WUF Rules Update

The following proposed rule changes and clarifications are now in committee at the World Ultimate Federation, WUF:

Large caliber handguns are not permitted on the field of play at any time.

Small caliber handguns (up to 9mm) are permitted, but must be in plain sight at all times.

While not strictly illegal, it is a violation of the spirit of the game to hold a handgun in one's dominant hand during play. The preferred technique is to hold one's handgun in one's non-dominant hand during play, freeing up the dominant hand for the disc.

Any accidental or semi-accidental weapons discharge during play is a foul. A player who commits a foul of this type should immediately call out "my bad", so play can resume promptly.

Exploding rounds are not permitted.

Any intentional weapon discharge is a violation of the spirit of the game, especially if the discharge was directed at a specific person, except if:

The shooter believes the shootee was running too fast, or
The shooter believes the shootee was jumping too high (or was about to), or
The shooter believes the shootee is/was too good looking, or
The shooter covets the spouse of the shootee.
