| Here is a little trivia question to see who can come up with the correct answer the fastest. If an offensive player goes out of bounds to retrieve a disc lying on the ground and in the process of walking back to the field drops the disc is it a turnover? Good luck |
|
|
|
If he is retrieving a disc that is out of play, before it comes back into play doesnt he have to tap the disc in play or have the opposing team tap it in before play resumes?
Thats my best guess....  |
|
|
|
| S/He does have to tap it in before play resumes but the question here is what happens if bringing it back to the line the player actually drops it. Is it a turnover? |
|
|
|
| I am gonna say yes.. as i have done it before. :-\ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whoohoo!!! What do i win!?!  |
|
|
|
| Only if he is inbounds when the disc is dropped. Until he steps back in bounds and checks the disc it is not in play and thus a turnover cannot be made. |

Is Kevin Slacking on the RUles Trivia!?!?!
FIRED!!! |
|
|
|
I have indeed been slacking. Here is a new one for you that might come up this season.
If during regular play, the defence catch the disc in their own endzone, do they have to play it where they caught it or can they walk it up to the goal line? Search the rules and lets see who can answer this one first. |
|
|
|
I'm too lazy to check the rulez, so here's my un-edumucated guess...
If you catch the disc in the endzone and immediately start walking to the front of your endzone, you can check the disc in at the line. If you catch the disc and immediately plant a pivot foot, you must play it from where you caught it.
Am I close?

That's correct Alex. Here is another one for everyone.
If an offensive player catches the disc on the front goal line of the opposing team's endzone are they in?
Good luck everyone. |
|
|
|
| As far as I know, the endzone line is much like the side line or back of the endzone. You must be across the line fully in order for the point to count. "CHECK FEET!"...hahaha |

Here is one for everyone. This happens ALOT in some games and at practice.. Whats the cal!?!?!
Cup is covering the handler on the throw.. The handler then PIVOTS into the CUP hitting the cup back then throwing the disc!!!!  Is this a Foul?! Is it on the Cup or the Handler!??! Or should everyone come together for a group hug!? |
|
|
|
group hug! GROUUUUP HUUUG!!!! Actually any contact with the handler is considered a foul. It's not the job of the cup to make contact with the handler. If contact is made, the foul is to whoever made contact first. If the handler made contact with the cup, hopefully it's the marker. Otherwise the handler has all right to call a double team!...haha. Either way, the contest rule is always there to simply cancel out all fouls and arguments and restart the play. Oh those crazy ultimate rule makers!!! Alright everybody....GROUP HUG!!

In the case of a cup and handler making contact, what is the result if:
a) the foul is on the cup for making contact with the handler?
b) the foul is on the handler for making contact with the cup? |

a. Foul is called.. If the disc is knocked down due to the cup its back to the handler. If the handler makes a throw and there is a foul called but they catch the disc, you play on.
b. Handler hits the cup its a turn over. Very rare. Least i have only seen once since i have played(excluding practices) |

I got a GOOD one!!! This has come up SEVERAL times in games and practices and each time there is a different answer to this question..
DELAY OF GAME
When Can you call it?
What are the rules when calling it and how do you proceed with it?
How can you stop it from happening again?
First person who gets this right will get a Prize!! I donno what but something!
Sorry Kevin. Your not included in this one as we had a good discussion about this last sunday.. |

I WIN! I WIN!...YOU didnt win, and YOU didnt win..but IIIIIIIII WIN! Uh, what did I win? (it's from a steak commercial with the cow dancin' around...you know...aw geeez, now I sound like a jack ass)
SO! here is the rule on "Delay of Game" as I know it. If a defensive player is within three meters of the pivot foot
of the thrower he/she must indicate that they are calling a "Delay of Game". The best way I think is just to yell it at the top of your lungs! Once the thower hears this, the defensive player may touch the disc and proceed to initiate a stall count. I have also heard rumour, though not nessessary, it is good spirit to count down from 10 before you check the disc in play. (But! No one ever said how fast you can count from 10) It's a courtesy call, so count as fast as you want.
You must remember that this is a self officiated game, and that unless the handler is wasting time in a close game, or to shift momentum, it's a silly call. Poor spirit I say. So don't abuse the call, and play with spirit!!
OH! the handler must be within three meters of the disc in order to call delay of game. So if he/she is within 9 feet of the disc and they stop to tie their cleats, or stops to direct the team, waste time and the game is running out of time...CALL IT!!! (make sure they havnt called an equipment time out or time out in general..haha!)
Happy Hunting!

Congrats Dicki!!!!!!!
Delay of game is RARLEY called in Game.. Best way around it is get the Captians to butt heads and let the teams know not to delay with the disc. After that it shoudl go smooth.
If it DOES happen. there is a count down from 10 to 0 then start counting your stalls.. Basically giving them 20 sec to get ready and play the disc.
Remember this isnt very sportsman like and you WILL loose spirit points for this!!
Dicki - Your Prize!!!! COme see my 5pm at Field 4 or 7pm on field 3! Ill have a prize for you.. Maybe its a Hug! Maybe its a Group Hug!? WHo KNows! Find the Dude in the Ugly Yellow Shorts to claim your Prize!!! |

Okay here we go!
So here is the scenario: The handler is trapped on the line and throws an outside-in flick that goes straight out of bounds, and does not come back in. The defensive player catches or knocks down the disc while out of bounds 40 yards down field. Where does the disc get checked in? (Where does the play continue?)

40 yards downfield. If it wasn't coming back in, the defensive player shouldn't have touched it!

If the defensive player catches or knocks the disc out of bounds then they play it from where they caught/knocked the disc at the line, but if they just left it alone they would bring it back 40 yards up field to where it went out of bounds. Sometimes it’s just better to leave it alone.  |
|
|
|
| Yes Carrie, sometimes it is better to just leave it alone, however, if someone were to jump out of bounds, and while still in the air, catch it and throw it to someone on the field, then you might wish you went out and knocked it down. |
