The Philippine Ultimate Association (PUA) is the governing body of all disc-related sports and activities in the Philippines. We are a non-stock, non-profit volunteer organization of enthusiastic Ultimate players who organize regular tournaments, training exercises and other activities for Ultimate players.
See who's on the current board.
Will Steedman gives us the word on what went down in Singapore last weekend:
semis highlights vs Mochi
Hey disc peeps,
Just putting in some links for those of you who want to see some of the results for Singapore. Tournament was awesome…we had a team from mostly Philippines plus a few guys from Taiwan, few girls from Singapore, and J-lo.
Few newcomers to the squad stepped up and were awesome. The Singapore girls were solid defenders, Manila came up with some big plays, our two guys from Taiwan were anchors on the O and D handler positions, Mark (the new whiteboy) was laying out everywhere, and Nina from Circus was a monster!
Everyone played well and contributed, and we won an awesome semi 15-14 vs the team we lost to in final last year by one point (Mochi)….which is much of Black Flag from Spirits. We then played Freakshow in the finals in the longest game ever (over two hours) and won 17-14 in a pretty close game.
Here is write-up of tournament on Singapore Ultimate site:

Perhaps it was the week-long lay-off or maybe all the parties in-between, but something didn’t feel right. Our “D” line was having problems with their offense and our “O” line was sluggish on defense. Despite the early setbacks, we still took the first half at 6-2.
