 The official name of the sport is "ultimate" as "Frisbee" is trademarked however it generally referred to as ultimate Frisbee.

 

The basics 

 

Ultimate is a team sport based around the successful passing of a Frisbee/flying disc

It is played on a rectangular field with end zones at each end. A goal is scored when a player catches the disc in the end zone that their team is attacking.

Players cannot run with the disc. They move the disc by throwing to teammates. The defending team takes possession if the attacking team makes a throw which is not caught by a teammate (if the disc hits the floor, goes out of bounds or is intercepted by a defender).

Each new point begins with both teams lining up on the front of opposite end zone lines. The defending team throws the disc to the offense to start play (teams swap the end zone they’re attacking each point).

 The winner is the first team to reach a previously decided number of goals, typically fifteen.

 

The different Rulesets

Ultimate is split into two disciplines Outdoor ultimate and indoor ultimate

The primary differences being, that outdoor teams are 7 a side whereas indoor teams are 5 and that outdoor pitches are larger.

We will be playing the Uk indoor ruleset found here (Uk indoor ultimate rules) However due to its much higher popularity in the US most online content will reference their ruleset.
