are encouraged to bring their own.

2. The game is open to all sexes in one open category.

3. Players will play in groups of three or four.

4. Identifying turn: players will place all stones on their palm, and simultaneously throw

all in the air. Players will then have to catch the stones using the back of their hands,

and the player with the highest number will proceed with the game first. In the event

that two players catch the same amount of stones, only those players will repeat the

same process.

5. Round 1: All 5 stones are tossed on the ground. Player has to pick one up and toss it

in the air. While the stone is in the air, they must pick one of the four remaining stones

and catch the one which was thrown up. The player continues to do this until he/she

has grabbed each of the stones one at a time. Players are only given one attempt. If they

fail, during their next turn, they must repeat the entire process.

6. Round 2: similar to round 1, except that two stones must be grabbed per stone

tossed.

7. Round 3: similar to round 1, except that after the second toss, three stones must be

grabbed.

8. Round 4: similar to round 1, except that all four stones must be grabbed.

9. Round 5: similar to round 4, with one additional step. With all stones in one hand,

players must then throw one in the air, followed by placing the remaining four on the

ground. Players must then catch the stone that was tossed.

10. Round 6: with two stones in one hand, one stone will be tossed in the air. With the

stone still in the air, the stone in the hand must be exchanged with one of stones on the

ground. This step is repeated until all stones have at one point been in the players’

hand.

11. Round 7: with two stones in one hand, both will be tossed in the air. Players must

then grab one of the ground, followed by the players catching both stones tossed with

both hands, one in each. This step is repeated until all stones have at one point been in

the players’ hand.

12. Collecting points: After finishing each round, players must toss all the stones in the

air and catch them on the back of his/her hand to collect points. If they fail to collect any

stone, during their next turn, they must repeat this process.

13. The first player to finish the game first will be the winner.

colour.

4. You capture an opponent's piece by jumping over it, diagonally, to the adjacent

vacant square beyond it.

5. You can make a multiple jump with one piece only, by jumping to Empty Square. In a

multiple jump, the jumping piece can change directions, jumping first in one direction

and then in another direction towards your opponent’s side. You remove the jumped

pieces from the board. You cannot jump your own piece.

6. Huffing system applies that is, if you can jump, you must. And, a multiple jump must

be completed; you cannot stop part way through a multiple jump. If you have a choice

of jumps, you can choose among them, regardless of whether some of them are

multiple, or not. If not, the huffing piece will be removed.

Carrom

Basic Rules of Double Play

A coin flip is used to determine who shoots first, and the first shooter is given the

white pieces ("carrommen") to play.

You set the striker along the baseline of the board. Using the striker, and with

only your hand touching the board, you attempt to sink your own pieces by

flicking (not pushing) the striker at the target piece at the proper angle.

When you fail to sink a carroman, play passes to your opponent, the player on

your right in a four-player game.

You can pocket the queen only after having pocketed at least one of your own

pieces. If you pocket the queen and miss on your next shot, the queen goes back

to the center with one of your carommen.

No backshooting is allowed.

Winner for double will be based on the teams which sink all their carrommen

and the queen first.

Basic Rules for Single Play

Who shoots first will be determined just like the double play (i.e. coin

flipping).You continue to play as long as you sink one or more piece.

To pocket the white piece, you need to get a license. The license will be

pocketing 1 black piece and one white piece consecutively during your turn. If

not, you are only allowed to pocket the black pieces.

When you fail to sink a piece, play passes to your opponent, the player on your

right in a four-player game.

No backshooting is allowed.

To pocket the queen, a player need to pocket the red piece first and either one

white piece, or two black pieces consecutively during your turn. If you failed to

do so, one black piece is required to be returned to the board.

When all the pieces have been pocketed (are off the board), the game stops.

Winner for single plays will be based on point-system (white: 2 points; black: 1

point; queen; 5 points).

Other Rules of Play

If you inadvertently shoot your striker into a pocket, one of your carromen are

replaced on the board. The same goes when you sink opponent's pieces (applies

to double).

As for single, if you accidentally sink the striker into the pockets either two black

pieces or one white piece is returned to the board.

Forfeiting the Match

o By the official Laws of Carrom, which concern umpired tournament and

match play, a player may forfeit the match by any one of several

unsportsmanlike actions, including leaving the board without permission,

resting over the time limit, insulting the umpire, purposefully distracting

the opponent after a warning, or discontinuing play without permission.

Ultimate Frisbee

1. Each game consists of one half of 30 minutes.

2. Each team must consist of 7 players and 3 substitutes (total 10)

3. There must be a minimum of 2 female players on the pitch at all times.

4. The scoring cap is set at 11 points. If no team gets 11 points after 30 minutes, the

team with the higher score wins.

Pull

1. To begin play the ultimate players from each team line up on their end zones, and the

defense team pulls (throws) the disc to the other team as a "kick-off". Pulls are long

throws, and they are thrown in efforts of giving the offensive team poor field position

and a chance for the defense to get down the field soon enough to stop advances.

2. The team that pulls to start the game is usually decided in a manner similar to a coin

toss. Instead of using a coin often an ultimate frisbee disc is used.

Movement of the Ultimate Disc

1. The disc may be moved in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate.

2. After catching a pass, a player is required to come to a stop as quickly as possible, and

then can only move their non-pivot foot.

3. A common misconception is that a player must setup a pivot foot before they can

throw the disc.

4. In fact, the player can throw the disc before stopping within the first couple of steps

after they gain possession of the disc.

5. It is this fact that makes the "Greatest" rule possible.

6. A "Greatest" occurs when a player jumps from within bounds to catch a disc that has

passed out-of-bounds, this is also known as an "ultimate play".

7. The player must then throw the disc back in-bounds before his feet or any other part

of his body touches the ground.

8. The thrower may only catch their own throw if another player touches it in the air.

9. Upon receiving the disc, a player has ten seconds to pass it.

10. This period is known as the "stall", and each second is counted out (astall count) by a

defender (the marker), who must be standing within three meters of the thrower.




Pag

e26

11. A player may keep the disc for longer than ten seconds if no marker is within three

meters, or if the marker is not counting the stall; if there is a change of marker, the new

marker must restart the stall from zero.

Scoring

1. A point is scored when a player catches a pass in the end zone his team is attacking.

2. In older versions of the rules, only offensive players could score.

3. However, current UPA and WFDF rules allow a defensive team to score by

intercepting a pass in the end zone they are defending.

4. It is named after well-known ultimate player Henry Callahan.

5. After a point is scored, the teams exchange ends.

6. The team who just scored remains in that end zone, and the opposing team takes the

opposite end zone.

7. This can be commonly referred to in the phrase: "Losers walk." Play is re-initiated

with a pull by the scoring team.

Change of possession

1. An incomplete pass results in a change of possession.

2. When this happens the defence immediately becomes the offense and gains

possession of the disc where it comes to a stop on the field of play, or where it first

travelled out of bounds.

3. Play does not stop because of a turnover.

Reasons for turnovers:

Throw-away — the thrower misses his target and the disc falls to the ground.

Drop — the receiver is not able to catch the disc.

Block — a defender deflects the disc in mid-flight, causing it to hit the ground.

Interception — a defender catches a disc thrown by the offense.

Out of bounds — the disc lands out of bounds, hits an object out of bounds or is

caught by a player who lands out of bounds or leaps from outside the playing

field.

Stall — a player on offense does not release the disc before the defender has

counted out ten seconds.

Stoppage of play

Play may stop for the following reasons:

Fouls

A foul is the result of contact between players, although incidental contact (not affecting

the play) does not constitute a foul. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes

as if the possession were retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with

(contests) the foul call, the disc is returned to the last thrower.

Violations

A violation occurs when a player violates the rules but does not initiate physical contact.

Common violations include traveling with the disc, double teaming, and picking (moving

in a manner so as to obstruct the movement of any player on the defensive team).

Time outs and half-time

By Eleventh Edition rules, each team is allowed two time outs per half. The halftime

break occurs when one team reaches the half-way marker in the score. Since most

games are played to odd numbers, the number for half-time is rounded up. For instance,

if the game is to 13, half comes when one team scores 7. A break may also occur if an

injury occurs.

Injuries

Play stops whenever a player is injured—this is considered an injury time-out. During

the duration, it is customary for players on the field to kneel or sit to ensure that they

stay in their original positions. The injured person must then leave the field, and a

substitute may come in. If an injured player is substituted for, the opposing team may

also substitute a player.

Weather

While Ultimate may be played in a myriad of weather conditions including heavy rain

and deep snow, nearby lightning should result in stoppage of play with players seeking

shelter. Many times, precipitation will result in a hiatus in order to protect the playing

field.




Pag

e28

Substitutions

Teams are allowed to substitute players after a point is scored or for injured player after

an injury time out. In the case of an injury substitution, the opposing team is allowed to

make a substitution for a non-injured player.

Refereeing

Players are responsible for foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes. This

creates a spirit of honesty and respect on the playing field. It is the duty of the player

who committed the foul to speak up and admit his infraction. Occasionally, official

observers are used to aid players in refereeing, known as observers.
