October 26, 2017 by Charlie Eisenhood in News with 0 comments

Yesterday, USA Ultimate released the Spirit Scores from the 2017 National Championships. Johnny Bravo, Metro North, and Heist were the top-scoring teams in their respective divisions.

USAU now uses the same spirit scoring rubric as the World Flying Disc Federation, which asks teams to rate their opponent in five categories: Rules Knowledge and Use, Fouls and Body Contact, Fair-Mindedness, Positive Attitude and Self Control, and Communication. Scores in each category range from 0-4, where 2 is considered “good.” That means that an aggregate score of 10 is considered “good,” a 15 is “very good,” and a 20 is “excellent” and is supposed to be reserved for rare cases of truly exceptional spirit.

Here are the full scores from Nationals (detailed breakdown here):
