Rules Analysis
"If either team fails to maintain proper positioning before the pull, the observer will call "offsides" before the receiving team gains possession of the disc. The offsides call does not stop play, and the Continuation Rule (17.C) does not apply. Receiving team must have each player with one foot on the goal line prior to the pull being released. Pulling team may not have have any player’s foot cross goal line before pull has been released
" In the first instance of offsides by the pulling team, the receiving team may let the disc hit the ground untouched and then take the disc at the brick mark closest to the end zone the receiving team is defending (following the same signaling procedure described in 9.B.6.d.2), even if the disc initially hits in-bounds, in addition to any other applicable options per 9.B.6-9.B.7.
