You can't move with the disc - although you can choose which foot to pivot on after stopping - so must pass the disc from team mate to team mate to move up the pitch. Meanwhile, the opposition does their best to hinder this by blocking, marking, and counting the 10 seconds you may hold onto the disc for. All very simple. Click here to view the 10 simple rules from the UPA (Ultimate Players Association) Spirit of the GameUltimate is unique in the fact that, at no level are referees used. The game is officiated by the players on the pitch, using an idea called Spirit of the Game. This SOTG, is a combination of playing with desire, but playing fairly and honestly, which works because every one else does the same (well 99.9% of the time). If there are contested decisions, the players involved discuss the call, and they reach a resolution. It may mean calling your own team mate out, or trusting an opponent on an event you didn't see. It really helps to promote a great sport, and makes Ultimate the sport we know and love! If you want to read more about spirit check this out. |
