18. Infractions and Violations;- 18.1. Marking Infractions:
- 18.1.1. Marking infractions include the following:
- 18.1.1.1. “Fast Count” – the marker:
- 18.1.1.1.1. starts the stall count before the disc is live,
- 18.1.1.1.2. does not start or restart the stall count with the word “Stalling”,
- 18.1.1.1.3. counts in less than one second intervals,
- 18.1.1.1.4. does not correctly reduce or reset the stall count when required, or
- 18.1.1.1.5. does not start the stall count from the correct number.
- 18.1.1.2. “Straddle” – a line between a defensive player’s feet contains the thrower’s pivot point.
- 18.1.1.3. “Disc Space” – any part of a defensive player is less than one disc diameter away from the torso of the thrower. However, if this situation is caused solely by movement of the thrower, it is not an infraction.
- 18.1.1.4. “Wrapping” – a line between a defensive player’s hands or arms intersects the thrower’s torso, or any part of the defensive player’s body is above the thrower’s pivot point. However, if this situation is caused solely by movement of the thrower, it is not an
- infraction.
- 18.1.1.5. "Double Team" –a defensive player other than the marker is within three (3) metres of the thrower's pivot point without also guarding another offensive player. However, merely running across this area is not a double team.
- 18.1.1.6. “Vision” - a defensive player uses any part of their body to intentionally obstruct the thrower’s vision.
- 18.1.2. A marking infraction may be contested by the defence, in which case play stops.
- 18.1.3. After all marking infractions listed in 18.1.1. that are not contested, the marker must resume the stall count with the number last fully uttered before the call, minus one (1).
- 18.1.4. The marker may not resume counting until any illegal positioning has been corrected. To do otherwise is a subsequent marking infraction.
- 18.1.5. Instead of calling a marking infraction, the thrower may call a marking violation and stop play if;
- 18.1.5.1. the stall count is not corrected,
- 18.1.5.2. there is no stall count,
- 18.1.5.3. there is an egregious marking infraction, or
- 18.1.5.4. there is a pattern of repeated marking infractions.
- 18.1.6. If the thrower calls a marking infraction, or a marking violation, and also attempts a pass before, during or after the call, the call has no consequences and if the pass is incomplete, then the turnover stands. However if the disc is returned to thrower for a separate breach, the stall count must be adjusted accordingly.
