Coed Ultimate Frisbee Rules

Intramural Ultimate Frisbee Rules

• Seven players will be on the field at a time.  Open intramural Ultimate Frisbee rules are in play based on gender (1 or 7 girls can be on the field at a certain time). 

• If a team does not appear within 10 minutes of the scheduled game time, they will forfeit. 

• No player can register for more than one team.

• If a pass is completed outside the boundary line, it is incomplete and the defensive team gains possession of the frisbee.

• A coin toss will determine which team receives the frisbee.

• The player throwing the frisbee inbound must have one foot on the line.

• Play begins with a throw-off.  As all players are behind their respective goal lines, one player throws the frisbee in the air.  Once it is released all players can run from their goal lines.

• The non-throwing team can grab the frisbee in the air.  If caught, it is their possession.  If dropped, then it is the non-throwing team’s possession.  If out of bounds, the non-throwing team can have possession from where it went out-of-bounds or have the other team throw it in again.

• Each time a goal is scored the teams switch directions of attack, and the team which scored throws off.

• If steps are taken, return to where the pass was completed and resume play.

• Player with frisbee can pivot only with one foot and can only posses the Frisbee for a maximum of 10 seconds. 

• Only one player may guard the player in possession of the frisbee.

• The frisbee may not be pulled or knocked out of the hands of an opposing player.

• The frisbee may not be thrown and caught by the same person.

• The defensive team gains possession whenever the offensive team’s pass is incomplete, intercepted, knocked down, or goes out-of-bounds.

• Any rule disagreements will be settle by the IM staff workers.
