The pull may be made only after the puller and a player on the receiving team both raise their hands to signal their team's readiness to begin play. A team must have a minimum of two players and a maximum of seven players on the field in order to signal readiness. The pull occurs when the puller throws (3.K) the disc after signaling readiness.

Players (3.Q.10) may not signal readiness until all of their other team members are clear of the field (9.C.3.a).
