Recently the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) filed suit against the CT Constitution and RI Rampage to prevent them from taking action against the AUDL for infringing upon their legally agreed-upon territories. This suit has caused the CT Constitution, one of the premiere teams in the league, to halt operations and forced it to stop competing in order to cover lawsuit expenses. This petition is signed in support of all of the original franchises and players who dedicated their talent, time, energy and funds to create the truly professional league that exists today. By signing this petition we hope to save Professional Ultimate by preventing the League from destroying the teams which helped to create it in the first place.

The momentum building behind this effort reflects a deep concern for the teams that built the foundation of our sport. It is encouraging to see this many people recognize that these franchises are the true heart of professional ultimate.

The silence from the league office has been heavy but it provides insight into their current priorities. I am currently gathering documents to prepare for a formal discussion with the stakeholders involved. This struggle is about protecting the foundation of the sport we all value.

I really loved watching those games in CT. It is such a shame they have to deal with this because of the league's greed.

The guys on these teams put in so much work for the league to just turn around and screw them over. Absolutely pathetic.

Ridiculous to see the league act this way. Real professional leagues support their players not go after them in court.

Bring back the Constitution! So sick of seeing good teams get pushed out by legal games.

This is total garbage. The AUDL needs to stop suing their own teams and focus on actually growing the sport instead of killing it.
