SKILL: Teams must sign up as A or B to indicate relative competitive level.
FORMAT: Dynamic Scheduling will be in effect which means teams will play according to their performance, and that the schedule will be released as the season progresses. Initial schedules will be released for the first 2 weeks. Later schedules will given with at least 1 weeks notice. This also means that you may be likely to play the same team more than once during the season.

ROSTERING RULES: Final rosters are due before the 2nd weekend of games.
A Division – 16 player cap with gender matching balance must be within 2 (ex. 9 men and 7 women, or vice versa, or 8:8). Players in the A division must play in at least 6 games or 3 weekends, to be eligible to play in the tourney.
B Division – No player cap. Players in the B division must play in at least 2 games to be eligible to play in the tourney.
CAPTAINING POLICY: Must have 1 men matching and 1 women matching players as captains.
FREE AGENTS: If you don’t have a team please sign up as a free agent and we will try to get you placed on a team. If there are enough Free Agents to create another team(s), we will help put those teams together. If we can’t find a team for you then we’ll give you a full refund. Please sign up on the Ultimate Central website.
COVID RESTRICTIONS AND VACCINATIONS:
Waivers: Waivers may be required with the ever changing COVID severity. If they are required, they will need to be filled out through Ultimate Central at least 24 hours in advance of gameplay. This would be a requirement to ensure everyone has signed all required waivers for Santa Monica and LAOUT, and so that we have accurate contact tracing in place should someone report they have contracted COVID-19.
COVID Vaccination: COVID Vaccines ARE REQUIRED for Fall Beach League 2021 and for all future leagues. All players will be required to upload a photo of their vaccination card into Ultimate Central during registration as proof of vaccination. Our number one priority for LAOUT members is safety so we hope that this revised policy creates a safe environment for all players to have some fun as we get back into our regular league schedule.
See you all on the sand!
