- Each zone is 25 yeards deep and the playing area is 70 yards
Length of game:
- Team reaches target (15 goals)

Star of Play
- Both teams cannot cross the endzone until the disc has been thrown
- Team will raise the disc high when they are ready and PULL
- If other team is ready they will raise their hand
- If team drops the PULL then there will be a turnover
- Disc lands out of bounds then other team has an option to BRICK
After a goal is scored:
- Team scored stays in that end zone
- They throw the PULL and become the defensive team
- Team changes their direction of atack after each point
IN-bounds and Out-bounds
- If you catch the disc after jumping in the air, your first point of contact must land inside the field
- Side lines are not part of playing field. If you catch the disc in bounds and the momentum takes you out-of-bounds you must return to where you left the fields before you can throw the dusc
- Disc goes out of bounds=turnover= play continues from the spot where the disc left the field
Movement:
- Not allowed to run w disc
- Allowed to pivot
10 Second rule
