UPA Becomes "USA Ultimate" and Launches New Website
Finally, the UPA's confusing and convoluted website has been re-done. Praise the Hammer of Thor!
But that's not the end of it by a long shot. Turns out the UPA has transformed itself in many other ways, too-- new name, new logo, new look, new focus, new items in the vending machines at their corporate office, etc.

Do You Read the Scoober?
UPLA puts out a monthly newsletter called the Austin Scoober. (All of the articles from the most recent edition are listed on the left curb of the Home page.) The primary goal of the Scoober is to provide locally relevant Ultimate information to all Austin players in a way that is both interesting and fresh.
A great effort is made to make sure each article is reasonably well-written and entertaining in its style. Not every topic will be of interest to every reader, but our aim is for all articles to achieve a quality standard that you can count on.
Contributors to the Scoober are welcomed from all corners. If you have an idea for an article, write it up and let's get it into the next issue. If you are not so much the "writer" type yourself, suggest your idea to anyone on the UPLA board and let's see what happens.
