- During play, the disc may be thrown in any direction.
-You cannot run with the disc and on receiving it, you must release it within TEN seconds.
-You lose possession, if the disc touches the ground, goes out of play or if your opponent catches it.
- A point is scored when a team-mate catches the disc in the opponent's end zone.
