Ultimate Fours Women Tournament – 18.08.2024

 

 

 

Flying Angels Bern hosts Switzerland's first Ultimate Fours Women* Tournament

On Sunday 18.08.24, we invite you to participate in our Ultimate Fours Women* tournament in Bern.

What is Ultimate 4’s? It mainly means smaller fields and smaller teams played 4 against 4. The format was first introduced in 2021 and has since gained a big following! Click here to know what WFDF wrote about it

Why Ultimate 4’s? Because it means more disc contact which makes it even more fun. You can sign up as a team or individually, and we will find an awesome team for you!

Please note. Appropriate insurance  coverage is the responsibility of the participants (injury, damage, loss, etc.). The organizer does not assume responsibility for participants‘ health, safety, security, or support.

*FLINTA are welcome

The current WFDF Ultimate Rules apply if not stated otherwise below:
– Four players per team
– Fields are smaller (sorry we cannot give you exact dimensions about the size at our tournament)
– Pull:
o Any pull that touches the out-of-bounds area results in a brick.
o This includes all perimeter lines and includes any contact with those out of-bounds areas
even after the pull has hit the ground.
o The brick is at mid-field.
– Stalls are 7 seconds (starting with 1 going to 7).
o Stall at the “S” in “seven.”
o Stall counts resume as in Section 9.5 of the WFDF rules with the following adaptations:
-> “maximum 9” becomes “maximum 6”
-> “maximum 6” becomes “maximum 4”
-> Contested stall – restarts at “Stalling 5”
– No timeouts
– End of the game
o When the clock for a half expires, the current point concludes (you canNOT finish the point)
o When the clock for a match expires and the teams are separated by more than 1 point, the
game is over immediately (you cannot finish the point).
o If teams are separated by one point or less, they continue playing until the next team scores.
o If the score is tied, teams play one more point (universe).
