Parity Poll. A season in review!


Hello Parity players!

Our continual goal is to perfect an Ultimate league system that balances social experience, player development, new athlete recruitment, competitiveness and above all, fun!

Stall Down or Fast Count?

I see this happen all the time, especially during indoor play and the stall count goes to 7; the marker gets close to stall 10 (7 indoors) and calls the disc down. The thrower believes it was a fast count but didn't have enough time to react. Here's the rule:

XIV.B.1.b:
If a fast count occurs in such a manner that the thrower does not have a reasonable opportunity to call fast count before the first utterance of the word ten, the play is treated as a contested stall (XIV.A.3.b).

XIV.A.3.b:
The thrower may contest a stall call in the belief that the disc was released before the first utterance of the word ten. If a stall is contested:
  1. If the pass was complete, play stops and possession reverts to the thrower. After a check, the marker resumes the stall count at 8.
  2. If the pass was incomplete, it is a turnover; play stops and resumes with a check.
So as the player with the disc, make sure you don't throw an incomplete pass otherwise it's a turnover regardless or whether there was a fast count or not. This goes for every single play in ultimate frisbee unless a foul occurs. If you think the count was fast, take your time and make the call!
