http://www.upa.org/pickup/listings/Japan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 12:40 PM To: Disrail Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BD] Ultimate in Japan Hi Doug, Buzz Bullets and MUD of Japan are the current World Club title holders in Open and Women's respectively, so that should tell you something. From what I learned of women's ultimate in Japan from asking a few club players at Worlds '06, it is roughly 4 times bigger than in the UK (60 competitive women's club teams). I'm guessing you could probably extrapolate in a similar way for Open? Anyway, I'm willing to bet ultimate in Japan is a fair bit bigger than in the UK. However, I also know most of Japanese ultimate is strongly developed through Universities, and most club teams have close links to a Uni team. Therefore, I don't know how easy it would be to find a team in cities without a university. So depends how small these places are that you are intending to visit.
