Ultimate in 10 Simple Rules

1. The Field: A rectangular shape with end zones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep.
2. Initiate Play: Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone 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 end zone, 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 is 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-Officiating: 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.

Field Permits
Ultimate Junkies has been provided the rights to use fields 1, 2 and field 3 located at Bayview Park (George Richardson Park) during the times of 5pm – 9pm on Sundays (excluding long weekends) for their Newmarket Ultimate Frisbee League.   If there are other persons/teams using the space during this time please call 905.967.4792 to report any delays you may have encountered. 

Cancelled Games:
If for any reason a game has to be canceled due to a team not showing up or due to poor weather conditions, it is up to the team captain to make arrangements for a make-up game.   If you require additional field space or date changes in order to do so, please contact Ultimate Junkies and we will do our best to provide you with additional playing space.   Should a game end before it is over due to bad weather, it is up to the team captains to call last point to determine the final score.  If weather is a factor due to lightening, teams must immediately exit the field and whatever team has the highest points at that time will automatically get the win (unless team captains’ decide to make-up the game at a later date to determine final scores).  Game results can still be entered into the Leaguerunner system under that original game date.
