Summary of Rules
- The Field » A rectangular shape with
end zones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with
end zones 25 yards deep.
- Initiate Play » Each point begins
with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone
line. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. A
regulation game has seven players per team.
- Scoring » Each time the offense
completes a pass in the defense's end zone, the offense scores a point.
Play is initiated after each score.
- Movement of the Disc » The disc may
be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate.
Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc
("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding
the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count.
- Change of possession » When a pass
in not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the
defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the
offense.
- Substitutions » Players not in the
game may replace players in the game after a score and during an
injury timeout.
- Non-contact » No physical contact is
allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul
occurs when contact is made.
- Fouls » When a player initiates
contact on another player, a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts
possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the
player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is
redone.
- Self-Refereeing » Players are
responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their
own disputes.
- Spirit of the Game » Ultimate
stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged,
but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the
rules, and the basic joy of play.
