Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The defensive team pulls the disc to the receiving team, but the defensive team is offside two times in a row. Where does the offensive team put the disc in play?

Answer: At midfield

If the offensive team had been offside, they would have started the disc half-way back in their defending end zone.

Answer: Play retroactively begins when the injury occurred

If the offensive player was not the cause of the injury, play stops when "injury" is called. In this instance, a point would have been scored.

3. A player catches the disc, and then throws it without coming to a complete stop. In which of these situations is this not a violation?

Answer: The player had originally caught the disc in his offensive end zone

A player can throw the disc without coming to a complete stop, provided it is within three steps and the player neither changes direction nor increases speed.

4. The disc is turned over just out of bounds and a defensive player waits at the disc for an offensive player. How many seconds must the defensive player wait until starting the stall count?

Answer: 20 seconds

The defense may count down out loud 20 seconds if the disc is in an end zone or out-of-bounds, 10 seconds if the disc is in the playing field proper (the 70 yards x 40 yards not just mentioned). However, if the offense is at the disc, the defense may announce "delay of game" and the offense has only two seconds until the defense may start the stall count.

5. In which situation may a 200 gram disc be used when a regulation 175 gram disc breaks?

Answer: Both captains agree even though there is a 175 gram disc available

Teams may use any discs acceptable to both captains. Otherwise, teams must use the current official disc of the UPA.

Answer: When the player with the disc forms a T with their hand and the disc

A timeout begins when the player in possession of the disc forms a T with one hand and the disc.

7. A defender intercepts the disc at the back of the end zone they are defending, takes five steps towards the goal line, and notices that a teammate is open. What is one of the player's options?

Answer: Continue walking to the goal line

The player has two options immediately after catching the disc: 1) put the disc in play, or 2) walk the disc up to the goal line. Since the player already started walking to the goal line, he chose option 2.

Answer: The player throwing the disc gets the disc back and the players return to their positions at the time of the throw

Best perspective refers solely to the 14 players on the field during the point. If best perspective cannot be determined, the thrower gets the disc back.

9. An offensive cutter causes a pick, the defensive player calls the pick, and then the offensive player catches the disc. How does play resume?

Answer: The offensive and defensive players return to where the pick was called

Possession reverts to the thrower and player go to where they were at the earlier of the time of the throw and the time of the call.

10. Which of these is not a legitimate foul or violation in the rule book?

Answer: Spirit Foul

While 'Spirit of the Game' is an important part of ultimate, poor spirit does not constitute a foul. However, reckless disregard of other players is treated as a foul.
