Dates and venue
Talampaya 2022 will take place on 4-6 June 2022 at the usual venue, Centre sportif de Vessy, Geneva, Switzerland. 8 grass fields and 4 turf fields available for 3 days of ultimate and fun.
Two divisions at Talampaya 2022
Talampaya 2022 will have two divisions: “Elite” and “Ultimate Lover”. Why? To guarantee a maximum of games between well-matched teams.
The “Elite” division is for national teams and elite club teams, for example that have/will take part in major international championships like WUCC 2022.
The “Ultimate Lover” division is for everybody that wants to come and have fun playing competitive ultimate.
After the initial round of pool play, there will be crossover games between the divisions.
Teams should indicate their preference for the “Elite” or “Ultimate Lover” division at the time of registration. The organizers reserve the right to decide which division a team will be placed in.
