Ultimate Frisbee is now known in many countries simply as the less-catchy "Ultimate" due to the fact that Frisbee is 8️⃣ a registered trademark.
It is a fast-paced sport with similarities to netball, football (soccer) and American Football.
Played by around five million 8️⃣ people in the US and with leagues in the UK and other European countries, Ultimate is a far cry from 8️⃣ the humble origins of the Frisbee.
As with many inventions there are multiple reported variations on how Frisbees came to be, 8️⃣ but the commonly agreed version is that it comes from the Frisbie Baking Company, whose empty metal pie tins were 8️⃣ thrown by college students in the 1920s.
Subsequently, in 1948, Walter Morrison invented a plastic version with improved aero-dynamics, and then 8️⃣ followed the Pluto Platter.
