I was hoping for some clarification on a rule too. Are you allowed to catch the pull out-of-bounds?I can't see anything which makes this clear in the rules. We called someone out in a Summer League game recently because they stepped off the pitch whilst catching the pull, and there was a lengthy discussion about it. The only way I could see that you would be allowed to do it, is if the team receiving the disc were the 'defensive' team and thus always in-bounds, but in the 'Pull' section of the rules it specifically states that the defensive team throws to the offensive team. I suppose if you clapped to say that you were bricking the disc, and then caught it out of bounds that might be deemed acceptable too? Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks!Thom Also, I agree with Dave, either all players move or no players move, I can't see why some would and some wouldn't.
