- 12. The part of the field in the direction of the offensive team’s end zone relative to thrower. Dump Pass/ A short lateral or backwards pass.
- 13. To begin play, players from each team line on their end zones and the defensive team throws to the other team, as a ‘Kick Off’. Each time a goal is scored, the teams switch the direction of their attack and the team which scored stays in that end zone and throws off to the other.

- 2. Pass A pass used to move the disc laterally across the field; often used in conjunction with the dump.
- 3. Any of the six players playing defense not covering the thrower.
- 4. an offensive player in position to receive a pass from a thrower. After catching a pass, the receiver is only allowed the fewest number of steps required to come to a stop and establish a pivot foot.
- 5. The foot upon which the thrower pivots. Usually, it is the opposite foot of the throwing hand.
- 6. Bodily contact by defensive players, usually to the hands or arms of offensive players, which clearly interference with either the throw or the catch.

- 8. count The amount of time the offensive player with the disc has to throw it. The stall count must be called aloud by the marker at a reasonable pace, beginning with “stalling, one, two, and three...” The player calling the stall must be within 3 meters of the person with the disc in order to count, but must also be at least an arm’s length away from the player.

- 19. A violation that occurs when a defensive players cannot cover her/his opponent because of bodily interference by another player. It is a dangerous play in Ultimate because of the speed with which players are running. Picks don’t have to be intentional and you can be picked by your own teammate.
