Rules Analysis
Any time an infraction is called, the continuation rule applies. Continuation Rule: Play stops when the thrower in possession acknowledges that an infraction has been called. If a call is made when the disc is in the air or the thrower is in the act of throwing, or if the thrower fails to acknowledge the call and subsequently attempts a pass, play continues until the outcome of that pass is determined. For the purpose of the continuation rule, an uncontested stall that occurs after another call is treated the same as an incomplete pass . Play then either stops or continues according to the following conditions:
This refers to the thrower who possesses the disc or has just released the disc at the time of the infraction/call. Who the thrower (II.T.5) is determined at the time of the infraction/call.Thus, if you get stalled before you acknowledge a call, it is treated the same as if you ignored the call and threw a turnover.
If the team that called the infraction has possession :
Determine which team has possession after the outcome of the play is decided, before resolving any calls.
If the offense called the infraction before the thrower began the act of throwing (II.T.3), play stops and possession reverts to the thrower .
If the throwing motion began after the call, any completion will return to the thrower. So if a handler calls a foul away from the play and the thrower then winds up and completes a pass, the disc will return to the thrower, whether the foul affected play or not. Note that the timing is based on when the infraction was called for this rule.
