And I've often thought of what could translate to ultimate.<BR/><BR/>The biggest obstacle in translation is the scoring zone. Ultimate's scoring zone is the width of the field, while for AFL, basketball, netball, soccer, water polo, handball, etc. the scoring zone is a fraction of the width of the sideline. The general flow of play in these sports is to move the ball up the sides, then move towards the centre for scoring opportunities. When you're at the endzone, the centre of the field is the the optimal place to score from, but scoring from the sideline is a lot easier than it is in soccer or basketball.Simon Talbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278668970162463261noreply@blogger.com
