[BD] New Ultimate Rules (11th Ed)

[nick.maynard at yahoo.co.uk]

Those are UPA rules and are used in America. We use the WFDF rules which are also being updates and should have been announced at the start of the year. I don't know if this has actually happened (I've not heard anything and Britdisc has been down for a while), but you can check out one of the more recent drafts here: http://wfdf.org/rules/20061201_WFDF_2007_Rules.pdf .
There are no competitions in this country where the UPA rules apply, but you will be amazed at the number of people who will quote them as 'the rules'. In many cases the UPA have narrowed definitions and made things a little more black and white. It is hoped the WFDF update will do the same, but there tends to be more of an emphasis on spirit rather than creating an iron clad set of rules (which would then require a referee to enforce fairly).

Hope that helps (and can anyone give an update on the progress of the new WFDF rules?),

 Hey guys,
 
Wondered if you'd seen this.... Any thoughts on the new rules? I like the new section on marking violations - makes it much clearer!
