Never played Mini? Here’s how we’re working it:

• Played 4 on 4 on a smaller field
• Field is 30 yards long, 20 yards wide, plus 6 yard endzones
• Reduced stall count – starts at “Stalling 5”
• Play is continuous – when a team scores, they keep the disc, directions reverse and they try to score at the other end (“make it take it”)
• Scoring is +1 for a score or -1 for a turnover
• Game is over when a team reaches +3 (and wins) or -2 (other team wins)
• Winning team stays on and pulls to the next team – losing team subs out
• No subs! Keep playing until your team loses a round, then grab some rest while other teams duke it out (we will balance number of teams and fields to have reasonable amounts of rest between games)
• Otherwise, pretty much like regular ultimate… just smaller and quicker!
