Governing Body 

USA Ultimate Rules will govern play except as noted 

What is Ultimate?

– Ultimate is a non-contact disc sport played by two teams of seven players. The object of the game is to score goals.

– A goal is scored when a player catches any legal pass in the end zone

– A player may not run while holding the disc

– The disc is advanced by passing it to other players, the disc can be passed in any direction

– Any time a pass is incomplete, a turnover occurs, resulting in an immediate change of the team in possession of the disc

Equipment 

– Official Disc of USA Ultimate

– No metal cleats will be permitted 

– All players must wear the same colored team shirt, no number is required

Playing Field

– The playing field will measure 90 yards x 40 yards

60 yards of playing space, 15 yard end zones on each end of the field 

Length of Game 

A game is played until one team reaches or exceeds the point cap or time cap. Games will be broken into two 25 minute halves with a 3 minute half time.

Time Cap | 50 minutes

Point Cap | 11 points

Half Time | 3 minutes

– If a team is tied at 45 minutes, the next team to score is the winner

This rule will not apply for medal games 

At 50 minutes teams can proceed to finish the point after time expires however if possession is lost at any point after time expires no point is scored half/game is over

Ex. Blue team has possession of the Frisbee when time expires, if the blue team loses possession at any point after time expires the half/game is over, the opposing team will not be allowed to pick up the Frisbee and try for another point.

 Bracket Play Tie Breaker

– Throw off – one player from each team will throw the ultimate as far as they can from the endzone, the furthest throw within the field of play takes the next point and wins that game 

Time-Outs

Each team will have (2) 1 minute time outs per half  *Game clock will stop for time outs* 

Initiate Play

– Offense and defense is determined with a disc or coin flip at the beginning of the game 

– Play begins by each team lining up in their resepctive end zones 

– The defense throws the disc to the offense 

– Play is 7 v 7 

Scoring

– Player must score with 2 feet in the endzone 

– Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense’s end zone, the offense scores a point

– Scoring team will transition to defense 

– Scoring team stays in end zone, defensive team walks to other end zone 

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 10 seconds to throw the disc 

– The defender guarding the thrower “marker” counts out the stall count 

– If  the stall count expires without the thrower moving the disc, it becomes a turnover 

Change of Possession

– When a pass is not completed | ex. out of bounds, drop, block, interception, stalled 

– 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, injury or timeout

– If the palyer committing the foul disagrees with the foul call the play is redone

Officiating

– Ultimate is a self officiating game 

– Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls 

– Players resolve their own disputes
