Welcome to Elimination 8s! 
Elimination 8s was created in 2002 by local ultimate pioneer, Art Hawkins. Those of you who knew Art also knew that some of the things he came up with were unconventional. Art's "vision" for Elimination 8s, though, was simple from the beginning: to create an event that was attended by all that loved Ultimate and to raise funds for charities.
Held on Canada Day, this annual tradition for ultimate players in Vancouver is a great way to meet new people while raising funds for local charities.

FAQ
How are games played?
