Spirit of the Game
"Ultimate has traditionally relied upon a spirit
of sportsmanship which places responsibility for fair play on the players
themselves. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of
the bond of mutual respect between players, adherence to the agreed-upon rules
of the game, or the basic joy of play. Protection of these vital elements serves
to eliminate adverse conduct from the Ultimate field. Such actions as taunting
of opposing players, dangerous aggression, intentional fouling, or other
"win-at-all-costs" behavior are contrary to the spirit of the game and must be
avoided by all players." (1999 9th Edition)
Stack, Stacking, "Stack Up!"
Stacking is an offensive tactic used to thwart defensive coverage. Players
without the disc on the offense line up before the person with the disc and
then alternatingly break away in different directions to become available for
their teammate's throw.
