The WFDF World Ultimate Club Championships (WUCC) are held every 4 years, bringing together the best ultimate club teams from around the world for a 7 day competition.

The first WUCC was held in Cologne, Germany in 1989, and until 1999 was held every 2 years. Other host cities have been Toronto, Canada (1991), Madison, Wisconsin, USA (1993), Millfield, UK (1995), Vancouver, Canada (1997), St Andrews, Scotland, UK (1999), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA (2002) and Perth, Australia (2006).

The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) owns WUCC, determines hosting rights, allocates team slots to its member National Associations and oversees all technical aspects of the competition. Information on the history, activities and future events of the World Flying Disc Federation can be found on the WFDF website.

WFDF granted hosting rights for WUCC 2010 to the Czech Flying Disc Association in 2008. The WUCC 2010 Organizing Committee began forming during 2007, and all key roles were filled by the winter of 2008. The Committee has considerable experience in the management of frisbee sporting events, and many of them were members of the 2001 European Ultimate Club Championships organizing committee.

Rules for Photographers and Journalists
Please note there are general rules of the game that apply to all. You are not allowed to enter fields during a game and you have to keep a distance from the side lines at least of 3 meters at any moment. You must not be in a way of players during a game. We kindly ask you to respect these rules.

Access to fields and taking pictures for non commercial use are for free. No accreditation is needed as there are enormous of people interested in that and we do not want to regulate it.

If you use your pictures for some newspapers, magazines or internet sites please let us know and send us a copy for archivation purposes for the event and also for WFDF.

There will be restricted areas at Vrsovice main stadium however these restricted areas do apply only to 8 games out of 700 played during the event, it means to 4 games of the day at Vrsovice area and finals. There is no restriction for Strahov.

As we had too many requests we had to limit the access to restricted areas for TV, Ultivillage and Strizna, official journalists and official photographers. This does not prevent people from taking pictures of these games out of the restricted areas. We want to make the rules as friendly as possible however these very basic and simple rules have to apply.

If a person wants to accompany a team as a photographer we asked these people to register as a guest to have the possibility to use the WUCC transport, access to parties, to get players pack, newspapers etc. Also if that person wanted accommodation with its team the registration was recommended. The registration was closed on 31st May as we needed to prepare the IDs, order the players packages etc. It is not possible to proceed with the registration anymore. If you still want to come you will be allowed to the fields, but not to the parties nor to the transport. Sorry.

If you want to take pictures for commercial purposes a special agreement has to be signed and a fee applies. The fee is 100 eur for up to 20 pictures, 200 eur for 21-50 pictures and 300 eur for more than 50 pictures. This fee has to be paid in advance. Please let us know at media@wucc2010.com if you wish to sell your pictures.

Shall you have any questions please let us know at media@wucc2010.com.

Our official photographers
Neil Gardner – nzsnaps.com
Neil has lived pretty much his entire life in New Zealand and started playing Ultimate in about 1992 at university. He started nzsnaps.com a few years ago to distract him from the day job that really paid the bills. Focussing on extreme sports like downhill mountainbiking, rallying, kiteboarding, wakeboarding etc, as a long time ultimate player he found himself as an official photographer for WUCC2006 in Perth. Playing for the NZ Masters team as well that year, a knee injury dramatically limited his time (and effectiveness) on the field but hooked him on shooting international elite level ultimate. Neil was again an official photographer in Vancouver for WUGC2008, and now he’s making the trip from New Zealand to shoot WUCC2010 here in Prague.

Dave Sanders - ultimatephotos.org
Dave is a Kiwi who has been living mostly in the UK for the last 5 years. ultimatephotos.org developed when he and his wife Kate started taking photos of ultimate tournaments around the world. Still a keen player and World's representive for NZ, every year Dave spends less time running on the field and more time taking photos of other people doing so instead. As a photographer he has dabbled in other sports, landscapes, and the odd wedding, but Ultimate photos are his primary focus, and ultimatephotos.org is where you'll find them.

In addition to these two photographers there are going to be a few local photographers with shooting sport experience David Prucha and Jan Pirgl.

Online games
There will be a Game of the Day every day in both main areas, except on the nights when there are official WUCC parties. The nights when Game of the Day is ON, will be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Friday, instead of a Game of the Day, there will be the Masters final match at Vrsovice. Games of the Day from Discraft Stadium at Vrsovice, plus all four finals will be available online, streamed by the Czech company Strizna.cz (www.strizna.cz). and can be accessed for free at the same web address. Game of the Day at Strahov will be played on field 10 (Morrison Stadium)

Strizna.cz is a relatively new Czech company specializing in the online broadcasting of sport events. You, as well as your friends and family at home, will be able to watch Games of the Day and all the finals games online. Please follow our website for more details.

UltiVillage
The official DVD from WUCC will be produced by UltiVillage. Every team participating at Worlds in Prague will receive one copy of this DVD for free, which will be distributed in October of this year. Each day during the event, UV will bring a video Daily Summary from previous day, a Clip of the Day, and coverage from all divisions. These clips can be found at www.ultivillage.com.

UV was founded in 2004 with the aim of bringing the best ulti tournaments to your TV screen, UV has evolved into an Ultimate focused multimedia production company. For the past 5 years UV has covered the best North American and international tournaments and released video footage on DVD and in Quicktime formats as UVtv downloads.
