Rules Analysis
End Zone Possession
If a turnover results in a team gaining possession in the end zone that they are defending, the player in possession must immediately either:
put the disc into play at the spot of the disc (to fake a throw or pause after gaining possession commits the player to put the disc into play at that spot); or
Carry the disc directly to the closest point on the goal line and put it into play at that spot. If this option is chosen, the player taking possession must put the disc into play at the goal line. Failure to do so is a travel .
The player may carry the disc at any speed, constant or variable, while not unreasonably delaying.The player must put the disc into play either at the spot of the disc or on the goal line, not inbetween.
If a team gains or retains possession in the end zone that they are attacking other than by scoring a goal in accordance with rule XI, the player in possession must carry the disc directly to, and put it into play at, the spot on the goal line closest to where possession was gained.
If a team gains or retains possession of a dead disc in the end zone that they are attacking, the disc is checked into a live state where the infraction occurred, and the thrower then proceeds according to X.B.
For example, after an uncontested receiving foul.
