1.2.1. If there is a deliberate or egregious breach of the rules or Spirit of the Game, the captains should discuss this and determine an appropriate outcome, even if that outcome is not in accordance with a specific rule. Annotation 1.2.1 Example: A defender intentionally double teams the thrower, with no regard for any other offensive players, and gets a block. Result: Captains may choose to return the disc to the thrower.

💯 Tho I wish @Hive Ultimate would mention the rule in the video. Interestingly, that also entails that the rules try to encode the spirit of the game to the best of their abilities, hence the intent (spirit) of the rules matters more than the wording.

The increased width of AUDL fields, compared to standard Ultimate fields, allows the rules to include Double Team defense. This is also why you seldom see zone defence employed in the AUDL. I'd suppose that AUDL, PUL can write their rules and be confident in their players being highly skilled and experienced. Rules from the WFDF affect every format and level of Ultimate: Double Teams would ruin the game at low levels of play, and probably the majority of mixed games too, purely based on average height. It would be boring and annoying to be involved in.

I think elite mixed would cope fine, in my experience most short FMPs just get good at throwing under their marks rather than over them. But yeah, most beginners have enough trouble with a single person standing there and shouting numbers at them, double teams would really make it hard to get people into the sport...

I think the double team call should be a call anyone on offense can make. Not so that someone way downfield calls it but so that it allows a handler reset to take on that job instead of the handler in situations like this
@inkor Жыл бұрын
I call double teams in our pick-up game as need, as it works great since the newer players on offense don't know to call it and the newer players on defense do it unintentionally. So it that situation it get everyone moving and we just play on.

any turn that's a result of a doubleteam should also be treated as a marking foul. the fact that someone can double team just out of sight and make a block that can't be overturned is hot dog shit.

15.5. In general only the thrower may claim an infraction, by calling the specific name of the infraction. 15.5.1. However any offensive player may call a double team, and any defensive player may call a travel infraction. You're thought is already the rules.
@tamir727 Жыл бұрын
I agree with other posters that intentional double teaming is a violation of the SOTG rule (violations are assumed to be unintentional) and that a thrower should be able to call an infraction occurring during a throw retroactively (perhaps a "vision", "straddle", or "wrapping" which results in a block without contact would fall under this category, too). The main problem I see with allowing double teams is the amount of contact that would result. Double teams in the AUDL often result in the thrower having (choosing?) to push between two large, active defenders with lots of contact. Would this result in lots of "contact" or "foul" calls, slowing the game to a crawl? Perhaps. Furthermore, would you then propose to allow triple teams? Quadruple teams? This would again result in lots of exciting, well-executed upside-down throws, but also plenty more contact. In any case, as long as ultimate is a philosophically (perhaps not practically across all levels and divisions) non-contact sport, removing the double team rule (or the pick rule, as proposed by other posters) would seem at odds with that philosophy.

@@TheAussieaustin I hear people say this a lot, but then you have to ask, would a person be able to throw as well if they had to put an extra emphasis on actually keeping their foot on the ground where it's supposed to be. To me travels always impact the throw, because how do we know the person can throw correctly when they don't travel. Yes I'm sure 90+% of the time, it wouldn't matter, but if you start trying to ''draw the line'' it can get tricky. I'm playing at a decent level for 13 years and I've never called it, but I still think if a foot lifts during a throw, it matters, and I'd never accept someone saying ''did it impact the throw'' if it was against my team in a game, even if it's two wide open players 10 meters apart. If it's called a travel, make it go back and throw it properly. This never happened either. But to me travel impacting the play is much more important than ''how did the contact impact such and such'', although maybe some people have the flip side view to me. Lol, I work hard to try not travel, I ain't letting someone else get off easy ;)

How was that 'nowhere near a travel??' He lifts his pivot foot and changes direction before taking off. Removing the 'double team' rule would ruin Mixed ultimate for FM players and reduce inclusion in handling roles as it would be so challenging to throw overheads over much taller opponents and many of us rely on fakes and low release breaks to break a zone but this would be difficult against double teams. Many MM can throw massive pitch length hammers but it is rare for FM to have this ability.

traveling in asian ultimate culture is just egregious. they basically never call it, so they never condition themselves to try and not do it. it's not just 33. look at just about anyone on their team. lots of little hops while faking and pivoting. often taking a huge lunge after momentum is gone to establish a pivot somewhere. turning with momentum after a catch. it's blatant and frequent.

The illegal double team block is arguably a foul, as it looks like he kicked the disc before she had fully released it.. the replays from behind show it best
@inkor Жыл бұрын
Not arguably. I think it's very clearly a foul as the thrower had come nowhere near clear in completing her throwing motion. We can't fault the people there since we have the advantage of hindsight from multiple angles even. From this snippet it's hard to have much respect for the player who committed the double team and a strip at the same time.

In my rather limited experience of watching international ultimate (and not being nearly good enough to play at that level), u24s does seem to have slightly worse spirit than the senior divisions. I guess the fact the players are younger means their rules knowledge possibly isn't as good, then the fact that it's the first full international tournament for many, and also possibly the last of they're not sure they'll make the senior national team, can lead to a bit of a "win at all costs" mentality

That is one of the worst spirited single plays I think I've seen: Probably a strip Definitely an intentional double team Plays through the call Uses a technical error in the rules to their advantage I think allowing double teams would be terrible for gender equity in mixed. Female matching handlers already notice marginal double teams in zone much more than male matching players. The concept exists in other sports too. In netball defenders must keep a 3 foot gap , which effectively leaves a window even when double teamed.

As long as the rules say no Double Team, I think the rules should also allow for calling the Double Team after the throw just like a foul on the throw would be called. But personally I think double teams should be allowed because Ultimate is very offence dominant. This is also why I think that disallowing the pick is good.

please tell me what other game/sport is not "offence dominated".. literally like NBA, NFL... all the games have rules where offence rules.. there are barely any sports where you get points for doing something on defence and not regaining possession to become the offence.. only thing i can think of off the top of my head is getting a "safety" in the NFL..
