----

Kirfrisbean is a game involving a standard Frisbee, and played on a football field. It was created in 2006 by Mike Facchin and Joe Kirby.

Origin
The game was created during a standard Frisbee section. Both Mike Facchin and Joe Kirby are extremely competitive with one another, and wanted a way to make a 1v1 game of Frisbee more of a win/lose game.


The Game
The game is played on a foot ball field, where both players have 25 yards on each side. Of the total 50 yards, the 10 yards in the middle consist of a 'dead-zone', where the Frisbee cannot be caught. The object of the game is to throw the Frisbee, and have it land on the other person's zone. Throwing the Frisbee into the other person's zone and having them not be able to catch it, results in a point for the thrower. Only throws that remain anywhere from 100% to 70% parallel to the ground will be counted as a point for the thrower.
If the thrower throws out of the active zone of the other player, or throws something that is less than 70% parallel to the ground, (known as a slicer) the person receiving the Frisbee gains a point.
First to seven points win.
To determine who throws the first Frisbee, the Frisbee is treated just as a coin toss, where the players call heads or tails.

Impact
Kirfrisbean is played by many people in Hazlet, New Jersey.

Controversy
There is often a heated debate with who created the game of Kirfrisbean, with Joe Kirby often calling it "Kirfrisbee", However, the two have since agreed on the name Kirfrisbean.

Health Benefits
Kirfrisbean benefits physical fitness greatly. For example, the fast-flying Frisbee includes use of sensory receptors, which are specialized neurons or epithelial cells that exist singly or in groups with other cell types within sensory organs, such as the eyes and ears.
