In ultimate frisbee, the term "pull" refers to the initial throw-off at the start of each point. The pull is a long throw made by the team that is starting the point, aiming to land the disc in a favorable position for their team while hindering the opponent’s ability to advance. This play sets the tone for the point, requiring teams to strategize their formation and movement immediately after receiving the pull. It is a critical element in the flow of ultimate games.
