Question from Spain

  • What is exactly the status for Beach Ultimate. EBUC is organized by WFDF. What about EBUCC ? BULA has announced EBUCC in 2022.

  • Beach ultimate is a discipline, like Ultimate and DIsc-Golf. The future organization for Beach Ultimate is to be decided (specific federation or other).
  • In the meantime, European Championships are under EFDF responsibility. EFDF will contact BULA to discuss EBUCC.
