Ultimate (or Ultimate Frisbee) is a fast paced game that is
becoming more popular each year. According to the Manitoba
Organization of Disc Sports website there were 192 adult co-ed
teams and 28 school teams competing last year. During the spring,
summer and very late into the fall the fields around this cache
site are teeming with activity. The game is also played during the
winter months indoors at facilities such as the Golf Dome and the
Winnipeg Soccer Federation Complex at the University of Manitoba.
Ultimate is known for its "Spirit of the Game". The self-officiated
nature of the game and rules demands a strong spirit of
sportsmanship and respect for other players. Fair play and having
fun are considered central aspects of play, even when competition
becomes intense.
The following description is from the official ultimate rules
established by the Ultimate Players Association:
“ Ultimate has traditionally relied upon a spirit of
sportsmanship which places the responsibility for fair play on the
player. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the
expense of the bond of mutual respect between players, adherence to
the agreed upon rules of the game, or the basic joy of play.
Protection of these vital elements serves to eliminate adverse
conduct from the ultimate field. Such actions as taunting of
opposing players, dangerous aggression, intentional fouling, or
other 'win-at-all-costs' behavior are contrary to the spirit of the
game and must be avoided by all players. ”
Many tournaments give awards for the most spirited team, as
voted for by all the teams taking part in the tournament.
