Can we get a [serious] tag for some of these posts? I would love to be able to have real discussion without the trolls automatically taking over.
If we're talking about enforcing rules and being self officiated, I only make calls if it's obvious that someone is trying to gain an unfair advantage. No reason to penalize someone if they gain no advantage (or sometimes put themselves at a disadvantage) from a rules deviation anyway.
Can you explain what you mean? Spirit of the game is not really a rule. It's a philosophy that should permeate disc sports. Be a good sport, play with integrity, self officiate.

I'm probably wrong, and should go look before posting, but what fun would that be? I think it comes from Ultimate, it's the notion that you call out violations on yourself in the "spirit of the game." You're supposed to care more about getting it right than winning.
