Freestyle Competition
This competition involves two or more players performing trick throwing and catching techniques to music, judged by fellow competitors on creativity, difficulty and execution.
In 1974, Ken Westerfield and Jim Kenner (founder and CEO of Discraft), introduce and win the first flying disc freestyle competition at the 3rd annual Canadian Open Frisbee Championships, Toronto, Canada. This was the first Frisbee freestyle competition ever. A year later the AFDO (American Flying Disc Open) Rochester, New York, and the 1975 World Frisbee Championships, held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, adopted Ken and Jims freestyle competition format as one of their events. Today this same freestyle event is now accepted as one of the premier events in Flying disc tournaments worldwide.
