Disc Don't Lie

Ultimate Frisbee Rules!

The Field: is a rectangle with dimensions 70 yards by 40 yards. The endzones are 25 yards deep and 40 yards wide.
Initiate Play: by having both teams line up at the front of their respective endzone line. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. Regulation games have 7 players per team.
Scoring: occurs when the offensive team completes a pass in the defense's end zone. Play is intitated after each score.
Movement of the Disc: is achieved by completing passes to teammates in any direction. Players cannot run while in possession of the disc. The player in possession of the disc has 10 seconds ("stalls") to throw the disc. The player guarding the thrower ("marker") counts the stalls out loud.
Change of Possession: occurs when a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense can immediately take possession of the disc and becomes the offense.
Substitutions: may occur after a score or during an injury time out.
Non-Contact: no physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are not allowed. A foul occurs when contact is made.
Fouls: when a players intitates contact with another player a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play will resume as if possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.
Self-Officiating: each player on the field is responsible for their own foul and line calls (spectators may not make calls on the field). Players resolve their own disuptes through cordial communication with words.
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 basic joy of play.
Teamwork Makes The Dream Work!
