  • 404.10 The Thrower:
    • A. A player may become "the thrower" by fielding a pull, receiving the disc from a teammate, intercepting a pass from an opponent, or by picking up the disc after a turnover. Whenever the disc is on the ground following a turnover, whether in or out-of-bounds, any player becoming offense may take possession of the disc and become the thrower. A defensive player who establishes possession of the disc becomes the thrower, but may not throw the disc before he or she establishes a legal pivot foot. To do so is a travelling violation.
    • B. Prior to releasing a throw, the thrower must establish a pivot foot and may not change that pivot foot until the throw is released except in the case of an offensive player who has just received a pass and is throwing before the third ground contact in accordance with 404.12(C). The thrower has the right to pivot off the pivot foot in any direction. However, once the marker has established a legal position, the thrower may not pivot into him. The thrower may throw the disc in any manner and in any direction he or she chooses.
    • C. In the event the disc is dropped by the thrower without defensive interference, it is considered an incomplete pass.
