Ultime in Eight Easy Rules (adapted from Steve Courlang and Neal Dambra, Copyright Ultimate Players Association, 1993.

1. INITIATE PLAY: Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line. The defense throws the disc to offense.

2. SCORING: Each time the offense completes a pass in the defenses end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score.

3. MOVEMENT OF THE DISC: The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a team mate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc ("thrower") has 10 seconds to throw the disc. The defender guarding counts out the stall count.

4. 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.

5.NON-CONTACT: No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited.

6. FOULS: When a player initiates contact with 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.

7. SELF-REFEREEING: Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.

8. 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.
