*These rules are generic based on previous tournaments and are subject to change. Any changes in format or rules will be announced prior to the start of the tournament.

Hammer Option

• Initial “hammer” option will be determined by a one round “finger shoot” or disc flip
• Subsequent “hammer” option goes to the losing team of the preceding game (playoffs only)

Release Rule

• Players may throw from either side, but the release of the disc must occur from behind the goal
• Enforcement of the release rule is the responsibility of each team
• Ladies and kids 12 and under may throw from a designated line 10 feet closer to their partner
• Physically challenged players may be offered individual accommodations
  

Deflection Rule

• When fielding a partner’s throw, the deflector may not carry or control the disc in any way
• No points will be awarded if a deflector double-hits, catches, or carries the disc
• Enforcement of the deflection rule is the responsibility of each team

Flying Discs

• Only flying discs provided at the tournament will be used; no outside discs are allowed in tournament play
• Teams are asked to keep flying discs at their respective courts upon completion of tournament games
• Only one flying disc will be used in each game

Regular Season Play

• Each team will play every other team in their division in a regular season “scramble”
• Regular season “scramble” games will be played to 11/15/21 points (subject to change based on number of total teams - all other official KanJam rules apply)
• Teams are encouraged to move along in continuous play
• Upon completion of the “scramble” round, teams will be ranked on a basis of total wins
• Teams with equal number of wins will be ranked based on head-to-head play
• In the event that head-to-head play cannot determine rank, a three-round total points shoot-out will be held between tied teams
• The top 12/16 teams from each division will qualify for the playoffs (subject to change based on number of total teams)

Playoffs (exact format TBD based on # of teams)

• All playoff games will be played to regulation 21 points
• Top seed plays bottom seed, etc., throughout the playoffs
• The number of “bye” teams for the first round (if any) will be determined based on # of teams
• First three rounds are best of 3/5 series (based on time restraints)
• All remaining playoff matches will be best of 7 game series
