The Burlington Ultimate Club team called Hotspots finished the last two completed regular seasons with no wins.

That is 0–24: 12 losses last season, 12 losses this season. Not 24–0. They did not win the games. The other teams did.

The record, plainly
  • Team: Hotspots
  • Club: Burlington Ultimate Club
  • Last two regular seasons: 0 wins, 24 losses
  • Highest score in a game: 7
  • Games play to 15

The scoreline is the story

Ultimate games in this league play to 15. A team that never got past 7 was not close on the scoreboard, even when it was still on the field.

That does not make the players a joke. It makes the record unusual enough that a Burlington reader can understand it without a league explainer.

The playoff game does not change 0–24

Hotspots have an upcoming playoff game. That game sits outside the regular-season standings.

A win there would be a real result. It would not rewrite the 0–24 regular-season line.

Why this is a local story

Burlington has plenty of winning teams. This is the other end of the same civic sports map: a club side that kept showing up after the result was no longer in doubt.

The useful question is not whether 0–24 is embarrassing. It is what a rec-league season is for when the scoreboard never turns.

Read the line as written: 0 wins, 24 losses. A playoff game is a new game, not a correction to the regular season.
