You can't just stand over the disc: --------- 8.6. After a turnover, the team that has gained possession of the disc must continue play without delay. The intended thrower must move towards the disc and then towards the pivot point at walking pace or faster. ---------
But, equally, there is no delay of game call, and no set method for dealing with people who break the above rule as: --------- 1.2. It is trusted that no player will intentionally violate the rules; thus there are no harsh penalties for infractions, but rather a method for resuming play in a manner which simulates what would most likely have occurred had there been no infraction. --------- In the 2007 additional championship rules (appendix A) there was some stuff for dealing with delays: --------- A10. Putting the Disc into Play A10.1. After a turnover, the team that has gained possession of the disc must put the disc into play under the following time conditions: A10.1.1. If the disc is located in the Playing Field Proper after a turnover, the disc must be put into play within fifteen (15) seconds of when the disc came to a stop. A defensive player may, if they are within three (3) meters of the disc, call out “Delay” and start counting to fifteen (15) at 1-second intervals. Once the defensive player has reached fifteen (15), that player may check the disc in and initiate the stall count. A10.1.2. If the disc is located outside the Playing Field Proper after a turnover, the disc must be put into play within twenty-five (25) seconds of when the disc came to a stop. A defensive player may, if they are within three (3) meters of the location where the disc will be put into play, call out “Delay” and start counting to twenty-five (25) at 1-second intervals. Once the defensive player has reached twenty-five (25), that player may check the disc in and initiate the stall count. --------- But we never played those rules at tour. They were for World Ultimate and Guts Championships etc. Hope that helps.
