True. If you no longer believe that a call you made was correct, you should retract it. According to the rules of Ultimate, a player making any call who subsequently determines that their call was incorrect can retract the call by calling "Retracted." This allows the game to continue with fairness and maintains the spirit of the game.

False. According to the rules of Ultimate, while players can request advice from non-players such as those on the sidelines regarding a call, the final decision still rests with the players involved in the call. Non-players can provide their perspective when asked, but it is ultimately up to the players on the field to make the final call. This ensures that the spirit of the game and self-officiation are maintained.

True. According to the rules, non-players must not provide advice regarding a call unless they are specifically requested to by a player involved in the incident. If play has stopped and a player is unable to make a call due to reasons such as injury or language barriers, then a teammate may make the call on their behalf. However, general advice from non-players, including those on the sideline, is not permitted unless explicitly requested by the players involved in the call. This ensures that the integrity of the game is maintained by having those directly involved in the play make the decisions.

False. According to the rules, specifically in the context of a deliberate or egregious breach of the rules, captains do have the authority to handle the situation with an outcome that may not be strictly dictated by the rules. This allows for flexibility in managing situations that are intentionally or flagrantly against the rules to ensure fair play and the spirit of the game.

In Ultimate frisbee, discussions regarding fouls should be kept as brief as possible. According to the rules, the suggested maximum length of a stoppage due to a discussion is forty-five (45) seconds. If it becomes clear that no resolution will be reached within this time, the disc should be returned to the last non-disputed thrower. This guideline helps maintain the flow of the game and ensures that play is not unduly delayed by extended discussions.

In Ultimate frisbee, non-players, such as coaches or sideline supporters, are generally not allowed to directly influence the game by making calls or prompting players to make specific game decisions, including calling time-outs. The spirit and rules of Ultimate emphasize that decisions should be made by the players on the field. This is in line with the "Spirit of the Game" which is a fundamental principle of Ultimate, stressing sportsmanship and fair play. According to the rules, if play has stopped and a player is unable to make a call due to reasons like injury or language barriers, a teammate may make a call on their behalf. Teams may also use a non-player as a translator to assist in communication during a stoppage, but this is strictly for the purpose of overcoming language barriers and not for coaching or game strategy (source_reference). Therefore, non-players should not prompt players to call a time-out. Any strategic decisions, including the calling of time-outs, should be made autonomously by the players actively participating in the game.

In Ultimate frisbee, non-players are generally not allowed to prompt players on the field to call for a time-out. The rules emphasize that it is the responsibility of the players themselves to make calls, including time-outs. Non-players can only provide advice or intervene in specific situations when explicitly requested by a player involved in the game. For instance, non-players may assist as translators during a stoppage to facilitate communication but should not influence the decision-making process regarding game plays such as calling time-outs.

In Ultimate frisbee, the decision to call a timeout must be made by the players on the field. According to the "Rules of Ultimate - Spirit of the Game (1.10.2)", it is up to the players involved to make the final call during gameplay. Non-players, including team members who are not currently on the field, are not allowed to make calls or prompt for a timeout unless specifically requested by a player involved in the game. This rule ensures that the game remains player-driven and minimizes external influences on the decision-making process during play.

In the situation where a receiver catches a pass that is very close to the ground and there is a stoppage to discuss what happened, if after discussion it remains unclear whether the disc touched the ground before the catch, the disc should be returned to the last non-disputed thrower. This is in accordance with the Spirit of the Game, which emphasizes resolving disputes with a spirit of sportsmanship and fairness. If no resolution can be reached, the disc is returned to the last non-disputed thrower to continue play.

False. According to the rules of Ultimate, if there is a stoppage to discuss a play and it remains unclear whether the disc touched the ground before the catch, the disc should be returned to the last non-disputed thrower. The offense does not automatically get the benefit of the doubt for the catch to stand. The resolution should be to return the disc to the thrower unless it is clearly established that the catch was made before the disc contacted the ground.

False. It is not acceptable to make calls in retaliation to an opponent's call in Ultimate frisbee. The "Spirit of the Game" is a fundamental aspect of Ultimate, which includes maintaining a high level of sportsmanship and fair play. Making calls in retaliation goes against this principle.

If the players cannot reasonably determine the outcome of the play, returning the disc to the last non-disputed thrower is the appropriate course of action.

True. According to the rules of Ultimate, specifically the Spirit of the Game, there is a provision that allows captains to deal with deliberate or egregious breaches of the rules by determining an appropriate outcome, even if that outcome is not explicitly dictated by the rules.

True. If after discussion players cannot agree on what occurred in a play or what would most likely have occurred, the disc must be returned to the last non-disputed thrower according to the Rules of Ultimate.

False. According to the information provided, captains do have the authority to deal with deliberate or egregious breaches of the rules with an outcome not dictated by the rules. This means that in certain situations, captains can agree on an outcome that differs from what the standard rules would prescribe, in order to address the intentional or flagrant violation appropriately. This is explicitly allowed to ensure fairer outcomes and to enable self-officiating to work as effectively as possible.

False. While players may ask for perspective from people on the sideline regarding an out-of-bounds call, it is ultimately up to the players involved to make the final call. The sideline perspective can assist in the decision-making process, but the final decision rests with the players on the field. This is in line with the spirit of the game, which emphasizes that players are responsible for their own conduct and the resolution of disputes on the field.

If play has stopped, and a player is unable to make a call, for example due to injury or language barriers, then a teammate may make a call on their behalf. Teams may use a non-player as a translator to assist in communication during a stoppage. This indicates that sideline individuals can give advice on foul calls if they are specifically asked to do so by the players involved in the call.

True. Actions such as intentional fouling, cheating, dangerous plays, disrespectful conversations, and other 'win at all costs' behavior are clear violations of the Spirit of the Game and must be avoided according to the rules of Ultimate.

True. According to the rules of Ultimate, if there is a dispute during a game and it is not possible to be reasonably certain of exactly what happened (for example, no one had a good view, or it happened too quickly), and it is difficult to determine whether something 'affected the play', the disc should be returned to the last non-disputed thrower. This is in line with the Spirit of the Game, which emphasizes sportsmanship and fair play.

True. The rules of Ultimate have been updated to allow captains to deal with deliberate or egregious breaches of the rules by determining an appropriate outcome, even if that outcome is not specifically dictated by the rules. This is to ensure fairer outcomes and to enable self-officiating to work as effectively as possible.

In the scenario where a defender incorrectly initiates a stoppage while the disc is in the air, and the opposition subsequently drops the disc, the rules of Ultimate state that the disc should be returned to the thrower. This is based on the principle that if the opposition does not gain or retain possession due to the incorrect stoppage, the disc must go back to the last non-disputed thrower, unless another rule applies that would dictate a different outcome. However, if it is determined that the call or event (the incorrect stoppage) did not affect the outcome of the play—meaning the drop would have occurred regardless of the stoppage—the disc may not need to be returned to the thrower. This determination would typically involve a discussion among the players involved to ascertain whether the stoppage had an impact on the play. In summary, the default action after an incorrect stoppage is to return the disc to the thrower, but this may be overridden if it is clear that the stoppage did not affect the play.

Non-players can be used as translators to assist in communication during a stoppage, but they should not provide unsolicited advice on calls.

False. According to the Spirit of the Game principles, players should not change the way they make calls based on the context of the game. This means that if minor travel infractions were not called at the start of the game, they should not be called later in the game just because the scores are close and the game is nearing its end. Consistency in making calls is key to maintaining the spirit and fairness of the game.

You should use a backhand throw in Ultimate frisbee when you want to throw the disc with your dominant hand on the same side as your body. The backhand throw is a common and versatile throwing technique that allows for accurate and controlled throws. It involves gripping the disc with your thumb on top and your fingers underneath, then pulling your arm across your body and releasing the disc with a flick of the wrist. The backhand throw is especially useful for shorter throws and when you want to throw with precision. It is important to practice and develop your backhand throw to become a well-rounded player in Ultimate frisbee.

It is crucial to make calls in a consistent manner throughout the game, as stated in the same source (1.3.9).

A "Dangerous Play" in ultimate frisbee refers to a situation where a player makes or attempts to make a play that could potentially cause serious injury to themselves or other players. This can include actions such as late diving bids that result in heavy collisions, tackling another player, or using another player to assist in a leap. Players have the right to call "dangerous play" when they believe an opponent's actions pose a significant risk of injury. The specific process for handling dangerous play calls may vary, but it is important to note and record such incidents, even if they do not result in formal calls. The dangerous play can be contested, and if upheld, it is resolved as if the player had called a foul. The calling player may choose to treat the dangerous play as a receiving foul or a general foul, depending on the circumstances. If a dangerous play call is uncontested or ruled by an observer, the offending player may be issued a Personal Misconduct Foul or even face ejection, depending on the severity of the infraction and the potential for injury.

False. According to the Rules of Ultimate - Spirit of the Game (1.10), if players agree to ask a person on the sideline for their perspective on an out of bounds call, they are not obligated to accept that person's call. The decision ultimately lies with the players involved in the game.
