Much as I hate to prolong an already long and fairly petty debate...
In the past, a stall resetting meant going back to zero, rather than 1. However, 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. If my understanding's right, the zero count of 'stalling' should take a second during a normal stall; 'stalling, 1, 2, 3...' rather than 'stallingone, 2, 3...' (or have the rules changed...?) So why is it the case that after two foul calls, the count isn't fully reset? If it goes back to one, the count is only nine seconds. Matt said "Now for all references to the stall count, the rules quote the first number you should say. So stall resets to 1 means that you have to say 1..2... (A second contact effectively resets the stall to 0 and gives you a whole new 10 seconds)." I don't think it is a whole new ten seconds, i think it's 9. A small difference perhaps, but one that rule wise doesn't really make sense to me, and crucially, could mean a stall out at a critical time. It seems a little incongruous in my opinion. I would have thought that the case of two contacts should be "stalling, 1,2,3,4,contact,3,4,5,contact,stalling, 1,2,3,4...." but the rules do clearly specify a return to count 1 rather than zero. Can anyone explain to me why this is? Apologies if i have any fundamental misunderstanding of the rules here, just looking for a bit of clarification to ensure i don't bark up the wrong tree at tour 0.

Wrong. The rules have been changed to try and remove the misunderstanding on where you restart a stall, ie. When someone used to say stall is coming in on 3, did that mean stalling 3..4.. or stalling 4..5.. Now for all references to the stall count, the rules quote the first number you should say. So stall resets to 1 means that you have to say 1..2... (A second contact effectively resets the stall to 0 and gives you a whole new 10 seconds). At least that's my understanding...
