Rules for Ultimate
Ultimate in Ten Simple Rules

Ultimate Players Association, 1993
The Field
-- A rectangular shape with end zones at each end. A regulation field is 70
yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep.
Initiate
Play -- Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of
their respective end zone 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 end zone, 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.
