Jaimie,
Are you a student or do you have a full time job....?
Women can compete with men... that is not the issue here... I am sure that Beege and Arum etc... with love the comparison of them to women ;) but the argument/discussion is how to encourage, some of us have persevered anyway, and I can think of a few
women that I hate marking more than I hate marking men, but I think the point is help the less experienced get more confidence in their own abilities once they have started down the rocky road of playing Ultimate.
I know that I have not got the time to organise a tourny myself but I would and will help out anyone that is willing to try... I think that Becca is in the same boat!
Hannah ( Bliss )

To say that women can't compete because of their (lack of) physical
attributes is ridiculous. The top three teams in the country this year all
had 'small' men playing for them (Aram, Kenny, Beege). All of whom I
wouldn't like to mark, cos they can change direction a lot quicker than me.
Similarly I'm sure none of them would want to mark me if I was sprinting
long. Ultimate is not played by 6 foot plus olympic sprinters, it is played
by a wide variety of shapes and sizes. If anyone, man or woman, wants to
make it to the top of the game, they can, and do.
If Rebecca wants to encourage female players, then instead of trying to dump
the responsibility on student teams (who have a hard enough time as it is of
getting respect with in the game as it is), why didn't she stand for the
board of directors and push for it at a national level. If you want
something doing well, do it yourself. If you aren't playing enough, with the
right mix, in the right place, organise a tournament yourelf, make up the
rules and ENJOY.
Jaimie
