b) Half time is at 20th minute or 8 points, whichever comes earlier. Ans
c) Time outs per team – 1 (No timeout after soft cap)
d) Timeout Duration: 1 minute excluding 40 minutes of game play.
e) Tie breaker: Difference in scores, if ties again then head-to-head result.
f) The Pull: Each point starts with a throw-off from the goal line (“pull”). All players just
remain in their end zone until the pull is thrown. At the start of the game a toss decides
which team throws the first pull. After a goal is scored, play stops. The team that scored
stays in that end zone and throws the pull and becomes the defensive team. So, teams
change their direction of attack after each point. If the pull lands outside the playing field
the thrower can either start play from the side line where the disc left the field, or from the
front of the end zone.
g) In-bounds and out-of-bounds: A disc is in-bounds when the receiving player is inside the
playing field when they catch the disc. If you catch the disc after jumping in the air, your first
point of contact must land inside the field. The side lines are not part of the playing field. If
you catch the disc in-bounds, and then momentum takes you out-of-bounds, you must
return to where you left the field before you can throw the disc. You are allowed to throw
the disc so that it flies outside the playing field and then comes back in, as long as it does
not touch anything out-of-bounds and is caught inside the field. If the disc goes out-of-
bounds, it is a turnover. It does not matter which team last touched the disc. Play continues
from the spot where the disc left the field.
h) No running with the disc: You are not allowed to run while you have possession of the
disc (“travel”). After catching the disc while running, you must stop as quickly as possible.
Once you stop, you must keep one foot still, but you are allowed to move the other foot:
this is called pivoting.
35
i) The 10-second rule: The thrower has 10 seconds to throw the disc. A defender can stand
in front of you (remember: no contact!) and count aloud to ten in one second intervals. If
the disc is still in your hand at the “t” of “ten”, the other team gets possession of the disc.
j) Turnovers: The defensive team takes possession of the disc (a “turnover”) if the offence
fails to catch a pass, if they catch it out-of-bounds, or if it is intercepted or knocked down by
a defensive player. Turnovers also occur when:
i. The marker reaches “ten” before the disc was thrown
ii. The disc is handed from one player to another without being thrown
iii. The thrower catches their own throw without the disc being touched by anyone
else
iv. The offensive team tries to catch the pull, but drops it
After an in-bounds turnover the other team may immediately resume play at the point
where the disc was caught or stopped.
B. Fouls, Violations and Infractions

i. Ultimate is a non-contact sport. Physical contact should always be avoided.
ii. Contact that is dangerous or affects the outcome of the play is a Foul.
iii. The thrower may not be defended by more than one player at the same time (“double
team”).
iv. The marker may not come closer than one disc diameter to the thrower (“disc space”).
v. The marker may not hit or grab the disc out of the hand of the thrower. They may
however try to block the disc with their hands or feet after it is thrown.
vi. If opposing players catch the disc at the same time, the offensive player gets possession
of the disc.
vii. Players are not allowed to create shepherds, picks or screens to obstruct the path of
defensive players (“pick”).
C. Other Rules
i. Making a Call: If you believe an opposing player has fouled you, you can call “foul”. If the
disc is in the air, play continues until possession is established (a catch or a turnover). If your
team gets possession, then play continues, otherwise, play stops immediately. After play
stops, you explain what the foul was and discuss this with the other player involved. If the
opponent disagrees that there was a foul, they may call “contest” and the disc is returned to
the previous thrower. If they agree that there was a foul, they call “uncontested” and,
generally, you take possession of the disc. Play is resumed with a “check”: the marker
touches the disc in the thrower’s hand and calls “disc in”.
ii. Scoring: You score a goal if you catch the disc in the end zone that you are attacking. If
you are in the air, your first point of contact must be in the end zone. If your foot touches
the goal line it is not a goal. After a goal, play stops and teams swap which end zone they
are defending. The first team to 15 goals wins, with a time cap of 40 minutes OR Soft cap is
at 32 minutes. No time out after the soft cap. After finishing the point in the 32nd minute,
36
add 2 points to the leading team's score and whoever reaches that score first wins before
the hard cap, which is at 35 minutes. If the game goes into hard cap, you finish the point and
whoever is leading at that stage wins. If there is a tie, teams play for universal point.
iii. Substitution of players: After each point, you may substitute as many players as you
want. During a point a player may only be substituted due to any critical injury. After an
injury, play stops and the other team may also substitute a player, if they wish
D. Spectator Protocol:
a) Spectators will remain outside the field of play during the course of the match.
b) Spectators will not enter the field of play until the match is called as completed by the
referee(s).
c) It shall be an offence for a team if their supporters are found guilty of throwing
objects/missiles at team players or officials during the course of the game. Under these
circumstances, the referee may, at his discretion, choose to abandon the match. When a
match is abandoned due to objects being thrown onto the field of play, by a team's
supporters, the offending team shall forfeit the match points.
