Hello Gobies, This Weekly Wisdom is a continuation from last week's on fouls and violations. You now know what a foul is and when to call it. We will look at what happens after the foul is called. It's long, but take all week to read it if you need too. When a foul is called during a play, DON'T STOP. Go after the disc, make the d, catch the score, just keep going. "I thought I heard call" is not a lame excuse when you get schooled. A player's ability to catch or make a
play on the disc is not considered to be When a violation or infraction is
called, the Continuation Rule applies. The Continuation Rule states that
play stops when the thrower in possession of the disc recognizes and
acknowledges a call has been made. If the call is made when the disc is
in the air, the thrower is in the process of throwing or the thrower
fails to acknowledge a call has been made, play continues until the
outcome of the pass is determined. If a disc goes up, go after it. This
is why it is important to make your calls loudly. "foul" won't stop any play, but "FOUL" should get the throwers attention.
After the disc goes up, play either stops or continues based on the
guidelines below. affectedbecause that player stopped, slowed down, or otherwise ceased to continue playing because a call was made by another player. Players are encouraged to make every effort to continue playing until play actually stops. (XVI.K) If the call is made by the thrower... and the infraction occurred before the thrower was in the act of
throwing... 1.If the pass is
complete: play stops and the disc goes back to the thrower 2. If the pass is incomplete: play continues un-halted, players should announce "play-on," it's a turn and the infraction occurred
while in the thrower is in the act of throwing... If the call is made by a non-thrower...1. If that pass is complete: play continues
un-halted, players should announce "play-on" and the infraction occurred after the disc was
thrown...2. If the pass is incomplete: play stops and the disc goes back to the thrower the call is considered to
be made by a non-thrower. and if the team that has possession called
the infraction... This is all from section XVI of the 11th Ed. It's a good section to read. 1. If the call was
made before the thrower began the act of throwing, play stops and the
possession reverts to the thrower and if the team
that has possession committed the infraction...2. If the offense made the call after the thrower began the act of throwing, play continues un-halted, players should announce "play-on" 1. If the infraction effected the play,
like someone who picked off their defender gets the disc, the disc
returns to the thrower 2. If the infraction did not effect the play, like someone got picked off but the disc was thrown to someone else, play is stopped, but the play stands |
