Offense
Ultimate football can be played on any general athletic surface. Generally,
end zone s are assigned at each lateral side of the playing surface. A game begins with a team in possession trying to advance a football forward to the opposing goal. Once a player obtains possession of the ball, he or she mustpass or lateral the ball to another player within five seconds or two steps of obtaining possession without taking any steps. If the player holding the ball moves one or both feet, or lifts his pivot foot after two steps, he is charged for walking and the other team is given the ball. If the ball touches the ground at all or is intercepted by the defense, the ball goes to the opposing team and they begin to advance the ball in the opposite direction. Also, there can only be one defender guarding an offensive player that has the ball.coring
Points are awarded when an offensive player catches the pass of another offensive player in the endzone area. Games generally are played until a predetermined number of points are scored by one team, or by timed periods.
Defense
The job of the defense is to flail about at the offensive player with the ball, and languish in their impotence to hamper his progress in any way. The defense cannot touch the player with possession of the ball at any time, else an element of fun may be introduced into the game. If this happens, the offense is awarded a reset of players and the player who was fouled is given the ball to replay.
