All waivers must be received BEFORE the start of Game 1. If a player is found playing without having turned in their waiver, their team may be asked to forfeit their game.

Game Details

Spirit & Conduct One unique aspect of Ultimate Frisbee is called the 'Spirit of the Game'. Ultimate Frisbee 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 the game. The Spirit of the Game is especially important to Baraboo Ultimate, as we have a wide variety of ages, skills, and competitiveness. Examples of Spirit of the Game etiquette may include: • Stopping play to help a brand new player understand the rules when appropriate • Not trying to gain an unfair advantage through other means than typical play (i.e. intentional fouls, excessive mismatching of players, shouting as a means to distract a player before a catch, taking more time than reasonable to put the disc into play, etc.) • Letting the other player or team know when you have committed an infraction (foul). • If a dispute arises on the field, play stops and is restarted with a check when the matter is resolved. • When a call is made, throwers must stop play by visibly or audibly communicating the stoppage as soon as they are aware of the call and all players should echo calls on the field. Thanks for helping us continue to promote the Spirit of the Game!

We will NOT tolerate:

Length of game

Halftime Halftime begins when one team gets to 7. Halftime generally lasts about 5-10 minutes.

Overtime Overtime begins when the score reaches 12-12 (a team needs to win by 2, so now the game would be to 14. If it ties again at 13-13, then the game would be to 15).

Timeouts Each team gets 1 timeout per half, plus one floater.

Time cap If for some reason we need to put a time cap on a game:

Players on the Field Ultimate Frisbee is normally played with 7 players on the field per team, but we can also play 5s or 6s. Captains can decide how many players to play before the game begins.

Coed This is a coed summer league. There are no requirements regarding how many women or men are on the field.

Subs All subs need to register online as a sub prior to play (note it in the comments). Players under 18 need to register by a parent.

Miscellaneous

Weather: Games are played rain or shine. However, if there is heavy rain the day of a game or severe weather, games may need to be cancelled. We will do our best to post cancellations by 5pm on game day. We will send an email and also post on Facebook (posts can be viewed on our website as well).

If lightning/thunder is observed during a game, we rely on the following Lightning Policy.

Lightning Policy : When a flash-to-bang count of 30 seconds is reached, lightning is six miles away. The fields MUST BE CLEARED by all players, regardless of points or time left in a game.

  1. Do not attempt to finish a point in progress.
  2. Players should seek shelter immediately.
  3. Once lightning has moved from the area, play can be resumed after 30 minutes. Fields Under certain conditions, such as the fields being too muddy or wet, we may need to cancel games.

Who's running this? Baraboo Ultimate was started in 2010 by Michael and Aimee Lutz. The Lutzes have played many years of ultimate in college, club, and summer league, including Nationals and Worlds tournaments.

Recently, Chris Flores has been taking organizing the return of the league. Volunteers are always needed and appreciated. All registration fees collected go towards expenses or put back into the league.

As always, we are very excited to be playing another year of Ultimate in Baraboo! :) We hope you will join us!

COVID Info: We will be following the school's regulations on outdoor sporting events. Masks are not required during play or on the sidelines. However, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask at anytime on or off the field, please do so.

How to play Ultimate 101

Ultimate in 10 Simple Rules (see www.upa.org for more info)

  1. The Field: A rectangular shape with end zones at each end. A regulation field is 70 yards by 40 yards, with end zones 25 yards deep.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Change of Possession: When a pass in not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.
  6. Substitutions: Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout.
  7. Non-contact: No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
  8. Fouls: When a player initiates contact on another player a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.
  9. Self-Officiating: Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.
  10. 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.
