Spirit Of The Game

Smiles given after having a competitive match between the two teams

Since now we have introduced you the basic throws, you can start playing the game of Ultimate Frisbee. Grab a few friends and you can have your mini game of Ultimate Frisbee. However, in Ultimate, it is played and judged differently from the rest of the sports around. This in other words is known as "The Spirit Of The Game".

So here, is the question: What do you mean as the Spirit Of The Game?
In such sports, there is no referee to judge whether the players are right or not. Every players have the right to call whether there is a foul or not. Both players of each team must hold the responsible and must agree with the foul called. If either one of the player that has been fouled by the opponent, and disagree to such action, a 'contest' is called to discuss the problem that they are facing with their opponent (Lynch, 2011) Players have to resolve their own problems in the game until both parties or teams agrees. However, in Ultimate, a foul that is purposely called would be known as cheating and a gross offense against the spirit of the sportsmanship (USA Ultimate, 2010). As a result of this, the Spirit of The Game is ruined. The Spirit of The Game must be maintained in good sportsmanship and fair play. It is good to have a competitive side in playing Ultimate but, continue to enjoy the fun and joy in this game, at the same time, respecting each of the players in both of the teams (UltimateRob, 2010).

Continue to keep the spirits going in playing Ultimate Frisbee, to enjoy the game.
"Personally learnt sportsmanship and teamwork through this team of mine"

    Never knew Frisbee got no referee. In this case, sportsmanship is indeed crucial for fair play and to sustain the game. Good write up!
