UWA – Fayetteville, Ark.
For the second year in a row, the University of Kansas HorrorZontals were picked to finish first in the Ozark Section Top 10 Preseason Poll.

The Contrabears went on to claim the section for themselves by defeating Arkansas in the finals, 12-11.
The poll – which is in its second year – consisted of the South Regional Coordinator, the Ozark Sectional Coordinator, representatives from nine teams, and two members of the media. All teams in the section were eligible to vote, although several teams never returned their ballots.

Eleventh Edition Rules
Posted September 22, 2006 by auxarcCategories: News
The UPA Standing Rules Committee has recently been working on the eleventh edition of the Rules of Ultimate. The new edition is mostly rule clarifications at the moment, but there have been some major changes to certain rules.
Currently, the eleventh edition is still in draft form, but the SRC is now allowing players to voice their opinion.
A rules discussion group has been started at google groups to allow players a chance to review the new rules and add suggestions.
The revisions can be seen here.
*Editor’s Note* A great deal of thanks goes out to the SRC and the work that they have done.
