2024 BCU AGM – Announcement

The 2024 BCU AGM will take place virtually on Monday, December 9th from 6:30pm-8:00pm.

If you are interested in attending please fill out this FORM. Those who register will be sent the meeting link and AGM documents 2 weeks prior to the AGM.

Those indicating they are interested in running for the Board or Directors or who have New Business for the AGM will be contacted by the General Manager.

By-Law Change

The current Board of Directors will be submitting a substantial change to the current BCU By-Laws at the 2024 AGM.

In short, these changes will align BCU membership with Local Sport Organisation (LSOs) rather than individuals. This model is common among Provincial Sports Organisations (PSOs) and is similar to how Ultimate Canada operates, with PSOs rather than individual players being the voting members at AGMs.

Voting will be weighted to the size of each LSO based on the same calculation Ultimate currently uses to weigh the voting strength of Provinces at their AGM.

It is hoped that this new structure will allow a greater voice for all ultimate community members in BC by allowing their LSO leadership to attend, vote and speak for all of their local members.

Specifics of these changes will be distributed along with the meeting notification and posted on the BCU Website 14 days prior to the AGM.

2024 World Ultimate Championships – Watch Team Canada!

UltiWorld has released the STREAMING SCHEDULE for the 2024 WFDF World Ultimate Championships, taking place Aug 31-Sep 7 from Gold Coast, AUS.

Canada will be sending 3 teams to WUC to carry our flag in the Open, Women’s and Mixed divisions. These teams include a total of 25 players from British Columbia! See TC Rosters HERE.

You can cheer on TC from home by signing up for a STREAMING PACKAGE from UltiWorld. Supporting the broadcast will help to increase the amount and quality of broadcasts in the future. In addition, increase interest from Canada will result in increased coverage of Canada, both later in WUC and for events in the future.

As per the current schedule, the following TC games will be broadcast as part of the UltiWorld Package. These games are only from the Initial Pool Play. Additional TC games will be broadcast later in the week as the event moves to Power Pools, Cross-Over Games and Playoffs.

CUC Junior – Success for BC Based Teams!

BC sent a total of 14 teams, 7 Open and 7 Women’s, to CUC Juniors, played Aug 11-14 in Ottawa, Ontario, and the local clubs came up BIG at the show.

BC teams won 4 of 6 available medals, including the Championships in both divisions, won be Prime’s Dyno teams. These wins were back-to-back championships for both the Women’s and Open divisions. Also on the podium, VUL’s Canyon Open and Women’s teams both won Bronze medals at the event. This accomplishment by these 4 teams, along with strong results from Vortex Women (6th) and Helios Open (4th) speak to the strength AND depth of BC Junior Club teams.

Of note was a strong finish for the Dusk teams from Vancouver Island, who were attending CUC for the first time. Following a strong BCUC Junior event, the Dusk teams came in 9th in Women’s and 6th in Open. Junior Ultimate continues to grow on Vancouver Island and I expect these teams will be pushing for medals at CUC in the near future.

Congratulations to all the BC teams attending CUC 2024.

Women’s Results: Dyno (1st), Canyon (3rd), Vortex (6th), Dusk (9th), Nitro (11th), Eclipse (12th), Helios (15th)

Open Results: Dyno (1st), Canyon (3rd), Helios (4th), Dusk (6th), Vortex (12th), Reign (15th), Nitro (17th)
