Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many people are on the field for one team at a time?

Answer: 7

Each team puts seven on the field throughout the whole game. Games usually start by captains yelling "Seven on the Line!". Substitutions can come after points or for injuries.

2. What is the person with the disc called?

Answer: The thrower

There are usually three people on the field at one time whose sole job it is to throw.

3. Rutgers was one of the two colleges that first started playing ultimate during the early 1970's. Who was the other?

Answer: Princeton University

When these two New Jersey schools started playing the game, Rutgers beat Princeton 29-27 in the first intercollegiate match. The sport was actually first introduced in 1967 by Joel Silver to Columbia High School in Maplewood New Jersey.

4. What is the governing body for ultimate?

Answer: Ultimate Players Association

Inaugurated in 1980, the UPA initially had 9 members, and at the end of the 20th century, they had grown to 15,000 with sponsored events all over the globe. The World Flying Disc Federation is similar to the UPA however, they sponsor other disc sports such as golf, not just ultimate.

5. What is the first throw of a game called?

Answer: The pull

The pull occurs at the beginning of every game and after every score just as a kickoff does in football. A deep throw, called a huck is to ultimate what the Hail Mary is to football.

6. An ultimate field is smaller than a football field?

Answer: True

An ultimate field, including end-zones, is 120 yards long (the field is 70 yards, with each end zone being 25 yards), and only 40 yards wide. Football fields, including end-zones, are 120 yards long (field is 100 yards, each end zone is 10 yards) and about 53 yards wide.

7. It is illegal in ultimate to use your feet to block a disc or help catch one.

Answer: False

In ultimate, you can use all parts of your body to help you block or catch discs before they hit the ground.

8. What is the line of players in front of the handler called?

Answer: stack

The stack is where the other six players on the field arrange themselves into a single file line in front of the handler. Cuts are then made towards the disc.

9. What is the weight on an official ultimate frisbee?

Answer: 175 grams

Ultimate discs are "heavy" but they need to be for a fast paced, fast action game. 160 g. is for freestyle discs, while disc golf "putters" and "drivers" weigh between 165 g. and 174 g.

10. What is the overhead throw most commonly called?

Answer: Hammer

Hammer is the accepted term because once the disc leaves your hand, it flies off at a forty-five degree angle, eventually leveling off upside down, and falling into your teammate's hands (or the ground).
