NB: the event runs from 7th-17th July, Ultimate is just shown from 12th-16th.

Where: Birmingham, Alabama, USA

What: The most elite Ultimate in the World, and the showcase of the sport in front of the Olympic committee. The World Games is where sports recognised by the IOC, but not yet part of the Olympics, get to ply their trade.

Known as "Flying Disc" for the duration of the competition, there will be eight countries competing - United States, Australia, Canada, Japan, Colombia, Great Britain, France, and Germany.

The only division at the event is Mixed

Streaming: All games look like they will be streamed. GB games will probably be posted here by someone (please) before they occur so we can get a bit of hype going.
