The greatest frisbee tournament in the world

The word Frisbee suggests immediately improvisation, sun, wind and freedom, but more precisely SPORT: there are many different disciplines you can practice with Frisbee, some are more acrobatic like Freestyle, some others more competitive like Ultimate, which is a team play with a Frisbee. But all These disciplines share the “Spirit of the Game”, a real style of life.

Thousands of people practice Ultimate all over the world and since 1991 the best of them (more than 1200 coming from 20 different nations) use to meet each other on the beach of Rimini for Easter holiday to play the World Beach Ultimate Cup, better known as “Paganello”.

They call themselves “hey boy”, because the age is not so important in this sport where you can see playing together people of different generations. The most important thing in this sport is loyalty, which is indispensable for a sport played without umpire.

So the key-word for W.B.U.C. is “Spirit of the Game”, competition without dirty play. A Beach Ultimate match is played by two different teams which are composed by five players who are not only responsible for their fouls, but they also act as arbitrator.

The rules of the game are: playing without physical contact, throwing Frisbee with pivot feet as it happens in a basketball match and finally scoring a try like in the game of rugby. Ending a match in a draw is not allowed, you can win or loose.

Rimini Easter is a very special event not only for Frisbee funs but also for people who love staying together. No one, infact, can resist the magic atmosphere of the Paga Village on the beach, which keeps going on till late with shows, exhibitions, entertainments and gastronomic specialities.

A large number of people come as voluntary workers creating a real village, a meeting point where different cultures can fuse together.

The World Beach Ultimate kermesse will start on April 21 2011 with the traditional Welcome Party on the beach and it will end on April 25 with the final.
