Basics of Ultimate Frisbee

As always, try to bring a light and dark shirt for dividing teams and
remember to bring water to say hydrated.

See you at 5:00!  :-D

PS.  Don't worry if you don't know/remember the rules, you can learn
as you play.  But, here are the basics:

  Initiate Play: Each point begins with both teams lining up on the
front of their respective end zone line. The defense throws ("pulls")
the disc to the offense. A regulation game has seven players per team.
  Scoring: Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense's
end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each
score.
  Movement of the Disc: The disc may be advanced in any direction by
completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the disc.
The person with the disc ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw the
disc. The defender guarding the thrower ("marker") counts out the
stall count.
  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.
  Non-contact: No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks
and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
  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.
