Ultimate Variants

Normally, Ultimate is played 7 against 7 by the Ultimate Players Association (UPA) rules, on a dimension regulated field.  In most cases, it is the official variant of play adopted by the AUM.  However, Ultimate is a sport that can easily be adapted to different contraints: lack of space, number of players, physical capacities...  Here are some examples of variants played in the AUM.

 5 on 5

Really popular amongst AUM members, this variant has been created in order to play indoors, on a smaller field space.  We play 5 on 5 (usually 3 men, 2 women).  The switches are done on the fly and the stall count is reduced from 10 to 8, making the game faster.

 4 on 4

All around Quebec, there are 4 on 4 tournaments, which are part of the Circuit Québécois de Ultimate 4 contre 4 (CQU4).  The field is smaller than with 5 on 5, using only 4 players (3 men and 1 women or 2 men and 2 woman, the offensive team chooses and the defensive team matches).  The first tournament of 4 on 4 in Montreal was held last March, the Tournoi Montréal en Mars (M&M).
