Individuals is actually a collection of disc sport disciplines. It consists of discathon and various field events such as accuracy and distance.

Discathon is a race in which players throw their discs, one at at time, through a circuitous 1 km course defined by a series of "tests" and "mandatories," which are typically tall trees and poles. Each mandatory describes a required flight path. The discs thrown by the players shall traverse the entire course, although the players themselves need not follow any specific path. The object is to complete the course in the shortest time possible.

Field events is a general term used to classify individual disc sport events, namely: accuracy, distance, maximum time aloft (hereinafter referred to as "MTA"), throw, run and catch (hereinafter referred to as "TRC"), and self-caught flight (hereinafter referred to as "SCF"). The common link among the field events is the competitive measurement of a particular basic skill. Accuracy measures a player's ability to consistently throw a disc through a specified target. Distance measures how far a player can throw a disc. MTA measures the length of time a player's throw is in the air. TRC measures the distance a player can throw a disc and catch the throw, prior to the throw hitting the ground, and SCF combines the events of MTA and TRC.
