time)

of play.

when an injury timeout is called.
Rules and Regulations
Players play barefooted.
Each group is allocated to a particular endzone, located at the
ends of the playing field. At half time the 2 groups exchange
end zones.
Play starts with each group lined up at their respective goal
lines.
Just after the first throw, no player of opponent team may touch
the disc until a member of starting team catches the disc or
disc touches the ground.
Players may not run with the disc.
The person with the disc ("thrower") has ten seconds to throw
the disc or a turnover comes into play.
When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block,
interception), player of the other team immediately takes
possession of the disc.
No deliberate physical contact is allowed between players
(i.e. no pulling of shirts, no tackling, no pushing).
No player may wear items of clothing or equipment that
reasonably could harm the wearer or other players
(e.g. wristwatches, buckles, sharp edges or long studs on
footwear, protruding jewelry).
Fouls
Each foul would usually constitute to a change in possession
of the disc.
Unsportsmanlike behaviour is subject to the loss of possession
or dismissal from the game.

Reasons for a change in possession is as follows:
- Throw-away: The thrower misses his target and the
disc falls to the ground

causing it to hit the ground
- Interceptions: A defender catches a disc thrown by
the offense

object out of bounds or is caught by a player who lands
or leaps from outside the playing field.
