Ultimate Frisbee Rules

Length

  • Matches are 55 minutes in length

  • Matches start and end according to your online CSSC schedule.

  • If games start late, games must finish at the scheduled time

  • Games that are forced to be cut short due to time or dangerous playing conditions (ie. weather) will end with the final score being the score at the end of the previous completed inning.

General RuleS

  • 6 players are permitted per team are permitted on the field. A team can play with a minimum of 4 people, as long as two (2) of the players are women and two (2) of the players are men.
    If the game is tied when regulation time has expired, then one more point is to be played in order to break the tie.

  • (A flip of the disc decides who will receive the throw). Field Set-Up:

  • Official 6-on-6 field size is approximately 35 to 40 paces wide and 55 to 60 paces long with end zones 8 to 10 paces deep

  • Half Rule: You may not score from a pass thrown before the halfway line. If an offensive player does catch a disc in the end zone that was thrown before half, the defensive team receives the disc on their own goal line.

  • It is our hope that more experienced teams will assist in the promotion and clarification of the spirit of the game and the rules. If a team or person in unclear on something, explain it to them to enhance the Ultimate experience and not to put them at a disadvantage. This will ensure that all games that are played are heading to a higher and more enjoyable level.

  • Zone defense is permitted, though man-to-man defense is most common with our 6:6 ultimate.
