is scored, the teams switch direction of their attack, and the team which scored throws-off on the signal of the receiving team. 7. The Play a. The team, which has possession of the disc, must attempt to move the disc into position so that they may score a goal. A player may propel the disc in any way he wishes. The Frisbee may never be handed from player to player. In order for the disc to go from one player to another, it must at some time be in the air. b. No player may walk, run or take steps while in possession of the disc. The momentum of the receiver, however, must be taken into consideration. Should a player take steps obviously not required to stop, play stops and he returns to the point where he gained possession and play resumes when both teams are ready. c. The player in possession may pivot on one foot, as in basketball. The thrower may not change his pivot foot. Only one player may guard the person in possession of the disc. The disc may not be wrenched from the grasp of an opposing player or knocked from his or her hand. d.

Possession is gained at the point where the disc is stopped. Any member of the team gaining possession of the disc may throw it. e. A player may catch his own throw if the disc has been touched by another player during its flight. Bobbing to gain control is permitted, but tipping to oneself is not allowed. 8. Any time a team gains possession in the end zone which they are defending, the player may choose to resume play where the disc is stopped or at the goal line. A player may carry the disc up to the goal line provided that he or she approaches it perpendicularly. The player may not pass the disc as he or she approaches the goal line. If a team gains possession in the end zone, which it is attacking, the disc is carried perpendicularly to the goal line and play resumes immediately from the goal line. 9. Fouls: a. Only the player fouled calls a throwing foul. It is defined as any physical contact between offensive and defensive player sufficient to deter the flight of the disc. Contact occurring during the follow-through is not sufficient grounds for a foul. If the pass is completed, the foul is automatically declined, and play proceeds without stopping. b. A foul is also called when any physical contact occurs as a result of the offensive or defensive players playing the man instead of the disc. This includes pushing, grabbing, clipping, holding, kicking, submarining, etc. c. The player who is fouled calls foul, play stops and the player gains possession at the point of the infraction. Play continues when both teams are ready. Should a foul occur in the end zone, possession is regained at the goal line. d. A stalling violation occurs when the player guarding the thrower calls out stalling and counts aloud 10 seconds. If the disc has not been released at the end of the
