THE SPORT
THE GAME
Ultimate is a seven-a-side team sport played with a flying disc. It is played on a rectangular field, about half the width of a football field, with an end zone at each end. The objective of each team is to score a goal by having a player catch a pass in the end zone that they are attacking. A thrower may not run with the disc, but may pass the disc in any direction to any team-mate. Any time a pass is incomplete, a turnover occurs, and the other team shall take possession and attempt to score in the opposite end zone. Games are typically played to 15 goals or around 100 minutes.
THE RULES

THE PITCH
- The playing field is a rectangular area with a central zone and two end zones, which is essentially flat, free of obstructions and afford reasonable player safety.
- The perimeter lines surround the playing field and consist of 2 sidelines along the length and 2 endlines along the width – these are not part of the playing field.
- The goal lines are the lines that separate the central zone from the end zones and are part of the central zone.
- The “brick marks” are the intersection of 2 crossed 1 metre lines in the central zone, located a distance equal to the length of the end zone away from each goal line, midway between the sidelines.
