WFDF Rules of Ultimate
April 1, 2000
ARTICLE IV - ULTIMATE
Summary: Ultimate is a team sport in which the team with
the higher point total at the end of the game wins. It is played
with two teams of seven players on a rectangular field with an
endzone at each end. A goal, worth 1 point, is scored when a
player/thrower passes the disc to a teammate and it is
successfully caught within the confines of the endzone his or her
team is attacking. The disc may be advanced solely by passing the
disc from one player to another. A player may not run while in
possession of the disc. While the team in possession of the disc
seeks to advance the disc toward the endzone it is attacking, the
opposing team seeks to thwart advancement and obtain possession
by forcing a turnover. A turnover results whenever a pass is
incomplete, caught or knocked down by an opposing player, touches
the ground at any point or is caught by a player out-of-bounds.
No overt contact or tackling is allowed. The sport is played on a
self-officiated basis, with no referees. All line violation,
possession and foul calls are made by the players on the playing
field.
