Ultimate (disc)

Ultimate is a team sport played with a flying disc. The object of the game is to score points by passing the disc to members of your own team, on a rectangular field approximately the size of a soccer field, until you have successfully completed a pass to a team member in the opposing teams end zone. In the 1970s, Ken Westerfield introduced disc ultimate north of the 49th parallel at the Canadian Open Frisbee Championships and by creating the Toronto Ultimate League (Club). As of 2012, Canada is currently ranked number one in the Ultimate World Rankings according to the World Flying Disc Federation. In 2013, as a founding partner, the Toronto Ultimate Club will present Canada's first professional ultimate team, the Toronto Rush. to the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL).
