Frisbee - Durango Boot
Two teams play the game and they need 2 cones which are set very close together. Each team is usually composed of three players. The game starts by flipping the disc and the teams choose heads or tails; the winner will start their offense.

The teams should be able to achieve 3 points in order to win. The series usually consists of three games.

2. Traveling calls are made for players who put down their hands attempting to knock-over the bottle or cone but the possession is still maintained.
3. The zone ‘take-back’ was replaced by the half-field line. The teams should be able to cross the line so that they can make a score. This line is marked by a boot or shoe.
