Frisbee Go

    Keywords: Variant

A net on the grass and the stones are frisbees, to be thrown from a (little) distance.

Frisbee Go was played for the very first time in the EGC 2000, in Berlin-Strausberg. DGoB, the German Go Association, owns three Frisbee Go sets, as of Winter 2018/2019.

Hot Discs

In July 2018, the World Youth Championships in Go took place in Bacharach, on "Burg Stahleck". In free hours, also some Frisbee Go was played with a medium size set (provided by Hebsacker Verlag). The summer 2018 was really hot, and amongst others the frisbee players learned one special lesson: In the sun, black discs become much warmer than white disks, which again leads to different flying and touch-down behaviour.

In the 2016 Computer Olympiad (to take place in Leiden (NL) at the end of June 2016), a Frisbee Go simulation was one of the disciplines: When a player aims for cell (i,j), the stone will go to (i,j) with probability 1 - 4*eps, and to (i-1,j), (i+1,j), (i,j-1), (i,j+1) with probability eps each. The parameter was chosen to be eps = 1/6. (eps = 1/6 also allows to play the simulation with the help of a 6-sided die.) IngoA
