About Wind-Up

One day. One community. Pure Ultimate Frisbee.

🏆

The Tournament

The 4th Annual Wind-Up is a 5v5 mixed HAT tournament — meaning you register as an individual and we place you on a team. Beginner-friendly by design, competitive by spirit.

🎯

The Format

Windmill-style pick-up tournament. Come solo, get placed on a balanced team, meet new people, and play pure Ultimate. No experience needed — just good vibes and a willingness to run.

🌍

The Mission

Wind-Up helps fund Wits Ultimate's national tournaments. Every game you play helps the club travel and compete. Play hard. Help the club grow.

🔁

The Legacy

Wind-Up is a proud rebrand of the legendary Binnelanders tournament. Same roots. Same love for the disc. Bigger energy. Come be part of the story.

5v5 Ultimate Rules

A quick guide to the essentials. Full WFDF rules apply.

01

The Field

A rectangular field with two end zones. The disc is advanced into the defending end zone to score. Wind-Up plays on Bozzoli B Fields.

02

Scoring

A point is scored when a player catches a pass in the opponent's end zone. After a score, teams switch directions and play to 7 (or time cap).

03

No Running with the Disc

The player holding the disc (the "thrower") cannot run. They have a stall count of 10 seconds to throw — counted aloud by a marker.

04

Turnovers

Possession changes on incomplete passes (out of bounds, dropped, blocked, stalled). The opponent takes the disc where it lands.

05

Spirit of the Game

Ultimate is self-refereed. Players are responsible for fair, respectful play. Spirit of the Game is the heart of Ultimate — call it clean, argue it respectfully.

06

5v5 Mixed Format

Teams must have at least 2 players of each gender on the field at all times. This is a beginner-friendly HAT format — everyone gets game time.

07

Contact

Ultimate is a non-contact sport. Picks, screens, and deliberate contact are fouls. Call fouls calmly and resolve disputes with Spirit.

08

The Pull

Each point starts with a "pull" — a kick-off throw from the defending team. All players must be at their end zone line until the pull is released.
