The annual Frisbee tournament held in Kota Kinabalu is called The Borneo Headhunters Hat.
Its being held today (whole day) at The La Salle School sports ground. It was the first time I had ever seen such a game. The playing area seemed quite large for a game where each team consisted of 7 players (minimum 1 female in each team on the field).
The player with the frisbee cannot run with it; only throw it to another team-mate.
Each play started from one end-zone with the team attacking the other end-zone. A Point was scored for each "touch-down" pass made to the team's player in the opponent's end-zone.
A lot of running was involved; with the uneven ground, it seemed to lead to a number of sprains and leg cramps.
A close-up of one of the frisbees lying around. It seemed that the open tournament in Singapore in 2010 was named The Flyin' Cake Pans. The Singapore Open 2011 seems to be fixed for March 5 & 6 2011.UPDATED (5 March 2011) - As pointed out by Eow (see his comment below), the "flyin' cake pans" graphic is a tribute to the frisbee inventor, who passed away last year. Also the competition in the frisbee graphic is NOT the same as the UPA Singapore Open. Glad to learn more, and also the danger of my simply googling.
