterhead or prescription pad, to event medical staff stating that the athlete is authorized to return to competition.

Heat, Nutrition and Hydration • Heat-related illness occurs when body cooling by evaporation is limited. Sweating depletes the body’s salt and moisture, which leads to dehydration. If a player recognizes any signs or symptoms of heat-related illness, he or she should treat the problem immediately.

2017 USA ULTIMATE U.S. OPEN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS AND CONVENTION 11 • Signs and symptoms of heat illness can include changes in level of consciousness, abdominal cramps, nausea/vomiting, fatigue/tingling, chills, inability to spit, dry mucous membranes, decreased output and change in color of urine.

Prevention and Treatment of Heat Illness • Avoid alcohol, caffeine and carbonated beverages. • Medications such as antihistamines, decongestants, certain asthma medications and diuretics can increase risk for heat illness. Avoid them if possible. • Avoid certain nutritional supplements (such as caffeine and ephedrine) that can dehydrate the body and/ or increase metabolism and heat production. • Know your body – be honest! Are you fit enough to perform under current conditions? • Eat and drink (water AND sports drinks) optimally before, during and after play. Potassium is important; good sources include sports drinks, yogurt, grapefruit juice, bananas and oranges. Sodium is also important; good sources include sports drinks, vegetable juices, pretzels, nuts, cheese and crackers. After play, carbohydrates are important: foods such as potatoes, honey, cereal, white bread, corn chips, sports drinks, jelly beans, rice cakes, bagels, crackers and gummy candies. • Don’t drink too much. Over-hydrating can be dangerous if it leads to a fluid and electrolyte imbalance. • Monitor your urine. Clear/copious = hydrated. Dark = Need water/electrolytes. • Be sensitive to prior illness. If you’ve been sick, your body may be more susceptible to dehydration. • Rest and cool down after play. Find shade, wet the skin, get in front of a fan or breeze.

Sideline Safety • Spectators and equipment must stay at least three yards away from the sidelines. Where there are buffer lines, respect them. Chairs, coolers, strollers, you, etc., must be at least three yards from the sidelines. • If a player believes that an object on the sideline is not safe, he or she should inform event staff and refrain from playing until he or she is satisfied that safe conditions have been established. • USA Ultimate and event staff reserve the right to move or remove objects or spectators from on or near the playing field if those conditions are, in the opinion of USA Ultimate or event staff, unsafe for players, staff or spectators.

Lightning Guidelines • Event staff will communicate with players and spectators via PA system and through field marshals equipped with radios if there is lightning danger. Play then will be stopped, and everyone should seek shelter. • Safe shelter for players and spectators at the field site includes any fully enclosed building or vehicle with a hard top and closed windows. • Event staff will use the “flash-to-bang” method to determine when to send people to shelter. By the time the flash-to-bang count has reached 30 seconds, all individuals should be in a safe shelter location. • If you can’t get to a safe shelter, try to avoid being the tallest object in an open field or on open water. Avoid other tall objects, metal objects and water. Assume a crouched position with only the balls of your feet touching the ground, your arms wrapped around your knees and your head lowered. Minimize contact with the ground. Do not lie flat. • Avoid using telephone land lines. Cell phones are safe, provided the person has followed other safety guidelines. • Event staff will indicate to players when play is going to resume. Team captains should meet at Tournament Central to receive instructions for resuming play and any schedule modifications.

2017 USA ULTIMATE U.S. OPEN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS AND CONVENTION SPIRIT OF THE GAME

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SPIRIT OF THE GAME™

1. THE GOLDEN RULE: TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED. Spirited games result from mutual respect among opponents. Assume the best of your opponent. Give him or her the benefit of a doubt. You would want the same for yourself. But if you are thick-skinned, do not assume that your opponent is. Maybe you should think of this rule as, “treat others as you would have them treat your mother.”

2. CONTROL: SOTG TAKES REAL EFFORT. SOTG is not just some abstract principle that everyone adopts and then games run smoothly without effort. Close calls are made in tight games. Hard fouls are committed. SOTG is about how you handle yourself under pressure: how you contain your emotionality, tame your temper, and modulate your voice. If you initiate or contribute to the unraveling of spirit, the concept falls apart quickly. If you act to mend things (or at least not exacerbate the situation) by following (1) above, the game heals itself.

3. HECKLING AND TAUNTING ARE DIFFERENT. Ultimate has a long tradition of good-natured heckling. Heckles are friendly barbs, typically from non- playing spectators. Heckling can be fun, but taunting is unspirited and wrong. Harassing remarks after an opponent’s foul call or close play are NOT heckling: they are abusive taunts which create unpleasant playing conditions and often escalate to acrimonious disputes.

4. SOTG IS COMPATIBLE WITH CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY.

It is a fallacy to argue that the stakes are so important that some aspect of SOTG can be cast aside. PLAYER INFO Time and again, great teams and star players have shown that you can bring all your competitive and athletic zeal to a game without sacrificing fair play or respect for your opponent.

5. DON’T “GIVE AS YOU GOT.” There is no “eye for an eye.” If you are wronged, you have no right to wrong someone in return. In the extreme case where you were severely mistreated, you may bring the issue up with a captain, tournament director, or even lodge a complaint with the governing body. If you retaliate in kind, however, a complaint may be filed against you. We recall point (1): treat others as you would have them treat you, not as they have treated you. In the end, you are responsible for you.

6. BREATHE. After a hard foul, close call, or disputed play, take a step back, pause, and take a deep breath. In the heat of competition, emotions run high. By giving yourself just a bit of time and space, you will gain enough perspective to compose yourself and concentrate on the facts involved in the dispute (was she in or out; did you hit his hand or the disc; did that pick affect the play). Your restraint will induce a more restrained response from your opponent. Conflagration averted, you may resume business as usual.

7. WHEN YOU DO THE RIGHT THING, PEOPLE NOTICE. When you turn the other cheek, you know you’ve done the right thing. You may not hear praise, there may be no standing ovation, but people do notice. Eventually, their respect for you and their appreciation of the game will grow.

2017 USA ULTIMATE U.S. OPEN CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS AND CONVENTION 13 8. BE GENEROUS WITH PRAISE. Compliment an opponent on her good catch. Remark to a teammate that you admire their honesty in calling themselves out of bounds. Look players in the eye and congratulate them when you shake their hands after a game. These small acts boost spirit greatly, a large payoff for little time and effort.

9. IMPRESSIONS LINGER. Not only does the realization that your actions will be remembered for a long time serve to curb poor behavior, it can also inspire better conduct. Many old-timers enjoy the experience of meeting an elite player who remembers their first rendezvous on the field and recalls the event in detail. A good first encounter with an impressionable young player can have considerable long term positive impact.

10. HAVE FUN. All other things being equal, games are far more fun without the antipathy. Go hard. Play fair. Have fun.

SPIRIT CIRCLES

Spirit Circles are an idea borrowed from international competitions throughout the ultimate world. For years, American teams have traveled to world championship events where they have not only done exceptionally well in each competition, but showed the international community the importance we place on respect for the game and their opponents. But American players have also learned a lot from competing against teams from other countries, and invariably one of the most positive parts of the international experience has been the tradition of the post-game spirit circle. While there are a number of ways to do this, here are some quick tips to get your team started:

• .Following each game, rather than lining up to slap hands, the two teams gather into a circle, alternating players on each team, facing inward, with arms around the shoulders of the person next to you. • .One or two people (often team captains or spirit captains) on each team will talk briefly about the game. Usually the losing team goes first, then the winning team. • .Things to talk about can include how the game went, how your own team played, what the other team did well, who on the other team played well and anything else that might be worth communicating, even if it’s something you think could be done better (and don’t forget to look in the mirror on this). • .After each team has had a chance to talk, the winning team takes a step into the circle and walks around counter- clockwise to slap hands with the players on the other team.

That’s it! It’s pretty simple and definitely an experience that brings teams together and puts the game and the experience in perspective. It’s all about respect for each other and the experience of bringing out the best in each other through competition. It’s also about building relationships and seeing opponents for what they really are: part of the same community that loves ultimate. Please note that this is not required and is not meant to replace other post-game traditions you may have (e.g., cheers, games, photos, gifts or trading gear). Good luck, and please let USA Ultimate staff and other event organizers how it goes!

In 2009, Revolver reached the finals but lost to Chain Lightning. From that point, the program continued to rise, and over the next five years, captured four USAU national championships, two WUCC world championships, and one WUGC world championship.
