Preparing to head to the 2023 #USAU #Open Club Championships in Aurora, CO. I'll be Spirit Director for both the Adult and the Youth Championships this weekend, overseeing the #SOTG of 117 teams.

Who else from the fediverse will be there?

When I die, if I have lived a good life, I hope I get to join a #SpiritCircle in the sky that looks a lot like this. #Boracay #BoracayOpen #SpiritOfTheGame #SOTG #beachultimate

Boarded my flight to go to #BoracayOpen where I’ll be the #SpiritDirector of the tournament. I feel honoured and overwhelmed. And coincidently, I was seated next to a fellow from Calgary who is going to a meeting of the world #speedclimbing board - lots to talk about!. #sotg #ultimate #beachultimate #spiritofthegame

I am so happy to announce that I’m going to be the Spirit Director at this year’s #Boracay Open, a world-renowned beach #ultimate tournament on a #frisbee player’s paradise island in the #Philippines. Every tournament benefits from a #SpiritDirector, and I’m working to make that happen…

I’m planning to host a #SpiritBeer before the event, Wed or Thur, so please boost.

Here's an interesting consequence of professional #referees in sports - and the effect on kids hockey specifically. #sotg #spiritofthegame

James #Bradberry, #Eagles defensive corner, confirmed that the referees in the #SuperBowl were correct in their holding call that tipped the game to the #Chiefs. A reminder that players are so often the ones who best know what the calls should be. #sotg #spiritofthegame

It looks like the #WFDF made the wrong call when they banned all #Russian and #Belarussian citizens from their events in order to impress the #Olympics … dealing a real blow to #SOTG at the same time.

What #Kareem Abdul-Jabbar thinks about #LeBron breaking his all-time #NBA scoring record is not just an interesting read, it's a goddamn fantastic explanation of the role sport can and should be in the betterment of the human condition. #sotg #spiritofthegame

Sounds a lot like a Spirit of the Game card... how interesting that it's happening in Portugal! #sotg #spiritofthegame

"Football referees in Portugal have begun to show "white cards" during matches to recognize acts of fair play."

Folks, here's an #introduction post. I'm Travis Smith but often go by Nep for reasons.

I do love being the #SpiritDirector of any #ultimate tournament, but there's a special joy that comes from helping a tournament like #LeiOut be as joyful as it possibly can be for everyone involved.

This weekend was absolutely fantastic, and seeing #SpiritCircles at the end of some of the games made it all the more beautiful.

Preparing to head to #LeiOut beach #ultimate tournament. I’ll be working as #Spirit Director there. Words can express how excited I am: very very very excited.

As in previous years, a special and unique emoji-based #SOTG scoring system will be in use for Leiout, from

Let me know if you’re there!

This is going to be a vague post, but if you have capacity to help financially support some women in ultimate who are in an extremely serious and bleak situation, please DM me, and I’ll explain more. Suffice to say, I can’t think of any better way to recognize International Spirit of the Game day than this. #sotg. #isotgday
