7. Ultimate Frisbee Rules
The Field -- A rectangular shape with endzones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with endzones 25 yards deep.
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.
Scoring -- Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's endzone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.

8. Ultimate Frisbee Rules
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.
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.
Substitutions -- Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.

9. Ultimate Frisbee Rules
Non-contact -- No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
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.
Self-Refereeing -- Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.

10. Ultimate Frisbee Rules
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.

11. Disc Golf Etiquette
Pace of play – Keep up with the group ahead of you. There should be no more than a half a hole open at a time.
Wait your turn – The player furthest from the hole is the first to play. From the Tee Box the student with the lowest score on the previous hole will start.
Don’t distract other players,
rather encourage them.
Keep your own score.

12. Disc Golf Rules
The object of the game is to complete each hole in the fewest number of throws. To begin, the disc is thrown from the tee area toward the target. As a player progresses down the fairway, he or she must make each consecutive shot from the spot where the previous throw has landed.

13. Disc Golf Rules
The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. When you have hit the target you will count the total number of throws, plus any penalties, and proceed to the next hole. At the end of the course, the player with the fewest total throws is the winner.

14. Disc Golf Rules
OUT-OF-BOUNDS: all paved areas and beyond (example: your shot lands on pavement or crosses pavement and lands in area beyond). Out-of-bounds violations require a one-stroke penalty. Player throws from spot where disc entered out-of-bounds area.
