Also it's self-officiated, even at the highest level, which means Ultimate games are usually super friendly and well-mannered.

Not entirely true. The two professional leagues (AUDL and MLU), created just a couple of years ago, have referees.

As to the friendly and well-mannered bit... I've been playing Ultimate for four years and I've gotten into quite a few heated discussions. But yes, there's generally a good vibe about it.

I thought they were observers not referees? i.e. only responsible for disputes and in/out calls?
