Step 2Play the Game - Basic Style
To start, there should be some posturing. Glaring and general looks of toughness. You can give points for this if you want, but they should be unrelated to the game.
As previously mentioned, we played two-on-two. Three on three would be my ideal group, dependent on our field size. With a disc golf field, we could probably get up to five-on-five, but I think that would be pushing it.
The game, by the way, should be self-officiated. It's very hard to play, so you really should have fun whatever happens. Good Sportsmanship is key.
Flip a coin for possession and start in the middle of the field. The object of the game is to score more points than the other team. One goal is one point. Here are some main points of Basic Play:
1) Goals are scored by a solid hit on the goalpost. With golf cages, it's a bit easier. With posts, just brushing the side doesn't count. You need a good solid "thwack."
2) Goals must be scored on the move. In fact, the disc can only be thrown while riding, except on turnovers.
3) The disc must be caught while in motion as well.
4) If the disc is dropped, the other team gains possession. The thrower must restart the disc from a stationary position.
5) After a goal is scored, play begins from that goal. The scored-upon team gains possession.
6) This game if wholly non-contact.
7) The disc can be thrown in any direction.
8) There is a three second time limit on holding the disc.
Play for as long as you can or give the game a time limit. It's unpredictable how well a certain group will do since so much is dependent on your field of play and your equipment. Grab a group and go!
