Spirit of the Game is the unique method of Ultimate Frisbee to adhere to a rule set without using referees. During a game, everyone can call a violation of the rules. Then we stop the game and discuss what happened. At the end of the game, each team rates the other team on how fair they acted and how much fun they were to play with. This is based on 5 categories:
– Rules knowledge and use
– Fouls and body contact
– Fairmindedness
– Positive attitude and self control
– Communication
Because of this setup, team reflection after each game is built into the sport and the team spirit and atmosphere is generally really nice and chill.
