Accuracy
This event is a classic frisbee sport where each player throws 4 shots at the target from 7 different positions: three straight, two left-curves and two right-curves. The player with most hits wins the game, and even it may sound easy the world record is 25 (out of 28 possible hits).
The three straight stations are positioned 13.5m, 22.5m and 31.5m away from the target. The curved shots are from the same distance except the longest placement, but they are positioned so far left and right that you feel you are hitting the target sideways. That is of course not the case, but it takes a very good curve to go through the hoop.
Accuracy is great fun but not played enough. It would be fun to see more tournaments where an accuracy field was set up, so you could have a chance to show your skills in the lunch break, after the ultimate game or the last round of golf.
