You can read more about the rules here (two exceptions are described below): https://www.ocua.ca/4x4-rules

These rules are used by Ultimate Canada in the National Indoor Championships with two notable exceptions, which were amended in the Canadian 4's Ultimate Championships tournament manual: 

1. The gender ratio will stay at 2:2 for the duration of the game. Offense does not have the option to set 3:1 on any point, UNLESS it has been discussed and agreed upon between coaches prior to the game starting.

2. The Contact Call is in effect. A description can be found here:
