Somewhere upstream from me my outgoing news is being consumed by gremlins.... -David ] *************** This is part one of the rec.sport.disc FAQ [Frequently Asked Questions list]. This file, and its companion file, part two, are posted bi-weekly to rec.sport.disc and news.answers. The posting is designed to answer questions which are commonly asked by new readers of the group, as well as to provide a reliable source of information for regular readers. FAQ Listing: ----------- FAQ.1: This FAQ contains the Questions and Answers for the sports of Ultimate, Disc Golf, and Miscellaneous disc-type questions. FAQ.2: This FAQ contains information which changes on a regular basis, such as UPA and WFDF contacts, Tournement schedules, phone numbers, and so on. Table of Contents: 1) What is Ultimate? 2) What is Disc Golf? 3) Where can I get a copy of the Rules? 4) Am I elgible for Collegiate Disc? 5) What's a MAC, and how do I do it? 6) How do discs fly? [ for the physicist ] a) FAQ information and administrative swill b) Mailing Summary c) Technical Summary 1) What is Ultimate? ---------------- [ This needs to be written. I'm sure the UPA has something nice. ] 2) What is Disc Golf? ----------------- [ Parts of this are paraphrased from the PDGA handbook. ] Disc golf is a recreational (and getting more into professional ranks) sport for everybody regardless of age, gender or ability. One thing is clear, throwing a flying disc with power and accuracy is a great sensation. The object of the game is to traverse a course from beginning to end in the fewest number of throws of the disc(more on what a 'golf' disc is later). Each consecutive throw is made from where the disc came to rest after the last throw. Score is determined by counting the number of throws made on each hole and then summing all holes. The winner is the player who completes the course in the fewest number of throws (OR who ever has the most fun!). A disc golf course consists of a series of holes laid out so that when a player completes one hole he proceeds to the next until all the holes have been completed. The player is provided with a 'tee' area from which to begin each hole and a 'target' such as a disc pole hole(made by the disc golf association). Disc golf courses are often laid out among wooded areas. They may also feature water and large elevation changes. Some courses have few trees and are considered very good. The natural obstacles on a disc golf course are an integral part of the game and should not be tampered with in anyway. Disc golf courses are usually 18 holes in length, however there are also 9 hole and 27 hole courses. The length of each hole also varies anywhere from 150 ft(although i haven't seen one lately) to over 425 feet per hole(average). The longest hole i have seen is 90 feet, the longest is over 1000 feet. Each hole usually has an amateur par(for those just starting out) and a pro par(for the more experienced disc golfer). Terms: Tee - this the area where the player starts each hole. Some courses have multiple tees for each hole. The material on the tee surface varies(concrete, asphalt, dirt, crushed stone, wood chips). In general any flat non slippery surface is good. Target - The target is where the disc must land in in order to complete the hole. The target is usually a 'pole hole' which is specially made to catch the golf disc. Courses that do not use pole holes(or pole hole like targets) are usually known as object courses. A typical 'object target' is a tree trunk, 4x4 or pipe. Golf disc - a 'golf disc' is a flying disc made especially for the sport of disc golf(although some players use whamo type 'frisbees'). Golf discs vary in weight and size. They are usually harder and denser than whamo type frisbees. Special models exist for driving, putting and 'up shots'(not as far as a drive, but more than a putt) much like different clubs exist(drivers,irons,putter) in ball golf. However, players are not required to use a 'driver' as a driver or a 'putter' as a putter. I have often seen players throw a putter as their first shot from the tee. A golf disc generally costs anywhere from $5-7 (US), maybe more or less depending on how many you buy. A professional PDGA tour exists. I have been told that over 100,000 people currently play disc golf. The PDGA currently has about 5000-7000 active members (some play on a professional level for money and some play on a amateur level (non cash prizes)). The top money winner last year won over $16,000 (US). 3) Where can I get a copy of the Rules? ----------------------------------- A anonymous FTP site for the rec.sport.disc archives is being set up. When this has been created, people will be able to get copies of the UPA, WFDF, and PDGA rules via anonymous FTP or mail services. For now, call or write the respective organization listed in FAQ.2. 4) Am I elgible for Collegiate Ultimate under the UPA? -------------------------------------------------- [ I would appreciate it if this space could be filled with a concise summary of the latest UPA rules modifications...I'd love to know exactly how things have been changed. ] 5) What's a MAC, and how do I do it? -------------------------------- A MAC, also known as a "mack", actually stands for Midflight Attitude Correction. In the sport of Ultimate, it usually happens by mistake, but here's how to do it on purpose. To MAC a disc effectively, one needs to be aware of the direction of spin the disc has. The two possibilities are clockwise (originating from a standard backhand throw from a right-handed player) and counterclockwise (a sidearm throw from a right-handed player). The best throws to MAC are hard with lots of Zs (spin). The technique is to allow the disc to be throw at you very hard, allow the disc to pass you, the MACer, on one side of your body or another, and just as the disc is perpendicular to the throw line, touch the side of the disc very briefly. If the throw is clockwise, allow the disc to pass your right side (as you are looking at the thrower) and tap the side of the disc nearest you. The disc will then take a MAC, climbing upward. If the clockwise throw passes on your left, the tap on the side will send it straight into the ground. Switch everything around for a counterclockwise throw. Disc passes you on the left, tap the side of the disc, it takes a MAC and climbs up. Disc passes on your right, tap it on the side, the disc dives down into the ground. There are some neat variations of the MAC, like the foot MAC, which takes some extra practice. Hitting the disc on the outside edge from the thrower is also harder. If you want to see the best MACer alive, watch Dan (Stork) Roddick sometime. He is amazing! (he is also the Sports Director for Wham-O). And no place is better to MAC than on a California beach somewhere. 6) How do disks fly? How can I find out more? ------------------------------------------ This is a listing of articles and research done by various people around the world on how discs fly. Harrison Ka., "Flippin Frisbee", New Scientist, 1990 Aug 11, v127 n1729:67-67. Johnson, Stancil E.D., "Frisbee: A practitioner's manual and definitive treatise", New York: Workman Publishing Company, 1975, ISBN: 0-911104-53-4. Katz, Paul, "The free flight of a rotating disc", Israel Journal of Technology, vol. 6, nos. 1--2, pp. 150--155. Nakamura Y, Fukamachi, "Visualization of the Flow Past a Frisbee", Fluid Dynamics Research, 1991 Jan, v7 n1:31-35. Schuurmans, Mac'e, "Flight of the Frisbee", New Scientist, 1990 Jul 28, v127 n1727:37-40. Schuurmans, Mac'e, "Frisbee: History and aerodynamics", Basel, Switzerland, February 1985 (in German, 51 pages). Simon, Craig, "Frisbee: Beyond catch and throw", 1982 (65 pages). Address: Box 1502, Santa Cruz, CA 95061. Some work has been done on converting discs into interesting weapons, by using the disc to launch either a flare or a hand grenade; these are discussed in some of the above messages. Apparently, the patent applications from Wham-P in the late 1950's are interesting reading material. See the patent section of any well-stocked university library for references in this area. frevi@athena.mit.edu did work as an undergrad (MIT) involving the visualization of flow around a rotating frisbee using dry ice vapor as the tracer aerosol and stroboscopic and conventional photography. In particular, a number of photos were taken of vapor flowing around a disc mounted on a motor in various orientations, the trajectory of a frisbee throw through a sort-of stationary flow field stopped stroboscopically, and various multiple exposures of throw/release motions. The results of the flow studies seemed to indicate that a rotating frisbee induces lift independent of a trajectory vector; i.e. the disc doesn't have to be going someplace to generate lift, just spinning. a) FAQ information and administrative swill ---------------------------------------- This FAQ is maintained as a public service by David Birnbaum.
