TOURNAMENT RULES

Games will be first to 3 points. The top 4 teams with the most wins will face off in a single elimination tournament.


Basic Gameplay:

  • Start:

    Each point begins with a "pull," where one team throws the disc to the other. 

  • Movement:

    Players cannot run with the disc. They must pivot on one foot and pass it to a teammate. 

  • Scoring:

    A goal is scored when a player catches the disc in the opposing team's end zone. 

  • Turnovers:

    A turnover occurs when a pass is incomplete (dropped, intercepted, or goes out of bounds). 

  • Stall Count:

    The thrower has 10 seconds to release the disc after establishing a pivot foot. The defender guarding the thrower (the marker) counts out the stall count. 

  • Fouls:

    Physical contact is not allowed. A foul occurs when a player initiates contact with another player. 

Key Rules to Remember:

  • Non-Contact:

    Players must avoid physical contact. Fouls are called when contact affects play. 

  • Self-Officiating:

    Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls, and disputes are resolved by the players involved. 

  • Spirit of the Game:

    Ultimate emphasizes sportsmanship and fair play. Players are expected to play fairly and resolve disputes amicably. 

Additional Notes:

  • Substitutions: Substitutions are generally made between points. 

Appropriate clothing is required (shirts, pants/shorts, and shoes), with costumes and team outfits being very strongly encouraged!
