About the flying disc competition “Ultimate”
[Image 6: https://prtimes.jp/i/44321/71/resize/d44321-71-4066beda9b5febce47a1-0.jpg&s3=44321-71-c0d81ee510c0d4d40da2272de3d90786-2000×1282.jpg] In Ultimate, two teams of seven players pass a disc around a 100m x 37m court, and if they catch a pass in the end zone, they score a point (1 point). It utilizes the flight characteristics of the disc that are not found in ball games, requires speed and stamina, and has a self-judgment system based on the basic philosophy of “Spirit of the Game.” The name Ultimate was given because it is adopted. Each youth division will compete in a five-person format.
