RULES COMMITTEE

The Rules Committee will look to improve its current projects (Rules Keeper Position, Pre-Summer Rules Clinics, Player Resources like the forum and the rules@ocua.ca) and create new dynamic projects to help all OCUA members improve their knowledge and understanding of the rules, as well as their abilities to resolve rules conflicts on the field.

If you are interested in getting involved with the Rules Committee, please email us at rules@ocua.ca. 

Mission: The Rules Committee has the mission of being the guardians of the OCUA's specific rules, as well as implementing educational programs to help players learn and understand the rules of Ultimate.

Logistics: The Committee will meet 4-5 times a year and select projects it wants to work on. An OCUA staff or Board member will provide the Committee with a budget and the necessary support to be successful. OCUA will also officially recognize the hours served on this committee as part of the competitive volunteer hours agreement.
