If a game has to be suspended because of weather, lack of light, or other issues, use the following guidelines for resuming play at a later time.
- Communicate clearly to the captains of both teams, as early as possible, that the game is going to be suspended.
- Communicate clearly to the captains of both teams, as early as possible, when and where the game is to be resumed. Take the captains’ input into consideration when rescheduling the game.
- Treat the suspended game as if it is an official "timeout"
- Same players are on the field.
- Players may reset position on the field.
- Disc should be in the same place as when the game was suspended.
- Players who were on the field that are unable to participate in the make-up game should be treated as injury subs, with the other team getting a matched number of substitutes.
- Coordinators should try to replicate field conditions (e.g. wind advantage) as much as is possible and practical before restarting play.
- Per the USA Ultimate competition guidelines, games must be played to 11 points and 60 minutes in length at a minimum. Games that are suspended due to inclement weather or other unavoidable reason can only be counted if a team has reached at least half the minimum point total or half the minimum game length.
- Be sure to contact your National Director as soon as you anticipate the possibility of a game being suspended.
