Why does it matter whether a team attended last year’s State Championships?
At this point in the growth of Ultimate it is very possible for a team that did not exist in an organized fashion one year to be a very good team the following year. The UPA recognizes this, but wants to encourage growth in the sport. We believe this will be best achieved by rewarding teams that have shown consistent organization over multiple years. We hope to encourage the team that just became organized this year to attend the state tournament this year so that next year they can put in an application for the regional championship tournament.
