Ultimate rules!!

Watch and read!!

The rules of Ultimate is a game played by two teams, with seven players on each team.

The object of the game is for your team to score more goals than the opposing team.

To score a goal, a player must throw a frisbee to a teammate whilst he´s in the opposing endzone. The disc must completely cross the goal line and the  receiving player must keep at least one foot in the endzone for a goal to count.

The playing field is 64m long and 37m wide and the endzones are 23m áreas at each end of the field

The game starts by pulling the disc. Teams line up on their own goal lines and one team throw to another. Once a team has possession of the disc, they have up to 10 seconds to throw the disc to a teammate. Failure to do this results in an infraction called “stalling” and the other tea mis awarded the disc.

You can pass the disc directly between teammates in any direction, but you´re not allowed to run with the disc. In fact, once you catch the disc, you must stop immediately. You are then allowed one step in any direction to release the disc.

The idea is to move the disc up the field and be able to set up a player to catch the disc in the endzone.

The opposing team will try to stop you by blocking discs in the air, intercepting the  disc or forcing their opponents to either drop the disc or throw it out of bounds.  If this happens the opposing team will gain possession of the disc.

They will try to take the disc away from you so that they can score themselves.

Once a goal has been scored, both teams change ends. Once 9 goals have been scored by any one team , this is the end o the first half. The first team that scores 17 goals wins.

In Ultimate players are expected to call their own fouls and infractions. Players are generally encouraged to be honest. And it´s generally frowned upon to be dishonest, rude or aggressive to their opponents.

Stall count, you have 10 seconds to reléase the disc. The nearest defender can count out of 10 seconds and if the player hasn´t  released the disc within this 10 seconds, he is guilty of stalling and the disc goes to the other team.

Ultimate is a non contact sport, and any form of contact with opposing players are generally called as a foul. Dangerous contact with players is strictly forbidden. Infrantions are usually called when a player breaks one of the rules, such as travelling (where a player takes more tan one step with the disc) or doublé teaming each of these results in the disc being given to the non-offending team.
