Rules Analysis
After a player initiates a stoppage incorrectly, including after mishearing a call, not knowing the rules, or not making the call immediately:
For example, if a defender tells a receiver to stop play, but play was not supposed to have stopped and a pass to the receiver results in a turnover, the disc is returned to the thrower and the stall count would resume at “Stalling 1” as per rule 9.5.1.If there is disagreement over who initiated the stoppage incorrectly, then the disc should be returned to the last non-disputed thrower.
if the opposition does not gain or retain possession, the disc must be returned to the last non-disputed thrower, unless 16.3 applies. The stall count resumes as if an accepted breach has been caused by the player who initiated the stoppage incorrectly.
