the clock stops because football is based on downs so if there was no way to stop the clock other than a time out the game would move too fast and would be far less exciting

Live Ball Becomes Dead

ARTICLE 2. a. A live ball becomes a dead ball as provided in the rules or when an official sounds his whistle (even though inadvertently) or otherwise signals the ball dead (A.R. 4-2-1-II and A.R. 4-2-4-I)."

THE RULE BOOK FURTHER STATES


Ball Declared Dead

ARTICLE 3. A live ball becomes dead and an official shall sound his whistle or declare it dead:


When it goes out of bounds other than a kick that scores a field goal

after touching the uprights or crossbar

when a ball carrier is out of bounds


when a ball carrier is so held that his forward progress is stopped.

When in question, the ball is dead (A.R. 4-2-1-II)."

What is considered out of bounds in ultimate frisbee?

Just like in any other sport, there are boundaries around the field. However, if the disc flies past the boundaries, it is not necessarily out of bounds yet. Quality players curve the disc out of bounds and back in and, if caught in bounds, is still considered in and good. If a player jumps from in bounds and catches and throws the disc in play, before he hits the ground, that is considered in and good (this is commonly known as "the greatest" due to its difficulty to accomplish). Once the disc hits the ground out of play or a player catches the disc out of bounds, it is considered a dead disc. Also recognize that if the disc hits the ground, in the field or past the boundaries, it is a turnover and the other team picks up the disc.
