But the TAMU Ul timate Frisbee Team doesn’t agree — they like their Frisbee-throwing fast and furious. The game is called Ultimate, a fast-paced hybrid of Frisbee, foot ball, basketball and soccer. It was created in the ‘70s by high school students in New Jersey; it then spread to the West Coast and even tually took root in the South. John Kirk, captain of the TAMU Ultimate team said the game is be coming more popular here and all over the world because everyone can play. “In most sports you have to have a certain build,” Kirk said. “In Ultimate, you just have to be able to throw a disc and run. It opens the game to everyone.” The game is played with seven players on each team. They set up offenses, defenses and scoring like in football; they pass and block like in basketball and run the field like in soccer. But ask any Ultimate player, and he or she will tell you the most important rule is “The Spirit of the Game.” This means, unlike its parent sports, Ultimate is played with no referees or line judges, forcing the players to call their own fouls. Even the Ultimate Players Asso ciation, formed in 1979 to pro mote the sport, said the game is characterized by “its high regard for mutual respect among players and an absence of referees. ’ “With ‘The Spirit of the Game,’” Kirk said, ‘your word is the rule. It is an important con cept and it’s there even in the na tional level. It’s one of the things that makes Ultimate stand out.” But the absence of referees has not kept Ultimate from becoming a well-organized collegiate sport, Kirk said. “When you get to high level tournaments,” he said, “people get very competitive and sometimes irate, but you will never see a fight on the field. If you are defending someone and they make a good catch against ^ou, you congratulate them anyway. ’ Chad Cunningham, a senior business analysis major from Bay City, is relatively new to the sport. He said it’s the camaraderie that makes the sport less intimidating. “It’s not so intensely competi tive that people will get turned off by it,” Cunningham said. “This is the best sport to get together and make friends.” Like Cunningham, most of the 20 TAMU team members are new comers and are still learning. Made up of both men and women, college and non-college students, the team hopes to recruit more ex perienced students than before. Louie Liendo, a sophomore wildlife and fisheries sciences ma jor from Brownsville, said older graduates act as coaches to the younger team members. “We get experience scrimmag ing against the old guys,” Liendo said. ‘They have great endurance and they usually kick our butts.” Matt Beringer, Class of '86, has played Ultimate at A&M since 1984. He said A&M has had an Ultimate club for a decade. They have always competed in open tournaments, he said, and this year the team finally has enough col lege students to compete in the UFA collegiate tournament. “Right now, we’ve had a lot of people staying around to play,” Beringer said, ‘at least enough to have a collegiate team again.” Tom Blinn, also an A&M gradu ate, said he wants to see more Ul timate played at the high school level. This would mean a more experienced collegiate team, he said. “It’s generally true that open teams are better teams because they have older, more experienced players,” Blinn said. "One of the things that makes this sport differ ent is that when people start play ing for other A&M teams, they al ready know how to play the game. In Ultimate, just as a college player is getting good, they graduate and go play for other teams.” The people t(iat play Ultimate, k\ Ic Burnett/TV Bath II fit the omi nirr ‘I havt A member of the TAMU Ultimat pass from another team membei Field.

But he ■ play has become nu since he started plat ago. “Personally, I think this good and bad,” Blinn said, always wanted it to be competi tive, but it should still be played with good spirit and respect for the other team.” Something that has remained a constant over the years is the Sav age 7 tournament.
