Tournament organizer Ed Pulkinen said having the event at one sight will be a great benefit.
"I love it because it's manageable when we have a facility that we can stay on the entire day," Pulkinen said. "Many times, we've had to split locations and that means we have to split the human resources and physical resources we have. Trying to find those resources in the middle of the week can be difficult."
Ultimate, formerly known as Ultimate Frisbee, is a combination of football and soccer according to the Ultimate Players Association's Web site. The game is played with two teams of seven with a flying disc. The object of the game is to catch a pass in the opponent's end zone. A player must stop while in possession of the disc, but can pivot and pass to any other receiver.
"This is not toss and catch," Pulkinen said. "When I played competitive Ultimate, I put a pedometer on my foot at a two-day tournament and I ran 17 miles that week. It's a lot of running."
