The 'greatest' in Ultimate Frisbee refers to which sequence?

• A. A throw that bounces.
• B. A player catches an out-of-bounds throw in the air and throws in before landing.
• C. A defensive block.
• D. A throw that lands in-bounds.

Answer: (B)

Greatest is a salvage play in Ultimate Frisbee: when a throw goes out of bounds, an offensive player can catch that disc in the air before it lands and throw again before touching the ground. This keeps possession and continues the play in-bounds. The described sequence—catching an out-of-bounds throw in the air and throwing in before landing—is exactly that scenario, making it the best description of the greatest. A throw that bounces, a defensive block, or a throw that lands in-bounds don’t capture this special in-air, out-of-bounds continuation.
