In 2022 we took a decision to change the way we process, publish and celebrate Spirit of the Game. We created this site to collate all results over a season and envisage it as a way to maintain a SOTG results archive over many years. We have started a move away from thinking about SOTG winners on an event-by-event basis and want to help teams and clubs see SOTG as something long-term that they are working towards.Â
We publish Spirit results and breakdowns for all events but do not award SOTG trophies to mark the event 'winner' (this is not the case at junior and youth divisions which still have a SOTG trophy for each event and division).
We have introduced two annual awards:
SOTG Club of the Year Award - to be announced at the end of the outdoor season (Oct / Nov)
SOTG University Club of the Year Award - to be announced on iSOTG Day (10 May) and awarded at University Mixed Outdoor Championships (July)
To calculate scores we combine data across the three divisions (O,W,X) and teams within a club. We plan to include Indoor, Outdoor and Beach. We may also consider including some European events, particularly those in the European Ultimate Club Series.
