Ultimate?
Some call it Ultimate Frisbee, others may call it Frisbee Football or Ultimate Disc ‐‐ but the official name of the sport is just "Ultimate." The game is played on a field roughly the size of a football field. There are seven players on each team. A team scores by advancing the Disc (Frisbee) to the opponent's end‐zone. A player cannot run with the disc ‐‐ thus the only method of advancing the disc is by throwing the disc to a team‐mate. A turnover results from an incomplete pass, a catch out‐of‐bounds, or from the other team intercepting the disc. After a turnover the other team immediately picks up the disc and tries to advance the disc to their opponents end‐zone. Generally the teams play to a predetermined score (ie, 15 points). A score is worth one point.
Stat Tracker
While quite often stats may not tell the full story -- sometimes it is fun to track our team leaders. The numbers below track the top three team players in four categories . . .
- '+ / -' tracks how well the team scores while the player is on the field. A positive number reflects how many more points our team scores than our opponent scores while that player is on the field.
- 'D' tracks the number of "D's" the player gets while playing defense. A 'D' would be a forced turnover (ie, knock down the disc, effective mark, etc.)
- 'Goal' will track the number of scores the player caught in the end zone.
- 'Assist' tracks the number of throws for a score. Almost every point is scored with one player throwing and another player catching in the end-zone. The assist is the player throwing the score.

A little more about Ultimate . . .
** Much of this information is pulled from Wikipedia under the topic 'Ultimate (sport)'
Ultimate - also known as 'Ultimate Frisbee' -- is a low-contact team sport played with a flying disc (Frisbee). A regulation outdoor game is played 7v7 with substitutions allowed between points (and for injuries). Games are typically played to a points limit of 13, 15, or 17 and/or to a time limit of 75, 90, or 100 minutes (depending on the tournament or match). Ultimate was developed in 1968 by a group of students at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey.
Ultimate is played on a field similar in size to a football or soccer field. The overall field length is 110 yards with 20 yard end zones and a 70 yard field. The field is 40 yards wide.
