Hear about how you can score points...

  • Winning the game will grant you and your teammates 2 points.

  • A victory by 6 or more points will grant you and your teammates 6 points, as an offensive bonus.

  • Losing by 1 or 2 points will grant you and your teammates 1 point, as a defensive bonus.

  • Less than 10 people present? This will grant 4 points to the people present.

Some other basic rules...

  • We play on astro turf.

  • Game will happen if at least 10 people show up.

  • We will create teams as equal as possible in terms of level and gender.

  • Game will last at least 45' and maximum 80' with a cap+1. No scoring limit.

  • Half time after 40’. Finish the point, play one more, then it’s half. 2’ break.

  • 2 TO per team per half.

  • More than two teams / games could be organised on the same evening depending on how many people show up.

  • We play following the WFDF rules, with an "open" division format. That means no "mixed" rules such as gender ratio or pulling rules.

  • Beginners are more than welcome. In fact, it's a great opportunity to meet people and learn the game the fun way. For people who have never played any Ultimate game or who don't know the rules, we will grant 1 presence point, plus an introduction to Ultimate rules and basic strategy by a member from Mooncatchers. Some throwing drills will also be set up for you. You'll be invited to play a few points if you feel confident, or you can just watch and continue throwing and start playing a game when you feel ready, no rush !

  • Drinks might be available for purchase after the game.

The winner of the Summer League will win a Mooncatchers Sun Hoodie.
