“spirit of the game”
Spirit of the Game

"Ultimate has traditionally relied upon a spirit of
sportsmanship which places the responsibility for fair
play on the player. 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."
