- It is played with 2 or more discs (AKA “Frisbees”) simultaneously. (see official rules)
- It is way more fun than most American pastimes.
- It can be played on grass, sand, or snow, and has many cool variations.
- Players may run with the discs (unlike ultimate).
- The playing field consists of a middle line which bisects the globe into the 2 teams’ territories. On the ground within each territory, about 20 meters from the midline, is a 2×2 meter scorebox.
- 8-20 players are divided into 2 teams. Each team is assigned one territory to defend (like capture the flag).
- Scoring occurs by getting a disc to rest on the ground within the scorebox in enemy territory.
- Players with a disc who are tagged by an opposing player in enemy territory must relinquish their disc.
- In practice, the play of Schtick is flexible enough to permit people of widely different disc skills & athletic skills to legitimately face off on the same field.
- It is imbued with a spirit of the game that is rarely paralleled in a sporting world otherwise geared for jocks only. More important than athletic prowess is a flexible mind & willingness to try.
- It is fun for every player almost every time. See what people are saying.
