The Nanaimo Ultimate Association is hosting their 18th annual frisbee tournament this weekend, on March 28th & 29th.

Ultimate Frisbee is a fast-paced non-contact sport, similar to football, using a frisbee with end zones. Sportsmanship and good competitive spirit is a primary focus of the game, which is self-refereed, allowing players on the field to co-operatively enforce the rules together.

The high level of endurance, agility and team dynamics draws both crossover athletes from other activities, as well as individuals who are drawn to more alternative sports. This weekend’s tournament, known as “Udderbowl,” has attracted hundreds of players each year, for over 18 years. Players converge on Nanaimo coming from the entire Pacific Northwest region, competing for both the overall championship title, as well as for a memorial ‘spirit of the game’ trophy. Ultimate players range in age from teens to 60+, and this tournament, along with all of Nanaimo’s league play, is co-ed.

Udderbowl will be held all day Saturday and Sunday March 28th & 29th at the McGirr sports fields, behind Dover Bay school, off Hammond Bay Road.
