What is Ultimate?

The Basics

Ultimate is a fast paced, non-contact field game that involves running, throwing, catching and teamwork. The disc may be advanced only by completing a pass to a teammate. The goal is to complete a pass into the end zone to score a point. A team may throw as many passes as they wish and possession is retained as long as the disc is in the air -- although the thrower has only ten seconds to release a pass. All turnovers result in an immediate change of possession and a change of direction of play. Games are generally played to fifteen points. Each point begins with a 'pull' from end zone to end zone and teams switch ends after each score.

Ultimate is now played in over thirty countries at many competitive levels from casual summer leagues to national teams.

Spirit of the Game

The Spirit of the Game is running after the disc like its the thing you want the most in the entire world, laying out, and making the catch (It's such an awesome feeling). Then, when you think it can't be any better, as you stand up in the endzone, you see not only your team, but your opponents cheering and congratulating you. It's calling a foul on yourself. It's playing at the highest level your capable. It's helping new players keep their forehands from flopping over. And It's definitely a Beautiful Thing.
- Mike Costa

Spirit of the game is how you feel when the losing captain comes up after the game to congratulate you, not on the win but on the foul you called on yourself. It is something to be more proud of than the most killer inside-out.
- Chris Bostic

"We must have slid 15 feet on our bellies. I was so excited to be playing with so many great people in one place. I had never played with so many fun loving, skilled, weather be damned great people. My opponent was a top player and competing step for step all the way to the end zone on a long huck was a challange in itself, but my first layout D was about a leap of faith that set a fire for my spirit for the game."

Ultimate in Ten Simple Rules

1. The Field -- A rectangular shape with endzones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with endzones 25 yards deep.

2. Initiate Play -- Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective endzone line. The defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team.

3. Scoring -- Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's endzone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.

4. 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 ten seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the stall count.

5. Change of possession -- When a pass in not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.

6. Substitutions -- Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.

7. Non-contact -- No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.

8. Fouls -- 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.

9. Self-Refereeing -- Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.

10. Spirit of the Game -- Ultimate 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.
