In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Frisbee Summary
This new generation of Frisbee fans invented Frisbee Golf, Guts, and Ultimate Frisbee, but it was freestyle frisbee, with its behind-the-back and between-the-legs catches, trick throws, and leaping, Frisbee-catching dogs, that did the most for visibility of the growing sport.
Frisbee is the most common name for flying discs or flying saucers, which are generally plastic, roughly 20 to 25 centimeters (8–10 in) in diameter, with a lip.
The name Frisbee is a registered trademark of the Wham-O toy company, but the term is often used generically (and erroneously) to describe all versions of the flying disc.

 Dodge Frisbee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dodge Frisbee is a variation of dodgeball using a Frisbee or flying disc in place of the ball or balls.
The movie Tron depicted a fictional variant of dodge frisbee that was used in gladitorial combat between computer programs, in which each combatant had his own personal disc that could be hurled (returning to him automatically afterward) or used as a shield to deflect an opponent's disc.
The game was not named in the movie and bears only a superficial resemblance to dodge frisbee since the discs exhibited highly unusual behavior, in one case looping around after being deflected once to strike a target a second time.

Marlboro’s version of Quidditch uses most elements present in the books: three goal hoops and three different kinds of balls in the air at one time: one quaffle (scoring ball), several bludgers (attack balls), and a snitch (an elusive flying ball).
Players pass the quaffle towards the goal hoops while trying to avoid the bludgers thrown randomly from the sidelines, as the two seekers try to stay out of everyone’s way while chasing the snitch.
For the snitch, Elliott-Knaggs found an elegant solution: a rubber band-propelled flying helicopter-like toy that spans the length of a soccer field and descends in an erratic and unpredictable pattern.

 Frisbees -- iSnare.com Articles
There are disc golf discs, which are smaller but denser than your typical frisbee, plus they are made to follow a particular flight profile that can increase or decrease their stability and distance.
Once people realized that dogs just love chasing those flying frisbees down, they designed special discs made up of more pliable material that are more resistant to the bite of a dog and which can prevent injuries to the dog that are often associated with more rigid materials.
After that, naturally the next frisbee craze was in the form of disc dog competitions which tested the disc-catching skills of dogs.
