Columbia Ultimate Pickup - Rules

Columbia Ultimate Pickup Guidelines

WHO CAN PLAY?

* Anyone and everyone is welcome to play. From complete beginners to
experienced experts, all are welcome. Experience is generally
skilled, but not professional.

* If you do not know the rules or skills, we are happy to teach you.
A number of learning resources are available here.

* Games are CO-ED and welcome to either sex.

* You must be at least 16 years of age to play.

* You are 100% responsible for any injury that happens to you for any
reason.

FIELDS, CLOTHING, AND ATTENDANCE

* Try to be on time. The more people we have early, the sooner
everyone gets to play and the longer the game can go.

* Bring a WHITE and a DARK (BLACK) Shirt. GRAY IS NOT ALLOWED.

* Cleats are suggested but not required.

* We play until it is dark.

* We play in light rain.

* At the first sign of Lightning, the game is over, no exceptions.

* Look around the field space for us carefully. The fields at time
can get crowded and we often have to shift where we are playing.

ULTIMATE RULES

* Standard UPA 11th Edition Ultimate rules, except where noted below.

* Spirit of the Game above all things. We celebrate good sportsmanship
and good play.

* Dropping the Pull is not a turn over, pickup the disc and play
resume once checked by the opposing team.

* Fouls are called keeping in mind that this is a friendly game and
some incidental contact is unavoidable.

* Picks are not allowed, but rarely called. Please demonstrate good
spirit by actively trying to not create a pick situation for your
defender.

* We do not match by gender and you are free to cover anyone you want
regardless of sex.

* Foot blocks are legal.

* Player wishing to jump into play may do so by calling “Last Back”
after a score is made and running to the starting end zone. The first
seven (7) players to reach the end zone get to stay on the field and
play the next point. You may only “Last Back” the non-scoring team.
