The MLB Playoffs are in full swing, so what better way to honor America's past time than to hybridize it with Ultimate.
Rules of Ultibase
> Teams of 4-6.
> Played on a baseball diamond.
> 3 outs, change sides, all normal baseball rules apply (force outs, fly balls, etc).
The differences…
Pitching: There is no pitcher, only a batter.
Batting: One foot on home plate, disc in hand, throwing the disc into the field of play is the equivalent of hitting it. Throw whatever throw you want.
Running: You can’t start running (from base to base or leave home plate) until the disc hits fair territory.
Foul balls: Along with the normal foul territory, the foul territory extends into the infield. With diamonds with infield grass, the grass is foul. With diamonds w/o infield grass, a line should drawn in the dirt where the grass would be (~5 or so feet in from the imaginary line that goes from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd).
With more than 6 players, multiple smaller teams can be made (i.e. 3 teams of 3, 4 teams of 3), with more than one team in the field together (not more than 6 players in the field at one time), and possibly a team waiting to bat.
