Hey All-

The following discussion came up among my ulti-friends and
lovers:

When (if ever) is it allowable to count stalls on a player
when that player has not yet established his pivot foot on
the playing field proper?  The three situations I have in
mind are these:

Situation A:  Offensive player catches the disc and his
momentum carries him out of bounds.  Can I start stalling as
soon as he catches the disc or do I need to wait until he
establishes a pivot foot/ground tap?

Situation B:  Offensive player catches the disc and his
momentum carries him over the goal line that he is
attacking.  Can I start stalling as soon as he catches the
disc or do I need to wait until he establishes a pivot
foot/ground tap?

Situation C:  Defensive player catches a disc in the endzone
he is defending.  He is now on offense.  Can I start
stalling as soon as he intercepts the disc, or do I need to
wait until he moves to the goal line and establishes a pivot
foot (or establishes a pivot foot where he is since he is
not required to move to the goal line)?

My confusion lies here:  In each of these situations, it
seems like the player could take their sweet time
establishing a pivot foot, thus allowing their team to set
up, and gain an advantage while I am relegated to wait for
him to be ready.  

I've read the delay of game rules and understand how they
could apply to these situations but what I really want to
know is do I have to apply them or can I simply start
stalling.

Thanks for any help you can give.

FK
