Competitors should report to the main tent area at 12:30 PM. Each team may enter one female and one male competitor for each event. A player may not enter multiple events. Huck Competition: Everyone loves the long bomb! The rules are simple in this popular event - throw the disc as far as you can. The disc that lands the furthest from the start line wins. Throwing Accuracy: Every good quarterback needs an accurate arm. For this accuracy test targets will be set up at various distances from the thrower. Players will compete to hit targets using a variety of throws. Speed Challenge: Ultimate is a fast paced game so were calling on all you speedsters out there. For this event each team will enter a four person relay team (two female and two male). The fastest team to complete this relay race wins.
