ultimate frisbee

Self-officiated disc game

Ultimate frisbee is a team sport played with a flying disc, combining elements of football and soccer.

Two teams advance the disc toward opposite end zones by passing—no running while holding it.

Physical contact is prohibited, and players call their own fouls without referees.

Often shortened to ultimate: We're playing ultimate after work.
