RULES
- All games are played 4v4 with an even gender-match split
- All games arrre to 13.
- Endzone to opposite endzone cross-gender completions are worth two (2) points.
- Callahan goals (the defense catching in the opponent’s endzone) are worth two (2) points.
- Stall count is to 8.
- There is only a hard cap, no soft cap. The hard cap is at 50 minutes of play.
- When hard cap is reached, finish the current point (if you’re “between points” and preparing to pull, ye play that point). At the end of that point, if one team is ahead, they win; if tied, ye play one last point, Univerrrse Point.
- Mirror pull after halftime cap. Halftime should only last 3 minutes.
- Each team gets one timeout per half and it’s 60 seconds long.
- Pulls do not need to be inverted.
- There is no traditional brick mark; instead, all out-of-bounds pulls (in-air or roll-outs) are either: put in at the place where they went out but centered; centered at mid-field; or centered on the receiving team’s endzone line.
- The gender ratio is 2:2. Pullers of both gender-match alternate pulling duties.
- Foot blocks are legal, but any kicking of sand into an opponent’s face is an automatic uncontested foul.
- For everyone’s safety, footwear other than booties/sand socks is prohibited; if you require footwear for medical reasons please alert opponents before starting your game.
- All other rules of the game follow USA Ultimate’s current ruleset and Beach Appendix.
- Field Size
- We’re using our new field size, which got great reviews in 2024.
- Miss 5v5 hucks? But also wonder why “regular” 4v4 fields are so wide? Us too. Hence: the LeiOut 4v4 field will consist of a 40.5yd long by 25yd wide central zone, with 7.5yd long endzones.
