Disc sports have a number of �technical� events, which are played individually. These events chal-lenge the player�s throwing technique, as well as stamina and concentration. They are referred to as the �field events�. With only a little organisational work you can combine them in a small tournament. You can also challenge yourself to establish and try to improve you own personal record. Who knows, you can even challenge a world record. They are established by WFDF for players of all ages.
