Ultimate is a flying disc team sport played on a grass field with end zones. Teams advance the disc with aerodynamic throws, with one

point scored for each catch in the end zone. In games to 17, the athletes must possess an incredible combination of endurance, speed

agility, technique and teamwork combined with a strong commitment to fair play in top competition without referees. This timely

variation on sport reflects the importance of self-restraint. The athletes must arbitrate their own calls in the heat of competition using a

refined system of rules. Ultimate was invented in 1968, organized competitions now takes place on six continents.

The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) is the international governing body of flying disc sports including ultimate, guts and field

events. The rise of these sports parallels the invention of plastic. WFDF is an established member of the General Alliance of International

Sports Federations (GAISF), the International World Games Association (IWGA) and the International Council of Sport Science and

Physical Education.
