15.A.1

The stall count consists of announcing "stalling" and counting from one to ten loudly enough for the thrower to hear.

15.A.2

Only the marker (3.Q.6) may initiate or continue a stall count, and may do so anytime a thrower has possession of a disc that is live or in play.

15.A.3

If the thrower has not released the disc at the first utterance of the word "ten," it is a turnover. The marker loudly announces "stall" and play stops. If the disc is thrown, play continues until the outcome of that pass is determined. A stall is not a violation and the Continuation Rule (17.C) does not apply.

15.A.4

If the defense switches markers, the new marker must reinitiate the stall count.

Reinitiate the stall count means to start over ("stalling one...").

15.A.5

If a stall count is interrupted by a call, the thrower and marker are responsible for agreeing on the correct count before the check. The count reached is the last number fully uttered by the marker before the call. The count is resumed with the word "stalling" followed by the number listed below:
