It seems required for North American Ultimate internetters, bloggers and others to have a view on spirit of the game, cheating, use of observers and so forth.
Its been passionately and extensively written on.
Since we're getting more visits here at stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion from "over there" (Hey there, and Happy Canada Day and/or Fourth of July), I figured I'd offer my main insight.
I've played a lot of field-team sport with referees, umpires and linespeople - over twenty seasons of soccer, three seasons of field hockey, half a dozen games of aussie rules, a season of netball, a season of cricket, five seasons of rugby league and three of seasons of basketball.
In all of these I experienced far more cheating than in seven years of unrefereed Ultimate.
I'll leave it at that.

Learn to Play
The fabulous UQ gang are organising two weeks of "Learn to Play". While geared for people getting into the upcoming UQ Social League, anyone can get on down and learn to play Ultimate.
Ultimate players - this is one of the best ways to get your friends into Ultimate. Its no-cost, no-hassle. There will be heaps of other beginners thanks to the grand UQ O-Week recruitment efforts. Round them up and get them down there, and get along yourself and give them a hand (we all know the Spirit Goddess karmically rewards you for helping out with new players).
Learn to Play Ultimate - Wednesday 27 February and Wednesday 5 March from 6pm at Oval 7, UQ St. Lucia. Corner of Sir Fred Schonell Drive andColeridge Street - http://www.uq.edu.au/maps/index.html?menu=1 Take a light shirt and a dark shirt with you, a waterbottle and cleats if you have them.
