Ultimate Rules
-
Play with two seven person teams.
-
Start play with teams lining up on their
end zone lines. One player throws the disk
to the opponents. If it goes out of bounds,
the receiving team can start where it went
out or ask for another throw.
-
Play proceeds downfield to the end zone at
the opposite end of the field. Players can
go anywhere on the field at any time and
can throw in any direction. Players may not
run with the disk. The person who has the
disk (the "thrower") has 10 seconds
to throw it.
-
Whenever a pass is incomplete, intercepted,
knocked down, or flies out of bounds, possession
of the disk changes.
-
Physical contact is not allowed between players.
Any physical contact is a foul. A fouled
player gets the disk where the call was made.
Players are responsible for their own foul
calls and resolve their own disputes.
-
When the offense completes a pass in the
defense's end zone, it gets a point.
-
Follow this final rule from the Ultimate
Players Association: "Spirit of the
Game" - Ultimate stresses sportsmanship
and fair play. Competitive play is encuraged,
but never at the expense of respect between
players, adherence to the rules, and the
basic joy of play.
