The World Great Grand Master Beach Ultimate Club Championship is organized by BULA with the intent of promoting the growth of Beach Ultimate in the Great Grand Master Mixed division. The 2018 edition (organized by Jasper Sky, and BULA recommended) and the 2nd edition in 2021 took place in Spiaggia di Porto Giunco, Sardinia, Italy. Both of these were Open division events.
The third WGGMBUCC was held in Praia da Rocha – Portimão, Portugal, and 2 female matching players were required to be rostered per team. The fourth edition in 2023, was held on the white sands Punto Giunti in Sardinia, Italy, and each team was required to roster a minimum of 3 female matching players. The fourth edition was once again held in Portimão, right after the first World´s Beach Ultimate Club Championships! Each team was required to roster a minimum of 4 female matching players.
The current 2025 edition, hosted on the beautiful beaches of Sardinia, also requires at least 4 female matching players per team, and 2 FMP per team must be on the field of play at all times. Make sure to roster accordingly, taking into account injuries, etc.
