17. All Games Will Be Played at Carter Field

18. General
Rules
 Games are a best of five series to
exactly 21 points
 Goals will be set up 50 feet apart
 A coin toss will determine which team
goes first
 The winner has the choice to throw first
or second

19. Rounds
 A round will consist of all four players
throwing exactly one disc
 The first team will throw the disc twice,
allowing both players to act as the “thrower”
and the “deflector” once
 Then, they will hand the disc to the opponent
to do the same
 Each team will have the same number of
throws, so if the team that goes first gets to 21
points, the opposing team has one last round
 Exception: In the event that a team makes an
instance win shot, the opposing team will not be
given a last shot

20. Scoring
 A team must reach exactly 21 points
 If a throw would raise the team's score above
21, those points are subtracted from that team's
score (rather than added)
 A dinger (1 point) is scored when the deflector
deflects the disc that hits the goal without
going in
 A deuce (2 points) is scored when the thrower
hits the side of the goal without assistance
from the deflector.
 A bucket (3 points) is scored when the
deflector redirects the thrown disc into the goal

21. Scoring
 An instant win is when the thrower lands the
disc in the goal without assistance from the
deflector
 The opposing team does not get to match the
toss
 If the thrower or deflector is interfered with
by the opposing team, the throwing team will
be given the choice to take 1, 2, or 3 points

22. Deflectors
 Deflectors may:
 Move anywhere in the playing area to
make a deflection
 Slap, hit, strike, kick, or knee the disc to
redirect it
 Deflectors may not:
 Touch the goal at any time
 Catch, throw, lift, palm, pull, push, or
double hit the disc
 Stop the disc in mid air to cause it to fall
straight down
 Trap the disc between his or her body and
any part of the goal

23. Special Scoring Cases
 If a deflector tips the disc into the goal and it bounces back out through the top, it is counted as 1
point
 If a deflector tips the disc into the goal and it comes back out the slot cleanly, no points are
awarded
 If the disc is tipped into the goal and it comes back out the slot after hitting the goal, it is
counted as 1 point
 A deflector may not "save" an instant win that he or she thinks may pop out the top
 In the case the deflector touches a disc inside the goal which has entered from the instant win
slot, it is counted as 2 points. If a disc enters the instant win slot cleanly, and then it touches the
deflector, it will be counted as 3 points
 If the disc enters through the instant win slot and comes out of
• the top without the deflector touching it, 2 points are awarded

24. Special Scoring Cases
 If the disc enters through the instant win slot, hits the back of the goal, and comes back out
through the slot, 2 points are awarded
 If the disc enters through the slot, comes out of the top of the goal, and then the deflector tips
the disc toward the goal, it will be 2 points, provided the disc touched the goal before it was
tipped
 If the disc enters the slot and comes out of the top of the goal cleanly, the deflector may tip it for
a dinger (1 point) or a bucket (3 points)
 If the disc is deflected into the slot opening and comes back out through the slot opening or the
top, 1 point is awarded provided the disc hit the goal
 Once a disc hits the goal on the fly for 2 points, no more points can be awarded, unless somehow
the disc flips into the instant win slot

25. Special Scoring Cases
 Should the deflected disc come to rest for more than five seconds on the top edge of the goal, 1
point is awarded
 Should the untouched thrown disc come to rest for more than five seconds on the edge of the
goal, 2 points are awarded
 Should the deflected disc become stuck in the back part of the goal, 1 point is scored
 Should the untouched thrown disc become stuck in the back part of the goal, 2 points are scored

26. Rulings for a
Goal Falling
Over
 If during a throw, the wind knocks the entire
goal over, a re-throw will be awarded.
Otherwise, there are no re-throws due to
weather
 If during an instant win, the goal falls over,

disc remains inside the fallen goal, or the disc
exits through the bottom of the fallen goal
 Should the disc exit through the top, 2 points
are scored
 If during bucket, the goal falls over, the
bucket will count if at least half of the disc
