Rule of the Week

When violation calls are made by a NON-thrower:
1. If the team that called the infraction has possession:
             a) If the offense called the infraction before the thrower began the act of throwing, play stops and possession reverts to the thrower .
             b) If the offense called the infraction after the thrower began the act of throwing, or if the defense called the infraction, play continues un-halted. Players should announce "play on"
 
In short, if a violation is called before a throw, the play resets. If a violation is called in the act of throwing, play continues. This means that if the throw resulted in an incomplete pass, then the play is considered a turnover (Except if a foul occured on the thrower or recepient of the disc).
 
For example:
An offensive team picks up the disc, commits a violation, and throws an incomplete pass. A violation is called AFTER the throw has been made. What happens?
Seeing as the violation did not directly affect the play (the thrower made an incomplete pass despite his own violation) and was called AFTER the throw was made, the play would continue and result in a turnover. The defending team would take the disc where it landed, not where the violation occurred (if the disc lands in their endzone, the defending team has the option of bringing the disc to the closest point of their endzone line).
 
Note: If a dispute arises concerning an infraction or the outcome of a play (e.g., a catch where no one had a good perspective), and the teams cannot come to a satisfactory resolution, play stops, and the disc is returned to the thrower and put into play with a check (meaning the disc being played must be acknowledged by the defender), with the count at plus one or at six if it was over five. (If the count was at stall 2 when the violation was called, it would be called in at stall 3 due to the "plus one" rule. However, if the violation was called at stall 9, it would resume at stall 6, seeing as it is over stall 5).
