• USA Ultimate Official Rules of Ultimate, 11th Edition will be in effect. • In addition, per the 2018 USA Ultimate College Season Guidelines: o End zones will be 20 yards in depth. o Contact Call – If contact occurs between the thrower and the marker that would constitute a foul under XVI.H.3.a but the thrower does not release the disc, “contact” may be called. Play does not stop, and the marker resumes the stall count at “one.” Other than resetting the stall count to “one” after the first instance, the contact call is treated as any other marking violation. The marker may contest the “contact” call by calling “violation,” which stops play. If the thrower calls “contact” after beginning the throwing motion and subsequently release the disc, it is treated as if the thrower called “foul.” • All games to 15, point cap at 17. • Halftime is 10 minutes. • Each team has two timeouts per half. • Regardless of how many timeouts a team has used before overtime, during overtime each team has one timeout. • Overtime: A game is in overtime if tied at one point less than original game total (e.g., in a game to 15 goals, overtime occurs when the score reaches 14-14). • Hard time cap goes on at end of round time on schedule. Game is over at the end of the point in progress, unless tied. If tied, play one more point. • Soft time cap goes on 20 minutes before the hard cap. Add two points to higher score after first score after soft time cap. Game ends when first team reaches new game total, or when first team reaches 15 or more ahead by at least two points, whichever comes first. • Caps do not affect timeouts. • Hard caps will not be used for the semifinal and final games.

WESTERN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON WESTERN UNIVERSITY CHAOS WOMEN’S TEAMS WOMEN’S HEALTH AND SAFETY Medical staff, including athletic trainers, will be on site at Tournament Central to treat injuries, handle emergencies and provide some preventative care. The event will provide standard athletic tape, pre-wrap, ice and some bandages. Other supplies, including special tape or bandages and anti- inflammatory drugs, must be provided by teams or may be charged by the training staff. If there is an injury on a field that needs medical attention, inform a field marshal, and he or she will radio to the trainers. If you have medical issues that require attention in the morning before play, please show up early to avoid long lines. The trainers will be at the fields two hours prior to game time each day. CONCUSSIONS EDUCATION • USA Ultimate recommends the CDC “Heads Up Safety” program, a free one-hour online training: cdc. gov/concussion/headsup/youth.html. • USA Ultimate’s participant waiver includes important information from the CDC regarding concussion safety: usaultimate.org/membership/usa_ultimate_membership_forms.aspx COACHING REQUIREMENTS • Coaches at USA Ultimate events are required to have completed a concussion awareness and safety recognition program (like the CDC program above or other local or state-recommended course).Coaches should not submit records of course completion to USA Ultimate, but should maintain records on-site while coaching. REMOVAL & RETURN TO PLAY • All guidelines identified by the CDC must be strictly followed in the event of a suspected concussion. 1. Remove the athlete from play. 2. Ensure the athlete is evaluated by a health care professional trained in concussion diagnosis and management. Do not try to judge the seriousness of the injury yourself. 3. If the athlete is a minor, inform the athlete’s parents or guardians about the known or possible concussion and give them the fact sheet on concussions. 4. Allow the athlete to return to play only with permission from an appropriate health care professional. DOCTOR’S NOTE REQUIREMENT • If, during a USA Ultimate event, an athlete receives care at a hospital, medical clinic or doctor’s office, or is referred to a hospital or doctor by event medical staff, the athlete is barred from further competition in that event until he or she provides a doctor’s note, on letterhead or prescription pad, to event medical staff stating that the athlete is authorized to return to competition. ATHLETE PROTECTION • USA Ultimate takes the protection of event participants seriously. In accordance with SafeSport and the USA Ultimate Conduct Policy, all USA Ultimate employees, volunteers, athletes, members, coaches and chaperones are prohibited from engaging in the following conduct with athletes at any time (a more thorough description is available at www.usaultimate.org/protection): o Bullying o Hazing o Harassment, including Sexual Harassment o Emotional Misconduct o Physical Misconduct o Sexual Misconduct, including Child Sexual Abuse • With the passage of the recent federal legislation to protect amateur and minor athletes, all SafeSport trained individuals (including coaches, team support, USA Ultimate staff) are now mandatory reporters. • If you have questions or would like to file a complaint with USA Ultimate, please contact Dan Raabe at [email protected].

Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules of the game, or the basic joy of play. — 11th Edition USA Ultimate Rules of Ultimate.

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SPIRIT OF THE GAME™

1. THE GOLDEN RULE: TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD WANT TO BE TREATED. Spirited games result from mutual respect among opponents. Assume the best of your opponent. Give him or her the benefit of a doubt. You would want the same for yourself. But if you are thick-skinned, do not assume that your opponent is. Maybe you should think of this rule as, “treat others as you would have them treat your mother.”

2. CONTROL: SOTG TAKES REAL EFFORT. SOTG is not just some abstract principle that everyone adopts and then games run smoothly without effort. Close calls are made in tight games. Hard fouls are committed. SOTG is about how you handle yourself under pressure: how you contain your emotionality, tame your temper, and modulate your voice. If you initiate or contribute to the unraveling of spirit, the concept falls apart quickly. If you act to mend things (or at least not exacerbate the situation) by following (1) above, the game heals itself.

3. HECKLING AND TAUNTING ARE DIFFERENT. Ultimate has a long tradition of good-natured heckling. Heckles are friendly barbs, typically from non-playing spectators. Heckling can be fun, but taunting is unspirited and wrong. Harassing remarks after an opponent’s foul call or close play are NOT heckling: they are abusive taunts which create unpleasant playing conditions and often escalate to acrimonious disputes.

4. SOTG IS COMPATIBLE WITH CHAMPIONSHIP PLAY. It is a fallacy to argue that the stakes are so important that some aspect of SOTG can be cast aside. Time and again, great teams and star players have shown that you can bring all your competitive and athletic zeal to a game without sacrificing fair play or respect for your opponent.

5. DON’T “GIVE AS YOU GOT.” There is no “eye for an eye.” If you are wronged, you have no right to wrong someone in return. In the extreme case where you were severely mistreated, you may bring the issue up with a captain, tournament director, or even lodge a complaint with the governing body. If you retaliate in kind, however, a complaint may be filed against you. We recall point (1): treat others as you would have them treat you, not as they have treated you. In the end, you are responsible for you.

SPIRIT OF THE GAME THE OF SPIRIT SPIRIT CIRCLES Spirit circles are an idea borrowed from international competitions throughout the ultimate world. For years, American teams have traveled to world championship events where they have not only done exceptionally well in each competition, but showed the international community the importance we place on respect for the game and their opponents. But American players have also learned a lot from competing against teams from other countries, and invariably one of the most positive parts of the international experience has been the tradition of the post-game spirit circles. While there are a number of ways to do this, here are some quick tips to get your team started:

- Following each game, rather than lining up to slap hands, the two teams gather into a circle, alternating players on each team, facing inward, with arms around the shoulders of the person next to you. - One or two people (often team captains or spirit captains) on each team will talk briefly about the game. Usually the losing team goes first, then the winning team. - Things to talk about can include how the game went, how your own team played, what the other team did well, who on the other team played well and anything else that might be worth communicating, even if it’s something you think could be done better (and don’t forget to look in the mirror on this). - After each team has had a chance to talk, the winning team takes a step into the circle and walks around counter-clockwise to slap hands with the players on the other team.

That’s it! It’s pretty simple and definitely something that brings teams together and puts the game and the experience in perspective. It’s all about respect for each other and the experience of bringing out the best in each other through competition. It’s also about building relationships and seeing opponents for what they really are: part of the same community that loves ultimate. Please note that this is not required and is not meant to replace other post-game traditions you may have (e.g., cheers, games, photos, gifts or trading gear). Good luck, and please let USA Ultimate staff and other event organizers how it goes!
