404.15 Officials:
(A)
Definition: A number of non-playing
officials may be involved in a game of
ultimate. Such officials include
time-keepers, score-keepers and
observers. Their role is to assist the
teams, not to enforce the rules. A single
person may perform multiple official
duties.
(B)
Time-keeper. A single time-keeper may be
appointed to signal time elapsed between
points, during time-outs and to signal
the start or end of a playing period.
(C)
Score-keeper. A single score-keeper may
be appointed to keep score and indicate
to the captains the completion of a half,
the game, the number of time-outs used or
remaining, or the fact that the game has
gone into overtime.
(D)
Observers.
At their discretion, the
captains may agree upon up to six
experienced individuals, who are
not participating in the game, to
act as observers. The duty of the
observer is to carefully watch
the action of the game for the
sole purpose of rendering a
decision in the event of a
dispute that cannot be resolved.
Observers shall remain passive
and shall not make any calls on
their own initiative.
When a dispute arises which
cannot be resolved by the players
involved or their captains, the
observers may be called upon by
the captains to make the call.
The observer with the best view
of the play makes the call. If
the observers so choose, they may
discuss the play among themselves
before rendering a decision.
By calling in the
observers, the teams agree to
abide by the observers' decision.
(E)
Sanctioned Events: Score-keepers and
time-keepers shall be mandatory at all
WFDF-sanctioned events.
