A few things to add:
1) While Ultimate will not be appearing in the Olympics anytime soon, Ultimate is part of the World Games which is also held every 4 years.
2) The Singapore Ultimate Open is the largest tournament in the Asian circuit but it would be debatable if it is the best tournament around. For those who are new, there is typically at least one major tournament every month in Asia. For example: February=Bangkok; June=Shanghai; September=Singapore; December=Vietnam.
3) Ultimate has been played in Malaysia definitely longer than 5 years. The sport has, however, experienced its biggest growth during these last 5 years. Publicity may seem little, but several articles have appeared in the Star newspapers and has even appeared on TV on NTV7's Breakfast show and also 8TV.
I would definitely recommend/encourage anybody here to come out and give a try. This is the best part of Ultimate - it is an easy sport to learn and all the players are very open. It is a team sport but anybody can just show up and "join the team" so don't worry about not having team right now, just come out!
uhuk: Yes, we did play today. And we will be playing next Saturday.... and the next Saturday.... and the next..... you get the picture.
Added on June 28, 2008, 11:34 pmBTW, if anybody wants a disc, I do have a few MyDiscs (locally-made discs) and some Malaysia Ultimate Discrafts discs as in the picture on the first page (Discraft is the official disc used at major tournaments)
Personally, I prefer Discrafts.
Kuan, did you just joined this forum so you can reply here ?
hehe
Ya, I guess I don't have enough experience to comment on the tournaments in the region
For what its worth, I heard Bangkok Hat is a bloody fun tournament too
