"Pants needed for Frisbee, board rules"
May 02, 2009 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, ORE.
In the world of intercollegiate Ultimate Frisbee, it's ultimately not cool to go without pants.
So says a student board that governs club sports at the University of Oregon. The board ended a highly ranked team's season after five players shed their pants and underwear April 11 during sectional play at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
Now the team, known as EGO (Eugene Gentlemen's Organization) is crying foul.
"We put on the longest shirts we had,'' pleaded team member Kevin Minderhout.
Sandie Hammerly, executive director of the sport's governing body in the U. S., said she and the association's championship director support the punishment.
"You have to wear clothing -- it's in the rules,'' Hammerly said.

Relevant Rule:
IV.D.
Each player must wear a uniform or other clothing distinguishing that player from players on the other team. In tournament play, matching uniforms and numbered jerseys are recommended.
But depending on the 'scope' of the players one could argue for this one as well.
IV.E
Players may not use clothing or equipment to unfairly inhibit or assist the movement of the disc or another player
What about naked points? I'm
What about naked points? I'm sure there is a rule for those too.
No naked points for you!
Rule XVIII.c.22.4(b)(iv)(4): Scott Boettger may not be naked within 20 kms of any Ultimate game.
Unless
Unless I am personally also 20 KM from said Ultimate game.
