These are draft rules. I'm on the WFDF ultimate committee and (hopefully) will know pretty quickly when they are ratified! The UKUA will adopt the WFDF rules as soon as they are ratified. I have asked about whether there will be a version of the document that highlights the differences between old and new editions of the rules. I think this is being worked on - but the document has changed quite a bit, so I'm not sure if this will help. I also received the following response to my question: **************************************************************************** ****************** In general there are minimal actual rule changes. The focus of this revision was to make current rules more clear, reduce the repetition of rules and create a better format. In some cases, sections have been revised (Out of Bounds) but the end result is the same rules, but stated in a better way. Major changes are: 1. Introduction of a "Callahan" point, when the Defense intercepts a pass from the Offence in the End Zone they are currently scoring in. 2. When the Offense commits an uncontested foul/violation (i.e. travel, thrower fouls marker) the count stays where it was at the time of the foul or comes in on 9, (if the count was at 9 or above) rather than coming in on 6 if the count was at 6 or above. 3. Pick rule has been adjusted a bit to add a distance between the reciever and marker (5 Meters) for when a pick can be called. **************************************************************************** ******************* > Q2: with reference to the thread at > http://londonultimate.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=711#711 - are > there still things missing from (section 19) these new rules? I'll get back to you on that one. Si Ps - Have you seen the new website? www.ukultimate.com Please re-register for a user account, and please add your team details.
