Which statement best reflects the rule about intentional contact?

• A. Intentional contact is allowed during defensive stands.
• B. Intentional contact is required to create turnovers.
• C. Intentional contact is not allowed; the game is non-contact.
• D. Intentional contact is allowed if both teams agree.

Answer: (C)

Ultimate Frisbee is a non-contact sport, so players are required to avoid intentional contact with others. If someone tries to push, shove, or collide with an opponent on purpose, that is a foul and play stops. The game is won or lost through passes, stalls, interceptions, drops, or similar non-contact events, not because someone used contact to create an advantage. There is no scenario in which players or teams can consent to allow intentional contact—that would still be considered a foul. Incidental contact can happen, but intentional contact is not allowed, which is why the statement describing the game as non-contact best reflects the rule.
