Any offensive player may pick the disc up from the ground, and that player must put the disc into play.

The offense has 10 seconds to put the disc into play if the disc is resting on the entire playing field or out of bounds. After 10 seconds, an official signals play to begin and initiates a stall count if a marker is within 3 yards of where the disc will come into play. Officials will suspend this count if the offense is waiting for a new disc or ifofficials determine that the disc cannot reasonably be put into play within 10 seconds.

The thrower must establish a pivot at the exact spot of the disc if the disc is resting on the primary playing field. If the disc is picked up other than where it is to be put into play, the thrower must establish a pivot at the spot the official indicates.
