Without membership of BUSA Ultimate will not receive funding from the World
Student Sports Association based in Germany that funds University teams to
travelabroad to World Student events. World Student Ultimate starts next
year in USA so there is a big pay off. Not least because WSSA (called
something else in Germany) is affiliated to GAISF and all GAISF members
(including WFDF) got 50,000 US dollars from worldsport.com for rights to
advertise and promote their sport.
Just a thought.
