That's actually some pretty sound logic, and I hope it gets the
attention of the overall UKUA community so that there's not needless
arguments in games about this rule (or lack of a rule).
As for having UKUA address the problem, I agree that it's WFDF that
needs to clarify the rule, but as UKUA is the governing body for UK
Ultimate, and seeing as we all play in the UK, it's up to UKUA (or
perhaps simply TDs of individual tournaments) to rearrirm rules. For
example, brick rules, timeout rules, cap rules and so on are usually
done by the TDs and perhaps the Competitions people.

Hi,
The rule isn't clear, but I think it's possible to explain
this situation using the existing WFDF rules.
Glossary
Marker: Defensive player guarding the thrower.
404.11 The Marker:
A. Guarding: At any time, only one defensive player may
guard the thrower. A player is said to be guarding the
thrower if he or she is within 3 m of the thrower's pivot
foot and is not within 3 m of any other member of the
offensive team.
I think that you'll agree that you can only guard when you
are within 3m. Importantly to be a marker you need to be
guarding the thrower.
If you go further than 3m you cease to be guarding the
thrower, and so by definition you are no longer a marker.
Again for stalling, you need to be a marker to stall, so
you need to be guarding the thrower.
