- On grass -
Play is 7-a-side.
However as substitutions may be made after every point, a team at a tournament will nearly always have many more than this - 16 is a common starting point but experience, fitness, standard & length of tournament and captain's/coach's preferences amongst many others will be factors.
- On sand / indoors -
Play is 5-a-side with squads averaging 10ish/15ish.
The area where a team gets a point is the endzone.
Ultimate frisbee
No, a safety does not get a team any points in Ultimate Frisbee. What happens is that the team that got the "safety" takes the point back to the edge of the goal zone and restarts play from there. If they score they get one point, and if they don't, then the opposing team gets the disc.
You can get a cheap frisbee at most sporting stores, for example, Dick's sporting goods. If you are actually on a team or go to an Ultimate Frisbee tournament, they will probably sell one there for about $10.
Ultimate Frisbee is a lot like football. There are two teams comprised of an equal number of players. The game is usually played on a football field so each team begins in their designated endzone (the field canbe shortened by determining the end zones as certain yard lines). One tea begins with the frisbee and yells out ULITMATE! before launching it to the other team (a lot like a kick off). Once a player of the other team has the frisbee they are only allowed to pivot on one leg (they're not permitted to take any steps) from here, they must throw the frisbee to another player on the team. This continues until a member of the team catches the frisbee in the end zone in which that team scores a point and the process starts over. However, if the frisbee is dropped it makes it an automatic recovery for the other team and the game continues, the same with an interception. If a frisbee is thrown out of bounds it is taken up by the other team from where it left the playing field. The game is over when a certain team has reached the designated amount of points (voted prior to the beginning of the game) or a team forfeits.
in a USAU (USA ultimate) magazine, Nequa Valley High School in Illinois was featured as the best team. (Although our team versed them, and they are cheaters and have bad spirit of the game)
University of Florida has a great team. National Champions a few times the past years.

A team advances the disc in ultimate frisbee by tossing the disc to a teammate. However, if the disc hits the ground it is a turnover. Also, you may never run with the disc in ultimate (the mythical "three steps rule" does not exist-you can slow to a stop if you're in a sprint to catch the disc).

Generally the time limit for throwing a Frisbee is 10 seconds. The person guarding the thrower must count out loud up to 10. When 10 is reached, the defending team gains possession.
