    Blast from The Past

    The flying disc was invented in 1948


    by Walter Morrison. In 1957 January
    13, Wham-O bought the rights to the
    invention and released it later under
    the trademarked name Frisbee.
    Disc sports using the Frisbee (flying
    disc), really began in the early-70s.
    Disc sports such as freestyle,
    double disc court, guts, disc ultimate
    and disc golf became this sports first
    events. Two sports, disc ultimate
    and disc golf are very popular
    worldwide and are now being played
    semi-professionally.
    The World Flying Disc Federation,
    Professional Disc Golf Association,
    and the Freestyle Players
    Association, are the official rules
    and sanctioning organizations for
    flying disc sports worldwide.
    Frisbee Games
    1. GUTS - invented by the Healy
    Brothers (1950) and
    developed at the International
    Frisbee Tournament (IFT)
    in Marquette, Michigan.

    2. ULTIMATE, the most widely
    played disc game, invented
    by Joel Silver & Jared Kass

    developed by Wham-O's Ed
    Headrick. Was standardized
    with targets called "pole
    Ultimate - 10 simple rules
    Initiate Play -- Each point begins with both
    teams lining up on the front of their
    respective endzone line. The defense
    throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. A
    regulation game has seven players per
    team.
    Scoring -- Each time the offense completes
    a pass in the defense's endzone, the
    offense scores a point.
    Movement of the Disc -- The disc may be
    advanced in any direction by completing a
    pass to a teammate. Players may not run
    with the disc. The person with the disc
    ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the
    disc. The defender guarding the thrower
    ("marker") counts out the stall count.
    Change of possession -- When a pass in
    not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop,
    block, interception), the defence
    immediately takes possession of the disc
    and becomes the offense.
    Substitutions - Players not in the game
    may replace players in the game after a
    score and during an injury timeout.
    Non-contact - No physical contact is
    allowed between players.
    Fouls -- When a player initiates contact on
    another player a foul occurs. When a foul
    disrupts possession, the play resumes as if
    the possession was retained. If the player
    committing the foul disagrees with the foul
    call, the play is redone.
    Self-Refereeing - Responsible for own foul
    & line calls. Resolve own disputes.
    Spirit of the Game - Sportsmanship & fair
    play. Competitive play is encouraged,
    never at the expense of respect between
    players, adherence to the rules, and the
    basic joy of play.
