The World Flying Disc Federation is proud to call for nominations for the 2016 WFDF Athletes` Commission elections to be held during the World Ultimate and Guts Championships 2016 in London.

Please refer to the information linked here on tasks of the Commission and conditions for nominations. Nominations must be sent to WFDF under ed(at)wfdf.org no later than 8 June 2016 and include a disc sport related CV.

The purpose of the WFDF Athletes Commission is to promote open communication with, and solicit feedback from, flying disc athletes, and give them a formal role in the decision-making process of WFDF.  The WFDF Athletes Commission will have as its main focus the issues facing athletes in the sport of Ultimate, as this is our largest disc sport constituency and the one that is involved in the World Games.

After elections for three (3) additional members at WUGC 2016, the Commission will consist of a maximum total of six (6) members going forward.

To be eligible, a candidate must be a participant in the current World Championships or have participated in a World Championship within the previous four years. In each election, there must be at least one male and one female member elected. For further questions please contact Ryan Purcell, Athlete`s Commission Chair, under: purcell.ryan(at)wfdf.org .
