Hi, Earlier this year, The Rylands (formerly MLU:UK) experimented with an alternative ruleset to Ultimate, which included active referees making all the calls & deciding upon all the rulings in the game.
Six All-Star regional teams competed under the close watch of the referees, to see how the experiment worked out, and - more importantly for some - to be victorious in proving their region to be the strongest in the UK & Ireland. Since the dawn of Ultimate, questions have been asked: Are referees are needed to take the sport into the mainstream? Would the game still be playable? What effect would referees have on the Spirit of the Game? The closest we have come to answering the last two questions is shown in The Rylands DVD. If you ever, ever want to have a fully informed discussion about the role of referees in Ultimate, or even hold a justified opinion on the matter, you owe it to yourself to watch this DVD. The trailer includes some of the most outrageous, firey, extreme moments from the weekend, and none of the calm stuff, so please don't draw any conclusions from it. It is exciting, though... http://www.pushpass.co.uk/rylands/index.html The price has been kept low - £6.99 - as I think it's important that plenty of people get to see this. Order before 3rd September for free postage to any doorstep in the world! Shipping 10th September.
