Sport of the Week
Frisbee is Ultimate experience
Local tournament will reinforce teams' 'spirit of the game'

During the 1997-98 season, its road schedule allowed the team to dip its feet in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Michigan.
Maybe the Kansas Ultimate Frisbee teams' motto should be "have bags, will travel."
Its water antics not only brought them good luck, but served as a reminder of the teams' tireless dedication and willingness to seek out good competition.
This fall the Kansas men's (the HorrorZontals) and women's (Betty) Ultimate Frisbee club teams played in tournaments in Columbia, Mo. and Fayetteville, Ark. This spring, they've already traveled 705 miles to a tournament in Austin, Texas — which they won.
So how hard can it be, flying chartered jets to all corners of the country? Yeah right. Try rented cars packed to the brim with athletes and equipment.
Now it's time for the teams to put those feet up and wait for the good competition to come to Lawrence.
The Kansas teams, which were founded in 1981, will host the 18th annual Fools Fest Tournament Saturday and Sunday at the Shenk Complex at 23rd and Iowa streets.
Fools Fest consists of a men's and women's college division along with a men's open division, whose winner battles the college winner for the overall title. Each division in this year's event has eight teams. It includes teams from as far as Notre Dame, Indiana and perennial powerhouse Carlton College in Northfield, Minn.
"It's a big tournament because teams are getting ready for regionals and sectionals." HorrorZontals
co-captain Jet Quenemoen said.
Betty and the HorrorZontals each moved from the Central-Northern Regional to the South Regional this season. They will battle in Austin, Texas, April 24 and 25 for the right to play at nationals in Boulder, Colo. The HorrorZontals have accomplished the feat 11 consecutive years.
So does the traveling discourage team members from participating? Not in the least.
"One of the highlights is being able to travel across the country and see cities that you wouldn't normally get to visit," Quenemoen said.
Betty captain and president Stefanie Kerr couldn't agree more.
"Traveling is the best part of the season," she said. "It's a great way to get to know each other. We've become a support unit for each other. The friends will be with me for the rest of my life."
But as any team member will tell you, competitive Ultimate Frisbee is much more than just a club to make friends. Everyone plays to win, while keeping the "spirit of the game" — a phrase stated in the official rules of the sport.
Frisbee survives with no officials. That spirit is tested every time a player makes his own line or foul call.
At a time in sports when boxing judges and Major League Baseball umpires have come under heavy criticism, and the NFL has voted to reinstate instant replay, Ultimate
"When you make an awesome catch and you know you're out of
bounds, it feels good to be honest," Kerr said. "It's that spirit that makes the game so unique and special."
No physical contact is allowed during the game, and when a player initiates contact with another player a foul occurs. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone. Imagine Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams disagreeing with a foul call and receiving a another chance at the play — not likely.
— aspects of basketball come into play as well. Teams play either zone or man defense, depending on personal and weather factors.
Although Ultimate Frisbee resembles football — points are scored by getting the Frisbee to the end zone
Speedy players, such as Oscar Zavarse, Caracas, Venezuela, freshman, who teammates describe as a "defensive nightmare," become as important as the most talented throwers. Defense is always essential, but comes into play most in the wind, something everyone who has thrown a frisbee in Kansas can understand.
ine wind works to our advantage because there could be wind at any tournament, and we're always prepared for that. It makes you be more accurate and precise with your throws," Quenemoen said.
Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules and the basic joy of play.
"Everybody should try it once," Quenmoen said. "Either come out with us or just play in a summer league. It's great."
