Players can only advance the Frisbee by throwing it. But if the defense knocks the Frisbee down or the offense drops it or throws it away, it results in a turnover that immediately leads to the other team's possession. The league, started roughly seven years ago by students at Albert Einstein, has become more organized, attracting many local residents and leading to a tournament team. And we've picked up more and more people since then. We're happy to take anyone who shows up.
Ultimate people are a lot of fun.
This is my community outside of medical school. Competitive games are usually played until a team picks up 13 points, with each completion into the end zone counting for one point. But here at the Bronx State Psychiatric Center field, where the field is fenced off and locked so players must crawl beneath a padlocked chain to gain access, the rules are more relaxed, with points being played for fun and in a competitive environment that also teaches. I like the exercise, the running around and hanging out. I like the competitiveness but at the same time it's laid back.
