Here's an updated FAQ as of 9/26/6. It includes The Official Rules and a whole raft of useful tips for fast runners and slow runners.

Definitions :

Splendid Frisbee : a non-competitive game in which two or more people run more or less parallel courses while throwing one or more frisbees back and forth. The game has no beginning, and no end. It is over "when we can no longer throw ... or run ... or speak."

The main object of the game is to be amused. Initial skill level is unimportant because good players can compensate for and benefit from bad throws by sprinting and changing direction. The splendidness of the game is due to the somewhat unpredictable movement down the course and the chasing of the frisbee (as opposed to Mundane Frisbee, which is played with persons standing in a circle with feet rooted to the ground).

You :

• have applied your sunscreen at home and washed your hands
• are wearing shoes that you can run in
• can leave your ego at the bike rack
• can run at least 3 miles on sand
• will throw and catch a frisbee while you are in motion
• have good peripheral vision and the ability to spot the frisbee while dodging beach obstacles such as small children (all of whom must be presumed blind when at the beach), large holes that the small children have dug in the sand, seals, kelp tangles, fishing lines, kite strings, incoming waves, etc.

Me :

• Nikes
• Blonde hair
• Purple or magenta bikini, or fleece if it's cold
• Red, white, black, royal blue, light blue, lavender, pearl, pumpkin, or tangerine Frisbee (or several or all of these)
• Silver or black mountain bike

Location :

La Jolla Shores Beach. Meet at the bike rack which is next to the main lifeguard building/tower.

Free Parking :

The parking lot is at Camino Del Oro and Calle Frescota. Street parking is often easier to find in the summer.
