 Rules Specific to Hamilton Ultimate Club
  • HUC abides by the 11th edition rules. Check out the UPA website as well.
  • All HUC players are expected to know the rules.
  • Schedules are available at this link.
  • Standings are available here.
Start Time

Summer starts at 6:30pm with a 15 minute grace period. If the team you are playing does not have a full team by 6:45pm, stand on the line and begin counting a point against them for every 5 minutes they are late (i.e. score will be 1-0 at 6:50 pm). If a team cannot field 6 players (including 3 of each gender) by 7:00pm they will default the game, receive zero points and zero spirit points.

Foot Blocks - Foot blocks will be left up to the captains.

Zone Defense - Zone defense is allowed in all divisions.

Gender Ratio

The receiving team is responsible for setting the gender ratio. The ratio is 4:3, Male or Female.Captains have the right to discuss, before the game, whether or not they are expected to match gender.

Aggressive Behaviour

Aggressive play is strictly prohibited. Other team sports (soccer, rugby, football) encourage players to "go hard" for the ball and tolerate the resulting contact as an acceptable part of the game. This is not acceptable in the Hamilton Ultimate Club. Players who routinely play aggressively will be suspended from the league. Captains who allow individuals to play aggressively risk team suspension. All contact is a foul and should be called by one of the players.

No Fighting. Zero Tolerance.

A shoving match is interpreted as a fight. Automatic season suspension for offending player(s). It is both captain's responsibility to report incidents to the league convener or director.

Rainouts

To allow for changing conditions, rainouts may not be called until just a few hours before game time. Check the website for last minute changes if you suspect a field will be rained out. Games that are cancelled for weather are not made up unless the League Convener requests it, in which case they will assign the field. All such games must be completed at least two weeks before playoffs. If a game was partially completed and captains find a mutually agreable date to make up the game the score will begin where it previously left off. The result can be entered under the originally scheduled date in Captains Corner.

Reporting Scores

Scores must be reported through the website by BOTH captains within 48 hours of the end of the game.You can access the Captains Corner by clicking this link

Insurance Coverage

HUC is covered by the ODSA. All players sign up online or fill out this waiver.
