Following their championship victory last week, the Ramaz Ultimate Frisbee team has earned another major honor: they finished the season with the highest spirit score in the league.
In Ultimate Frisbee, Spirit is a formal scoring system: Each team rates the other on fairness, rules knowledge, safety, communication, and respect. Spirit is Ultimate’s version of menschlichkeit; it recognizes not just how a team plays, but how they treat others, handle disagreements, and carry themselves under pressure. What makes Ramaz’s accomplishment especially noteworthy is how uncommon it is to win a championship and also earn the highest Spirit ranking. Being recognized by their opponents as the most respectful, fair‑minded, and positive team while capturing the league title is an amazing achievement. Kol hakavod to everyone!
