SOL March 22

Definition of Ultimate Frisbee in English:

Noun

A team sport in which players seek to score points by passing a frisbee to a teammate over the opposing teams goal line:

accurate throwing is hugely important in Ultimate Frisbee

That was from oxforddictionaries.com
I don't think that definition is very accurate. 

You need to consider it's name: Ultimate Frisbee

First find ultimate's definition (I found this in dictionary.refrence.com and shortened it):

Adjective

1.
last; furthest or farthest; ending a process or series:
the ultimate point in a journey; the ultimate style in hats.
3.
highest; not subsidiary:
ultimate goal in life.
Noun

5.
the final point; final result.
6.
a fundamental fact or principle.
7.
the best, greatest, or most extreme of its kind.

Look at number 7. I like that on best. Now we look at frisbee (dictionary.refrence.com):

Trademark.

1.
a brand of plastic concave disk, used for various catching games bysailing it between two or more players and thrown by making it spinas it is released with a flick of the wrist.

Now, we can take those three definitions (ultimate frisbee, ultimate, and frisbee) to make one:

Ultimate Frisbee:

Noun

1.
The best, greatest, way to use a brand of plastic concave disk in order for players seek to score points by passing a frisbee to a teammate over the opposing teams goal line. There are many variations of this sport.

2.
The most extreme way to use a plastic disk by throwing to other teammates over the opting team's goal line in order to get points


And that is what ultimate frisbee is, though definitions cannot really define things at their core.
