A
Pan-Fried World Record! On
May 11-13, 2003, members of Pan Fried Funk, as well as a few
adoptees, set the WORLD RECORD for consecutive time playing
ultimate frisbee at 48 hours, 1 minute. PFF broke the
old record, set by Anchorage Ultimate in 1994, by 1 hour,
48 minutes. The WFDF has just made our record official,
viewable now as part of the WFDF's Rulebook:

The record is listed next-to-last, at the bottom.
