1 Intramural Ultimate Frisbee

2 Overview 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 that player is attacking.  Players are not allowed to run while holding the disc.  Throwing or passing it to other players advances the disc.  The disc may be passed in any direction.  Any time a pass is incomplete, intercepted, knocked down, or contacts an out-of-bounds area, a turnover occurs, resulting in an immediate change of possession.

3 Equipment Teams are responsible for providing uniforms and wearing like colors (away is dark, and home light) The game is played with any flying disc that is acceptable to both team captains. If the team captains cannot agree, then the disc provided by the Supervisor on duty shall be used. Players need to use closed toed shoes

Up to Three (3) "experienced" players are allowed on the roster. The top overall teams in this division will qualify for playoffs. Champions in this division will earn a picture on the Wall of Fame and a championship T-shirt.

8 Length of Game A standard game is played until one team’s number of goals scored first reaches 11. You do not have to win by 2. Halftime will be called at 20 minutes past the hour. There is a 5- minute break in between halves. The second half starts at 25 minutes past the hour. If games are started late, there is less time for the first half.

9 Caps A soft cap is put on 45 minutes after the scheduled game time. When the soft cap is invoked the teams have 10 minutes to score two additional points greater than the score of the team that is leading at the time the cap is invoked. The supervisor calls a hard cap when time expires at 55 minutes after scheduled game time (at the end of the soft cap). If the score is still tied when the hard cap is called, game will continue until either team scores one additional goal. Games cannot end in a tie.

10 Dead Disc A dead disc occurs at any time the disc touches the ground or is caught out of bounds. It results in a turnover.

11 Game Boundaries The entire playing field is in-bounds.
The out-of-bounds area consists of the ground which is not in- bounds and everything in contact (direct or indirect) with it, including the perimeter lines. For a player to be considered in-bounds after gaining possession of the disc, the player’s first point of ground contact must be completely in-bound.

12 The Thrower The thrower is the offensive player in possession of the disc, or the player who has just released the disc (when a call is made while the disc is in the air). The thrower must establish a pivot at the appropriate spot on the field and may not change that pivot until the throw is released. Failure to do so is a travel and results in stoppage of play and a check.

13 The Marker Only one defensive player may guard the thrower at any one time; that player is the marker. Double-teaming is not allowed. Any additional player who is within 3 yards of the thrower that is not guarding another player is double-teaming. The stall count consists of the marker loudly announcing “stalling” and counting from one to ten loudly enough for the thrower to hear.

14 Fouls Contested foul/strip/violation: Any time a call is made and one team disagrees with that call. Uncontested foul/strip/violation: Any time a call is made and both teams agree on that call. Foul: the result of physical contact between opposing players that affects the outcome of the play.

15 Procedure for Fouls The offended player calls the foul/strip.
If the thrower is fouled/stripped in the act of throwing and the pass is completed, the foul/strip is automatically declined and play continues without interruption. If the marker is fouled in the act of throwing and the pass is not completed, play continues without interruption. Fouls and strips result in a change of possession. If an uncontested foul/strip occurs in the end zone, it is a score. A contested foul/strip in the end zone goes back to the thrower

16 Fair Play In order for a team to reach playoffs, the team must have an average fair play rating of 3.5 or above. Each team starts at a 4 and is brought up or down depending on the sportsmanship and cards of each team. The supervisor on duty can give out yellow and red cards at their discretion if deemed necessary.
