Ultimate is a flying disc team sport played on a grass field with end zones. Teams advance the disc with aerodynamic throws, with one point scored for each catch in the end zone. In games to 17, the athletes must possess an incredible combination of endurance, speed, agility, technique and teamwork combined with a strong commitment to fair play in top competition without referees. This timeley variation on sport reflects the importance of self-restraint. The athletes must arbitrate their own calls in the heat of competition using a refined system of rules. Invented in 1968, oraganized competition now takes place on six continents.

The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) is the international governing body for flying disc sports including ultimate, freestyle, guts, and many field events. The rise of these sports parallels the invention of plastic. WFDF is an established member of the General Alliance of International Sports Federations (GIASF), the International World Games Assocation (GAISF) and the International Council for Sport Science and Physical Education.
