Santa’s Hat Rules of Play

Standard Ultimate rules of play will apply except there will be some way to earn extra points when you score. Only one of these special rules are in play for any point – no combining for mega scores.
Example: You can score two (2) points from a Naughty OR a successful Christmas Tree point. You will not get four (4) points for a Naughty score during the pre-called Christmas Tree point.

• Christmas Tree – Each team gets one (1) Christmas Tree point per game. Nominate you're playing your "Christmas Tree" before the start of the point and if your team scores then that goal is worth two (2) points.
• Rudolph – Each team gets one (1) Rudolph point per game. Nominate the player on your team (before the point starting) who will be Rudolph for that point and if your designated Rudolph catches the score then that goal is worth two (2) points.
• Santa’s Helper – Each team gets one (1) Santa’s Helper point per game. Nominate the player on your team (before the point starting) who will be the thrower for that point and if your Santa’s Helper throws the score then that goal is worth two (2) points.
• Mistletoe – Each team gets one (1) Mistletoe point per game. Call “Mistletoe” before the point starting and then whichever team scores the goal (that’s right, it could be the opposition) then that goal is worth two (2) points.
• The Naughty – any goal scored from an official upside-down throw is worth two (2) points. Valid all game, official upside-down throws included are a Hammer or a Scooba.
• The Nice – when each member from your team touches the disc (throw or catch) within the same single possession within a point is worth two (2) points. If there is a turnover you must start the chain of contact again. Valid all game.
