  1. Shouting (unless warning someone at risk of being struck by a disc),
  2. Cursing,
  3. Striking, kicking, or throwing park, course, or player equipment,
  4. Moving or talking while another player is throwing,
  5. Advancing beyond the away player; or,
4. Leave equipment where it may distract other players or interfere with a thrown disc; or,
5. Litter, including cigarette butts; or,
6. Allow their smoke to disturb other players.
A player must:
1. Perform actions expected by the rules, including:
  1. Helping to find a lost disc; and,
  2. Moving equipment when asked; and,
  3. Keeping score properly.
2. Watch the other members of the group throw in order to ensure rules compliance and to help find discs.
A player receives a warning for the first violation of any courtesy rule. Each subsequent violation of any courtesy rule by that player in the same round incurs one penalty throw. A courtesy violation may be called or confirmed by any affected player, or by an Official. Repeated courtesy violations may result in disqualification by the Director.
