Throw and Run...
The SCF (Self Caught Flights) event consists of two parts: MTA (Maximum Time Aloft) and TRC (Throw Run and Catch). The idea for both being to catch your own throw with one hand.

In MTA...
the time is measured from the relase until you catch the disc again. A good player may get the disc up in the air up to 12-15 seconds before he/she catches the throw.


Swedish disc legend Fredrik Granåsen takes a dive to catch his TRC-throw...




The MTA world record (16.72 s)is one of the oldest within flying disc sports, it was set in 1984 by US player Don Cain.

In TRC...
you measure the distance between where you released the disc and where you make your catch. A good result in this discipline is 60-90 meters.

The current world record (2003), set by Swedish player Christian Sandström, measures 94 meters!



Five consecutive 60 meter dashes...
In each sub-discipline you have 5 attempts, but you only count the best MTA and the best TRC. This means that a good player actually is doing five 60-70 meter full sprint dashes with only a couple of minutes between each!

A total score is then calculated by taking the MTA time and multiply it by 5.5, and then adding the TRC result in meters. Best total wins the SCF event.
