Ultimate Frisbee

The field is a rectangular shape with end zones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep. Teams are comprised of seven players with 5 players playing on the field and to begin. Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone lines. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense’s end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score. 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. When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense. Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score or during an injury time-out. No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made. 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. Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes. 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.
