What is a "bid"?
In flying disc sports, a bid is an attempt by a player to catch or intercept a thrown disc, often while jumping or diving to reach it. This move requires great timing and effort, as the player stretches or leaps to make the catch, sometimes while fully extending their body. A bid is commonly seen in games like ultimate frisbee, where players must act quickly to stop the disc from reaching the opposing team, showcasing agility and determination. It is a key skill that can make the difference in gaining possession of the disc.
Example
His bid was unsuccessful as the disc sailed just out of reach.
She made a spectacular bid for the disc, diving full stretch.
We need a strong bid from our defense to regain possession.
