Server must remain in the service zone until the served ball passes the short line. Violations are called ‘foot-faults’. A serve is commenced by bouncing the ball to the floor in the service zone, and on the first bounce the ball is struck by the server’s racquet so that it hits the front wall and on the rebound hits the floor back of the short line, either with or without touching one of the side walls.

General Game Play

• When serving, the ball must be held in the palm of the hand, visible to the opponent and with no spin being imparted to it by the hand.

Officiating

Games will be self-officiated. All fouls will be self-called. No contact is allowed. Any disputes can be taken to the on-site supervisor who may flip a coin for the final decision.

General Game Play

• No legs first sliding will be permitted.
  • A slide is defined as a person leaving their upright running/walking form to extend their body horizontally by lowering or lunging their lower body or a lower extremity forward.
  • This will result in an automatic turnover if the offending person’s team is in possession of the disc.
    • If the offending person’s team is not in possession of the disc, the non-offending team will get a 5-second unguarded toss from the spot of the disc.
• Game Start
  • Rock-paper-scissors, or another deciding method, will determine who will receive in the first half.
  • The opposing team will receive in the second half.
  • Play will begin with each team lining up on their end zone line.
  • The defense will throw the disc to the offense.
  • Players may not leave their line until the disc is thrown.
  • If the receiving team allows the disc to fall untouched to the ground, and the disc initially lands inbounds, the receiving team gains possession of the disc where it stops if in-bounds or at the point on the playing field, excluding the end zone, nearest to where it crossed the out-of-bounds line.
  • If the pull lands out-of-bounds the receiving team puts the disc into play at the point on the playing field, excluding the end zone, nearest to where it crossed the out-of-bounds line.
  • If a player on the receiving team touches the pull before it hits the ground and the disc then hits the ground, it is considered a dropped disc and results in a turnover.
• The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate.
  • If a pass is not completed (out of bounds, dropped, blocked, intercepted), the opposing team will receive possession from the spot the disc makes first contact with the ground or crosses out of bounds.
• The player in possession of the disc will have ten seconds to throw it.
• A defensive player within 5 feet of the player must count out loud so players in close proximity are able to hear the count.
  • Only one defensive player may guard a thrower.
• A player must have their first point of contact in-bounds to be a catch.
  • If their momentum carries them out of bounds after making a catch in-bounds, it is a ‘good’ catch and play will continue where they went out-of-bounds.
• Disc possession movement
  • Players can’t take steps while in possession of the disc, except to pivot on one foot.
  • The thrower must also establish a pivot foot before releasing the throw and can’t change it until then
  • The pivot foot leaving it’s position in any direction is considered traveling, and is a turnover if the steps aren’t necessary to stop themselves.
  • Handoffs and catching your own throw are NOT allowed.
• There must be one disc’s diameter between the thrower and the defense.
  • If a defender has set themselves in a legal position on the player with the disc, the player with the disc may not pivot into the defender to gain space.
• If the disc is caught simultaneously by the offense and defense, the offense keeps possession.
