Answers to some questions that have come up, to save anyone else asking... > if the disc is thrown in say an air bounce fashion and it doesnt reach > the endzone, and lands on the pitch, can you brick that even though > its a perfectly fine (if not a bit short) pull?
Any disc that doesn't reach the endzone can be bricked, but in practice it usually won't be, because it's better to catch it and play than to brick it and let the d set up. The reason it can be bricked is to penalise discs that go out the side of the pitch before the endzone, or rollers that can be hard to stop. If it's a catchable (i.e. in the air) disc that's infield, it'll usually be caught and played. Everything is designed to encourage the thrower to throw it somewhere infield and in the air, and to encourage the receiver to try and catch it, thus speeding up the game. > also if you were to throw a knife or something that landed in endzone > would that be a valid pull as it doesnt travel through the 2m box in > clean flight. As long as the knife is in flight when it passes through some part of the 2m box, that's fine, so if it lands in the end zone it must be OK. Could perhaps be clearer by adding 'any part of the box' or something, but it'll do for now. I'll change it next year. It doesn't have to travel /all the way/ through the box, it just has to be above the ground and below 2m (i.e. theoretically catchable) somewhere in the endzone. To interpret the rule otherwise would mean that anything landing in the endzone would be invalid, even if it floated gently down, which would be absurd.
