Where can I find the event game schedule?

The event schedule is typically published several weeks prior to the event. This varies due to the changing circumstances of teams, players and even venues, however every effort is made to publish as early as possible. Once the game schedule draft is published you can find it here.

What are the fees?

Does my fee include Insurance?

No it does not. The event holder is insured but insurance is not provided to each participant as part of their fee. All participants must ensure they are insured whilst attending the event. All event participants (athletes, coaches and team support) are recommended to obtain travel insurance prior to booking flights and health insurance before leaving your home country. WFDF and the LOC do not provide coverage for participants outside of the general first aid administered at the fields. There are always risks associated with playing Ultimate and travelling. Although WJUC will have medical staff on site to deal with first aid and assess critical injuries, there may be injuries or illness in which players need follow up medical attention or emergency visits to local hospitals. There is general information about medical treatment and costs for visitors to the UK here.

WFDF and the LOC kindly request that all players and event participants acknowledge these risks and understand that WFDF and the LOC cannot be held liable for any risk or cost associated with injury or bad health at WJUC. All event participants should alleviate some personal financial liability by purchasing your own travel and health insurance to make sure you are covered for any medical issues or event/travel cancellations that could arise. Participants will be required to sign an Event Participant Agreement published in advance of the event.
