In five easy steps!
Each time the offense completes a pass into the defense's endzone, the offense scores a point.
The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players can't run with the disc, similar to netball.
When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception), the defense immediately takes possession of the disc and becomes the offense.
Players not in the game may replace players in the game after a score or during an injury timeout.
No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. A foul occurs when contact is made.
When a player initiates contact on another player, a foul occurs. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if the possession was retained. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone.
