Ultimate Frisbee Rules

• 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.

Ultimate Frisbee Rules

• 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.

Ultimate Frisbee Rules

• 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.

Ultimate Frisbee Rules

• 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.

Disc Golf Etiquette

• Pace of play Keep up with the group ahead of
  you. There should be no more than a half a hole
  open at a time.
• Wait your turn The player furthest from the
  hole is the first to play. From the Tee Box the
  student with the lowest score on the previous
  hole will start.
• Dont distract other players,
• rather encourage them.
• Keep your own score.

Disc Golf Rules

• The object of the game is to complete each hole
  in the fewest number of throws. To begin, the
  disc is thrown from the tee area toward the
  target. As a player progresses down the fairway,
  he or she must make each consecutive shot from
  the spot where the previous throw has landed.

13
Disc Golf Rules

• The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in
  and around the fairways provide challenging
  obstacles for the golfer. When you have hit the
  target you will count the total number of throws,
  plus any penalties, and proceed to the next hole.
  At the end of the course, the player with the
  fewest total throws is the winner.

14
Disc Golf Rules

• OUT-OF-BOUNDS all paved areas and beyond
  (example your shot lands on pavement or crosses
  pavement and lands in area beyond). Out-of-bounds
  violations require a one-stroke penalty. Player
  throws from spot where disc entered out-of-bounds
  area.
