Rules Analysis
Offsetting Fouls:
If fouls are called by offensive and defensive players on the same play, the disc returns to the thrower.
Non incidental contact that occurs as two or more opposing players move towards a single point simultaneously should be treated as offsetting fouls.
Note:
There are times when both players have a right to a space and neither player can be deemed to have initiated contact. In these circumstances, if body contact occurs that affects the outcome of the play, this is to be treated as an Offsetting Foul (17.10.2). The disc shall be returned to the thrower. Extra: Incidental contact may occur as two or more players move towards a single point simultaneously but this should not be considered a foul.-- -- Players involved in these incidents should be mindful that they often do not have the best perspective on who initiated the contact and should ask nearby players for their perspective.
