Teams will compete in 4v4 matches.
Each match is 5 minutes long. The championship matches are 10 minutes long. The team with the most goals, or reaches 10 goals, is declared the winner.
A team scores a goal when they have completed a pass when the receiving athlete is in the endzone.
The team that scored keeps possession of the disc and throws it at the next Start Phase in a match.
START PHASE
Both teams line up along the goal line of their endzones. One team (the defense) is randomly chosen to start the game and has possession of the frisbee. Teams cannot move until the frisbee is thrown.
Once the frisbee is thrown, the opposing team (the offense) will take possession to start the match. The defense team cannot catch or pick up the frisbee until the offense team initially picks up or catches it.
PLAY PHASE
Teams currently possessing the frisbee must throw it within 15 seconds of picking it up, or it will drop to the ground, and possession is given to the other team.
Athletes possessing the frisbee will be frozen in place.
Once passing the disc, it is either completed, intercepted, or incomplete.
- When a pass is completed - e.g. a teammate of the athlete that threw the pass catches it - the 15-second clock resets to pass the frisbee or lose possession.
- When a pass is intercepted - e.g. an athlete on the opposing team catches a pass - the opposing team is given possession. If the original team’s pass is intercepted in their own endzone, the catching athlete and frisbee move to the goal line.
- When a pass is incomplete, the opposing team is given possession and must play from where the frisbee lies. Any athlete of the opposing team may take the frisbee.
Athletes continue to pass the frisbee in an attempt to score until the match ends.
In the event of a tie, a sudden death rematch will commence. First team to score once wins.
