The field - a rectangular shape with end zones at each end
Starting play - each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of opposite end zone lines, the defense throws ("pulls") the disc to the offense
Scoring - each time the offense catches a pass in the defense's end zone, the offense scores a point
Movement of the disc - the disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate, players may not run with the disc, the thrower has 10 seconds to throw the disc
Change of possession - when a pass is not completed, the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense
Substitutions - players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score and during an injury timeout
Non-contact - players must attempt to avoid physical contact during play, picks and screens are prohibited
Fouls - when a player initiates contact that affects the play, a foul occurs, if the player disagrees the play is redone
Self-officiating - players are responsible for their own foul and line calls, players resolve their own disputes
Spirit of the Game - the foundation of the rules, places the responsibility for fair play on the player, competitive play is encouraged but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play
