I got a call at the weekend from a very experienced (read: old) player which, at the time, seemed absurd, but I can't find anything in the '07 rules that says otherwise. The call was along the lines of "you don't need to have to established a pivot point within your first 3 ground contacts in order to pass the disc". That is to say, you can throw with both feet OFF the ground, if you're within your first 3 steps.
This went against my understanding of the rules, and I imagine most players would call such a move as a travel. The rules don't seem to explicitly state this as a violation: 17.2.1. A Travel violation occurs if: 17.2.1.2. the thrower fails to keep in contact with the pivot point once established; 17.2.1.4. a receiver releases a pass during or after the third ground contact and before coming to a complete stop (any ground contact during the catch is the first ground contact); Any thoughts?
