NOTE:

 

This year we will have out-of-bounds.   Landing out-of- bounds will result in a zero score for the round.  We have had flyers land a long ways from the landing area and near Friant Road.  This decision is reluctantly made but Friant Road is scheduled to be rebuilt as a 4 lane road.  We need to protect our field.  The in-bounds area is defined as the portion of the field within the berm and the turnarounds.
