This must be called before the receiving team touches the disc and the pull must be repeated as quickly as  possible. 7.6. As soon as the disc is released, all players may move in any direction. 7.7. No player on the defensive team may touch the disc after a pull until a member of the offensive team contacts the disc or the disc contacts the ground.
