A game played with a disc and seven players per team on the field at a time. Object is to score by catching the disc in the correct endzone. Games are usually played to 13 or 15 unless a time cap is put on. Players cannot run with the disc, it must be worked up the field, generally by "handlers" passing to "cutters". A very athletic sport that demands running comparable to soccer or football.
Started on the East Coast in the late 1960s and is now played at a national level. Is run by the "Spirit of the Game"TM. Games can be as unorganized as pickup games with friends or they can be organized by clubs, leagues, schools, or the Ultimate Player's Association(UPA).

Best game ever played. Common among collage students and hippies. Equipment includes frisbee disc, and a field where a disc may be thrown. 7 players per team each one with an endzone. One team tries to throw the frisbee down the field and catch it in the opposing teams endzone. Main rule: no running with the disc. Ultimate Frisbee is a self regulated self officiated game, there are no refs, all part of spirit of the game. Players judge themselves and all have a good attitude.
person 1: lets go play ultimate frisbee,
person 2: Ok! there is a pick up game at the local collage.
person 3: don't forget your sandals.

A great game played with a frisbee invented by Joel Silver and Buzzy Hellring at Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ in 1968.

a traditionally-hippie sport, usually played on college campuses or in public parks, where mostly white people run around and call for the frisbee (aka disc, aka bee) to try and score in an area similar to a football endzone
Hey, some friends of mine are going out to the monument fields and playing a little disc. Want to join them in a game of ultimate frisbee?

There is no denying that this is the gayest sport ever designed... I even play the bastard and I know it's queer.
Imagine an american football park without the posts and you've got your pitch. No contact (gay) no refs (need to be honest) and no movement with the disc. You need to pass it between your team mates to an opponents end zone without the opposition intercepting the disc. There's the basics.
Anyway onto the gayness, ultimate players believe in "spirit" which is basically not being a knob when you're playing and being fair. It also involves not showing off when you win, something I'll never ever be able to do.
You also have to sit at the end of a game and talk about it (GAY!) even if you win by loads or get pumped. There's no escaping it either, believe me I've tried. You then take turns to do "calls" which are basically mini games, sometimes they are fun but mostly they are shit.
There is nothing worse than having to be nice to a team of dicks or doing a call at the end of a tournament when you're exhausted (typically a tournament is sat/sun with games spaced out 9-5)
Also ultimate players tend to shun good fun sports like Football (soccer to idiots, fitbaw to Gods) and make claims like "that ball is the wrong shape" STUPID

When playing a team who tried to cheat us I had to do the talk at the end of the game, I told them that we hated them, that is an ultimate frisbee no no
Take calls out of ultimate frisbee, much more fun that way
