Spirit of the Game (SOTG) is CRITICAL in the sport of ultimate. OFSAA continues to emphasize the principles of fair play, respect and knowledge of rules as ultimate grows in popularity across the province. Ultimate is SELF-OFFICIATED and relies on the athletes to facilitate a fair match, therefore it is critical that coaches and players know the rules of the sport so that we can act with principal, and model SOTG, all while calling the game appropriately. Knowledge of the rules is the #1 indicator of Spirit of the Game.

This quiz is "open book" and consists of 30 questions. You can have the webpage linked below open as you complete your quiz.

How is the gender ratio per point determined? *

The new player does not call foul. The experienced player should: please select all the correct answers *

1 point

Say nothing, even though it’s a foul it’s the new player’s fault for not knowing the rules.

Tell the new player that was a foul and the new player can call that if they agree.

Say nothing, as it was incidental contact and not a foul.

A player is on defence and while playing, a person on the field, (they can be on either team) blocks their way, preventing them from getting to the player they are marking, who then catches the disc. They are allowed to call "pick", which will stop play, the disc will go back to the thrower, and the defensive player is allowed to catch up to their player. *

1 point

True

False

A marker is counting stalls on a thrower who is pivoting. The marker counts “Stalling 1… 2… 3...” at which point the thrower drags their pivot foot significantly on a hard fake and the marker calls “travel”. The thrower has not released the disc. How should play be resolved?
*

1 point

Play stops. The thrower returns their pivot to the correct point, the marker taps the disc into play and restarts the count at “stalling 4”.

Play stops. The thrower returns their pivot to the correct point, the marker taps the disc into play and restarts the count at “stalling 2”.

Play does not stop. The marker points to the correct pivot spot and pauses the count while the thrower repositions. The thrower returns their pivot to the correct spot and taps the disc to the ground. The marker then continues the count at “4” without needing to say “stalling”.

A pick is called while the thrower has possession. The thrower did not hear the pick call and subsequently throws and completes a pass to a receiver well removed from the pick (the pick did not affect the outcome of the pass). The second player did not hear the pick call and throws and completes a pass to another receiver, standing in the end zone of attack. What is the correct outcome?
*

1 point

The score stands as play was unaffected by the pick.

The play was dead after the completion of the first pass. The disc goes back to the first thrower and play is restarted with a check.

The play was dead after the completion of the first pass. The disc remains with the first receiver that caught that pass, and play is restarted with a check.

The score stands, but only if the second receiver was uninvolved in the original pick call.

A player on Team A calls “timeout” and makes a T with the disc and one hand, just after the marker has reached a stall count of 2. Someone on Team B reminds the receiver that Team A has already called two timeouts this half and has none remaining. What should happen next?

*

1 point

It is a turnover and it is now Team B's disc

Play stops, Team A keeps the frisbee but Team B now starts the stall count at +3 of the last number uttered (i.e. Stalling 5)

Team A keeps possession and keeps playing at the stall count that was last uttered (i.e. Stalling 3)

Team B must take the disc and starts playing without hesitation.

Spirit of the Game is a set of principles which places the responsibility for fair play on the player.

All players must resume their locations on the field at the time the injury timeout began (i.e., players may not set up), unless a team timeout is also called.

The other team (the team that did not call an injury sub) may also sub out one player.
