Which organization is cited as being able to explain the Spirit of the Game?

• A. FIFA
• B. NBA
• C. IOC
• D. USA Ultimate Governing Body

Answer: (D)

Spirit of the Game in Ultimate Frisbee is all about fairness, respect, and self-officiating. It means players take responsibility for calls, resolve disputes constructively, and prioritize good sportsmanship over winning at any cost. The organization that explains and guides this principle for Ultimate in the United States is the USA Ultimate Governing Body. They provide the official guidance on how Spirit of the Game should look in play, publish rules and behavior standards, and support leagues and players in upholding it on the field. Other organizations govern different sports—FIFA for soccer, NBA for basketball, and the IOC for Olympic matters—and they don’t provide the official explanation of Spirit of the Game for Ultimate.
