*MY* Interpretation: 1. Who can call a double team? An opponent of mine told me i couldn't call
it for my teammate, but if a non-marker can call a travel ( i.e. a throwing violation), it doesn't seem to make sense to me that a non-thrower can't call a marking violation. Does this apply to other marking violations- e.g. straddling or vision? Can one call a marker foul for one's teammate- say they're a beginner and don't call it if they get taken out mid-stall? Evidently, the thrower often has the best vision of a marker foul/violation, but it's quite concievable that one could occasionally have better vision than the thrower, e.g. of a double team on a thrower looking upfield when standing behind them for the dump, as happened to me at MT.
17.3.1.5. "Double Team" - more than one defensive player is within three (3) meters of the thrower's pivot point when no other offensive player is within three (3) meters of either defensive player 17.3.2. A marking violation may be contested by the defense, in which case play stops. As the rules distinguish between the defence and the marker, I take that to mean anyone can call double team. I'm not sure about sideline defenders - perhaps that's what some would describe as a spirit violation? 2. Slightly more unusual situation, but in the final, i saw a handler
receive a disc near the edge of the pitch. He caught it easily in-bounds, but his momentum carried him such that his pivot foot was on the line. He then sent a beautiful huck, and no call was made. Is he obliged to a) bring his foot back in bounds, b) re-check the disc in, as if he had left the pitch significantly, he would bring his foot back to the line anyway, or c) is there no case for a call here? I'm just wondering, as the line is OB, but when the disc/player leaves the pitch, play starts with the thrower's pivot on the line, right?
12.3.1. If momentum causes a player to touch an out-of-bounds area after catching the disc in-bounds, the player is considered inbounds. That players puts the disc into play at the spot on the Field of Play closest to where they first crossed the Perimeter Line. Which I understand to be C, though I guess your pivot foot should be the pitch side of the Perimeter Line...
