[edit] Marking questions

1. A receiver catches a disc in the middle of the field. The marker can begin the stall count:

As soon as the receiver catches the disc, no matter where the marker is
As soon as the receiver catches the disc and the marker is within 3 metres of their pivot point, or of the receiver if they do not yet have a pivot established
As soon as the receiver catches the disc and establishes a pivot, and the marker is in 5 metres of that pivot
As soon as the receiver catches the disc and establishes a pivot, and the marker is in 3 metres of that pivot
→see XIV.A. 2."Only the marker (II.K) may initiate or continue a stall count, and may do so anytime a thrower has possession of a disc that is live or in play. However, directly after a turnover or when putting the pull into play the stall may not be initiated before a pivot is established, unless delay of game or pre-stall rules (XIII.A.3, XIII.A.4, XIII.A.5 or VI.B.5.d) apply."

2. Which of the following describes a legal stall count (each “…” is a one second pause):

a) Stalling one… two… three…
b) One…Two… Three
c) Stalling… one… two… three…
d) Stall one, stall two, stall three
Both a) and c) are legal, but the pause after “stalling” is not needed
→see XIV.A.1.a) and b):

3. A marker, player A, is nearing the end of the count with the thrower, player B, still in possession. The marker counts “eight... nine… ten! Stall!” The thrower releases the disc in the middle of the word “ten”, and it is caught by another offensive player, player C. The outcome of the play is:

a) Player C keeps possession with no stoppage, play on
b) Turnover, stoppage of play, defence takes possession at point where player B threw the disc
c) Stoppage of play, but player C keeps possession, play restarts after a check
d) Stoppage of play, back to player B, play resumes after a check with a stall count of 8
e) Depends if the stall is contested: b ) if uncontested and d) if contested
f) Depends if the stall is contested: b ) if uncontested and c) if contested
→see XIV.A.3: “If the thrower has not released the disc at the first utterance of the word “ten,” it is a turnover. The marker loudly announces “stall” and play stops. A stall is not a violation and rule XVI.C does not apply.”

4. A marker, player A, is nearing the end of the count with the thrower, player B, still in possession. The marker counts “eight... nine… Stall!” The thrower releases the disc following the word “stall” and it is caught by another offensive player, player C. The correct outcome is:

a) Player C keeps possession with no stoppage, play on
b) Turnover, stoppage of play, defence takes possession at point where player B threw the disc
c) Stoppage of play, but player C keeps possession, play restarts after a check
d) Stoppage of play, back to player B, play resumes after a check with a stall count of 8
e) Depends if the stall is contested: b ) if uncontested and d) if contested
f) Depends if the stall is contested: b ) if uncontested and c) if contested
→see XIV.A.3. The thrower must release the disc before the first utterance of the word “ten”; in this case “ten” is never said, so there is no stall, play on. The marker may mistakenly believe they have correctly called a stall, which would result in a disagreement that stops play; in this case the play would likely be resolved as in c), though a) is still the most correct outcome.

5. A marker, player A, is nearing the end of the count with the thrower, player B, still in possession. The marker counts “eight... nine… ten! Stall!” The thrower releases the disc just as the marker says “ten!”. The thrower thinks they got the throw off before the start of the word “ten” but the marker disagrees. The outcome of the play is:

a) Player C keeps possession with no stoppage, play on
b) Turnover, stoppage of play, defence takes possession at point where player B threw the disc
c) Stoppage of play, but player C keeps possession, play restarts after a check
d) Stoppage of play, back to player B, play resumes after a check with a stall count of 8
→ see XIV.A.3.b) (resolution of a contested stall count, as above)

6. A marker, player A, is nearing the end of the count with the thrower, player B, still in possession. The marker counts “eight... nine… ten! Stall!” The thrower releases the disc following the end of the word “ten” but the disc falls incomplete. The thrower agrees that the throw followed the word “ten”. The outcome of the play is:

a) Defence takes the disc where it lies with no stoppage, play on
b) Turnover, stoppage of play, defence takes possession at point where player B threw the disc
c) Defence takes the disc back to where it was thrown and puts it into play without a stoppage
→ XIV.A.3 indicates “A stall is not a violation and rule XVI.C [i.e., the continuation rule] does not apply.” Thus the outcome of the pass is irrelevant, the disc is dead at the time of the call. The play is resumed as per XIV.A.3.a):”The marker calling the stall takes possession of the disc where the stall occurred and then may either:

7. Which of the following are marking violations:

a) Fast count and double team
b) Fast count, double team, disc space, and vision blocking
c) Double team, straddling, and fast count
d) Disc space and straddling
e) Fast count, double team, counting too loud
→see XIV.B.5.:”Fast count, double team, disc space, and vision blocking are marking violations.”

8. When a marking violation is called by name:

play does not stop, the marker corrects the violation if needed and resumes the count at a number one less than the last number reached
play stops and the marker resumes the count at a number one less than the last number reached, after a check
play does not stop, the marker corrects the violation if needed and resumes the count at a number two less than the last number reached
play stops and the marker resumes the count at a number two less than the last number reached, after a check
play does not stop but the marker must restart the count at one and correct the violation if needed
play stops, the marker resumes the count after a check with the count at one if uncontested, or the count reached plus one (or 6 if over 5) if the call is contested
→see XIV.B 7.:”When a marking violation is called, play does not stop. The violation must be corrected before the marker can resume the stall count with the number last uttered before the call minus one (e.g. “stalling one…two.. ‘fast count’ ..one…two…”).”

9. A defender is marking a thrower and the thrower calls “fast count”. The marker makes the correct adjustment to the count but in the same count, the thrower calls “disc space”. The result is:

a) nothing, disc space is not a call
b) play stops and there is a check before play resumes, the marker restarts the count at one
c) play does not stop, the marker backs up and resumes the count at one less than the last number reached
d) play stops and there is a check before play resumes, the marker restarts the count at the count last reached, plus one (or 6 if over 5)
e) play does not stop, the marker backs up and resumes the count at two less than the last number reached
f) b) if the marker does not contest, or e) if the marker contests the second call
→see XIV.B 8. “If a marker commits a marking violation after being called for a marking violation during the same stall count (XIV.A.1) but before the thrower is in the act of throwing, the thrower may choose to either call another marking violation or to treat the marking violation as a general defensive violation (XVI). To treat it as a general violation, the thrower must call “violation.””

10. A defender is marking a thrower and the thrower calls “fast count”. The marker does not correctly adjust the count and the thrower calls “violation”. The result is:

a) play does not stop but the marker must start the count over at one
b) play stops and there is a check before play resumes, the marker restarts the count at one
c) play does not stop, the marker resumes the count at one less than the last number reached
d) play stops and there is a check before play resumes, the marker restarts the count at the count last reached, plus one (or 6 if over 5)
e) play does not stop, the marker resumes the count at two less than the last number reached
f) b) if the marker does not contest, or d) if the marker contests the second call
→see XIV.B.8. (as above). In this case the call is “violation”; as a general violation, this stops play (see section XVI)

11. A defender is marking a thrower and deliberately puts one hand two inches in front of the thrower’s eyes so they cannot see downfield. The marker is not physically touching the thrower. The thrower can call:

a) no call, it is a legal marking technique
b) disc space
c) foul
d) vision blocking
e) b) or d), both are being violated
→see XIV.B.4 “Vision blocking: If the marker deliberately blocks the thrower's vision, it is a vision blocking violation.” The marker’s hand is less than a disc space from the thrower’s head, but the disc space rule only applies to the thrower’s torso and pivot (XIV.B.3), so this may not be being violated.

12. A defender is marking a thrower with their torsos slightly more than one disc diameter apart. The marker’s feet are spread out on either side of the thrower’s pivot such that the pivot is between the two feet, but each foot is slightly more than a disc diameter from the pivot itself. Is this mark legal and if not what is the call?

yes, it is a legal mark
no, the thrower may call “straddling”
no, the thrower may call “disc space”
no, the thrower may call “foul”
→see XIV.B.3 “Disc-space: If a line between any two points on the marker touches the thrower or is less than one disc diameter away from the torso or pivot of the thrower, it is a disc space violation. However, if this situation is caused solely by movement of the thrower, it is not a violation.” As a line between the marker’s feet intersects the thrower’s pivot, it is clearly a disc space violation and may be called as such. As there is no contact it is not a foul; however if (non-incidental) contact results from this illegal position it is automatically a foul on the marker (XVI.H.3.a)(3).
