Guts is one of the team events in the flying disc sports. It is played by two teams of five players each. The official disc of the game is the Pro model Frisbee disc. For informal play, a lightweight, blunt-rim disc such as the 100 G DDC is sometimes used. The playing field consists of two parallel goal-lines 15 m in length and 14 m apart. The teams stand in line opposite each other. Each team defends a goal- line. The disc is thrown back and forth between the teams. The object is to throw the disc through the line of defending players. The throwing team scores a point when the other team does not catch a correctly thrown disc. The receiving team scores a point when the disc is not thrown correctly. When a correctly thrown disc is caught by the other team, no points are scored. The team that first reaches 21 points, wins the game. Tip: if you want you can play with fewer players on a team. Tip: at first you can make the game somewhat easier by suspending the rule that the disc must be caught with one hand. The most important rules. • A game consists of a series of exchanges in which one team throws the disc and the other team attempts to catch the disc. The teams are alternately throwing and receiving: in the next exchange the throwing team becomes the receiving team and vice versa.

  • E-Book Is Published by WFDF and Is Available Here
    Dear friends of Ultimate and Flying Disc sports: It is my pleasure to introduce this first e-book issued for school and university teachers on the Flying Disc sport of Ultimate, which we hope will help spread the knowledge about our sport around the world. The book, originally published by José Am- oroso in Portuguese and now translated to English, is proudly supported by the World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) as part of our Development Programme funded with the coop- eration by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). The WFDF mission is “to support and promote the global ad- Nob Rauch vancement of disc sports and spirit of the game.” This book is a powerful tool to provide teaching professionals around the globe with the skills to teach both the techniques of Ultimate as well as the important principles of the “Spirit of the Game.” This book will offer various curriculum levels and an introduction to the other Flying Disc sports, and we are confident that it will give a boost to Flying Disc in schools and universities and help young athletes in more countries in the world to play Ultimate. The World Flying Disc Federation’s development programme is in its seventh year and we look to broaden the skills of those practising our sport worldwide, to see our sport being played in all countries around the world with gender-equal opportunities, and to promote the Spirit of the Game. It is this character of Ultimate, as a self-refereed sport demanding of its athletes a spirit a of fair play, which makes it so unique among all team sports and, from our perspective, a team sport equal to none, and it is this spirit that very much contributes to the #frisbeelifestyle.
