In Freestyle events, the cmpetitr may swim any strke. The strke mst cmmnly used is smetimes called the crawl, which is characterized by the alternate strking f the arms ver the water surface and an alternating (upand-dwn) flutter kick. On turns and finishes, sme part f the swimmer must tuch the wall. Mst swimmers d a flip turn. The Breaststrke requires simultaneus mvements f the arms n the same hrizntal plane. The hands are pressed ut frm in frnt f the breast in a heart shaped pattern and recvered under r n the surface f the water. The kick is a simultaneus smewhat circular mtin similar t the actin f a frg. On turns and at the finish, the swimmer must tuch the wall with bth hands simultaneusly at, abve r belw the water surface. Team Medley, cmmnly referred t as the I.M., features all fur strkes.

A false start ccurs when an athlete begins the starting mtin after assuming a full r final set psitin befre the firing f the starting device. If a cmpetitr disturbs ther athletes at the starting line, it may be cnsidered a false start. Thugh frequently changed in recent past, the first false start results in disqualificatin frm the race.

ULTIMATE FRISBEE Each game cnsists f tw 15 minute halves, with n breaks. Each team must cnsist f 7 players and 5 substitutes (ttal 12). There must be a minimum f 2 female players n the pitch at all times. The scring cap is set at 11 pints. Each team will be allwed tw timeuts thrughut the game. Each timeut shall nt be lnger than 1 minute. Rules: Pull T begin play the ultimate players frm each team line up n their end znes, and the defense team pulls (thrws) the disc t the ther team as a "kick-ff". Pulls are lng thrws, and they are thrwn in effrts f giving the ffensive team pr field psitin and a chance fr the defense t get dwn the field sn enugh t stp advances. The team that pulls t start the game is usually decided in a manner similar t a cin tss. Instead f using a cin ften an ultimate frisbee disc is used. Mvement f the Ultimate Disc The disc may be mved in any directin by cmpleting a pass t a teammate. After catching a pass, a player is required t cme t a stp as quickly as pssible, and then can nly mve their nn-pivt ft. A cmmn miscnceptin is that a player must setup a pivt ft befre they can thrw the disc. In fact, the player can thrw the disc befre stpping within the first cuple f steps after they gain pssessin f the disc. It is this fact that makes the "Greatest" rule pssible. A "Greatest" ccurs when a player jumps frm within bunds t catch a disc that has passed utf-bunds, this is als knwn as an "ultimate play". Page 20
The player must then thrw the disc back in-bunds befre his feet r any ther part f his bdy tuches the grund. The thrwer may nly catch their wn thrw if anther player tuches it in the air. Upn receiving the disc, a player has ten secnds t pass it. This perid is knwn as the "stall", and each secnd is cunted ut (astall cunt) by a defender (the marker), wh must be standing within three meters f the thrwer. A player may keep the disc fr lnger than ten secnds if n marker is within three meters, r if the marker is nt cunting the stall; if there is a change f marker, the new marker must restart the stall frm zer. Scring A pint is scred when a player catches a pass in the end zne his team is attacking. After a pint is scred, the teams exchange ends. The team wh just scred remains in that end zne, and the ppsing team takes the ppsite end zne. Change f pssessin An incmplete pass results in a change f pssessin. When this happens the defence immediately becmes the ffense and gains pssessin f the disc where it cmes t a stp n the field f play, r where it first travelled ut f bunds. Play des nt stp because f a turnver. Page 21
Reasns fr turnvers: Thrw-away the thrwer misses his target and the disc falls t the grund. Drp the receiver is nt able t catch the disc. Blck a defender deflects the disc in mid-flight, causing it t hit the grund. Interceptin a defender catches a disc thrwn by the ffense. Out f bunds the disc lands ut f bunds, hits an bject ut f bunds r is caught by a player wh lands ut f bunds r leaps frm utside the playing field. Stall a player n ffense des nt release the disc befre the defender has cunted ut ten secnds. If a ful is called the play may be stpped mmentarily.if the player cmmitting the ful disagrees with (cntests) the ful call, the disc is returned t the last thrwer. Vilatin ccurs when a player vilates the rules but des nt initiate physical cntact. Cmmn vilatins include traveling with the disc, duble teaming, and picking (mving in a manner s as t bstruct the mvement f any player n the defensive team). Teams are allwed t substitute players after a pint is scred r fr injured player after an injury time ut. In the case f an injury substitutin, the ppsing team is allwed t make a substitutin fr a nn-injured player. Players are respnsible fr ful and line calls. Players reslve their wn disputes. This creates a spirit f hnesty and respect n the playing field. It is the duty f the player wh cmmitted the ful t speak up and admit his infractin. Occasinally, fficial bservers are used t aid players in refereeing, knwn as bservers. Team unifrm is mandatry r bibs as substitutins. Prper ftwear and attire shuld be wrn during the game. Page 22

Starting the game: The first centre pass is decided between the tw captains by the tss f a cin. The centre passes then alternate between the teams, regardless f which team has scred. Befre the whistle, all players must start in the gal thirds except the tw Centres. The Centre with the ball must be whlly within the Centre Circle and must bey the ftwrk rule after the whistle has been blwn. The ppsing Centre stands anywhere within the Centre Third and is free t mve. After the whistle the Centre pass must be caught r tuched by a player standing in r landing whlly within the Centre third. A player must nt break at the centre pass, which is mving int the Centre third befre the whistle is blwn fr the Centre pass. Players must get nside quickly at the centre pass. The Centre with the ball must hurry back t the centre circle and step straight in. If she waits fr her players t get back nside, this is called delaying play. A free pass wuld be awarded t the ppsing team in any f these instances abve. Ftwrk A player can receive the ball: With bth feet grunded r jump t catch the ball and land n tw feet simultaneusly. Yu may then take a step in any directin with ne ft (but nt bth) and pivt n the spt with the ther ft. Once ne ft is mved, the ther is cnsidered t be the landing ft. With ne ft grunded r jump t catch the ball and land n ne ft. The landing ft cannt be mved, ther than t pivt n the spt, whilst the ther ft can be mved in any directin. Once the landing ft is lifted, it must nt be re-grunded until the ball is released. Hpping r dragging the landing ft is nt allwed. If yu break the ftwrk rule, a free pass will be awarded t the ppsing team Page 26
Obstructin A player attempting t intercept r defend the ball must be at least 3ft (0.9m) away frm the player with the ball. This distance is measured frm the landing ft f the player in pssessin f the ball. The defender may jump t intercept r defend the ball frm this 0.9m (3ft) feet distance but yu must ensure if yu d jump t defend a ball, yu dn t land any nearer that 3ft r this is bstructin (i.e. shrtening yur distance). A penalty pass will be awarded if yu bstruct a player as described abve. Taking free passes and penalties Yu have 3 secnds frm setting the free pass/penalty in which t take it. If yu decide that anther player wuld be better taking it, yu must place the ball back n the flr. D nt walk twards the ther player t pass it t them (ftwrk) r hand it t them (shrt pass). Any ppsing player allwed in that area may take the free pass/penalty. a change f marker, the new marker must restart the stall frm zer. Shting Only the GS and GA are able t scre gals fr yur team. They must be whlly inside the gal circle t sht. Page 27
Thrw in The ball is thrwn back int play frm the pint where it went ff the curt. It is ut f curt when it cntacts anything utside the curt area (except the galpst). When taking a thrw in, a player places her ft up t but nt n the sideline r backline f the curt. The lines are part f the curt. If any part f yur ft is tuching the line r yu step int the curt in the prcess f taking the thrw in, this is deemed t be a ful thrw. This includes walking n the curt t pass the ball t anther player if yu decide that they shuld take the thrw in. In this instance, yu shuld leave the ball n the flr utside the curt fr the player t then pick up. Yu have 3 secnds frm when yu take up yur psitin at the side f the curt in which t thrw the ball.
