  • Mixed teams to use Gender Ratio Rule A & Gender Pull as outlined on page 11 of the 2024 Canadian Ultimate Championship Masters Series Manual

  • No timeouts after the Hard Cap horn 

HORN MEANINGS  

(1) long horn signifies one of two things, as is context-appropriate:

• The beginning of a new game slot.  

• That the game has reached Hard Cap. Once you hear this horn, finish the point and the game is over unless both teams are tied, then play one last point to determine a winner. 

(3) long consecutive horns signify that lightning has been seen. STOP PLAY immediately and seek shelter at Disc Central or in your car. Consult the lightning section found earlier in this document.
