Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 40 yards by 120 yards

While any playing surface without dangerous holes or obstacles is fine, the best surface is grass. There's quite a bit of running in Ultimate, though, so any field that's used often will take a lot of abuse.

2. You'll need to draw goal lines to separate the endzones from the playing field proper. How deep should each endzone be?

Answer: 25 yards

The goal lines themselves are often not really drawn, but defined by a pair of cones or other landmarks. The lines count as part of the playing field proper: if you catch a pass on the line of the opponent's endzone, you'll have to pass again before you can score.

3. You'll also want a few Frisbees, of course. What's the maximum weight of a Frisbee legal for game play?

Answer: 200 grams

Any weight under 200 grams is fine, as long as the disk is agreeable to both team captains. Most disks weigh about 175 grams. Get several, because disks take a lot of abuse, and a bent or otherwise damaged disk is no longer good for play.

4. Which of the following situations is NOT a legal opportunity to make a substitution?

Answer: during a time-out

Before the start of a period of play, between points, and at an injury, each team has an equal opportunity to make unlimited substitutions -- provided that, at any time once play begins, each team has exactly seven players on the field.

5. Which of these calls is never a valid reason to stop play?

Answer: 'Substitution!'

Each team has a limited number of time-outs per period of play. A 'pick' is when someone (no matter which team) interferes with the defense. For example, if I were marking (defending against) a player who ran around another player in such a way that I had to stop to avoid a collision, my opponent would have committed a pick. 'Equipment!' is most often yelled when someone's shoelaces become untied. No one wants anyone to break a leg.
