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.
