"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Fechtschule Frisbee is this weekend in Massachusetts, but I don't know if there's a formal tournament
