OCUA ELECTION REMINDER:

If your team hasn't already... PLEASE VOTE !

The voting deadline is fast approaching. (this week-end).

All Monday and Tuesday teams should have voted (but many haven't
yet; see list below). Wednesday and Women's (Thursday) teams
may still vote during their respective play-off days this week-
end (Sat & Sun) but I would encourage ALL teams to vote
electronically (E-vote) beforehand since this has proven to
be quite effective.

There is only ONE VOTE PER TEAM (not one per player). I would
ask team captains to solicit their team's input and to send
their final choices to S_Suys@hotmail.com.

Please select [up to] FOUR amongst the following candidates:
Butler, Kathy (nee Connelly)
Lange, Ken
Murphy, Deb
Pegg, Larry
Rathburn, Jeff
Seabrook, Steve
Tahirali, Doug
Webb, Jack

Given the high likelihood that some teams wishing to cast their
vote during this week-end's playoff will either forget or be
unable to do so, the E-vote deadline has been EXTENDED BY ONE
DAY UNTIL 6:00PM MONDAY SEPTEMBER 13th to allow those people
to vote electronically on Monday.

NO VOTES WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER 6:00PM on MONDAY Sept 13th.

If you have any questions, please feel free to forward them
on to S_Suys@hotmail.com.

FR'EQUINOX CO-ED TOURNEY:

In keeping with the Ultimate co-ed spirit set forth by other
tournaments, Ottawa Ultimate would like to present the fabulous
fall festival of foolishness, fun, frivolity and frisbee known
only as the Fr'Equinox.

The 4-3 co-ed Fr'equinox tournament will be held on September
18-19, 1999, at the Sod Farm. This is the closest week-end to
the Fall Equinox - the time of the pagan harvest festival, the
time of the witch's thanksgiving, and the time to find balance
in your life as Ultimate wanes with the waxing night in the
continuing cycle of life so fittingly embodied by the disc we
hold so dear.

Most importantly the Fr'equinox party will involve an open
stage for a display of all Ultimate talent (sorry, no gong,
and hopefully no fish in a blender). There will also be
something called 'Guts Karaoke' with rules to be explained
later.

Fees are $200, plus a food hamper for the Food Bank. If you're
interested, please contact Deb Murphy (deborah.murphy@ec.gc.ca,
613-567-3150) or Doug Tahirali (dougtah@achilles.net,
613-231-4662).
