[@tuhtty]

fair few more than ten there

[@ligemerrill6368]

Think it's supposed to be a play from each week's top ten that they put out. Title doesn't communicate that, though.

[@lildmckay]

@@ligemerrill6368That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for clarifying.

[@myosrsmemorybank4277]

I counted 10

[@playultimate]

These plays are amazing. Ultimate is the best sport ever!

[@peacefuljeffrey]

It truly is. If only the troglodytes watching NFL football knew about this. Televised Ultimate should displace just about every other pro sport.

[@jaymacpherson8167]

Some SWEET plays and AWESOME dives for the catch!

[@solfeinberg437]

Number 30 for the flyers could've concussed himself and Henkie if he'd left his feet too. I'm glad he pulled up. 8:10.

[@EmptyHouseGuy]

Yeah that's the definition of a dangerous play - defender could make a play but chooses not to because it's unsafe.

[@nolanross7841]

huge respect for him because he could have made the D

[@Darkknight2001]

These should definitely be numbered. However, there are several contenders for #1, I'm not sure how I would even rank them.

[@pugsnhogz]

There's no contest for #1 this season. If you don't know, you better ask somebody! ;P

[@pugsnhogz]

(jk they put it last bc it's clearly #1)

[@Huttares]

I love ultimate frisbee. Playing it for my high school rn

[@silver_ipad_games]

Wish my high school had it, I’d be amazing

[@zanido9073]

8:40 is by far the best play here, holy shit.

[@sadiefisher9688]

no its not.

[@jalenwest3453]

That buzzer beater from the COL-OAK game had one of those Buzz Bullets travels on it 😅😂👀

[@ccstreifel]

DUNC DUNC DUNCAROOS

[@Megu-ow2jm]

The players are all amazing! I want to play like them too.

[@cristiangomez7147]

How cool I clicked on this as an accident and for a second I thought I was high af watching a football game with a frisbee lmaoo uf looks very cool to play

[@kristaphorgraves4175]

I just started playing recently. Try to find a local pickup league and make it out. It’s good fun.

[@MrHeadbangerCE]

Very cool! I'll use it in the Physical Education classes at the school where I work in Brazil.

[@brandoncousar6033]

Why are these not numbered💀

[@bookworm0008]

because there’s more than 10

[@markbracken6588]

respectfully, the call was most definetly down at 4:49 but the officials really just gave it to him for the effort

[@nikita_swc]

Hello! I have two frisbee discraft ultra-star 175g since 2018, but today when I threw upwards to make them come back like a boomerang, when they hit the ground they broke after a few attempts! Previously, in winter they did not break when they crashed into trees and other objects. Has the expiration date expired or should it be released carefully due to the temperature?

This game actually fun

[@jumbo6498]

I feel the turf burn from here.

[@Sircharlesbailey]

How is it that American sports commentators all sound like they are the same guys no matter if it’s cross fit, ultimate frisbee, air hockey you know all those world wide sports

[@JohnMKim-nt2li]

[@alonzojones6995]

the game that will replace soccer in the future. Long live Ultimate!

[@idfk8268]

You’re taking this piss aren’t you?

[@nickcochenour8140]

I love ultimate but you can't be FR?

[@jshmish]

Idk about replacing soccer, but I do hope it becomes more popular

[@willcordes4584]

i think Clutton's tip was the best play of the year

[@R-C_42]

Ultimate frisbee really is the “boys” sport lol

[@h4nn3sk]

I think at the AUDL we can see probably the best Frisbee plays in this World

[@user-vy3qf2jw1o]

i have ever played ultimate friesbee but am goin for the team try outs

[@user-vy3qf2jw1o]

never*

[@HARSHBSONIGRABEYONDBUSINESS]

ABEY YEH GAME HE

[@prestonharris6794]

Ok how was Jonathan nethercutt's 40 yard hammer in here but Sean cannole's freaking 85 yard backhand huck wasn't🤨

[@braindeadmetalhead3634]

I completely forgot about this sport. I watched it all the time as a kid! Is it still big?

[@myosrsmemorybank4277]

Not really

[@samgames4417]

I mean, it’s probably expanded demographics from when you were a kid. There are less people playing, but it is likely more professional because there are national and international teams that have sprung up in the last couple years.

[@youatemycheeto]

I don't know why number 10 wasn't in the top 3.

[@isaacmiller1943]

Where is Lucas Ambrose’s greatest? And how can New York win the entire season with no top tens

[@ParhelionMedia]

Because Ambrose's D highlights are better and so is Matt Smith's greatest. NY certainly had the best team, but I guess not top 10 highlights🤷

[@lorenzojaketan4674]

3:58 - Keenan Laurence, Oakland Spiders (Week 8) Open for correction, but isn't this a travel? Thanks

[@NQbass7]

That's what I was wondering too, I'm not sure he got any extra reach by moving his foot that way, but his foot was definitely off the ground when he released.

[@Sander_44]

@@NQbass7 If you go frame by frame, the disk did leave his hand before he moved his pivot foot. So it isn't a travel

[@youvebeensubbedto8009]

stupid of 3:53 to… break the frisbee in celebration?

[@vireogilvus]

I couldn't agree more. So, so stupid and wasteful and I hate it. SOTG seems to be a distant memory at this point

[@bobthepancake2870]

He just made a great score and wanted to celebrate. No taunting or disrespect of the other team, nothing rude to the fans, just excitement. It’s no different than spiking a football on a touchdown

[@vireogilvus]

@@bobthepancake2870 it’s very different. A football doesn’t get destroyed in the process. The disc is rendered useless

[@bobthepancake2870]

@@vireogilvus And Discraft sponsors AUDL, so they’ve got plenty of discs, not to mention they’re really inexpensive to make, especially in bulk. It’s a plastic circle, probably easier to make than any other sport ball or equipment

[@samgames4417]

@@vireogilvusa frisbee costs a couple bucks, and most people just bend it back anyways. It’s frowned upon usually, but these are big games. It’s fine.

[@andrewyew1779]

No one saw travel on Oakland's #14? he moved his pivot foot. Even with refs, this is not called?

[@lore6458]

[@11sc.shreyasbhattacharya16]

Why can't u just run with the frisbee till the end 😅

[@samgames4417]

You can’t move with the frisbee

[@asgrimurhartmannsson]

Ooh! Flat earth football!

[@Revolt4Change]

Wtf, this a sport😂 who knew and didn’t tell me? 😑

[@knynewest]

Too many jump ball buzzer beaters which I think are gross.

[@peacefuljeffrey]

I love this sport, but I’m dismayed to see that it now has “officials,” and a time limit. That isn’t how the sport was originally devised. It loses something now that it’s like most other sports.

[@vireogilvus]

I don't mind celebrations or clever spikes that don't hurt the disc, but spikes that warp/bend/destroy discs are stupid and need to be retired. To this viewer, it completely erases whatever greatness may or may not have just happened. It disrespects the disc and the game, it is wasteful, and I'd love to see the AUDL, but more importantly ultimate culture, take steps to do away with them

[@markwilkie7633]

Frisbee is not a sport.

[@chikntendaz1856]

Why not?

[@garnerthecube7524]

Evidently, it is.

[@bobthepancake2870]

And the queen of England is immortal

[@samgames4417]

What is then?

Previously, in winter they did not break when they crashed into trees and other objects. Has the expiration date expired or should it be released carefully due to the temperature?

[@samgames4417]

You may have thrown them too high at too extreme of an angle. They will crack easier if they hit perpendicular to the ground, espescially on concrete. You should just generally avoid throwing your frisbees like that unless you are on grass, but cracking a few is bound to happen
