their scores and spirit scores for league online through the T.E.A.M.
System by 5:00 p.m. the day following their game.
Please click here for detailed information on how to report scores.
Game Time/Default: Please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure that your
games start on time. Games are 55 minutes in length, with no stoppage for
a halftime. There is no score cap; ie, games are to be played for the
entire 55 minutes and the score a the end of the game will be what is
recorded in the standings. Please use the clock at Waterside Desk as the official time
clock. A default will occur if any team cannot field a squad 10 minutes
after the official start time. A team can play with a minimum of 4
people, as long as there are two (2) of each gender. Captains may agree
to waive the rules regarding minimum players but this should be decided
before the game starts. IF IT IS AGREED THAT THE GAME COUNTS, IT COUNTS!

What happens when...?
1. A pick is called?
i) Play stops and the player who called the pick may catch up with their
mark. Defense taps the disc, and play resumes at the stall count
when pick was called.
ii) If the disc was thrown after the pick was called, and if the offense
catches the disc, then see the disc goes back to the thrower and then see
1.i.
iii) If the disc was thrown after the pick was called, and the offense
does not catch the disc, then it is a turnover (defense gains
possession).
2. A foul is called by the offensive player trying to catch the disc?
i) If the pass is completed, then play goes on with no stoppage in play
(continuation).
ii) If incomplete, and the defensive player contests the foul, then the
disc goes back to the thrower. If the stall count was at 5 or
higher, it goes back to 5, if it was below 5, then the stall count
resumes where it was when the disc was thrown.
iii) If incomplete and the defensive player does not contest the foul,
the fouled player gets the disc at the spot of the infraction.
iv) If an uncontested foul occurs in the endzone (incomplete pass),
offense gets the disc on the endzone line (it is not an automatic point).
3. A foul is called by the offensive player throwing the disc?
i) If the pass is completed, then play goes on with no stoppage in play
(continuation).
ii) If the pass is incomplete, the disc goes back to the thrower.
If the foul is uncontested, stall count resets to zero. If
contested, see 2.ii.
4. A foul is called by a defensive player (on the offensive player)?
i) If the pass is incomplete, then it is a turnover (defense gains
possession) (continuation).
ii) If the pass is complete, then the disc goes back to the thrower.
If the stall count was at 5 or higher, it goes back to 5, if it was below
5, then the stall count resumes where is was when the disc was thrown.
5. A disc is caught near the side-line/endzone?
i) the important aspect in all of this is the first point of contact. If
a person lands with their first foot in bounds, and then their second
foot lands out of bounds, the player is in (first point of contact
matters).
ii) If both feet touch the ground at the same time and the player is in
bounds with one foot, and out of bounds with the other, then they are
considered out of bounds. The line is considered out of bounds.
iii) If a person is straddling the line, and they catch the disc with one
foot touching in bounds and one foot touching out of bounds, then they
are considered out of bounds. If a player is straddling the goal-line,
then it is not a point....keep going.
iv) If it is a close call, the person with the best perspective makes the
call. The first option is the catcher. If they cannot make
the call (i.e. they were laying out) they should defer to the person with
the best perspective (this may not be the closest player, but the person
with the best angle/viewpoint).
6. I try to make a throw from my knees/bottom?
i) If a player fakes to make a pass while on their knees, they have set
their position and may not try to get to their feet. If they do so,
it is a traveling foul and play is reset (from the original position - on
knees). Stall count continues from when travel is called\
7. If a pull hits any part of the ceiling above the playing field
proper, the disc shall be put into play directly underneath the spot
where the disc touched the ceiling.
8.
If a pull touches the bubble at the side of the field, the disc shall be
put into play on the line at the spot where the disc exited the playing
field. (Updated: 01/31/05)
9.
If a disc touches the sides of the bubble and/or mesh is it considered
"out of bounds." It is a turnover and the disc shall be put into play on
the line closest to where the disc touched the bubble and/or mesh.
