Saturday was a long day of playing frisbee. Our team here at BTU, Team DISCover (nerdiness is definitely a big product of technical schools), invited people from other areas to come play Ultimate Frisbee with us. There were a few people from Dresden and then a whole lot of people from various cities across Poland. The language of the day was English, but many of us German speakers often found ourselves speaking English with one another until we realized with whom we were speaking.
Each of the 6 teams was a mixture of players from various places. In my team I had two other DISCover players, one girl from Dresden, and three people from Poland. Games lasted 27 minutes. Each team played 6 games in total throughout the day, with typically an hour break in between each game. Five players are on the field at a time, so most teams had at least two substitutes to switch with the tired and weary (one or two teams had 8 team members).
I tried to drink a lot of water and eat in between each game (I brought chocolate chunk cookies for the buffet and people liked them). It paid off. I had the energy to keep sprinting hard until the end.
It was a good experience to play with people from outside of my BTU group because I acquired some new ideas on how to play well.
Here's a couple of videos from yesterday to show you the game of Ultimate Frisbee, but you'll find more photos on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/larriettasimon/
