- Six on six. Only one leader on the field at a time for each team.
- Games will be played in two 5 minute halves.
- If the score is tied at the end of the second half, there will be a sudden death overtime period that will last for 3 minutes. The first team that scores wins the match.
- If the game is still tied after the 3-minute overtime period, one player from each team (not a leader) will throw a frisbee as far as they can. The team with the farthest throw wins the match.
- If the frisbee goes out of bounds, the other team will throw it in from the spot where it went out.
- Once a team scores, they will walk to the other end and “kick-off,” throwing it to the other team.
- If the disc lands out the back or side of the end zone, the other team brings it out to any spot on the goal line and begins their possession.
- You may not take more than two steps with the frisbee before stopping and throwing it.
- If a disc is caught simultaneously by an offensive and defensive player, the offensive player retains possession.

Rules:
Where: Fields below dining hall
Rules:
- Six on six. Only one leader on the field at a time for each team.
- Games will be played in two 5 minute halves.
- There will be no goalkeepers in this game. Each team may place someone near the goal to defend it, but they must stand outside of the semi-circle drawn around the goal. And they may not use their hands.
- If the score is tied at the end of the second half, there will be a sudden death overtime period that will last for 3 minutes. First team that scores wins the match.
- If the game is still tied after the three minute overtime, there will be a shootout from midfield with no goalie. Each team will choose six players to take turns kicking from midfield into the goal. The team with the most goals wins.
- If it’s still tied after all six players have kicked, both teams will wrestle each other for dominance. Just kidding. If it’s still tied after that, we start at the top of the lineup and continue rotating midfield penalty shots until one person makes and the other misses.
- Teams will be instructed to referee themselves.

Where: Courts by the fields.
Rules:
- Six on six. Only one leader on the court at a time for each team.
- Games will be played to 25 by rally scoring (every rally results in a point, regardless of which team served), win by 2. The next point wins if the game is still tied at 29-29.
- As in standard volleyball, it's in if the ball hits the line. It is only out if it lands entirely outside the boundary.
- Teams will be instructed to referee themselves on all calls (except in the championship game, where interns will make boundary calls and nothing else). Carries and net touches should be called loosely. If it’s so bad that it disrupts the game, call it. If it’s small and not very significant, play on. Use good judgment, and be gracious to each other.
- A representative from each team will play one game of rock, paper, scissors to see who gets to serve first.
