Ultimate in Ten Simple Rules
By Steve Courlang and Neal Dambra - Copyright (c) Ultimate Players Association, 1993
- The Field -- A rectangular shape with endzones at each
end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with endzones 25 yards deep.
- Initiate Play -- Each point begins with both teams lining
up on the front of their respective endzone line. The defense throws ("pulls")
the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team.
- Scoring -- Each time the offense completes a pass in the
defense's endzone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each
score.
- Movement of the Disc -- 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.
- Change of possession -- When a pass in not completed
(e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes
possession of the disc and becomes the offense.
- Substitutions -- Players not in the game may replace
players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.
- Non-contact -- No physical contact is allowed between
players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is
made.
- Fouls -- 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.
- Self-Refereeing -- Players are responsible for their own
foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.
- 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 the basic joy of play.
