Fall 2023:

MUD is offering a Saturday Mixed League and a Sunday “Casual” League.

Gender ratios for leagues are expressed as: Defenders of Men (“DoMs”) / Defenders of Womxn (“DoWs”) / Defenders of Choice (“DoCs”). DoC (a player who is given the choice to choose in the binary, primarily intended for gender-expansive players)

Saturday Mixed League – experienced players

    • Full-Field 7v7 ultimate and a gender ratio of 3 DoM / 3 DoW / 1 DoC (**NOTE** The gender ratio will be determined by the number of DoW and DoC registrants we receive. We will notify registrants if we do not believe we can maintain this gender ratio through the season prior to the season starting.)
    • Games will tentatively begin Saturday, September 16th, with playoffs tentatively on November 18th. Note, playoffs may be played at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx or Randall’s Island due to field space
    • Each week teams will either have a Morning Time Slot schedule or an Afternoon Time Slot schedule on a rotating basis
    • 1 or 2 games per week depending on Morning slot (1) or Afternoon slot (2) in Central Park’s North Meadow, approximately 98th – 100th streets.
  • Morning Time Slot: One game played between 9:00am – 11:00am
  • Afternoon Time Slot: Two games played between 1:00pm – 5:00pm (or until dark)

Sunday Casual League – newcomers welcome!

    • Full-field 7v7 Mixed Ultimate, with teams being drafted with a 5:1:1 or 4:2:1 ratio based on registrations. In-game ratios will be flexible based on that day’s attendance.
    • Games begin Sunday, September 17th, with playoffs on Sunday, November 19th
    • Each week teams will either have a Morning Time Slot schedule or an Afternoon Time Slot schedule on a rotating basis
    • 1 or 2 games per week depending on Morning slot (1) or Afternoon slot (2) in Central Park’s North Meadow, approximately 98th – 100th streets.

  • The Fall 2023 MUD league Fees are:
    • $75 for Saturday Mixed League
    • $75 for Sunday Casual League
    • $135 for both Saturday Mixed League and Sunday Casual League
    • We will NOT be providing league shirts and discs for this season.
  • Student Discount: $10 off to those aged 18-23. Please sign up for your desired league(s), and we will refund the discount to anyone eligible based on the Date of Birth you put in your site registration. This can stack with the first-timer or referral discounts.
  • First-Timer Discount: $20 off for any player new to the league (their first season).  You should see this automatically applied at check-out. This cannot be stacked with the referral discount
  • Referral Discount: $20 off if you refer someone new to the league (i.e., playing their first MUD season).  To claim it, mention the person’s name during registration, and they should mention your name during their site sign-up, and we will refund you the discount.  Does not stack with your own first-timer discount.
  • Affordability: We want everyone to feel they can play with us, no matter their means.  We have both discounted and complimentary roster spots reserved for players for whom the registration fees are a burden, but who would otherwise play.  If this applies to you, please check the “affordability” box during registration, and someone from MUD leadership will reach out to find a way to make it work for you.
  • The Refund Policy for league fees is as follows:
    • Full refund if you withdraw from the league before teams are assigned or are not assigned a team.
    • Half refund if you withdraw from the league after teams are assigned.
    • No refund if you withdraw from the league more than two weeks after the season begins.

Details for All Leagues

  • DoM Registration for the mixed league is now based on lottery
    Those who fail to get in via lottery will have the option of a full refund, being added to a waitlist, or playing in the Sunday casual league. Waitlisted players will be refunded at the end of the season if they never get entry into the league or when they request to be withdrawn from the waitlist whichever comes first
  • COVID-19 Policy: At the current time, MUD is not requiring vaccination to participate, but will be asking players to fill out a weekly screening form before playing.  The league may adjust this policy based on further guidance from State and Federal authorities, or in response to changes in the public health situation.
  • We expect better than 50% attendance from all players. If you will not be able to attend more than half of the games, please do not register. If your attendance at the end of the season was below 50% without prior communication with captains and league commissioners, you may be automatically waitlisted from future seasons.
  • If Central Park or Van Cortlandt Park is closed from rain, we may relocate games to Randall’s Island or Riverside Park, depending on permits and commissioners’ discretion.  No make-up games will be scheduled for any canceled games, except for playoffs if needed and dependent on field availability.
  • All players must be at least 18 years old by September 16th.
  • Players may register for one or both leagues.
    • If you wish to play in both leagues, please indicate this in the registration form and pay for both leagues. If you are only drafted into one league, MUD will refund you the difference.
  • Baggage requests are limited to one other person per league. Requests must be entered during registration, and each player must specifically request the other player as baggage.
    • We strive to facilitate all baggage requests whenever possible, but sometimes we are unable to fulfill baggage due to space/skill/spirit concerns. Please let us know why you are baggaging and we will be sure to consider that when forming teams. Baggage priority will be given to players who are new to the league, dating, or married.

Please review the League Rules for all MUD Leagues.
