Here’s a useful description of Ultimate by Wikipedia.org:
Ultimate (commonly called Ultimate Frisbee) is a competitive non-contact team sport played with a disc weighing 175 g. The object of the game is to score points by passing the disc into the opposing endzone, similar to American football. Players may not run while holding the disc. The game was invented in 1968 as an evening pastime. Ultimate is distinguished by its Spirit of the Game – the principles of fair play, sportsmanship, and the joy of play.
While originally called “Ultimate Frisbee”, the game is more appropriately called “Ultimate” because the name Frisbee is a trademarked brand name for discs made by Wham-O, which are rarely used in competitive play. The 175g Discraft Ultrastar is the only disc approved for Championship Series events hosted by the Ultimate Players Association, the national governing body for Ultimate in the United States.
