Please can this be clarified...
If I call "contact" on somebody they must subtract 2 from the stall
count.
Simple?
Apart from the fact that I can't actually subtract two from the stall
without using my fingers, there is actually room for confusion here,
because while I was stalling " 1, 2, 3, 4 (contact) 2, 3..."
Some other, rather clever people, were simply going back one ie: "1,
2, 3, 4 (contact) 3, 4 ..."
This was explained to me with the following logic: I have said 4. The
next number I would have said would be 5, so instead I say 3, which is
going back two.
I rather hope that they are correct, as I'm pretty certain that I can
go back one then continue stalling.. but I can see this leading to
pitch time arguments.
My second question is this (sorry): "For any subsequent 'Contact' the
staller must go back to 1 and continue" So this is also without
stoppage - right?
BTW and IMHO it's a very good new rule. I think it will resolve a lot
of pointless stoppages.

Here is the relevant section from the rules:
18.1.1.7. "Contact" - a defensive player makes contact with the
thrower prior to
the thrower releasing the disc and not during the throwing motion.
However, if this contact is caused solely by movement of the thrower,
it is
not an infraction.
18.1.2. A marking infraction may be contested by the defence, in which
case play stops.
18.1.3. On the first call of a marking infraction that is not
contested, the marker must
subtract two (2) from the stall count and continue.
18.1.4. The marker may not restart counting until any illegal
positioning has been
corrected. To do otherwise is a subsequent marking infraction.
18.1.5. For any subsequent uncontested marking infraction called
during the same
throwers possession, the marker must reset the count to one (1) and
continue.
18.1.6. If the thrower attempts a pass and a marking infraction is
called during the
throwing motion or when the disc is in the air, the call has no
consequences.
