rules to play ultimate frisbee

Never throw when players or park users are within range. Always give park users the right of way. Be aware of your surroundings and environment.

Each hole begins with a tee throw. Tee throws must be completed within or behind the designated tee area.

The lie is the spot where the players previous throw has landed. Mark lie with a mini disc or turn over the thrown disc, directly towards the hole or designated fairway. The players subsequent throw is made from directly behind the marked lie.

The player with the least amount of strokes on the previous hole is the first to tee off on the next hole. After teeing off, the player whose disc is farthest from the hole always throws first.

Fairway throws must be made from directly behind the lie. A run up and normal follow through, after release, is allowed, unless the lie is within 10 meters of the target. Any shot within 10 meters of the target requires that the player not move past the lie until the disc is at rest.

A dogleg is one or more designated trees or poles in the fairway that must be passed as indicated by arrows. Until the dogleg is passed the closest foot to the dogleg must be on the lie when the disc is released.

A disc that comes to rest in the Disc Pole Hole basket or chains constitutes successful completion of that hole.

Any disc that comes to rest above the ground is considered an unplayable lie. The disc must be thrown from the lie on the ground, directly underneath the unplayable lie, relocated to avoid damage to the vegetation.

If any area of O.B. is visible between the disc and O.B. line, then the disc is considered O.B. A throw that lands out of bounds, must be played from a point 3 feet in bounds from where the disc went out of bounds. Permanent water hazards and public roads are always out of bounds.

Recreational players will not be penalized for rule infractions. Other players will keep you honest.
