New RulesUltimate Frisbee Tip 1. Use the dump. Sometimes the best way to advance the disc is by moving backward. For true beginners throwing a dump may seem like bad offense. However, it is easy to see a good dump and swing across the field will open up a whole new playing field.Ultimate Frisbee Tip 2. Use the full range of your pivot. Using your pivot has many advantages. First of all, you'll have a much lower chance of being hand blocked of you use your pivot. Second, it gives your offence a chance to cut home or away thus increasing the chances of moving the disc up the field. Ultimate Frisbee Tip 3. Throw fakes, but be careful not to drop the disc. If you're getting hand blocked a lot (once or more each time you play) it is because they know where you are going to throw. Fakes are important to prevent from being hand blocked. This is also a good place to use your pivot. Practice pivoting to the backhand side the back and throwing forehand and vice versa. Pivoting isn't always necessary for a good fake though. A good hammer fake will often throw off the defender as well. WFDF Rules of Ultimate 2008 (Effective from 31/05/08) One new rule to take note is that there is no more middle call but only brick call. If the disc becomes out-of-bounds without first touching the playing field or an offensive player, the thrower may establish the pivot foot either at the brick point or at the spot where the disc was last, partly over the playing fiend. The brick option must be signaled by the intended thrower before picking up the disc by fully extending one arm above their head. | |
