Ultimate Frisbee is fast becoming one of the biggest team sports in the world, popular for its fast speed and fun nature. Points are scored by passing the frisbee disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone, with players unable to move with the disc and turnovers occurring with an incomplete pass, interception or a pass out of bounds.

Ultimate also often has no referees so fouls and disputes are resolved between the players themselves, invoking the Spirit Of The Game (SOTG) to maintain fair play. All players play with true sportsmanship and honesty, so fouls are often called by the fouling player themselves, not by an official. Although the American league often now have referees to officiate, players can override a referee's decision with the "integrity" rule if they feel the wrong decision has been made, even if it were to benefit them.
