Gift #1:
So, I'm marking some guy who is right on the sideline, forcing toward the middle of the field. He steps around, placing his non-pivot foot out of bounds and throws a flick. I get a piece of it with my hand but it still sails downfield, back in-bounds and his reciever catches it. However, I was straddling the line when I touched it. OB where I stand? Or completed pass?
Gift #2:
I'm in the right (my right) ear in the monster, being awesome. We force them nearly into the back right (my right) corner of the endzone. I'm standing out of bounds. Buddy tries to break between the mark and myself, I layout and catch it, landing in the endzone. Calahan? Or my disc at the front corner of the endzone?
Gift #3:
(This actually happened to a teammate of mine. I think it is the greatest play I've ever witnessed.) I have the disc, it's crazy windy. We're playing on the beach. I throw it, it gets caught in the wind. But comes back toward me and a couple people go up for it, but it sails over their head. In the mean time, a teammate of mine is running toward me to catch it, but stumbles and falls. I know I can't catch it, so instead, I MAC it toward my teammate. He catches it. Turnover? Or smartest play ever?
ahaha
#1) Completed Pass
(IX. E A disc becomes out-of-bounds when it first contacts the out-of-bounds area, contacts an out-of-bounds offensive player, or is caught by an out-of-bounds defensive player.).
-note that a disc does not become out of bounds after touching a defensive player.
#2) Your disc on the front cone of the endzone (See above rule).
-Once you catch the disc (as an out of bounds defender) the disc becomes out of bounds.
#3) Smartest play ever.
(XV.A) A player may bobble the disc in order to gain control of it, but purposeful bobbling (including tipping, delaying, guiding, brushing or the like) to oneself in order to advance the disc in any direction from where it initially was contacted is considered traveling.)
Harder to quote a rule for this one but no where in the rules will it disallow this play since you are not macking it to yourself.
Hope that helps ;)
2 out of 3 ain't bad...
You're correct on the first two, however the third is incorrect. It's a bit of a trick question because under the 11th edition UPA rules it's legal, but under the WFDF rules it isn't. We were playing beach which is 99% of the time governed by WFDF.
When it happened, the outcome of the play was a completion. We looked it up in the only rule book we had (UPA, obviously) concluded it was a legal play. Only afterwards did we realize that under WFDF it is not allowed.
13.1. A turnover transfers possession of the disc from one team to the other and occurs when:
13.1.4. in attempting a pass, the thrower contacts the disc after release prior to the disc being contacted by another player (a “double touch”);
well played
ah i like trick questions
