Quick FAQ

What is a hat league?
Our hat leagues are where players join individually (or with one friend) rather than as a full team. Players rate themselves during registration, and after registration closes, we form teams based on the player ratings to try and have the most balanced teams possible. Full teams are not permitted to join the fall league.

What is baggage?
To "bag" with someone, associate your registration with someone else's to ensure you get on the same team. So you can bag with your friend, S/O, or whomever you choose, and they will be placed on the same team as you.

What does MMP or FMP stand for?
MMP means male-matchup preferred or male-matching player.
FMP means female-matchup preferred or female-matching player. 

What do Mixed, Open, FMP, MMP mean for the league names?
These reference the format that the league is played in. 

Mixed: Alternating 4MMP/3FMP - 3MMP/4FMP gender-ratio (note: this ratio only applies to outdoor ultimate)
Open: Teams of any gender-matching preferred players, no required ratio on the field
MMP: Only Male-Matching Preferred players can play in this league
FMP: Only Female-Matching Preferred players can play in this league

Agender, gender non-conforming (GNC), genderqueer, or gender fluid players are encouraged to join leagues and match up with the players that they feel most comfortable playing with and marking. The goal is to make all MUFA programs more welcoming and safe for all athletes.

Get Ready for Summer League Playoffs!

The Summer League playoffs are just around the corner, starting on August 7th/8th. Here's everything you need to know about how they work:

Opt-In and Opt-Out:

Main Playoffs: 
Teams are automatically Opted-In to the main playoffs by default, but you have the option to Opt-Out if needed before the playoffs begin.

Consolation Bracket:
Teams are automatically Opted-Out to the consolation playoffs by default, but you have the option to Opt-In before the playoffs begin.

--

If you choose to Opt-In, we expect your team to be available for every scheduled game of that playoff.


Playoff Format:
Teams will be separated into single-elimination brackets, each containing up to eight teams. Your team will play up to three games, depending on if your team wins and the size of your bracket.

Consolation Bracket:
Even if your team loses the first game, don't worry! You can still get involved by choosing to Opt-In to the Consolation bracket. For the Consolation bracket, teams will be placed into single-elimination brackets of up to four teams.

Number of Games:
All teams have the opportunity to play at least two games in the playoffs, and we will make every effort to give teams three games if they wish.

Finals Party:
The top finals for the highest bracket in the Monday/Wednesday (M/W) and Tuesday/Thursday (T/Th) leagues will be held at the Finals Party on August 22nd @ Warner Park. This event is open to all Summer League players, and free food and soda will be provided for all players. The event is BYOB if you wish to partake in age-appropriate beverages. Non-MUFA attendees can attend the event for free, and can purchase a food wristband for $20.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can one-day-a-week teams participate in the playoffs?
   - Yes, one-day-a-week teams can join the playoffs, but please make sure your team can commit to playing twice a week if you Opt-In. If not, you can choose to Opt-Out.

2. How can I see the playoffs schedule?
   - Once the schedules have been generated, simply click on the playoff button in the division menu above, and you'll be directed to the playoff page. You won't be placed into your bracket until the weekend before the playoffs begin.

3. How do I Opt-In/Out of the playoffs?
   - On the front page, go to "My Teams," each team you're on will have a notification above the team card explaining the process. Only team captains can switch this setting.

4. How do I Opt-In/Out of the Consolation Playoffs?
   - This option will appear just like the previous Opt-In/Out settings but only for teams that lose their first game. By default, teams are Opted-Out. Note that teams must Opt-In before Noon of the next day from their match.
   - M/W teams must Opt-In by Tuesday, August 8th, @ Noon.
   - T/Th teams must Opt-In by Wednesday, August 9th, @ Noon.

Fall 2023 Registration Information

Welcome to Fall League! Every league in the Fall League is a 'hat' league. A hat league means you sign up either by yourself or with one friend, and you are placed onto a team with other players by the MUFA league directors. You will get a long-sleeve shirt, and each team can enjoy two free pitchers of beer at the Great Dane after every game. 

This season we will use a lottery system to start registration. In the lottery system, you register for one or more leagues you want to play in, rank them based on preference, and we will randomly select players from the lottery and place them into their highest preferred league that still has space. You can read more details about that here. 

Games will take place at Demetral Park and McGaw Park. Burr Jones has been removed from the rotation while Madison Parks assess strategies to refurbish the field for long-term success.
