Study Notes
Game Overview
- Ultimate is a game played by two teams with 7 players on each team.
- The objective is to score more goals than the opposing team.
- A goal is scored when a player throws the disc to a teammate in the opposing endzone.
The Field
- The playing field is 64m long and 37m wide.
- The end zones are 23m areas at each end of the field.
Gameplay
- The game starts with a pull, where teams line up on their own goal lines and one team throws to the other.
- A team has up to 10 seconds to throw the disc to a teammate; failure to do so results in an infraction called 'stalling'.
- Players can pass the disc directly to teammates in any direction, but cannot run with the disc.
- Once a player catches the disc, they must stop immediately and can take one step in any direction to release the disc.
Scoring
- A goal is scored when a player catches the disc in the endzone with at least one foot in the area.
- The first team to score 17 goals internationally or 15 goals in the NCAA wins.
Spirit of the Game
- Ultimate is a self-governing sport, and players are expected to call their own fouls and infractions.
- Players are encouraged to be honest, and dishonesty is frowned upon.
Stall Count
- A defender can count out 10 seconds, and if the player hasn't released the disc within that time, they commit a foul.
- Defenders can be called for fast counting, which allows the player with the disc an additional 10 seconds to release it.
Fouls and Infractions
- Ultimate is a non-contact sport, and contact with opposing players is considered a foul.
- Infractions include traveling (taking more than one step with the disc) and double teaming.
Time Outs and Substitutions
- Teams are allowed two timeouts per half, each lasting 2 minutes, to discuss strategy.
- There are unlimited substitutions, but they can only be made during stoppages in play.
