A number of games have evolved which are derived or similar to Ultimate, but played with different rules. These games are often played when available fields or teams are too small for a full sized ultimate game.

Schtick disc | an Ultimate variant played with two discs where running with the disc is allowed;[12] generally more forgiving operations of play than most team sports makes the game more fun and accessible to players of varied abilities than traditional ultimate.[13] The game was conceived and pioneered by a group of friends from Delaware, USA and/or graduates of Rice University, and was first played in 1994 on Assateague Island.[14] It has since been played throughout the US and in Australia as well, having been featured at Sydney’s Longest Day Beach Ultimate Tournament since 2001. Typically a football half-way line is used to mark the midline, as precise knowledge of the line’s position is frequently required for tactical play. Scoreboxes can be marked out by any means that is easily visible, though traditionally bundled socks or knotted rags have been used.[15] |
