Ultimate in 10 simple rules:
1) The playing field is regular rectangular shaped with end zones at each side of the field, marked with cones at the 4 corners.

2) Initiate play - Each point begins with both teams lining up at the front of their respective end
zone line. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offence. The game has 7 players per team,
with at least 2 girls.

3) Scoring - Each time the offence completes a pass in the defense's end zone, the offence scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.

4) Movement of the Disc - The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a
teammate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count. If the thrower fails to throw by 10 counts, possession goes to the marker.

5) Change of possession - When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, dropped, blocked, intercepted), the defence immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.

6) Substitutions - Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.

7) Non-contact - No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.

8) Fouls - When a player initiates contact on another player, a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts
possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul
disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.

9) Self-Refereeing - Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve
their own disputes.

10) Spirit of the Game - Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is
encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules
and the basic of joy.

Competition format
1) Preliminaries will be played in a league format sub-divided into 2 groups. The top 2 teams from each group will proceed to the semi-finals. Each faculty can send 1 or 2 teams.

2) If 2 or more teams score the same number of wins, the 2 teams that have the highest total score-concede difference will advance.

3) All games will be played in games of 10 minutes each (no half time). All teams are to report at
least 5 minutes before scheduled game time. A team will be disqualified if it fails to report on time.

4) Each team shall register a minimum of 7 players and a maximum of 14 players, maximum of 10 boys and 4 girls. Each team must have at least 2 female players during play. Only 1 school
team representative per team is allowed to play at any one time. No replacement is allowed
unless a valid reason is given i.e. medical certificate. The replacement player must be from the
same faculty and is not registered to play in another game.

5) Fielding illegal players will result in the disqualification of the team from the entire UF competition. All its scores will become 0 – 5.

6) All players are to present their student pass or NRIC for verification purpose.

7) Only Faculty t-shirts are allowed to be worn during the game. If both teams from the same

Getting to Zirca

2011-04-21T23:26:00.003+08:00

Hey Artemis!

Below are details regarding how to quickly get to Zirca from Clarke Quay MRT station:

Upon coming out of the MRT gantry, head towards exit G as indicated.

Exit G leads to the exit of Central nearest to the Read Bridge.

Go up the escalators...

Look for the exit/entrance beside the SUBWAY on the 1st floor. Turn right upon exiting.

You should see a path leading towards the Singapore River.

Walk towards the orange pillar when walking along the Singapore River.

You should also pass by this "Wolf Blass" before you walk up the bridge.

Walk across the bridge... then turn right when you reach the other end of the bridge.

You should see a Häagen-Dazs to your right. Walk straight down the street circled in Red.

Stop at the junction next to the TCC shop. Turn left and walk down the alley.

Zirca is right there as you walk through the alley.

See you at faceOFF on Saturday!

Love,
Artemis Fac Comm

ARTEMIS FACULTY COMMITTEE SELECTION UPDATES 1

2011-04-12T07:59:00.004+08:00

Dear Artemis C1s,

The time has come to select the next Fac Comm... if you have the capability and interest and passion to serve the faculty and make a splash in Hwa Chong, then do read on...

Procedures:
1) You must first serve as a temporary CT rep so that your CT and class can assess your suitability. Ask your CT for an opportunity as there is still time.

2) You will need to be elected by your class to be one of your class CT rep nominees. Your CTs will be conducting elections some time next week. Each class may only send 3 - 5 nominees.

3) Only nominated students may come for the interviews.

4) There will be separate auditons for dance and publicity i/cs. The dance and publicity i/cs need not be CT rep nominees. However, if you are going for these portfolios, you are strongly encouraged also to run as CT reps.

5) If you have any queries as to the process, commitment, and demands of the FC, do talk to any member of the senior FC or your senior FHs. I'm sure they would glady entertain you.

6) Read this blog for further updates... :-)

Finally, you shouldn't be failing your tests and assignments on a regular basis if you want to represent your class and the faculty and Hwa Chong as a FC member.

All the best!!!
Mr Teo Ming Ern
Ms He Jiawen
Ms Huo Yasi

General Elections

2011-04-04T19:21:00.003+08:00

Dear Artemis,

After a week of intense and competition-packed campaigning, it is the time of the year where we vote for potential Artemis Councilors. These people would eventually be representing our faculty in the 38th Student Council. So do think twice, thrice, many many times, before we cast our votes for the nominees. Every vote counts, so do choose carefully tomorrow, for the results would determine the new faces of both our faculty and the school.

Thank You,

Artemis Fac Comm

FROM DANCE ICs TO ARTEMIS

2011-02-26T00:48:00.007+08:00

Hello Artemis!

You guys were really really super duper mega awesome today! Standing on the stage, we could really feel the Artemis spirit & power unleashing, it was like wahhh!!! I think you guys would have noticed that the music was somehow faster like !#$^*(^&* and chipmunk-fied (this proves that technology sucks) BUT you guys know what, even though the music was screwed up, we caught up with the speed and it was still neat, synchronised and AWESOME! This shows how good we are, and nothing can ever bring us down :)

Even though we did not win POP together, im sure you guys felt the Artemis spirit while dancing tooo right! Adding on to what many other people said about the ARTEMIS FACULTY DANCE 2011 (im sure you guys would have heard about it too), it was really really an awesome job done. NO JOKE K!

Winning isnt exactly everything.
We win, we cheer.
We lose, we cheer louder, better
& soar even higher ♥

(here goes the story of us as your dance ics)

Like we said earlier during our first meeting at LT3 with you guys, both of us didnt really expect ourselves to be where we are now. like seriouslyyyy. It was really a dream come true for both us. We started brainstorming ideas on how we want the fac dance to be like- something fun and enjoyable and yet cool, searching for songs for fac dance and tried choreographing dance to the many many songs since November last year, all the way to early January. And we went through many drafts cos we rejected quite alot of what we came up with (by ourselves). It was kinda tough but yup we did it hoho!

Then we showed the fac comm and who really liked it alot and there you go, Artemis faculty dance 2011. :)

Then came the teaching process which the attendance, hmm honestly, affected us for quite a bit. haha. And honestly, we wouldn't have been able to get through this if the fac comm didn't support us through, and some of you for being so-ever supportive and turned up for every fac dance practice. (some of your CT reps actually went to talk to you guys and pull/drag you guys down for fac dance right haha).

Then gradually, more of yall came and wah, omg we were sooooo happy. then more came. & even more came. We were seriously over the moon like all the way upppp the sky you know. Moreover, when you guys danced like there's no tomorrow when the music was put on loop, it was really really heartening to see you guys enjoy the fac dance so much:)

Then there came the days where blockings got cancelled due to the weather. but you guys were not demoralised and came to tiantang & inner plaza to continue practicing. We were super touched. Really.

Last but not least, 25 Feb the day of POP came and you guys once again, screamed like there's no tomorrow and danced your very very very best. & you know the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction you get when 200+ people learn your dance and are so enthusiastic about it.

It felt really really good.

What made it way better was that we could actually feel everybody coming together as one faculty, cheering and doing your 101% for yourself, and your faculty.

MEMORABLE MUCH.

Thank you for adding so much color to our journey as your dance ics.
Without you, we are nothing.

To end it off, we just wanna say that

We are so freaking proud of you guys, like seriously omg.
It's not just the fac comm, but also many artemis J2s. & im so glad that we have all of you in Artemis because i think we have all the cutest and loveliest juniors here.

( we swear this is heartfelt, everything in this post comes from the bottom of our hearts)

We may have lost, but we have got our hearts as one whole cool blue Artemis.

Thank you so much, ARTEMIS ♥

With love,
Your Dance ICs
HuiJun & ZhengXiang

Hello Artemis!! :D

Here are some directions to help you get to Kebun Baru CC on Sat/ Sunday :)

If you're taking the MRT, alight at Ang Mo Kio MRT station (NS16) & look for exit C that points you to the Bus Interchange!

Go down the escalator & through the underpass!

Look for the escalator that brings you to the Bus interchange!

Look for bus 269! It's the one with the sign in BLUE! (& you'd probably see people wearing the same shirt as you :P )

Alight 5 stops later, at Blk 170 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4

Once you get off the bus, look to your LEFT (back facing the road!) You should see Kebun Baru CC! (building in orange & white!) :)

See you there! :D

LALALA ~ POP!

2011-02-24T22:24:00.003+08:00

Dear Artemis,

Tomorrow is POP :) Aren't you excited? We are. Because you have filled us with so much confidence, confidence that you will do the faculty proud, like you have already done ever since we first met you. And we just wanna say, we've never stopped feeling this proud :)

Seeing you guys dance our fac dance over and over for the past few days really touched us. Occasionally I'll join in with you to dance, and after 3 or 4 times I'll be really tired and I'll feel like resting. But you guys went on and on, over and over again and your moves just gets sharper and sharper each time you do the dance.

Tomorrow is the last time we're gonna dance this fac dance together as a faculty. I'll definitely miss seeing you dance, hearing our dance music going on and on, the smiles on your faces while doing the dance and most importantly, the enthusiasm from you guys.

From the bottom of our hearts, we really love all of you. :)

A last message to all of you before we all go to sleep and prepare ourselves for a long day ahead. Cliche as it may sound, winning really isn't everything. As we've said before, as long as you have done your best, you shall think back on this experience and smile like a winner.

Tomorrow,
we shall cheer like winners,
we shall chant like winners, and
we WILL DANCE LIKE WE HAVE ALREADY WON. :)

Most important I'm sure all your dance ICS want, is for you to have fun and enjoy yourself while dancing :) so do remember to SMILE brightly and really really just enjoy yourself. Remember, you only get to experience POP once :) And do remember to thank your dance ics for patiently teaching you the dance over the last two 2 weeks :)

ARTEMIS, for what we have seen in you, we have only one word to describe you.

CHAMPIONS.

Tomorrow is the day when we'll bring the beat down.
We'll show them how.

ARTEMIS OH! LET'S GO! :D

Loving you always,
Jolin and Murfei,
On behalf of Artemis Fac Comm :)

POP!

2011-02-24T21:54:00.005+08:00

Hello Artemis!!!!! ^^

It was great seeing you guys dancing and cheering your hearts out during the dance practice today! :D(Even though the weather seemed to be going against us :O bleh.)

And POP is TOMORROW!!!
aint you guys excited? heheh.

SO,
to facilitate the blockings process and to let you guys have a rough idea of how formation will be like...

pardon my drawings. sorry!

so basically, there will be this middle line on the central plaza, then there will be 3 columns on each half.

the 2 middle columns will stand from the 3rd-10th square away from the middle line. so there will be this 7-square-length for each pair to move around, and around 3-4 squares width. Then the pair will stand in the middle of that 7-squares, and all the slides and movement should be kept within these 7 squares.

so for the next 2 columns on each side, count 3 squares away from the inner column and then following 7x3 squares will be your dancing area. (this applies to the outermost 2 columns too!)

i know this sounds rather complicated, but dont worry cos there will be Seniors standing infront of each column to guide you guys. so what you guys need to do, is just to align yoursef to them! and make sure you are standing in a straight line with the pair/s at your sides too.

anw, there will be blockings from 1650-1740 @ central plaza & hopefully, it will be dry weather! :/

what to bring tomorrow:

1. Artemis Fac shirt!
2. Long pants (as long as you feel comfortable dancing in it)
3. Belt! (it will be useful if your suspenders is not well-stretched for your body)
4. Suspenders!!!
5. A heart filled with enthusiasm ^^

STRETCH YOUR SUSPENDERS NAOOO.
*clip it somewhere and leave it there overnight!*

Last but not least, drink lots of water to prepare your throat for tomorrow!

REST WELL & SEE YOU!♥

With love,
Hui Jun & Zheng Xiang!

3 DAYS TO POP!

2011-02-22T20:48:00.005+08:00

Hello Artemisians!

Good job to those who came down for fac dance practice today! You guys were really awesome!!!!

Anyway, just in case you all forget the pointers that we mention during practice, we're posting them here for your reference (:

1st Song: G-Slide aka the "wheels on the bus go round & round"

When walking forward after the first two steps of the dance, remember to lean your body right, left, then centre. Remember, RIGHT THEN LEFT! (it follows the foot you move)
When you do the "fake high-five" and "slapping hands" part, step out your left leg to keep the balance.
When sliding away from your partner, don't slide too much.
After you slide, keep in line with the person in front of you!

2nd Song: The Shinee World

For the first guy solo, when yall slide out, try to keep in line with the person in front of you (i.e. slide the distance the guy infront of you slide)
Listen and follow the "DOOP BOP DOOP BOP DOOP BOP" sound when doing the punching down steps.
Make sure you are clear of the puppeting part! Don't swing your hands in the wrong way! Keep your hands steady when you swing. Dont let it droop!
Girls are supposed to slide out at the end before the guys; GIRLS FIRST THEN GUYS. REMEMBER!

3rd Song: Jump

BEFORE the Lucifer palm waves x3 thingy, slide your RIGHT leg back (instead of sliding your left leg back)
When doing the waves x3 thingy, step back with your RIGHT leg.
AFTER the Lucifer palm waves x3 thingy, bring your LEFT leg to your right leg (instead of sliding your right leg to your left leg)
At the "people walking" part, bend low!
Remember to slide out at "whole southSIDE" into separate lines after doing the qian shou guan yin thing. keep the lines straight!
Remember your jump timings. & keep your respective lines straight!
Remember the spin at "OH my god". The jumpshots are not the end of the dance!!!
Everyone must squat together at the beep! Your butt must touch your shoe!

4th Song: We-have-no-idea-what-it-is-called

Know which way to turn
Girls: R-L-R-F
Guys: L-R-L-F
Guys, even if you're in the midst of spinning, or have become completely lost, just get down to the ending pose at the final BOOM!

IN A NUTSHELL!

When the actions require you to bend your knees/ squat, really go DOWNNN.

Just make all your actions BIG.

Watch your lines! Keep them straight all the way, then you'll look neat (:
STRAIGHT LINES ARE SUPER IMPORTANT FOR POP!

CHANTTTTTT!!! SHOUT TO YOUR MAX!
Chanting hypes the atmosphere, and motivates the people around you too. The louder it is, the greater energy we will have in our dance.

Last but not least, TADDDDAH!

FORMATION ON THE DAY OF POP!

please pardon my ugly drawings.
The jumping sequence goes from ORANGE-BLACK-PINK.
The last camera sound will be done by us,
simply because there's no time to do the"OMG, the funky beep" thingy.
*and i still cannot do it* lol

♥ JUST A FINAL NOTE

Winning the competition is not the main point, it is your enthusiasm and pride for the faculty that really determines whether we have succeeded or not. When we look at the POP video that will be posted on youtube after the event, we want all of you to be able to tell yourselves without regrets that we have put in our 101%,and everything dont matter because we did our best.

Can we do this together Artemis?

With love,
Hui Jun & Zheng Xiang

To those who came down for fac dance practice today, we just want to say a big THANK YOU to you guys!

We were really touched by your enthusiasm in doing the dance over and over again (: Try to do the dance along with the mirrored video at home to check whether your timings are correct. Your senior CT reps should have told you all already, but in case you're not aware, we'll be at the banner painting area at 4.30pm tomorrow to help anyone who wants to learn, or just dance along (:

Oh, and try to stretch your suspenders so it won't be uncomfortable.

JIAYOU PEOPLE, one week and one day to POP! As long as we do our best, we are already winners (:

Love,
Hui Jun and Zheng Xiang

Extra Practice!

2011-02-16T20:38:00.000+08:00

Hey Artemisians!

We understand that some of you have other commitments and cannot make it for the dance practices that we have scheduled.

Therefore, we are holding one extra practice session on 19th Feb, Saturday, 0900 - 1100 at Inner Plaza!

To those who want to master the fac dance, we strongly encourage you to come on down! You all can treat it as a class outing or something! This is the best chance for you to clear any doubts so that all the moves will come naturally when Artemis shows off our stuff on POP (:

Reminder: There's practice tomorrow outside auditorium at 3.30pm!

See you there!

Love,
Hui Jun and Zheng Xiang
P.S. Hip Hop auditions are on Saturday afternooon ;)
