The World Games 2009 Kaohsiung: Fistball, frisbee coming to a stadium near you

By Richard Hazeldine  /  STAFF REPORTER

Ultimate is a non-contact sport where two mixed teams of seven compete on a field measuring 64m by 37m that has two end zones 18m deep. Points are scored when a team completes a pass in the opposition’s end zone. Players are not allowed to run with the Frisbee and the Frisbee holder has 10 seconds to make a pass. Possession is forfeited when the Frisbee goes out of play, is dropped, blocked or intercepted.

The team with the most points at the end of two halves (usually 25 minutes) is the winner. The game is self-refereed in that players are responsible for calling fouls and infractions.

Events: Six-team Ultimate (Mixed)

Venue: Main Stadium (世運主場館) Date: Sun 19–Tue 21.

Four more sports will be profiled tomorrow.
