 Ultimate is a non-contact disc sport played by two teams of eight players with the 

objective of scoring goals.  A goal is scored when a player catches the disc in the end zone that player is attacking.  A player may not run while holding the disc.  The disc is advanced by passing it to other players.  The disc may be passed in any direction.  If a pass is incomplete (i.e., hits the ground, is caught out-of-bounds, or is intercepted by a defensive player), a turnover occurs, resulting in an immediate change of the team in possession of the disc.  An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through physical contact is a foul.  

PLAYERS

 8 players on the field per team.

 Teams must have at least 2 males and 2 females on the field at all times.

 Substitutions can be made on touchdown

 

DURATION OF GAMES

 Games will consist of two, 24-minute halves.

 There is no overtime if the end of regulation ends in a tie

 Each game will have a 5 minute halftime

 Games can end in a tie except for Finals, when a 5 minute overtime will

commence if regulation has ended in a tie. If overtime ends and the game is still tied,

a 3 disc throwoff will determine the winner.  1 player will throw for distance.

 Referees may increase or decrease game length and half-length at their own

discretion.

 

HOW TO PLAY

 The team winning the coin toss elects to receive or kick off.(“pull”). The thrower

pulling, must release the disc in his end zone, and his teammates cannot move

up field until he has released the disc. If the disc is thrown out of the back of the

end zone, play starts at the receiving team’s 20 yard line. They may also catch

the disc in their end zone, and go down on one knee. This is a touchback and

play starts at the 20 yard line. 

 Any catch by the receiving team in front of their end zone is live, and play starts

from there. If the disc lands on the ground or is dropped by the receiving team on

the kick-off, it is ruled dead. Play starts at the point of the drop of the Frisbee on

the ground. This is the only time where a dropped Frisbee does not result in a

turnover.

 The team in possession now starts the play. The disc must be passed or thrown

to a teammate who must catch it. A player cannot advance more than three steps

while holding the disc. A defensive player must give the offensive player an arm’s

length of space to throw the Frisbee. Contact is not allowed!

 If a throw is intercepted, the defensive team assumes possession and switches

to offense. If the disc is thrown and hits the ground, this also results in a change

of possession.

 

 The offensive player who possesses the disc must establish a pivot foot like

basketball. This foot cannot leave the ground once established. A player

switching pivot foots will be called for a traveling violation resulting in a change of

possession.

 A team scores when they catch the disc into their opponent's end zone. . The

disc may not be caught outside of the boundary lines of the end zone. A

"touchdown" or "score" counts as one point. Having one foot in bounds when

catching is not out of bounds.

 A player may dive, taking off with both feet inbounds, and tip or flick a disc

thrown out of bounds, back in bounds to a teammate, as long as their feet never

touch out of bounds before they make contact with the disc.

 A disc is not dead until it hits the ground thus allowing players to bend throw out

of bounds and have it return to the field of play as long as it doesn’t touch the

ground.
