You should be allowed to shout out loud and show the entire world that you did something great, of course. This game is about winning, and spirit is a bonus (I know, a necessary and awesome one).<br><br>But spiking the disc simply annoys me because it possibly will bend or break the disc. And doing that during a celebration is not okay in my opinion. I certainly agree on that it in no way should be considered as bad spirit to celebrate whenever you make a great play.

These tournaments are the only ones I get to play in during the winter, and I'm going to play as hard as I can.I spiked this disc after making a catch and hitting the wall, pain played a part.

Having played competitive sports since I was young and having gotten used to there being a lot of emotion involved (and subsequently being let out) when scoring (ie in hockey, soccer, rugby), I totally find it acceptable for a player to spike the disc in ultimate. However, a spike that is directed at another player or a case in which the disc is thrown at another player isn't acceptable so in that case, emotions have to be kept in check.

If you watch all sports, football for example, the only place spiking is accepted is the NFL(the highest level).. Leave the spikes for the UPA's... And if you layed out for a disk get up and spike it thats lame too at any level... If you are spiking at an indoor tournament that's is lame!!!!!!
