	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.

		I admit, I was dreading the prospect of learning frisbee in a public location, so was relieved that (mostly due to the weather) we decided to hold the lesson in a corner of the Johnson track.
		I was astonished that by the end of the lesson I was able to throw the frisbee 'backhand' without too much thought, although I still hesitated with the 'forehand'.
		I have come to the conclusion that learning to throw a frisbee is very much riding a bicycle—once you 'get the hang of it' it becomes a very natural, visceral activity.

		As you learn how to throw a flick, it may help to tuck your elbow in towards your body; this is a bad habit to get into if you play Ultimate, but may assist with preventing you from using too much shoulder and arm.
		The scoober is an advanced throw that travels in a path similar to the hammer, although it cannot be thrown as far because it relies almost exclusively on the wrist for power.
		Variation: Reverse Viggiano: This throw is similar to the Viggiano, except one starts with the top of the disc pointing away from the side of the body, with the thumb underneath and two fingers on top.

	Ultimate Frisbee - Recreation Services - Brock University
		Frisbee must be thrown within five seconds from the time you touch it.
		Touchdowns are scored by throwing, not handing, the frisbee to a teammate in the opponent's end-zone (players cannot run into the end-zone after making a catch) or by intercepting an opponent's pass in their end-zone.
		The opposing team takes the frisbee to the 20-yard line if the offensive team gets caught in their end-zone for the ten second count, or they delay picking up the frisbee in their end-zone or the offensive team throws the frisbee out of bounds from within their end-zone.

		To score in ultimate Frisbee, the disc (Frisbee) must be tossed across the goal line to a fellow teammate who must catch it and have control of the Frisbee.
		If the team throwing throws the frisbee into the endzone or past the endzone, the receiving team takes it from their own 20-yard line.
		If a throw goes out of bounds or a receiver carries it out of bounds, the opponents get the frisbee inbound nearest the point where the receiver or disc went out of bounds.

	Dog Scouts of America Frisbee. Dog camp, clicker training, and dog training!
		Frisbee is a trademarked name for a flying disc produced by the Wham-o company.
		Points are awarded only for throws that go beyond the first 10 yards (to avoid people trying to rack up points at close range).
		Catches made in the 10 to 15 yard distance are worth 1 point "on the ground," and 2 points "in the air." On the ground means that any foot of the dog is on the ground when he makes his catch.

		This means the only way to move is to throw the Frisbee to your desired location and run to retrieve it.
		Placement throws are announced when they are made, and cannot kill anyone until the Frisbee stops moving.
		This makes it obvious when a throw to move is being made and avoids problems that can occur when the player is forced to make a placement shot, and not an attack, and happens to hit someone.

	Case Physics Forums :: Physics 123 Journals, Fall 2006 :: Motion of a frisbee
		Through 5 trials of throwing a frisbee at approximately 45 degrees without spinning it and measuring the time it took to hit the ground, I came up with an average flight time of 1.59 seconds.
		Assuming standard projectile conditions (negating air resistance), and ignoring the height I added by throwing it, this means that it rose for ~.8 seconds, and therefore had an initial velocity of (9.8 m/s2) *.8 seconds, or the acceleration of gravity times the time it took gravity to make it change direction, or 7.8 m/s.
		The frisbee will eventually slow down and fall, once the drag slows the frisbee down and force of lift is less than the force of gravity.
