Tuesday Co-ed League
2008 Tuesday Rec League Rules
Fields
All games will be at the National Sports Center in Blaine.
Remember,
NO ALCOHOL is allowed on the fields. This means no
beer, etc. at after game cookouts. If we lose our fields, the league is
over.
Games
Games start at 6:45 p.m. You’re encourage to show up early (say
around 6:15) to find the right field, change, warm up, do a few drills,
etc.
Games are to 15. There will be no time cap, but the captains may agree
to call the game on account of darkness.
Rules
We are playing under the UPA 11th Edition Rules. You can get a copy from
the UPA website at http://www.upa.org/ultimate/rules/rules.shtml
There are a few exceptions we’d like to highlight:
- Due to the short fields at Blaine, brick is 15 yards
- Players will be able to call equipment timeouts
Players
In the Co-ed league, each team must have three men and three
women on the field at all times. If both teams have at least one sub for
each gender, games can be played 4F/3M (offense gets to choose whether 3
or 4 women will be on the line for the pull).
Walk-on players (such as visitors or friends) are allowed, with the
following limitations:
- Walk on players must sign a waiver before
playing.
- You must let your team and the opposing team's
captain(s) know,
- A walk on player must be a reasonably fair "1 for 1" replacement for
a missing player on the roster. Captains work hard with TCUL to balance
team strength at the draft, and walk-ons should preserve that balance, not
disrupt it.
- A walk-on player may only play in a maximum of two games during
the season
In addition to the above, the following limitations also apply during
playoffs:
- Walk-on players are only allowed in order to bring a team to a
maximum of 5 men and 4 women. If the team already has 5+ men or 4+ women,
then walk-on players are not allowed.
- Walk-on players must be approved by the TCUL board in advance of the
game. Email tcul@mnultimate.org,
your team, and the opposing captain in advance with the names of the walk-on
player and the missing player the walk-on is replacing. Remember: a walk-on
must be a fair "1 for 1" replacement; one walk-on must fairly replace only
one missing player.
Please remember that registered players have paid for the opportunity to
play. Having walk-on players reduces playing time for registered players
and is not fair to them.
Information Board
An information board will be set up each week near the fields. Please be
sure to check the board each week for notices, team standings, lost &
found, etc.
First Aid
A small first aid kit and a bag of ice are kept at the information
board. These supplies are for those who need them in emergencies only.
Please do not use first aid supplies for routine taping/bandaging.
Rain and lightning
In case of inclement weather, a decision will be made by 6:00 pm about
whether to cancel to the games. If severe weather is imminent, games will
be canceled and an announcement placed on the TCUL website
(
www.mnultimate.org).
Games may also be canceled at game time or during the game if there
is lightning anywhere in the area.
If your game is canceled,
please do not play.
