Forgive us for having different view of what the spirit is about!  To us 
the spirit of the game is about what happens on the field of play not the 
after game performances.  As far as dodgy calls go, dispute them.  I 
don't recall having any dodgy calls in the game personally, but we are a 
team that believes that spirit means calling fouls, not-ins when there 
has been a clear breach - sometimes this is unpopular but is certainly 
not against the spirit of the game.  We wouldn't ever do anything to 
bring into question the spirit.  One of the most comon breeches of spirit 
that I see all the time is people who land on the line or not in and then 
start celebrating their point whilst the player who has just spotted the 
not-in and made the call takes it back (incorrectly) in the face of the 
celebrations.  This player has wrongly assumed that making the call is 
bad spirited.  Psychologically this is the hardest call to make and 
peoples perception of the spirit (as you demonstrate) feeds on this - and 
you call that the spirit?

As for the end of game call - I say each to their own.  Ours have got 
worse and worse and we prefer to spend our long journies planning 
strategies rather than calls.  Genuine apologies tho for our spokes 
person whose manner of delivery leaves a lot to be desired, needless to 
say we didn't let him talk again!

I would like to echo Scotts sentiments, we also played Red at the weekend in 
what was a closely (and fairly) contested game.  Red scored a "point" with 1 
minute to go but one of our players called a stall-out, Red accepted this 
and consequently we scored to win the game, I know, your thinking this is 
not the first time that Chevron has done this (in fact this is fast becoming 
our favourite play!!) but my point is about the spirit the Red players 
showed in accepting the call.  After the game Duncan made a speech and 
"We're Red we don't call" was stated but that doesn't mean the spirit wasn't 
there, the calls in the game were talked about and Red and Chevron exchanged 
congratulations. Sorry Rob but I cannot see your reasoning behind  thinking 
that Red are bad spirited just because they can't think of an entertaining 
call, but then I don't know what happened in the game or in the get together 
afterwards - just trying to put another teams perspective on the matter.

Well spotted evryone for my silly mistake. I did not mean Strange Blue by Blue, 
I meant another team and decided to call them Blue. Stupid of me. I apologise 
to any member of Strange Blue who may have been offended, we have played you 
once, as far as I can remember, and it was played in excellen spirit. Most 
people at Nationals can guess who 'Blue' (Not the Strange variety) are if they 
played them.

Second I was refering to after game calls, not calls made during the game 
itself.

Thirdly, Scott, thanks for the reply. I totaly agree with what you said 
about dodgy in-calls, fouls and so on, beleive me I have seen enough in my 
time, particularly when playing with a certain Bud Tilton (isn't it 
amazing how much people suddenly start travelling when you play against 
him?). You said that in your view spirit is just what goes on in the game, 
but I think it is more than that, it is how teams and individuals approach 
Ultimate, before during and after games, from the captains tossing the 
disks and shaking hands to the after game calls. Often the only chance to 
repair any damage caused by the game is imediately afterwards during the 
post game bit, as people soon have other things on their mind, like beer. 
And if you leave it, too often it ends up being too late and your team 
decide that the opposition were bad spirited. At Leeds one of the Jesters 
came up to me, after the end of game calls, to tell us what they thought 
one of our supporters, who had been particularly vocal about one in-call 
during the game, and then even more vocal about the spirit of the 
decision. And I have to say that I totaly agreed with him, our supporter 
was out of line, and had no right to go on like he did and it brought the 
whole tone of the game down slightly. But I guess that's something to 
learn from.

Finally could someone clear a point up for me. If the offense have the 
disc on the edge of the zone, and the deffense are playing zone d, does 
the double team rule still apply, or can the defense have as many people 
around the disc as they like, as long as the second, third etc player is 
in the zone? A simple reply will do. Sorry for all the spelling mistakes 
and maths errors (Come on, I'm and Engineer, what do you expect?), hope to 
see you all soon,

Is'nt this just highlighting the need for two spirit groupings - on and off
the pitch?? The spirit of play - sportsmanship, karma and stuff is quiet
different from partying spirit.

If we are to encourage both forms of spirit, and I certainly feel we
should, do'nt we have to recognise them and reward them seperately??

This is one for tournament organisers rather than players only you have the
power to make it so. If this is a view you support?...

Just thoughts from the backbenches,

Happy Easter - Moos,

Trevor.

If you are refering to the call made in our game then you have missed the 
point completely.  A double team was called when your own (offensive) 
team had more than one of your own players within three meters of the 
disc (two others infact).  Just so long as those players are within that 
area the defnece can move in to mark them.  In other words if you have 
three of your own players within thre meters of the disc so can the 
opposition.  Is that what this is all about?
