MLU vs Club Roster: Philadelphia

With Major League Ultimate's season being scheduled before the Club Ultimate season, it makes sense that teams would draw from Club-level players. Nearly two-thirds of the Spinners' roster are Southpaw players, with the remainder as former Southpaw teammates, as well as from AMP, Termite's Revenge and Philly Gavel.

Philadelphia Spinners' 2013 roster was compared to Southpaw's roster. Out of the 23-person MLU roster, 15 (65%) are Southpaw players. Also, the Spinners have 13 players returning from their 2012 roster - the most of any(!) MLU team. Thanks to Ryan Thompson who assisted with identifying Philly players.

MLU vs Club Roster: Vancouver

With Major League Ultimate's season being scheduled before the Club Ultimate season, it makes sense that teams would draw from Club-level players. Over two-thirds of the Nighthawks' roster are Furious George players, with the remainder as former Furious teammates, as well as from Team Fisher Price & UBC (Knapp).

Vancouver Nighthawks' 2013 roster was compared to the Furious' 2012 roster. Out of the 25-person MLU roster, 17 (68%) are Furious George players. Thanks to Ryan Thompson who helped identify the non-Furious players, as well as the ex-Furious players rostered on Ultimate Canada 2012 teams.

MLU vs Club Roster: San Francisco

With Major League Ultimate's season being scheduled before the Club Ultimate season, it makes sense that teams would draw from Club-level players. The majority of the Dogfish roster are Revolver players, with the remainder from Bay Area club teams (Boost Mobile, Polar Bears, Blackbird, GrasSFace & Mischief).

San Francisco Dogfish 2013 roster was compared to the Revolver 2012 roster. Out of the 23-person MLU roster, 14 (61%) are Revolver players. Based on published 2012 rosters, there are also 9 (39%) Dogfish players from other Bay Area club teams - Boost Mobile (5); Polar Bears, Blackbird, GrasSFace & Mischief (each mixed club team with 1).

MLU vs Club Roster: Boston

With Major League Ultimate's season being scheduled before the Club Ultimate season, it makes sense that teams would draw from Club-level players.

Boston Whitecaps 2013 roster was compared to Boston Ironside's 2012 roster. Out of the 25-person MLU roster, 13 (52%) are Ironside players.

MLU vs Club Roster: DC

With Major League Ultimate's season being scheduled before the Club Ultimate season, it makes sense that teams would draw from Club-level players. DC's roster is nearly two-thirds Truck Stop players.
