Answers to our most common questions!

General Questions:

Can I volunteer at the tournament even if I know nothing about Ultimate?

Absolutely! To pull this off we need 100’s of volunteers to fulfil roles across a wide range of skills. There are some ultimate specific game official roles, but also twice as many roles that don’t need a drop of ultimate knowledge. You can volunteer for the whole week or just register for a single shift just head over to register on the Volunteers page!

Do spectators have to buy tickets?

Yes. In order to cater for spectators at this event we have to provide appropriate facilities and build infrastructure (like a 3000 seat grandstand!) and it’s this cost should not be bourn by participants. You can purchase tickets here. If you are a Team Guest then please contact your Team Manager to obtain your pre-purchased Spectator tickets.

Will the tournament be live streamed?

Yes! Full details will be found here when they are set. Please be aware as a participation event, live streaming will be limited.

What time do games start on the Opening Day?

Games start at 9am on Sunday 28th June with the Opening Ceremony in the afternoon. Please do attend as there will be a few show games to enjoy afterwards and we hope to capture the moment when 4000+ Ultimate players and fans come together!

What day & time are the finals taking place?

You can find the final times on the Event Programme.

Where can I find the event game schedule?

The event schedule is typically published several weeks prior to the event. This varies due to the changing circumstances of teams, players and even venues, however every effort is made to publish as early as possible. Once the game schedule draft is published you can find it here.

Participant Questions:

What does the Team Guest Fee provide me?

Team Guests are a class of Spectator that travel and/or are accommodated with a team. They are not officially part of the team but have access to book into tournament accommodation & transport. They do not receive a Tournament Gift, nor have access to official game sidelines, meetings or medal ceremonies, but do receive a week long Spectator Pass. If you are a Team Guest then please contact your Team Manager to obtain your pre-purchased Spectator pass.

What does the Team Staff Fee provide me?

Team Staff (non-playing team support) are officially part of the team but not on the playing roster. Team Staff differ from Team Guests or Spectators in that Team Staff receive a Tournament Gift, have access to official game sidelines, meetings and medal ceremonies, as well as access to book into tournament accommodation, transport and attend the party.

I have a question about my Tournament Accommodation?

All campus dorm & hotel accommodation queries should be directed to the Nottingham Venues accommodation team with whom you have contracted the rooms frisbee@nottinghamvenues.com

Do you have any massage beds we can hire?

Yes! Massage Bed Hire will open by the middle of May and we will offer our stock of beds to teams to hire for a nominal amount on a first come first serve basis.

What time are the Dining Hours at the Tournament Accommodation?

Dining Hours are Breakfast: 06.00 - 09.00 & Dinner: 18:00 - 21:00. We will adjust these as necessary should there be any delays to the daily schedule. These are set so that you have time to eat before heading out to warm up for your first game and with plenty of time to get back after your last game. There will also be food (and great coffee) for sale at the playing venues & tournament village throughout the day!

Is there any childcare available at the tournament?

There is a youth ultimate camp running alongside WMUCC for children aged 5-17. You can find full details, inc. costs and booking form here. Unfortunately we cannot provide an option for children under the age of 5. We appreciate you may wish to see a schedule before booking.
