To: "Dave Grayson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, 10 July, 2008, 10:01 AM Hey Dave, I think most people have been playing this as "no turnover" in the last few years, and while i do think it is frustrating and an issue that needs addressed, there is a very good reason for this. Nobody had mentioned this rule yet 17.1. Whenever a call is made other than the first call of a marking violation, play stops immediately unless 17.2 or 17.3 applies. Once play has stopped, no turn over is possible. In the scenario you described 17.2 or 17.3 do not apply, therefore the rules starte quite clearly that there cannot be a turnover, it should also mean that any completed pass should be returned regardless of wether the call affected play. I think this is easier to police than having people argue over what did and didnt affect play, and the solution to the problem could be for players to think a second longer before making an unnecesary pick or foul call.

To: "BritDisc" <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, 10 July, 2008, 9:02 AM Just to crystallise my point about the Spirit rules, I want to understand currently if there is a generally accepted way of interpreting the rules I would like to conduct a quick informal survey of opinion. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REPLY TO ME, NOT BRITDISC as people will get upset if this turns into (even a few) very similar emails! I'm interested how many people already play a certain way. Here is a scenario, what would you do in this situation this weekend? * "I am on the line with the disc, just outside the endzone. A handler cuts up the line and receives a short pass from me that they drop. Just before the pass is made, a call of pick is made from the back of the stack. None of the handlers had stopped playing, no-one else could possibly have made a play on the disc, I and my marker had not heard the call of pick". * If you were marking me what would you do? Do you claim the turnover? I dont know how to set up a poll, so haven't done, but please feel free to reply directly to me, just simply saying "turnover" or "not turnover". I'll collate the responses and send a message out tomorrow, as I would hate to bombard britdisc :-o Or feel free to ignore!
