History and Objective

• Joel Silver proposed a school Frisbee team on a
  whim in the fall of 1967. The following spring, a
  group of students got together to play what
  Silver claimed to be the "ultimate game
  experience," adapting the game from a form of
  Frisbee football.
• Jared Kass created the game with a group of
  friends while at Amherst College. The students
  who played and codified the rules went to
  Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ. The game
  became identified as a counter culture activity.
• The object of the game is to score points by
  passing the disc to a player in the opposing
  end-zone. The outcome of a match is usually
  determined by one team achieving a predetermined
  number of points first. This ensures that a team
  can only win by scoring, rather than by running
  the clock down.

Rules there are no referees in Ultimate
Frisbee, all players call infractions on
themselves and team mates in what is call the
spirit of the game

• Regulation ultimate is played between two teams
  of seven players. In informal "pick-up" games,
  the number of players varies. Substitutions are
  allowed between points and teams are usually able
  to have around 20 players on their roster in a
  major tournament.
• To start play the players line up at the edge of
  their respective end zones, and the defensive
  team throws, or pulls, the disc to the offensive
  team to begin play. Pulls, are the first throws
  in a game.
• The game is played using a 175gram disc
• The disc may be moved in any direction by
  completing a pass to a teammate. A player
  catching the disc must stop after a few steps to
  run out their momentum, and can only move their
  non-pivot foot.
• Upon receiving the disc, a player has ten seconds
  to pass it.
• The defender is not allowed to stand closer than
  three ft. of the thrower and while defending
  counts out the ten seconds the thrower has by
  counting Stall one, Stall two, etc to stall ten.

Rules Continued

• An incomplete pass results in a change of
  possession. When this happens the defense
  immediately becomes the offense and gains
  possession of the disc where it comes to a stop
  on the field of play, or where it first traveled
  out of bounds.
• Reasons for turnovers
• Throw-away The thrower misses his target and
  the disc falls to the ground.
• Drops The receiver is not able to catch the
  disc.
• Blocks A defender deflects the disc in mid
  flight, causing it to hit the ground.
• Interceptions A defender catches a disc thrown
  by the offense.
• Out of Bounds The disc lands out of bounds,
  hits an object out of bounds or is caught by a
  player who lands or leaps from outside the
  playing field.
• Stalls A player on offense does not release
  the disc before the defender has counted out ten
  seconds.

Rules Continued

• Play may stop in a game for the following
  reasons
• Foul A foul is the result of contact between
  players
• Violation A violation occurs when a player
  violates the rules but does not initiate physical
  contact
• Time outs and half-time Each team is allowed two
  time outs per half
• Injuries Play stops whenever a player is injured

Strategies of the game

• Offensive strategies
• One of the most common offensive strategies is
  the vertical stack. In this strategy, the offense
  lines up in a straight line along the length of
  the field. From this position, players in the
  stack make cuts towards or away from the handler
  in an attempt to get open and receive the disc.
• Another popular offensive strategy is the
  horizontal stack. In the most popular form of
  this offense, three handlers line up across the
  width of the field with four cutters up field,
  also lined up across the field. It is the
  handler's job to throw the disc up field to the
  cutters.
• Defensive Strategies
• The simplest and often most effective defensive
  strategy is the one-on-one defense (also known as
  man-on-man or just man), where each defender
  guards a specific offensive player.
• Zone defense strategy, the defenders cover an
  area rather than a specific person. The area they
  cover moves with the disc as it progresses down
  the field
