Greetings, fellow ultimateers,

The Game that Time Forgot (a.k.a. Forest Hills Competitiveless Ultimate) is
resuming its Tuesday night schedule TONIGHT at 6 PM, now that Daylight
Saving Time has given us an extra hour of light.

*Howzit?*
It's good. More relaxed than league or other pickup play, it's great for
practicing positions you don't normally play, for getting beginners into the
game, for getting together with some really cool people of all ages (middle
school through old timers), for simply enjoying the game.

*Wherezit?*
The game will be here:
http://tinyurl.com/385lv3

or use Google Maps to find "Forest Hills Park, Durham, NC"
We play on the western (Chapel Hill) side of University Dr., right next to
University; best parking is along W. Forest Hills Dr. Angled parking
(instead of parallel) usually works best for getting lots of cars in.

*Whatzit?*
The Game that Time Forgot is an old, old game. No sidelines, no stall count,
no back of the end zone, lots of spirit of the game. If you want to run like
the wind, folks will tell you that you're welcome to come out and do so. If
you're like me and still need to build up to running like the wind, we're
out there, too. It's all about participation.

*Howmuchplayingzit?*
Depends. What typically happens is that we have one field going until we get
enough people (and have enough space) to open a second field, which tends to
be an even more relaxed game (dwindles to a single game when numbers drop
again). We're all about playing.

*Whatsafterzit?*
Often, we get together for supper. Don't know if I'll be there or not;
someone feel free to get folks together for something to eat post-play.

*Whatsthebestwaytokeepupwithzit?*
Join the e-mail group - fhplayers at yahoogroups.com (cc:'d above). If you get
an extra five e-mails a week, it's a busy week.

So - if you're in the area, or if you want to *be* in the area, come on out.
Cost, as always, is free.

BTW: Some of us may get together for lunch afterwards; feel free to join in.

Hope to see you tonight!

yrs,
twicker
