Q&A for How to Play Ultimate Frisbee

When a pass is completed in the end-zone, you get one point. After that, the play restarts by "pulling" the disk from the same end-zone.

Only one player is allowed to guard the disk (within 3 meters of the player with disk). However, provided they stay outside of the 3 meter mark, there can be any number of additional people blocking throws. Check out "zone defense" if you want more info on that.

You're not allowed to jump. It counts as traveling because both of your feet left the ground. You can pivot as long as one leg stays on the ground. Only your throwing leg can move, so you can do the stance.

You can touch it when: - It's been passed to you - During the swinging motion in which you try to hit it out of the hand of the thrower - Trying to intercept it - During a check

You are allowed a few steps to stop your momentum. Excessive movement that is obviously not trying to stop momentum would be considered a travel.

Watch a highlight reel of Brodie Smith and you'll see.

You don't need to pass a certain number of times before scoring. However, the best way to score is to steadily advance up the field instead of hauling the disc up field.

Per the original rules, you can't move. However, over the years, there have been some modified versions that allow you to take one, two or sometimes three steps before you throw it.

If your team drops the frisbee, it is the other team's turn to have it.

If there is an incomplete pass, the team opposing the team who threw it gets the Frisbee, even if that team touched it last (knocked the frisbee down, almost caught it, etc.).

The biggest difference is that you're throwing a disc instead of dribbling a ball. There are different rules to each game, too.

Joel Silver, Jonny Hines, Buzzy Hellring, and others developed Ultimate Frisbee in 1968 at Columbia High School in New Jersey.

Ultimate Frisbee is typically played in the spring months (March through May).

Flight Ratings are broken into four main categories: Speed, Glide, Turn, and Fade. These characteristics can be used to rate various aspects of each disc's flight. Each disc has a distinct "personality"; the flight path that makes that disc unique. Flight Ratings can be used to compare Innova golf discs to each other.

After you get the disc, you must stay in the spot where you landed. if you run, it will be called as travelling.

A missed catch where the disc lands on the ground, an interception, or if the disc is thrown out of bounds.

It depends on how many players you have; you may need to find a substitute for the fouled player.

It is considered a turn over and possession goes to the opposing team. However, if your opponent initiated contact with the Frisbee while you where not in the process of throwing (knocking it out of your hand, for example), it is a neutral zone infraction and you would retain possession. However, a blocked throw is a turn over if the blocker was outside of the 3-foot neutral zone.

After gaining possession of the Frisbee, the thrower has ten seconds to complete a pass to a teammate. This ten-second time limit is counted off audibly by the defender, and players must work together to enforce time penalties with sportsmanship and respect.
