Combining the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football, a game of Ultimate is played by two seven-player squads with a high-tech disc on a filed similar to football. The object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the opponent's end zone. A player must stop running while in posession of the disc, but may pivot and pass to any other receivers on the field. Ultimate is a transition game in which players move quickly from offence to defense on turnovers that occur with a dropped pass, an interception, a pass out of bounds, or when a player is caught holding the disc for more than ten seconds.
