404.16 Violations:
A. General: A
violation occurs when a player violates
an y of the rules in
this article, other than the rules
relating to physical contact, in any
manner.
B. Calling the Violation: A
violation may be called by any player who
recognizes that a violation has occurred.
The player should immediately call,
"Violation," or the name of the
specific violation, loudly.
C. Traveling: Any journey by a
player while in possession of the disc
which is in violation of these rules
constitutes a travel and is not
permitted.
At all times a thrower must
keep all or part of the pivot
foot in contact with the single
point on the field established as
the pivot point. Whenever the
thrower loses contact with that
point, he or she has traveled.
Whenever a receiver takes
more steps than he or she
requires to stop after catching a
pass, that receiver has traveled.
If a receiver, after
receiving a pass on the run,
releases a pass after making
three ground contacts and before
coming to a complete stop, that
receiver has traveled.
If a stall count is in
progress a nd
traveling is called, the stall
count shall resume from the point
of interruption or at
"five" ("Stall,
six..."), whichever is
lower.
If
the thrower releases a pass after
being called for traveling and
the pass is incomplete, the pass
counts and results in a turnover.
D. Strip: No
defensive player may touch the disc while
it is in the possession of the thrower or
receiver. If a defensive player does so,
causing the thrower or receiver to drop
the disc, the player who was in
possession of the disc calls,
"Strip."
The
player formerly in possession of
the disc regains possession at
the point where the strip
occurred and play shall resume
via a check.
If a
stall count was in progress as
the disc was stripped, the count
is reset to zero.
A contested strip of the
receiver is treated the same as a
contested catching foul; an
uncontested strip in the end zone
is a goal.
