Abstract Text:

Ultimate Frisbee, a fast-paced and dynamic sport, demands innovative offensive
strategies to outmaneuver opponents and maximize scoring opportunities. This presentation
introduces a simulation-based statistical modeling framework designed to evaluate and compare
the success probabilities of various offensive plays. By integrating player-specific
attributes-such as throwing precision and catching reliability-into a detailed model of frisbee
dynamics, this approach provides actionable insights to optimize team performance. The model
adapts to diverse team compositions and opposing defenses, offering a practical tool to support
strategic planning in this evolving sport.
