Finally got around to updating my supplemental rules resources for 2024-2025.

Abridged rulebook (good for both new and experienced players): https://t.co/pAfwDrMtdd

Rules quiz (not good for rookies): https://t.co/tvwS6PKBtB

Spirit captains should be able to get 90% on the quiz

@ndultimate will there be tweets for the final?

@Ultiworld I heard that the reason observers pause before signaling goal is so that we can have reactions like this to amazing plays

Touchdown Jesus when he sees Notre Dame put names on their jerseys

Due to an ATC bottleneck, San Diego has two flights to San Francisco boarding at the same time at two adjacent gates, it's so cute it's like the planes are going on a date in the sky 🤗🤗🤗

@ndultimate FYI, you want to always reply to the previous tweet so you get a chronological chain. Otherwise the points can show up out of order.

@RipCityUltimate For me, SOTG is:
you'd rather not hurt me than win the game
you won't lie about what you see
you won't break the rules just to get an advantage (even if you could get away with it)
It's not being "nice" or "happy" or whatever.
Oh, and /1

[Uncle Eggman @RipCityUltimate]

Sotg isn’t inherently as bad as people think. But the way it’s used can be annoying, helpful, malicious, or anywhere in between. Nothing in the rules says you have to be friends with your opponent. And “joy of play” is expressed differently from athlete to athlete.

[cotton @SebastianMiner]

If you think your team makes fewer bad calls than your opponents over the course of a season, the problem is your fair-mindedness, not your opponents'.

What Frisbee Opinion Has You Like This

@onnorcolson @UltiPlanet That was the idea with the new travel annotation, and then everyone just took it to mean that traveling is allowed now :/

@onedrunkowl @USAUltimate This tournament was not directed by USA Ultimate

PEC-West
36 teams, ~30 people per team
10 toilets (55% of what is recommended by tournament director's manual)

Here is the line for the one water station

I understand why George is furious

There were a couple of instances of prolonged (about a minute) conversations resulting in a retraction or no-contest. Often you'll know when it's time to agree to disagree and send it back, but sometimes the conversation actually is worth it.

Sharing some self-officiation–related observations from D-III and D-I nationals here. Just gonna keep spitting them out as they come to me.

First, when the disc goes out the side of the end zone, people are setting their pivots like a yard in bounds. And no one is calling it.

[cotton @SebastianMiner]

Time and time again, especially at D-III, I saw players pull up from potential dangerous plays and give up their play on the disc. You could make a highlight reel of all the times players consciously made decisions to keep people safe, at the expense of playing the disc.
