Some people call this game as Frisbee, but the real name of this game is Ultimate. Ultimate is a self-officiating game that means you don't referees to officiate the game, you just need to understand the rules and you're ready to play.
I have three different sources that tells you about the game Ultimate, and will let you understand how the game is being played.
WHAT IS ULTIMATE?
>Ultimate resembles many traditional sports in its athletic requirements, it is unlike most sports due to its focus on self-officiating, even at the highest levels of competition. This concept, called Spirit of the Game, is integrated into the basic philosophy of the sport, written into the rules, and practiced at all levels of the game from local leagues to the World Games.
>Ultimate is a limited-contact team field sport played with a flying disc, usually called the disc or frisbee. Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone.
>Ultimate is an exciting, non-contact team sport, played by thousands the world over. It mixes the best features of sports such as Soccer, Basketball, American Football and Netball into an elegantly simple yet fascinating and demanding game.
Sadly, Ultimate is still not one of the well known sport all over the world, but I assure you, when you learn how to play ultimate you'll love it. In my own opinion, playing Ultimate increases your speed, stamina and reflexes
The man in the picture who is diving to catch the disc is Brodie Smith! He is my idol, wanna know why? Watch his insane videos on Youtube or follow him on instagram @Brodiesmith21 ! :)
"Ultimate is governed by Spirit of the Game™, a tradition of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the players rather than referees."
