You see the same faces more often and have probably played with heaps of the other players on hat teams etc.<BR/><BR/>Realistically, you can't be too cut and pissed off at people because you should know that you could be playing with them in the future, whether its in a year or three.<BR/><BR/>Even in the larger US scene, match diesel has made the same comment, so I guess it still applies.Twatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172707592114747174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31421523.post-14597628399709783282008-05-13T19:14:00.000-04:002008-05-13T19:14:00.000-04:00when I studied abroad in Australia, the high level...when I studied abroad in Australia, the high level open league I played in used a spirit circle. Granted, Australians obviously have a different sport culture, but it does work. And some of the angriest people I've seen in ultimate played in that league. You see them sometimes at Kaimana too. I like the spirit circles, I think it helps the game.Farmer Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173762436659557005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31421523.post-64082523071135774722008-05-13T09:59:00.000-04:002008-05-13T09:59:00.000-04:00Steve is a nice guy; and always has interesting th...Steve is a nice guy; and always has interesting things to talk about.<BR/><BR/>Uni ultimate in the UK has much emphasis on the social side, circles, speeches, 'call games' and handshakes are seen after every game.<BR/><BR/>I was wondering (after your post to Brit disc) if you would be interested in a link exchange?<BR/><BR/>http://ultimate-ramblings.blogspot.comjust some guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640203468282189404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31421523.post-59373306912818004622008-05-13T09:57:00.000-04:002008-05-13T09:57:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.just some guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640203468282189404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31421523.post-74215821046710403752008-05-13T09:17:00.000-04:002008-05-13T09:17:00.000-04:00Hey Jim,I read your blog among other advice.
