Please refer to the Intramural Handbook for general rules/guidelines.

General

• All games will be played on top of the Forum.
• Field boundaries are marked by cones.
• A frisbee and scorekeeper will be provided.
• Games will be scheduled on Mondays 3:30-6:30pm.
• There is only one league, and it is co-ed. You must have both genders represented in the field at all times.

Game Rules (played like soccer with the following adaptations):

1. An “odd-even” method will be used to begin the game. The winner must choose to start on offense or defense.
2. A minimum of 6 players are needed to start, with a maximum of 7 players on the field at one time.
3. Each contest will consist of two 20-minute halves, with a five-minute rest period between halves.
4. Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line. The defense throws ("pulls") the frisbee to the offense.
5. Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.
6. The game ends when:
• Time expires.
• Ties stand in regular season; ties in playoffs will go to sudden death, meaning the next team to score wins
• One team scores twenty-one (21) goals with a margin of victory of at least two (2) goals.
• A game with a score of twenty-to-twenty (20-20) goes into overtime, and play continues until a two-goal margin is achieved or one team scores twenty-five (25) goals.
7. The frisbee may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the frisbee. The person with the frisbee ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the frisbee. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count.
8. When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the frisbee and becomes the offense.
9. Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.
10. No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
11. 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.
12. Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.
13. Ultimate Frisbee 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.
