Contact details for the organisers are included if you do have further questions. Contacts Tournament director: Martyn Blakemore Accommodation organisers: Kiran Patel Jarrell Moncrieffe Party organisers: Holly Herdman Eddie O Donnell UK Ultimate Events Coordinator: Meg Price events@ukultimate.com Venue Address: Bath Sports Training Village University of Bath Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7AY Directions: The University campus is located in Claverton Down, on the east side of Bath. You should be able to find the university easily using the address above and the university is well sign-posted in the local area. It is easiest to enter by the main entrance (Norwood Avenue). You should see a large University of Bath sign as you enter. Norwood Avenue is highlighted in red on the map below. The Sports Training Village (STV) is the largest sports complex on the University and houses several of the sports activities and facilities available on campus. The STV is very easy to find. If you enter by Norwood Avenue, the complex will appear on the right hand side after approximately 300 metres (see map). The entirety of the tournament will take place in the main hall inside. Please be aware that the hall has a maple hardwood floor. Players must wear appropriate indoor non-marking shoes (NO boots, NO studs). That also means no warm ups outdoors unless you are changing shoes! For specific questions about the pitches feel free to Kiran. Parking: The best parking option is to use the pay and display areas available on campus. They are highlighted in orange on the map below. There are machines on site which accept credit card and cash. There is a 2 for using the site on Saturday and allows you to stay for as long as you wish from 8am to 5pm (Parking is free after 5 on Sat, so you can leave vehicles on site). There is no fee on Sunday. Please refrain from using any other parking bays aside from those marked below as they are reserved for permit holders and you may be fined. If you plan on traveling to Bath with a mini bus, please park in the dedicated parking area for coaches highlighted in blue below. We ask this as there are spaces dedicated for larger vehicles.

2 Security may fine minibuses that park in the regular parking bays. Note, you still have to pay to use this parking slot. There are plenty of available changing rooms, showers and toilets in the downstairs area near the sports hall. Ask at the TD desk if you can t find them. Arrival: Please report to the TD desk on arrival to receive any new instructions or any changes to this information. Tell the receptionists at the desk that you are there for the tournament and they will let you through, ask for directions to the hall, but you should be able to see the TD desk from the reception. There will not be a separate captain s meeting, but every team should make sure that a representative checks in on arrival. If you don t, don t blame us when you don t know what s going on! Gear: Don t take all your stuff into the playing area, and certainly don t leave it on the edges of the pitch. Bags on sidelines are dangerous. Times : Games will run from approx. 12pm to 7pm on Saturday, and from 9am to 6pm on Sunday. Please be aware that the facility closes at 7pm on both Saturday and Sunday so swift exits will be required on Saturday. Paper and Printing We DON T intend to print out schedules and copies of this pack for every team. Please make sure you bring your own (or ensure you can access it through your phone) if you need a copy. There will be a large up to date copy at the TD desk throughout the weekend of course.

3 Safety Please remember that it is never worth endangering yourself or others to get the disc. Walls and floors are hard, and your body will not react well to crashing into them at speed. Please do remain aware of other players and your surroundings. Food and Drink There is a café on site in the STV serving an array of hot and cold food and drink options. It is open 8-5PM on both Saturday and Sunday. There are also several vending machines on site which sell sweets, small snacks and drinks. There are also several other food options available on campus. You may eat at our Student Union` bar and any of the cafés and canteens on campus. We also have a fully stocked co-operative shop. All the food options are a 5-10 minute walk from the Sports Training Village and accept credit/debit cards. That said there are also cash machines on site. Directions and advice will be available at the TD desk. Water will be available from the tap outside the pitches. Other drinks can be bought at the vending machines on site.

4 Please do NOT take food or drink into the hall itself, other than water in a properly sealed container. Also ensure that all waste is properly disposed of in the correct bins. Accommodation & Party Requests for accommodation can be made via a survey on the South West University Ultimate facebook group via a survey that has been posted on there. Once filled out we will contact you with details of where you will be staying. Please note the deadline for applying for accommodation is 01/11/18. Contact Kiran if you have any queries. There will be a nominated pub to meet at on Saturday evening - this will be advertised at the Tournament Desk on the weekend. Spirit of the game Spirit scores will be entered through an online form, which can be found here: You should be able to access the form on your smartphone (or one of your team-mates phones some models seem to struggle more than others) and facilities may be available at the TD desk to input your scores if you can t get it to work. Make sure that you enter your scores before midnight on Sunday 11th November otherwise they WILL NOT be counted. This is following changes to the Spirit of the Game at UKU Events by the SotG Committee. Please also note the other changes as outlined by the committee in the announcement linked above.
