Past Leagues:
Team sizes (fielded)?
June 4, 2009 - 2:39pm — Scombridae
I was just wondering what the official team size (players on the field) is for league play ultimate? I've just played pickup all my life so it was always just how many people showed up divided by two, for better or for worse.

"Spirit of the Game: Ultimate relies upon a spirit of sportsmanship that places the responsibility for fair play on the player. Highly competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of mutual respect among competitors, adherence to the agreed upon rules, or the basic joy of play. Protection of these vital elements serves to eliminate unsportsmanlike conduct from the Ultimate field. Such actions as taunting opposing players, dangerous aggression, belligerent intimidation, intentional infractions, or other 'win-at-all-costs' behavior are contrary to the Spirit of the Game and must be avoided by all players."
It depends
"official" Ultimate is 7 vs 7. Some tournaments alter that to play with fewer, I've never heard of more than 7 per team. Gender is either open (any mix of men and women), coed (4 men and 3 women or 5 men and 2 women), or women only.
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick reply! Now I can stop procrastinating and get back to work.
