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 timecap 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).
