<!-- 3. Explain why the name “Frisbee” was dropped from the name of the game. -->
 +
The term Frisbee, often used capitalized, to generically describe all flying discs, is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company. Though such use is not encouraged by the company, the common use of the trademarked name as a generic term has put the trademark in jeopardy; accordingly, many "Frisbee" games are now known as "ultimate" or "disc" games.
  
'''Frisbee''' is the most common name for '''flying discs''' or '''flying saucers''', which are generally [[plastic]], roughly 20 to 25 centimeters (8&ndash;10&nbsp;in) in [[diameter]], with a lip. They are designed to fly [[aerodynamic]]ally when thrown with [[rotation]] and can be caught by hand. The name Frisbee is a registered [[trademark]] of the [[Wham-O]] toy company, but the term is often used [[genericized trademark|generically]] to describe all versions of the flying disc.

<!-- 8. Play six (6) Pathfinder pick-up games to twelve (12) points and demonstrate reasonable understanding of disk handling and throwing, catching, scoring, and defending. -->
  
A wide range of Frisbee (flying Discs) variants are available commercially. [[Disc golf]] discs are usually smaller but denser and are tailored for particular flight profiles to increase/decrease stability and distance. When it was discovered that [[dog]]s enjoyed chasing and retrieving the slow-moving discs, special discs were designed with more pliable material that would better resist a dog's bite, and prevent possible injury that may occur with more rigid materials. [[Disc dog]] competitions, in which dogs' disc-catching skills are judged, have become quite popular as well. Ring-like discs shaped like a [[Saturn (planet)|Saturn]]'s ring, known as [[Aerobie]]s, typically fly significantly farther than any traditional flying disc. The evolution has continued with the advancement of lighting a flying disc for evening and night-time play. By using a [[Flashflight]] disc, players can extend the throw and catch playing time after the sun goes down.

==History==
+
<!--T:36-->
 
+
<noinclude></translate></noinclude>
People have been throwing cake pans, pie tins, cookie jar lids, and other such objects for centuries. The [[clay target]] used in [[skeet]] is almost identical to a frisbee in shape, but was designed in the 19th century. The modern day Frisbees, however, began when people started making them out of plastic, and modern (flying discs) are developed from the "Flying-Saucer", originally invented by [[Walter Frederick Morrison|Fred Morrison]] and codeveloped and financed by [[Warren Franscioni]] in [[1948]]. However, that initial disc was largely unsuccessful. A later model made by Morrison in [[1955]] and sold as the "Pluto Platter" was bought by Wham-O on [[January 13]], [[1957]]. In the next year, Wham-O renamed the toy "Frisbee", a (probably deliberate) misspelling of the name of the [[Frisbie Pie Company]] of [[Bridgeport, Connecticut]], whose [[pie]] tins had been used by [[Yale University]] students in the campus for similar purposes.

==Physics==
 
 
 
The rotating flying disc has [[angular momentum]] perpendicular to the horizontal plane, stabilizing the disc's attitude <!-- "attitude" is the correct term here; pls don't change to "altitude". -elf Dec 05 --> in high-speed flight.  Small ridges near the leading edge act as turbulators, reducing flow separation by forcing the airflow to become [[turbulent]] after it passes over the ridges.  [[Lift (force)|Lift]] is generated in primarily the same way as a traditional asymmetric [[airfoil]], that is, by accelerating upper airflow such that a pressure difference gives rise to a lifting force.
 
 
 
Even a slight deformation in a disc, called a "taco" as extreme cases look like a [[taco shell]], can cause adverse affects when throwing long range. It can be observed by holding the disc horizontally at eye level and looking at the rim while slowly rotating the disc.
 
 
 
==Trivia==
 
*In the animated motion picture [[The Secret of NIMH]], the main character's name was changed in post-production from "Frisby" to "Brisby" to avoid potential trademark infringements.
 
*[[Richard Feynman]] in his book ''[[Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!]]'' suggests that watching the wobble of a plate tossed in the [[Cornell University]] cafeteria stimulated him to develop mathematics that eventually led to his Nobel prize winning work in [[quantum electrodynamics]] [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/03/AR2005110301924.html].

1

Know the 10 simple rules of Ultimate and how the game is played.


The Field
A rectangular shape with end zones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep.
Initiate Play
Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team.
Scoring
Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.
Movement of the Disc
The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count.
Change of Possession
When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.
Substitutions
Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.
Non-contact
No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
Fouls
When a player initiates contact on another player a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.
Self-Officiating
Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.
Spirit of the Game
Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play


2

Define and explain “Spirit of the Game”.



3

Explain why the name “Frisbee” was dropped from the name of the game.


The term Frisbee, often used capitalized, to generically describe all flying discs, is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company. Though such use is not encouraged by the company, the common use of the trademarked name as a generic term has put the trademark in jeopardy; accordingly, many "Frisbee" games are now known as "ultimate" or "disc" games.


4

Identify and be able to throw the disk:


4a

Forehand



4b

Backhand




5

Define or explain the following game terms:


5a

Stacking & Cutting



5b

Clearing Out



5c

Stall Count



5d

Non-Contact



5e

Violation vs. Foul



5f

Hold the line




6

Explain the following calls or rules:


6a

No referees/player resolution



6b

Foul calls at the disk



6c

Foul calls away from the disk



6d

Traveling



6e

Pivot




7

As a team or individual, develop a plan to practice outreach while completing the requirements for this honor. Possible options could include the following:


7a

Invite at least one friend not from your church to play a game.



7b

Have prayer before or after each game.



7c

Exhibit “Spirit of the Game” both on and off the field.




8

Play six (6) Pathfinder pick-up games to twelve (12) points and demonstrate reasonable understanding of disk handling and throwing, catching, scoring, and defending.



9

Write a one-page report or provide an oral report to the Pathfinder leader on how the concept of “Spirit of the Game” is applied to Ultimate and outside the sport as a Christian role model to others. Discuss why the concept is important in fair play and in reducing the desire to win at any cost.
